Building Safe Fencing For Horses - Part 3

[@ronaldharmon9891]

The alternative to "a little bit of dirt and a whole lot of tamping" is to have a guy in black do it for ya. I just found your channel and it's GREAT thank you. All the horse information is so good. My brother and I saved our paper route $ and would go riding here in southern New Jersey back in the mid 60's such great memories.

Dwayne; right on , with the tapping of post, Good share. AAH, the days when I could haul post across . like that young fella was with the post.

[@SammyFender]

I’ve installed thousands of feet of fence in my life. The best way I found to tamp is to have a young strong guy to do it! That dang spud bar gets HEAVY!!!

[@garyb4929]

Right about the Bar, we had an old railroad bar. That I used a lot,lol.

[@mackellyman5642]

If you want to stay fit, it's best to do it as long as you are able, IMHO.

Never fails... the wind comes out of nowhere when you get the string line out 😄

[@bryanfox2735]

Concrete guy of 25 years here. You half hitch your string around the pole. No nails needed. Love your channel. Just a tip.

[@barrynelson634]

I was thinking the same thing. Not a concrete guy, just a fellow construction worker (former, hehe).

[@urnaighean_shamhach]

Have always tamped around poles when setting them. As you noted, little at a time and building up. Also, always added about 2" of gravel in the bottom of the hole for the post to rest on... Not to mention belling out the bottom of the hole... Was taught that way in NM

[@garyb4929]

Grew up setting post, same as you just described, grew up in S.W Texas .

[@Livefreejeeper]

I have alway tamped and water in my post with a hose if I have a good water source. Living in Florida we have a lot of sandy ground so it very important to water them in.

[@MrBearbait75]

It's always exciting to start the building process instead of the demolition! Thanks for y'alls time! You're in TN now so you've got to start getting the slang. 😀

[@steveadams99708]

You sir, are a real fence builder!

[@howiej2121]

Appreciate the string tip, I always tied mine around the pole, so the string ended up in the middle of the pole. Nice to see you have some good help with the fence task. You have a nice place in the country thanks for sharing.

[@lauraalbertson7821]

Pretty interesting to learn something new 💁🏻‍♀️😇

[@robvernachio8290]

I tamp but usually add some concrete too... especially if you dont plan on ever moving the post

[@johnjacobs4207]

mighty fine job. Beautiful country. Did you say Tenn? MY Great Great Grandfather left Tenn to go fight the battle of New Orleans and he did not come home. One of 11 american dead that day. He was on his thoroughbred leading the charge

[@TMats100]

Glad to be missin’ the post pounder part of this project (I believe they call that alliteration).

[@SolidStateSoul]

With large posts I always pour some quikrete in the hole like a moat around the post. Then tamp on top. Once the quikrete sets that pole ain't leaning.

[@perryseltz8010]

Thanks for sharing all your valuable experience. I anticipate fencing and cross fencing 5 acres next year and hopefully this will save me from making some costly mistakes. I look forward to seeing you in TN this fall.

[@James222SD]

Been building fences for 6 years now since I was 19 and shoot its a job. Nice video good tips, glad the beard is back. Hey though at least you got an auger 90% of my work is to rough to use one with it either becoming deadweight or dangerous on site.

[@shaunroberts9361]

Nice work Dewayne and Momma...

[@davebrooks2942]

The comments are good entertainment also

[@johnrussell261]

I just want ask the question “why “ would you notch the posts you are planning on bracing? Cutting a notch will weaken the corner post . Now if you cut a brace that goes horizontally between the corner post and the brace post then drive in long spikes to hold horizontal brace in place, then wrap your twisted wire from top of brace post to bottom of corner post, then take your fencing pliers and twist wire together til it’s tight. Your corner post will last a lot longer… that’s just the way I do it here in Saskatchewan Canada….

[@mikes1097]

Water will also compact the soil

[@nicktritz8808]

The best tamper is a slow shoveler.

[@bakabaka2376]

Id like to see "the top ten things you can't live without".

[@barrynelson634]

I know this an unsolicited comment and you don't care to hear all the..."we always did it this way" and I don't blame you, but I'm going to break the rule here. A lineman for our local power company once told me that whether you are setting a power pole (40' +) or a fence post, you are not tamping enough if you are not looking for more dirt to finish the tamping job and mound it over. Boy was he right. And the more you can stick SOME gravel and/or rock in there, the better.

[@steelroz7567]

I can't stand a crooked fence line, my daughter calls me the string line queen. I even use string line to set up our garden rows lol

[@barrynelson634]

Heck yeah, I thought everyone did! :-)))

[@garythorsell5061]

Nice

[@michealsmith28]

12 this work like this is that why you are a bit not that this is so fascinating I don't know what the hell you talking about but it's fascinating

[@michealsmith28]

Were you ever in the movies.

[@mackellyman5642]

Could you look up Rufus Hannassey? Same grit and tenacity, IMHO.

[@buffranchAB]

And the real secret to a tight post by tamping is to use blasting sand and water I should not give up my secrets so easily

[@MrAvjones]

Pretend that the pole is a bull in a ring and you are trying to loop him.

[@larider6449]

Who was the helper?
