Instead of T Posts you can just use a 2x4 "sharpened" to a point at the end. It will many years before rotting out. Buy 10ft ers, cut in 1/2.

it also helps that you have a large level / flat area to stack on, my stacking area is far from level. Even when I criss cross the ends they still have a tendency to fall over without t posts

While it is true I have good level ground now, it was not always that way because we have not always lived here so I know what it is like to stack on unlevel ground. Again I'll state, t-posts are unnecessary if you do it right.

Well, I once knew a fellow named Art but I don't have much art when it comes to stacking. I just get it done and forget about it for a few years.
