Isaac gives us a detailed explanation of building a hi-tensile corner for 5-wire perimeter fence.

[@Betterwayfarmga]

you are making a difference with this new generation! Keep up the good work. I just hope your internship program is still around when my boys (I have 4) get older. God Bless all of you.

[@bryanblackburn7074]

Greg it's awesome for you to capture some footage of hands on fencing for us to see. I'm sure glad you were able to pickup another intern to help you out this season.

[@ronaldharmon9891]

Welcome to the herd ALEX🤗

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for the video! Your interns come all in very the USA which is pretty cool. I’m sure he is going to learn lots. Are you ready for some more cold weather? I bet some of your snow is melted or gone. I’m hoping to get all my waters done this weekend so it is automatic.

[@taunapowell9651]

Great video. Not the way I do it, but it’s certainly successful for you! Welcome Alex from Wisconsin. We ordered cold weather for you. 😊

[@Tommy-h4b]

Isaac is awesome young man.

[@Getawaymoments]

OMG look at those new gloves on Alex!!! I want to see them in six months!! Meanwhile, Issac bare handing it. 😂

[@scottquenstedt1]

Good looking fence. I used the insulated ratchet strainers from powerflex on a 6 strand last week. It’s a good product.

[@riverflyswatter]

Gregg ,Isaac is right the stray current can go through the post via the moisture in the treated post. When the post dries up from the sun, that should dissipate.

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ great episodes ❤ thank you 🙏 for sharing again ❤❤

[@Tommy-h4b]

Thank you very much for the video sir

[@rharrell1]

Beautiful fence work. Plastic can sometimes leak current. Since the summers are rather warm here where I am at porcelain insulators seem to work better with the UV rays without breaking down. Also they can stand the cold better than ceramic which can sometimes crack due to stress or cold.

[@Marjan-1310]

Easy when you know how. Isaac can run a clinic on building a fence. Welcome Alex!

[@michaelmoran6370]

Great video , I picked up a couple tricks. Do have questions on why u do some things, I was always told 2 crimps at termination points, is this not necessary? Why not try knots instead of crimping? Also do you feel the U insulators are better than insulation tubes for terminating hot wire?

[@rightaway8551]

Can you please tell me where to get a jacket like Isaac is wearing? Very cool. Looks very durable. Thank you.

[@EricGriffin49]

Hi Greg, I’m wondering what your reasoning is for using wood posts for corner braces as opposed to the Timeless Fence H braces? Is it cost? Are there other reasons as well? Thank-you for the great videos, always enjoy.

[@patrickmcginnis6898]

I was wondering the same thing. Or the fiberglass sucker rods you liked at one time

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

@patrickmcginnis6898 we use both of them if needed.

[@patrickmcginnis6898]

​@@gregjudyregenerativerancherappreciate that Greg. I think we are curious to better understand which applications dictate which use. Or is it just a cost/availability thing?

[@EricGriffin49]

@@patrickmcginnis6898 yes, very curious. I don’t think Greg does things by accident:) I’ve seen a heck of a lot more treated post corners and they look awesome. I need to do pasture fencing this year and I can’t make up my mind whether to go treated post or Timeless corners…

[@patrickmcginnis6898]

​@@EricGriffin49if cost is a factor (and it usually is), the treated posts will be much less expensive than the timeless. I have the Timeless traditional H and A frames here and I like the A frames better. I like the look of the treated posts, but have concerns about the conductivity. I would like to try the fiberglass rods, but haven't been able to locate any in my area. I think Greg has some (fiberglass), so I'm surprised he isn't using them (if he does).

[@thatguy2105]

I used gripples on the last fence I put up. I don't have any spring tensioners. Am I going to run into problems? The fence is two years old now, and doing pretty good.

[@taunapowell9651]

i rarely use anything except Gripples these past 10 years. One or two out maybe a thousand will fail. However, i'm not building perimeter fence with hi-tensile.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

I have had nothing but failures with Gripples. The times that I have found a hi tensile wire laying on the ground, it was always a gripple that failed. I have replaced all of them with Jacob’s tensioners.

[@BetweenTheCricksFarm]

where did you get that short crimp tool?

[@danny.d4]

Greg, is the 3 hots and 2 grounded wires a better system than all 5 hot?

[@wadepatton2433]

Greg has run grounds in his fences for a long time and I'm going to do the same. Some of what I know about it: A ground in the fencing will zap (with authority) any critters jumping through or climbing on the wires. An all-hot system will not. It's also allows for adding another ground rod anywhere along the system. I have a damp area and will add a ground rod there for better performance when we're in drought (low soil conductivity).

[@jmhamilton87]

Have you always done a spring on each wire? Wondering what the reason is for that?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

When a tree falls on it or a deer hits it at full speed, it allows the wire some stretch instead of breaking. Also in the winter, your wire constricts and the springs take up the excess tightening.

[@mikejohnston2364]

Greg - why did you run the wire on the outside of the brace post instead of the inside or animal side of the post?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Asthetics

[@alstonbetts4646]

What brand crimping tool do yall use?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Knipex

@ thanks!

[@alstonbetts4646]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Hey Greg, do those work for the open crimps as well? I really appreciate it. Your channel has been so helpful for me!!!! Cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate these videos

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

@alstonbetts4646 yes they work for both crimps, use the larger hole for the open end crimps

[@ResurrectionProphet]

is that 16 gauge wire? It sure doesn't look like 12.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Yes it is 12 gauge wire. Never use 16 gauge

[@ResurrectionProphet]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancherthanks. i only ask because it looks like he's twisting that stuff with his hands like it's 16. Young man has some strong hands. I don't remember being able to move 12 gauge like that. 😂

Isaac is a very strong one man!!
