Farm fence construction, part 2. Braces and woven wire without a stretcher. FarmCraft101.

You’re probably a really good Dad because you can teach a Son how to do all this stuff that men should know how to do.

[@VitorMadeira]

All your content is *extreme quality content.* This video might be one of the best help I've ever had regarding work in a farm (as I'm a beginner.) Not enough words to describe the grattitude I feel for all the help you have given me with your videos. Thank you so very much. Greetings from Portugal.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Kinda sad to see this one end. Don’t know why, enjoyed it, learned from it, just doesn’t it to end. 👊

[@nixworld767]

I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video. I've watched several now, and was still scratching my head on how to create the stretch pole. Yours was easy to understand. The still shots, text highlights and notes, slow motion and fast motion intelligently placed, as well as a sense of humor, (plus bonus 'how to install a gate'!), make this one great how-to video. Yours is my go-to video on my own project. Thanks man. .....Nick

[@FarmCraft101]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@nicholaspowell5017]

I like that wire wrapping technique for the brace posts!

[@gunnniedog]

I have watched just about all the fence erecting posts that are published. You sir are rated the very best in my opinion. You deserve the golden hammer award. Another subscriber...

[@Suburbanstoneage]

Thank you! I saw some unique tips here, such as no putting the staple teeth in the same grain. This is getting added to my fencing playlist for future reference!

[@WobblycogsUk]

I'll probably never install a fence like that but even so that was absolutely fascinating. Thanks.

[@craigsudman4556]

Great video John...lousy sound, but I can read the closed captions. Thumbs up.

[@MRrwmac]

John, Only one cut? I would have a dozen and go get shots….haha Very nice work.

[@andrewbowers3676]

I am definitely using your stretch trick next time I have to build a fence, looks easier than my normal trick of a couple of 2x4s, carriage bolts, and some chain :-P

[@dereksuddreth8672]

Nice, simple construction. I've watched a lot of fencing videos on KZbin, and yours appeals to me the most. I was interested in the corner treated post stretchers, because I'm using steel T-Posts in the centers. It should work the same, with wire hangers instead of nails in the middle sections...

[@Zach33303]

Right on! I agree with Nick! Awesome job on the video(s) and mindful editing. Gave me the confidence to build my own fence. Thank you.

[@FarmCraft101]

Awesome. Glad to hear it. Good luck with your build.

[@FearlessTrev]

This video is excellent and a great help. Building my first deer fence ever with very little experience but your video is super clear and detailed and gave me the confidence to build my own fence. Thanks, man.

Great tips and tricks. Great video. Like the t-shirt

[@FarmCraft101]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@bpospanov]

The video is GREAT. Thanks from Kazakhstan, Middle Asia.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

When I tighten my brace wire I do it like that. But I don't leave a stop rod or what ever you want to call it. It will and won't untwist.

[@bendigr]

i enjoyed this video. very clear and easy to understand.

[@clambert2020]

What a great video!!! Thanks so much. Well done!!!

[@marksinger4415]

Thank you for sharing. One thing I noticed is missing from every video I’ve watched is running the wire around the corners. Do you cut and wrap it at the corners the way you do at the end/beginning or do you staple and keep the same piece going?

[@bmcgill930]

Great video...I learned a lot...THANKS!!!

[@maceydamron437]

This is a great way to do it I understand it clearly. Is there a general rule of thumb how high to put h brace post? Does it depend on wire size or can you help narrow down the short answer for this?

[@FarmCraft101]

I don't know of any rule of thumb. I would just put it at the height of the wire you are using.

[@davidwatsonii9469]

WHEN WE SET A CORNER OR A END RUN, WE DID MUCH LIKE THIS, BUT WE CUT INTO THE POST TO GET A BETTER HOLD ON THE TOP BRACE, WE ALSO DID AN X TYPE BRACE, WE ADDED A DIAGONAL CUT TO THE TOP OF THE POST, TO HELP RAIN AND SNOW TO SHED OFF, IT LOOKS GOOD

[@luisvillalobos6517]

I thought you wanted all the rebar to end up on the inside, didnt the 2nd and 3rd end up outside?

[@felix1185]

Nice Job!

[@davidjustice4029]

That was good.Thanks!!

[@thud9797]

Don't like the look of the horizontal brace and wire, is any angled brace that much weaker?

[@matthewprestine1974]

Was it used to keep deer out? Did it work?

[@cgrundt23]

At the corner, you cut the fence and wrapped it around the post. How did you attach the next section to that corner post when the other section is already wrapped around it? Thanks!

[@FarmCraft101]

You cut the vertical wires on the next section and wrap the horizontal wires through and around the other wire that is already there. Hope that makes sense.

[@roastme2]

Thanks for the helpful video. Is there a reason you installed the woven fencing with the drip bends in the up direction? I understand they are supposed to point down to allow water to drip off. Am I misinformed?

[@FarmCraft101]

The field fence has narrower rows on the bottom to stop the smaller critters and they get wider as you go up. There's really only one way to install it, the bottom goes on the...bottom ;-) What you are calling drip bends I always thought were tension bends, making the fence act as a spring when it is stretched. But there's always more to learn... Thanks for watching!

[@mike1968442]

I never seen round 4x4s. What wood is being used here?

[@FarmCraft101]

Fence posts from a farm supply store. It's treated pine.

[@ricklarouche4105]

What, no gallows humor for Mother-in-Law?

[@TheVictorOfTheDIY]

What do those post cost?

[@FarmCraft101]

I think they were around $4 apiece.

[@PCPaiNful]

Man I'd love to find these at $4ea. Cheapest locally is $10

[@ciaranconeely8579]

👍👍👍.

When you are giving the instructions at 5:56 you should also "point out" (pun unintended) that it makes a difference which way you rotate the barbed staple. Looking at your staple (and the one in my hand), you should rotate them clockwise about 15 to 20 degrees from vertical. Your pullout strength will be 40% stronger than if you rotate it counterclockwise. This can be found on "Fences for the Farm," UGA Extension Service, 1980 publication, page 14, Figure 16b. "This will result in the desired direction of staple penetration (Figure 16c) and a staple that has 40 percent more resistance to withdrawal than staples rotated the wrong way." extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=C774 My staples are the same as the Bekaert Benzial coated 8 ga double barbed staples that Tractor Supply sells in 8 lb blue and white resealable tubs. I found mine cheaper at a True Value, but my local True Value is gargantuan. ($16 or $17 versus $20). Unfortunately, I have never found barbed staples in bulk bins... you have to buy them in the tubs around here. In any case, when you look at the staple and hold it like a lucky horseshoe, the right leg has the cut face toward you. Yours, too. For those with the opposite leg cut, you turn the staple counter-clockwise. Your other mistake: the gate is too small for a tractor. You and I both know that someday, that garden will look like a train wreck. It will be easiest to fix with a tractor, a box blade, and about 20 minutes of fun. Let me know if I am right in about .... oh, say... 4 to 7 years.

[@uruiamnot]

6:36 is *WRONG* 8:17 is *CORRECT*

[@FarmCraft101]

I had never heard of the direction of rotation making a difference. Good tip. I can tell you though, that I've never had any of my barbed staples come out, so I'm not sure how crucial that is. Might depend on the quality of the staple and/or the posts. Thanks for watching.

[@uruiamnot]

I know, but someone has studied fencing as a science. It's hilarious and quaint and crazy all at the same time. By the way, you seem to otherwise follow most of the recommendations on that source document, almost like you had read it.

[@markgames2679]

i like to know what your girl is doing ....its like she is digging to baring the fence?

[@FarmCraft101]

Hey! Quit lookin' at my woman! Just kidding. She is planting beans that will climb the fence.
