How to attach woven wire to corner round metal post?

[QueenieBelleB]

There was a big miscommunication with our fence guy. He did great work for our chainlink backyard. I called him and asked if he also installed cattle wire. I showed him the fence wire we had purchase. He gave us a quote to do the entire thing. It was out of our budget so we asked him to just install the corner posts thinking it would be tpost or wood posts. This is what I have. Everything is concreted in and looks very sturdy. My problem is we don't know how to attach the fence wire to it. I would think cutting and wrapping it around the fence would slide without staples. I'm not really sure what to do because we are stuck with these and the welded wire. We are going to be using tpost for the rest of the fence.

Please Help!

This is the wire that we are using to contain our ducks in and hopefully loose dogs out.

Just don't start or stop the WW at the corners(just wrap it around the chain link corner posts), hopefully you have the right connectors to attach to the Tposts.

Hose clamps would work, and they won't rust.

I use welded wire and yes it slides on metal poles.
You've got to start with an anchor point, perhaps one of the tposts as the start point, secure the welded wire to that. Either use wire connectors, like the ones on dog crates, wrap it around the posts and secure it to itself. Or use additional wire around the poles and attach to that, although that's not as strong as the former and it can slide up an down.
If you use the one at your gate point then you don't have to cut it.
You've still got to attach to the corners by using wire pulling it tight but do that after you've rolled the whole lot out tension from start point until the end.

Hoping that sounds clear enough. I've got no pics because I'm now using wooden posts an just bought new rolls of welded wire

Your fencer hasn't done you any favours.
What you have is round metal posts more suitable for chainlink fencing and a roll of stocknet usually hung on line wires stretched between wooden posts. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is strip the the first four or five vertical wires off the end of the stocknet. Use these stripped horizontal ends to wrap around the post and then wrap the tails around the horizontal wires of the stocknet.
This shows one way of doing it.

That is woven wire and not welded wire. Woven wire needs to be tensioned.

I do think you could probably get it to work with pipe clamps or even chain link fence clamps and tension bars.

I made the corrections.

I'm pretty upset with the situation...

Thank y'all giving us some solutions. It seems like we can install the wire by wrapping the woven wire around the round corner post, tieing the wire to itself just like on a wooden post. Instead of stapling the wire, we can use hose clamps to help with the sliding. We are aware that we have to pull it tight with a tension bar.

I will still have to figure out the gate because they installed the same post

You can actually drill into those posts for attaching wire. Or since that could weaken the pipe, bolt a wood slat to the round post. Then wrap your wire, secure it to itself, staple it to wood slat & stretch.

Paint the wood slat - silver grey to match round posts.
