Brings up the old question of the value of time. That is the laborer's call. Takes time to cut trees down, limb, pile brush, cut posts to length, perhaps split to quarter, haul to fence location, dig substantial hole in loamy, sandy, clayey, or rocky soil, then set solidly.

Metal T-posts go in fast, can be removed easily and taken with the owners to a new location.
