The post issue should be ok but, I would highly recommend stretching it as it keeps tension on the posts and makes them that much more durable. You could try using a post to stretch it but, investing in a wire stretcher was one of the best things I did.

Electricians don't, but farmers do (for building barbed wire/electric fences). If the newbie is sent to a sufficiently well-stocked hardware store the joke can backfire. Great fun. http://www.amazon.com/Dutton-Lainson-405-Heavy-Duty-Stretcher-Splicer/dp/B00004YK6I/
