Never known anyone use square posts for net fencing. Loads of extra work for no benefit whatsoever. And would look stupid. 

 

Quite a few local contractors use square locally through choice, with a chapper it doesnt make that much difference as u can turn them urself but a pita to try and mel and hold the turning bar, usually becomes a 2 person job melling.

 

A  lot of local farmers/estates seem to ask for them too.

 

Must admit i now prefer them for hand ball jobs as virtually imposible to get a 31/2" cundy post nowadays all far bigger almost impossible to mel in.

I guess there might be an argument that square posts last longer- being cut out of the heartwood- rather than cundys which are basically the shit sappy top of the tree. I’ve seen a lowland  contractor try and twist square 5x3s for post and rail up here on  Dartmoor- didn’t end well for the posts. They’d snap rather than twist and it ended up looking like a dogs dinner.
