My dad and I were building fence years ago with new barb and T posts. Dad said this fence should last your lifetime. I guess I’ve just lived too long I’m 73. I’m rusty and saggy too.

It's cool seeing people work who are good at what they do.

Hi from the UK Josh, absolutely fascinating who would have thought fencing could be so interesting. 👍

[@ronhowe5933]

Fascinating article. I was impressed with their knots, especially the one they called a Figure of Eight, which was actually a more complex knot called a Carrick Bend.

[@littlemogocreek]

Man, how big was your smile at the end of this project? Sitting on the porch knowing how well wrapped up your paddocks were. Awesome. Well done Josh and crew 👍

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

LOL.....Oh...it's not done just yet...I've got the tedious job of tying up the fence wire to the posts...it's a huge chore and a time consuming one!

[@samuelkunta9837]

I love this fencing technique

[@TomTom-by5sx]

Nice is right, very nice. I enjoyed this, I love good information. Thanks, good job...

[@markeholbrook]

I liked this video. I'll never use a fence like this, but I like to see how things are done, I always dreamed of owning a farm, my grandparents owned a 280 acre farm in eastern Kentucky. Some of the land was essentially vertical, and some was vertical. Grandpa answered why he didn't own a tractor " a mule wont fall off a hill". Mules can walk a steeply sloped hillside with no problem. Most of the farm was growing hardwood timber, the rest was hay, and the flat part was tobacco.

[@TheCaliforniareef]

Great job on the informational video. Great job everyone.

[@jacknevitt7384]

Great video! I’ve always wondered how farm fencing was installed and now I have a pretty good understanding.

[@swayback7375]

You said “was installed” lol It WAS and still IS installed way different than this! Normally folks stretch it one wire at a time and secure it one steeple at a time. We always used black locust posts that we grew from a coppice we made. I can’t tell you the fun of stretching with a one man star stretcher and trying to drive a steeple into those hard ass posts… it’s like driving a steeple into stone, while your other hand holds the whole thing tight.

[@trevorbeyma2851]

A great project. I do have a question about the fence in front of your house. Why is the wire on the outside of the post? Where I'm from we put the fence on the inside because of livestock pressure.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

high visibility area...looks better holds up just as well

[@benjamindamon1874]

I just learn something new about a not knot. We would take the Barb off then separate the wires and turn one then the second Turner .

Gold for wire cutting been fencing full time 15 yrs n never seen it cut like that 👍12:36

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bam!

[@jonathankeith2547]

Instead of the ratchet strainers, we use a product in Australia called a Gripple. They are a small aluminium housing about an inch long with mini ratchets inside and you feed both lengths of HT wire through it. There is a tool that you then use to tension the wire through it. On a permanent strain you wrap both ends of the wire just like a conventional ratchet tensioner, for a fence that may need to be tensioned in the future, you leave a 4” tail on one of the wires and it can be strained further if needed

[@vacone1]

Beautiful. Not that you will want to ever sell. That fence will appraise the farm higher to justify the cost also.

[@danmiller4774]

I really like that. Living next to a highway I think that's probably the best way to go those are 10 ft post yet pounding them with a post pounder.

[@centraltexasoutdoors9802]

thanks for the info, always something to learn.

[@brandonrennicker4526]

Love all of your videos Josh. My Wife and I have a 70 acre horse farm In north central OHio. Looking into putting some of this fencing up in the next few years.

[@1d1hamby]

In most places in the UK that have animals they use hedge laying that is a lot of labor cost, but very low material cost, and lasts for generations with moderate maintenance.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Take a close look at those hedges and you'll see a fence in most cases...if the land contains livestock....I agree in the UK there are probably millions of miles of hedge....there's alot of info out there about them...we can't count on hedge to keep our cattle out of the windshield of a neighbors minivan...safety is what this is all about my friend

[@1d1hamby]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer , agreed they put fences up when they stop maintaining the hedge layering. When they see how ineffective and short lived the fences are they always go back to hedges. The art of hedge layering has just about been lost, because it is as much an art as it is skill. It would take an impossible amount of time and effort to have your medium farm done without the skilled labor.

[@mr.darrelltrunnell644]

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Darrel I appreciate ya buddy

[@theycallmebacon5692]

In the long run pipe is cheaper than wood posts as it lasts longer, more durable, and less work. I don't have a big place so I use t posts, each one driven with a pneumatic post driver fed by a pancake air compressor. I wish I had pipe fences.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

tpost cost $9 pipe post $18....10 years you'll be replacing them tpost....80 years ya might replace a pipe post...value my brotha

[@theycallmebacon5692]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer normally $9 for the t posts but I got a gob pile of them when I got this place. I'd much rather have pipe fence but I've got enough to do 12 inch spacing around my place and have some left over to fence the neighbors place. The people that had this place before were mild hoarders. Mason jars, wallpaper, t posts, fence, t p, and pilots of already set concrete. I sold mason jars for $5 a truck load......

[@calebm6862]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer We still have t-posts from 50-70 years ago, not sure why we’d have to replace them. Maybe with nowadays new crap China t-posts but even then 10 years is a bit short?

exactly...the T posts you buy nowadays aren't the T posts of 70 years ago or even 30 years ago...they're chinesium garbage

Holy Smokes Josh! I've only got 440 feet of 8 foot fence to put up around an apple orchard on my farm and I'm freaking out. I talked to Luke and he's gonna hook me up with the Tornado Wire, so a road trip to Worthington IN from mid Michigan is in my future. I just picked up my wood posts today and layout starts on Monday. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it!

WOOOOOO!

[@ajalicea1091]

11:40 when he's talking about bracing that post for making the turn does that include a corner post? Not just a turn.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

He’s right about the scraps. I hit a 2” piece of wire just right with a mower and it cost me $120 to fix that double paned window. It flew over 30 feet. You wouldn’t think a tiny piece of wire could do it, but it did. :/

[@cw5003]

So I learned to tie wire from bouncer Smith he fished Atlantic ocean for 60 years and we used it for toothyfish I'm oddly attracted to this wire twist..... And I just bought a small farm and trying to salvage old fence and restretch it ,,,, possible that i may have to use a rachet strap

[@countrycuts5796]

I would have to say one of the best advantages to metal posts and fencing, is that if a fire ever burns near or through the fence line, you livestock will still be contained, compared to a wood or plastic fence

[@ericgonzales6582]

Cool video guys

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

I have a corner that has been there 20 years. How do you keep livestock from tearing up that brace? If you cant weld you have to hire the job out.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

What ya need to understand is this isn't grandma's chain link fence pipe..it's SS40 and no cow is gonna hurt that brace unless it's rusted off for some reason in 50 years. If ya can't weld...ya ort not be trying to farm right? We should all know how to weld at least enough to get by right?
