How to build a farm fence on a slope[Tutorial] Tips and tricks

So I am a first generation farmer and no one has shown me how to build a fence or care for animals but I am not afraid to start and find out and you shouldn't be either. I did my research and I then tried it for my self so now I would like to show you how easy it is to install a farm fence on a slop. I am no professional by any means and if you have any suggestion of how I should have done it better or easier please comment below because all our subscribers and myself would appreciate more and more free knowledge. Since we feel our fence came out really good(and I hope you agree, give it a like) we wanted to share what we learned. Though at first I struggled, in the end it is really rewarding when you get to see the finished project especially if you get to drive along side it everyday. Take pride in what you do neighbors and get out there and have some fun!

VERY good information. Going to start my fence in two weeks.

[@kellyyoung5298]

I'm doing my own fence and I just didn't know what to do about my slope so I haven't even started. BUT....I will be starting this week thanks to you!!

[@GorgyPorgy65]

It looks SUPERB...you should be so proud of that fence !

[@DaveIsbell]

Thank you for taking the time to produce the video. Really well done!

Thanks for the video and explanation! This is exactly what I was trying to figure out.

[@El.Stumpy]

Not a problem!! Glad I could help 😁

Oracle! Great job brother 👏 Thank you! Keep up the videos

[@eamonlavery5924]

Love this video .. I recently moved a 6 foot fence and could have paid someone to do it. But I have learned so much from doing it myself and will be able to look at it in years to come and say I did that

[@brutismaximus1]

Awesome job bro! Starting my fence this weekend and your vid popped up just in time. Kia kaha from New Zealand.

Spacer board. Nice.

[@deanbarr5740]

That says it all. "Take pride". You done a great job. I remember my dad built a wooden fence outta yellow poplar ruff cut lumber. I'm here to tell you that fence stood the test of time. Your work was very neat and orderly. Are you going to treat it or paint it to preserve the wood. When i was a kid 45 years ago my dad just white washed his every summer.

[@roderickwhite7994]

Very cool! I think I'm ready to tackle a fence for my yard 🤔 ✊🏾

[@thelouiebrand]

I had a 500’ fence built. The guys used no strings or levels. It blows my mind that they got it all straight and level to the (eye at least). Pros! Ps. I’m doing all the rest of my own fencing and I have a hillside home. It’s tough! I use a 16’ board to set my bottom boards on to follow the land. Good job!

[@michaelandrews4783]

Nice job !

Nice job Brother

Thank you! 👍🏽

[@richardpawlak3732]

Hey. Great job. How did you cut the top of the posts? With a chain saw? A skill saw? Something else?

[@everlobos9666]

Muy bien

[@randy4118]

can you explain how you install the pickets after dojng your slope and rails do you place them on level with the top and a maintain set space below

[@anthonysilva5015]

Great content and presentation.

[@nikolasververis7495]

Looks awesome man!! I been stressing a little on how to deal with my slope when I do mine and you killed it. I do have a couple questions. Looks like you used home milled wood which is what I’m doing I’m milling out my own posts and 1x6s with my sawmill, what did you use for treatment on the bottom of posts? Oil and diesel? And also what size board did you use for your spacer board between the planks. I love the way yours looks and want to do it about the same.

[@nikolasververis7495]

@@El.Stumpy Much appreciated!! Thanks again for a great well organized video.

[@johnwpowell]

What did you treat/paint the posts with?

[@adolphsalmeron8838]

What did you put on the bottom of your post is that paint or what is that and also what's the distance between your Poles

[@bamagym]

Did you have to cut the boards at an angle to butt them end to end?

[@brianyount2629]

Nice job. 3 board 13inch spacing? Looks real good.

So, I missed some details, what kind of boards? Will cedar boards work? How far in did you put the posts? Are you going to stain this to preserve the wood?

Why do folks break boards on same post as fence has no strength when doing this. Just saying

[@Formerlywarmer]

Plumb

[@Bezhig]

@@El.Stumpy I think the commenter is saying vertical posts should be "plumb" and your fence boards should be "level". Good video though :) You've earned a subscriber.

[@Formerlywarmer]

not just a mention of an post standing up Vertical being "level to both sides" is referred to as being Plumb not level. great video and its meant to be a small constructive remark.

[@Formerlywarmer]

now you can hit back at all my grammatical and spelling errors....LOL

[@charleschi843]

Plumb.

[@robertbutler8004]

For one thing your posts are too far apart and your rails where not stagered.All round fail just a waste of money.And the posts are not level they are plumb.

[@El.Stumpy]

Thank you for the feedback! Things to consider in the family farm 2.0!

[@robward601]

This is so wrong!

[@backyardengineer916]

Explain the ‘right’ way then, expert. What are you even doing on this “how-to” video if you already know?😂😂😂

[@duanenichols2703]

Probably a reall nice guy but this farm fence as you call it is all wrong. All those board tails your cutting off would probably add up to a whole board.

[@davidboyle4149]

So now I know what to do! Great video - thanks!!!
