Tractor Supply sells fence, and T-Post, The cost of fencing has really skyrocketed since inflation has hit, I use sheep & goat field fence it comes in 330' roll and it's real heavy, but I stretch it with a come-a-long, the tighter the better, also keeps anyone from slipping under it. Informative video, thanks.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you those are great tips!

[@tomkinsonfarms1212]

I just used this type of fence for my chicken run!

[@connorhart7597]

I understand If you don't come back to this, but I'd love more info on the stretching with a comealong, I'm having a hard time envisioning what you mean

[@timhaskins3701]

How could i use that wire without a come a long? What would be a cheaper way to stretcher

[@connorhart7597]

@timhaskins3701 a rope with a windlass would be my next choice. Aside from that, walmart and tractor supply both have pretty cheap comealongs, and they're incredibly handy to have around. I've use one to straight out the bumper on my bronco once after I veered off a trail

[@SOPHIAMONTALDO-m2j]

my dog got hit by a car yesterday luckily she survived . I'm a single woman on a budget and this seems to be the best fence to build thanks for this

[@thereelrosso1996]

Did this with my backyard 2 years ago! Spent less then $200 at tractor supply...love it!

[@thereelrosso1996]

I also wrapped the bottom of the hog panels with chicken wire!

[@EricH98]

How the hell did you do this for $200

[@mts7274]

Your backyard must be small if you did it for less than $200

[@nemohydro6969]

Ditto, and i added a hotwire on inside and outside. Dogs kept getting out, and now im buliding a chicken coop in the yard.

[@stevenbrown5210]

Just the fencing is $100 for like 50 ft now. FJB

[@michaelrushton2278]

Every 50 feet and at all corners, sink an 8 foot, 6 inch round wood post with concrete to a depth of about 3 feet, so that you have 5 foot sticking out of the ground. Start at one wooden post and secure the fence with fencing staples. Not roll it out to the 2nd - 50 foot post or to the nearest corner. Using a come-along you can stretch the fence nice and tight, and then staple it to the 1st wooden post. Do the same thing all the way around so that it's nice and tight and secured to all the wooden posts. THEN use the T-post clips and attach to the T-posts. You'll have a nice, tight fence that will last a long time.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Thank you for the tip! We have secured the corners but that would be better to secure it all!

I love the simplicity of your explanations. It’s the best easy to understand video I’ve come across. I live in HI. & it comes with challenges. I’m in an acre too. The entire front of property crossing driveway is gated. So I must do the other 3 sides. One problem is I have old lava between 300-700 yrs. old. I guess I’ll survey property line between little markers to see if it’s dirt, then proceed. I’ll ask Tractor Supply here info on old lava. Hogwire fence is cheapest here & I want to do exactly like yours. We have wild hogs. Now I’m inspired after watching your video. Thank you very much, this video boosted my confidence.

I did the exact same thing to my backyard (half acre lot). Same posts, same wire fencing as yours. For the front, I used pick fencing with a gate. The wire fencing last 20 years, and went through many dogs, until I finally replaced it with a chain link. There's a house around here that used split rail fencing with the wire fencing stapled behind it. It looks great and you can't see the wire fence from a distance.

[@AcresOfAdventure]

Hey Donna! That is a great idea, once we can budget out some wood post we would love to add that for the look!

[@donnascheible5393]

@@AcresOfAdventure To be honest, in the semi rural setting that I live in, the split railing/wire fencing idea is aesthetically more pleasing vs. a chain link. The only reason why I went with a chain link is because it's not visible among all the trees/shrubs on my property.

That fencing is fine for keeping your dogs in place. However, it will not work for goats; they will push and rub on it until they pop the welds and bend it all up. Also it does not work by itself for gardens. Full grown cottontails can pop right through that 2x4 opening. So for gardens you have to cover it with something like chicken wire to keep the rabbits out. Just thought you'd like to know.
