Field Fencing -- Creating Infrastructure

Today Danny is replacing our 5 strand barb wire with woven wire fencing. Time to add to the infrastructure. Too many stray dogs and wild animals are coming onto the property. Good fences make good neighbors.

My mother told me to" buy at least five acres, put in corner post while the survey markers are still there. Put up hog tight fencing to keep my animalls in and stray animals and wandering people out. Build your house right in the middle so people can't snoop into your business." Still good advice.

[@died4us590]

I respect the fact that you put a fence up instead of either killing the dog, or fighting with the neighbors. Sometimes we do what we feel is right by the Lord, and forgiving your neighbor is part of the plan. Animal control, if you still have one, or the police, should deal with the dog. God bless.

[@TheBowdoc1]

Just purchased a piece of property. About to start fencing it. This video helped a lot. Thank you and sorry for your neighbor issues.

[@samfinn8397]

Great job. Looks real nice ... and you handled the neighbor problem well. Hope your neighbor comes to realize what a good neighbor he has! May God bless and guide all concerned.

[@bumblebee7922]

Wow...... learned something new today! Never knew how to do fencing before. What a beautiful, perfect job! SO interesting!!! (I'm a faithful viewer of THIS OLD HOUSE and LOVE learning new things...) LOVE to you and Wanda!

[@tennesseegirl1215]

I remember my Dad stretched fence this way, a good memory. Sorry you had to be put to trouble, people are not good neighbor minded folks anymore, shameful how times are changing. You guys did an awesome jobs, blessings to you for taking the high road

[@GregVasquez777]

We live and an un-incorporated town and man do we have lots of strays. Feral cats to. But none of us want to incorporate because we get away with a lot. he he.. So far not to many issues with dogs. A few get shot here and there. Your a good man for going the route you're going. Blessed are the peacemakers! take care

[@johnminor2496]

I have to replace my fence. I really appreciate this fine instructional video. GOD bless you and your family.

[@bevpirt9930]

Beautiful fence. We also put up fencing to keep out aggressive neighbor dogs, but went with cattle panels - easiest at the time....had no clue what we were doing, but it is keeping out other dogs, and keeping our animals in....

[@poodledaddles1091]

Extra work that you didn't need. thanks for sharing the fence job.

[@MyLooneyBin]

your fence videos have really helped me out. No special tools. thank you

[@hollynla]

Danny, we are getting down to 22 degrees tonight with sleet & snow in northern Arkansas. We were in the 20's a few nights ago also. We've had only a few days yet to feel spring-like. I've been paying attention to you about the GSM. This is really happening. Btw, the fence looks great.

[@mywoolmitten]

Excellent fencing video ;) Sure brought back a lot of (good) memories of stringing fence with my Dad and brothers. My Dad also just would not tolerate a sagging fence! Thank you for sharing

[@QLH.U2bbers]

It is sad that the dog situation appears to have worsened since I was there. :( A homesteader's work is never finished, but care when doing a job certainly looks good! Quality work there. :) Hey, miss the two of you!

[@saddleridge4364]

going to be putting up some permanent fence on an expanded garden this year, and extending my chicken run as well, so I will shortly be joining you in fence building. VERY nice job Danny! And Wanda is ever the good helper. :)

[@chrisis9030]

Excellent job!

[@Cherie5353]

I’m having the same problem with the dogs on my property. I am also having problems with the neighbors coming on my property at will. I have had enough! Time for fences and posted/no trespassing signs.

[@BackwoodsRaised]

Hey Mr Danny I hate that these dogs are giving you so much problems. I’ve heard you talk about them a few times now. Man that is a nice looking fence. Great job. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and god bless.

[@Christodophilus]

Lovely job at fencing. It looks so easy to do, in a short video. But in reality, it probably took several weeks to organise, to get to this point! I'm sorry about your neighbour's dogs. For the most part, we have wonderful neighbours. Even when their animals get out and cause damage, they personally make amends, so their neighbours aren't out of pocket. It's always that one person, who moves to the area however, who thinks wide open spaces means their animals are free to roam wherever they want. I feel your pain. While a bullet might be swift, it also creates tensions in a neighbourhood. The effected parties, start to think payback and then everyone's animals are on the line. I almost ate a poisonous bait as a toddler, that was thrown into our yard, to kill our dog. A particular person in the neighbourhood, decided they would personally sort out the barking dogs, by killing all of them in the neighbourhood. Our dog died and several others. If my mother didn't see me, with a strange piece of bread in my hand, I could have died too. So I understand why you may wish to take responsibility for protecting your animals, rather than creating a feeling of hostility and nervousness in the neighbourhood. It's a shame, not everyone feels the same responsibility is owed their neighbours.

[@piahess9738]

That sturdy fencing will keep out the roaming dogs,and other predators.Really nice job.Some folks just have no manners.Be well you all.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.........

[@lennygriffin4464]

Nice job, Thank you for the information.

[@Finchersfarmstead]

Your property looks so nice and clean wow

[@PlanetMojo]

We had a new neighbor that is not even connected to our land that came to the door and asked if the no trespassing sign down in the hollow behind our house was ours. He then mentioned one of the tree stands in the center of our property! He said he was "scouting around' looking for turkey hunting places -- on our land. It's the city folks who buy a little vacation property and believe all of the land around them is available for their use that are the biggest problem around us.

[@annettecrabtree3927]

I will never look at fencing the same way again. Thanks for your tutorial.

[@lindabranch8294]

Thank you for this video, those clips just frustrated me so much yesterday. Gonna give it another try this morning. The one I tried last evening just gave up and purchased some wire they were inside my caged garden. Will be installing cattle panels today hopefully this will work since I have more room to move around.

[@treetop5752]

our great Pyrenees collects the neighbors chickens as well as ours and puts them back INSIDE THEIR COOP

[@thelazyj8658]

You’re a Christian Gentleman, sir, that fence is more than just pretty to look at, and strong for its’ purpose, it speaks volumes of yourself and Mrs. Wanda just doing the right thing no matter the personal cost. Refreshing to see, I will long remember this lesson on - “ the testimony of a fence.” Sincerely, JJ

i have one of those neighbors too!they even told me "we live in the country,and we can do anything we want out here " lol...my dog has never been on one of my neighbors propertys.

[@tracischeelk29]

Yes, we country people can shoot the dogs coming or attempting to come on our property too. It's amazing to me how many crude and rude people there are. Even constantly barking dogs, invading your neighbors air space. How anyone can feel comfortable being disrespectful to their neighbors, much less put their homes at risk or interfere w/quality of life for those around them is beyond me.

[@andrewwheeler6550]

@@tracischeelk29 Haha, yeah, god bless texas. You're allowed to shoot any animal that comes onto your property and causes issues of any kind. This is a good retort when it comes to "your rights".

[@ozarkman6526]

My neighbor said the same thing and my reply was "Exactly like shoot trespassing dogs and bury them with my backhoe for fertilizer." I'm not here to be buddies with people that don't recognize property ownership and the rights that come with it. If you give a neighbor like that an inch he'll take a mile from you and it will never stop.

[@southerntexashomestead5028]

Thanks again for the video and sharing your experience. I have the same problem with the neighbor's dogs. I am doing the same things you are doing to protect my investment. God bless .

Thank you, very insightful.

Paint you up some tin cans or make some tin covers to put over the top of your posts, before you cover put something on top of the post like oil or something to prevent bugs from making nests under the tin, just a suggestion :-)

I don’t understand why he couldn’t flip the roll around where he wanted to start originally to unroll it since it doesn’t have a top or bottom.

[@aldomoraigne3403]

the spacing is tighter on the bottom so the roll has to go one way.

[@laurieasmus9998]

Putting in fences looks like lots of work! I will be learning this skill, on a small scale this year. Thx for sharing your project. Sorry neighbors dogs are forcing your hand to do new fencing....

[@ladycat661]

What a shame I was always taught that if your dog was out of yard and bothering the other neighbors animals it is time to take care of it and put it up ,this day and time people has lost respect and manners and real nice fence .God Bless

[@greatdanerescuemom1]

it isnt the dogs fault, it is the owners. i have a 6 foot tall fenced yard, and got it only for my dogs so they stay safe. its people who dont take the responsibility to make sure their dogs are trained and kept home. kinda like the way the world is, it is becasue of people not the animals...

The problem we have is people dumping animals, mostly cats and dogs. Then they chase after out animals because their hungry and then we have to dispose of them. It's sad, it's not the animals fault, but I can't let them kill all my animals.

[@wannabesomethingmore]

My husband and I are in the process of clearing up old fencing on our some of our 20 boundary lines on our 20 acres to put up new fencing as well because of the neighbors and their dogs. Had a neighbors pitbull come on our property and killed one of our 5 year old Nigerian Dwarf Bucks a couple of months ago. This dehorned goat was in it's fenced in yard on our property and yet it was pulled through the cattle fence by this dog and had it's throat and faced ripped apart. I love dogs and don't want to have to kill someone else's pet, HOWEVER we have to protect our livestock and family. For people who live in the country, don't think your dog has the right to roam without harm. If you love your dog, keep it on your property where it is safe from harm. We have the right to end your dogs life when they come on our property.

[@tracischeelk29]

That is a HORRIFIC story. I'm hoping you don't have young children, only because it would make it even more unbearable. I hope the dog lost its' life. How DARE the owners let their pitbull run loose. Really, any dog with few exceptions - trained to stay where they belong with no chance of harming, destroying, or entering other's property. I'm very sorry that happened to your goat. What did the neighbor say and do? I can imagine. I've met plenty of disrespectful and outright rude and mean owners of dogs, especially the untrained defense dogs, barking incesantly. There are MANY people on the internet and youtube that talk about the measures they have to go through to put an end to loose and dangerous dogs and for barking dogs. It's a HUGE problem. I wonder what their parents were like. My father would reach down from heaven if I did that to my neighbors.

[@calamaridog]

In the state of Virginia, the law says that the Sheriff MUST kill any dog in the act of killing livestock.

You're a much better neighbor than your dog neighbor deserves. We all know there MUCH cheaper ways to deal with uncontrolled dogs.

[@mattarmstrong2952]

[@judithbrown7319]

Your fence looks really nice, but it needs a strand of barb wire along the top to finish it IMO!!!! I had horses for years, and they would sit on woven wire to scratch their butts so had to run barb wire along the middles, and on top to keep them from laying on the top! LOL
