How to Stretch a Fence with a Come Along

Danny shows how to stretch a fence with a come-along because the fence is not clean and he can't pull it with the tractor. You can hook the come-along to a tree or any vehicle. Easy way when there isn't room for the tractor to line up with the fence.

Come along is a MUST HAVE tool for a homestead. I've used the same method to remove small trees, pulling then down and cutting the roots.

[@jakes.1199]

You know... for old guy, with various ailments.... you get more work done than most young healthy people. Great job.

[@russsherwood5978]

DANNY, wish more people would take the time to do it right then just just throw it up and call it good enough,, love the clean fence rows,, have a blessed and safe day

[@glenokla2588]

Great job Danny! No better way to stretch a fence than with come alongs. Even had to use them a time or two to help deliver a calf.

[@haroldbevins393]

I always used a come-a-long, sometimes hooked to a truck and sometimes to another tree.. Never had a tractor then, but it works regardless.. Thanks for the fond (now) memories to day Danny..

[@HearthandDome]

Tractors are SO versatile! But they can’t do everything! 😉 Things are looking SO GOOD! Glad to see so many new accomplishments there. Great video! 😊

[@ddurrett519]

Excellent video

[@kathryngagne5813]

Thanks for the lesson! Hopefully we will be able to put it to good use this Summer. :)

[@Raul28153]

Get yourself a couple lengths of 3/8" thick angle iron, IT's not as nice as interlocking U channel, but you won't have to fab anything. Armed with that you can really tension your fencing

[@7ceasers]

Excellent video. Clearly shows every step. Consice to the point.

[@adamgipson6151]

Great video. My father in law was from Brooklyn, MS. I've been through Wiggns several times myself. Either work or visiting.

[@michaellyman6238]

You're doing an awesome job

[@gillenwaterfarmwv9453]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@colleenrodamer6230]

Way smart idea on how to get the fence tightened up

[@sfetterly6200]

The place is really shaping up. Have a great Sabbath!!! Shabbat Shalom

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

s fetterly Shalom my friend

[@bsofar1675]

Thanks for sharing different methods.

[@trevorolearain3394]

Thanks you for this

[@charmainemontgomery582]

You’re very resourceful.

[@rexbeauregard9657]

Awesome Job!

[@samfinn8397]

That is one nice fence!

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

Great job

[@bradvaughan4524]

I’ve done that many times but we usually dig a hole under the 2x4s when we get it tight and let them drop into the hole to keep maximum tension on the wire.

[@lodprice2343]

Good job!

[@HiddenMeadowFarm]

I use this same method to tighten the new fence I’m putting up.

[@knowinghistruth7227]

Hey Deep South! Your videos are very informative. I read in a comment that your T post are 15’ apart. Would this work on a slope and for a goat fence that has 4”x4” squares?

[@CedarCreekHomestead]

Great Video God Bless!

[@edieboudreau9637]

Nice.

[@Hj61S827]

Why was the fence on the inside of the t posts but outside of the corner posts? Which side will the animals be? Inside that 90 or outside where the cameraman and tractor were? Thanks!

[@essemsween818]

That's really interesting Danny. Those old folks were no slouches when it came to inventing something to make their work a little easier were they?

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Instead of easing off tension to get that end of the fence lower, I would've tried digging in the dirt a couple of inches to lower the 2x4s.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

It's cominalong lol 😉😂

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Finished and goats are in there. Video tomorrow. THanks Guys

[@Keiths1234]

I have fencing I have to put up to and I have to make a pig pen for a couple pigs what is the minimum size for that you would put up for pigs thank you for your wisdom and your help God bless you

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Keith S For 2 pigs i would not build less than a 32 x 32. Thanks

[@Keiths1234]

Deep South Homestead thank you very much I'll probably go a little bigger than that

[@kathryngagne5813]

Good Idea! Especially if you can start breeding your own :) It's like chicken math. We have one growing for bacon/pork and two for breeding for the first time. Won't always be able to go and buy piglets.

[@marilyn4888]

How do you move and hook the fence to the Tposts with it being so taught?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It gives just enough to put it where I need it.

[@gerrymarmee3054]

🌺

[@dianebailey6753]

How far apart do you put the T-posts?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Diane Bailey They are 15 ft apart. Thanks

[@marksinger4415]

Looks like you stapled on the corner and kept the fence running without cutting and tying it off. I see where so many recommend tying it off at each corner but I was planning to staple mine and keep it running. Did you have any problems doing yours this way?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I haven't had any problems with mine.

[@marksinger4415]

Thanks!

[@DanielOrfield]

A man can work independently in this world, without depending on another, as long as he has an appliance dolly and a come-along, and the support of a wife.........

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Awesome saying!

[@nathanrittenhouse8489]

Is that cattle fence your putting up?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes, field fencing

[@davidgunter7162]

Danny did you get your tractor fixed

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

david gunter No i traded it in on a larger model The XR 3135. Thanks

[@tomheath967]

Excellent tutorial. How much I owe you?

[@maranda3764]

Seems like there is no place where people are not encroaching on ones privacy.
