How to Use Steel Posts to Make an End Assembly FenceStay Kit Review

[@Gravattack]

Mate I am really enjoying your vids and learning a load, thanks. Can I ask what length Star picket driver you have? You scared the bejeezuz out of me with your farmhand story, so I have been looking for a long one ever since with no luck. Thanks again for all the tips

[@Gravattack]

@@FarmLearningTim I have watched ever one of your vids, love em. Gallagher make a 1200 which ive already ordered after measuring the fence. I also grabbed a crinker and DeBarber based on your recommendations. Do you know how to make the Angled fence bracing? if so I'd love to see a vid on that, seems to be whats mostly used around here and it saves a post. Thanks again regardless, your videos have been an incredible help

[@Gravattack]

Forgot to say I am really happy the young bloke got his functionality back. You also stopped me using grippers too, so thanks again!

[@stevep6160]

Tim as someone who has just bought a bare hundred acres six months ago, there's lots of work ahead of me, but your video's are going to make it safer, more economical, effective, less frustrating and a whole lot more fun thanks to your efforts in making these video's. All I need is somewhere to live on my acres and a Hilux!.

[@Thelivewire64]

I just installed 2.4 m HD Fencestay posts for 4m gate on Alpaca fence (1.5m fence height) in hard rocky ground in Gippsland. I'm impressed by how easily they were driven in using 20Kg post slammer.

[@treesplease4053]

My eyes have been firmly opened by this. I've been finished with digging in end assemblies, i see a way forward

[@jamesarcher2769]

You’re a genius Steve Casamento - great video Tim. All your tips and videos have helped a lot.

[@snells-window]

A very simple and effective solution. My only knowledge of fencing comes from your channel Tim, but this looks to be a winning product.

[@jillbarnes4847]

Very impressive & practical. Looking at your wire winder to make it versatile (for another video you shared of unwinding a roll of dripper hose) cut off the four uprights on your wire winder and weld them onto four short sleeves that have a nut and threaded wing bolt for locking. That allows the internal diameter to be altered for what ever roll you're unwinding. Years ago I bought one from Steer Engineering. So practical

[@elwood212]

Beautiful product. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on yr channel all day. What are your thoughts on the gate taking the weight of a timber finish panel for a permanent fence and gate Tim ? Good to hear yr web site covers product saves us the run around.👍🇦🇺 Cheers Tim, love yr channel.

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Great informative video and I’ll be looking into this product because it will help on my homestead

[@rossholmes178]

At 1:35 ... another good reason for NOT running wire THROUGH holes in star pickets.

[@mitchmcbride6053]

What a top idea Tim thanks for that soo much easier for temp fence

[@DJSAS]

Good on ya Tim. Hope your safe.

[@tammoilliet8683]

You should really check out the Timeless tee posts. Made in the US, all PVC UV resistance and ideal for electric fence.

[@horndog7357]

They should have bolt on bottom plates 4 the side movement

[@QuentinCarter1975]

Great idea, simple yet effective, and at that price, hard to see why you'd bother making a similar style/sized arrangement.

[@jamesrowlands8971]

You've convinced me.

[@virgilfisher1869]

I was introduced to the Hilux when I served in Afghanistan, best truck ever. Unfortunately us Zeppos can't get them this side of the pond.

That is so handy, it should take off.

[@peterlawrence738]

Eye protection when drilling in those screws!

[@davidwollage8112]

Looks like it could save a great deal of time

[@simoncampbell5802]

Now that is cool. With the gal pipe it could be a permanent fence I reckon. How would you remove the round pipes from the ground in a temporary situation? Cheers

[@bedeorr9471]

If you’re dad doesn’t drive a hilux you have two mum’s. Haha

😂

[@WarwickMerry]

Hey Tim. Thanks for this. Just FYI. I ordered 3 of them!

[@CPMJunkRemoval]

Love your videos brother! Free Terra Australis!

[@horndog7357]

Gidday from NZ.have you fellas got that set up 4 post end assembly

[@alphabravo3304]

If the pipes as uprights were concreted in, plus using these products, the gate would be fine.

[@nimjay90]

Interesting that the diagonal rod is opposite to that of one on a normal end post assembly. It's running with the direction of strain.

[@nimjay90]

@@FarmLearningTim spot on mate. My thoughts exactly.

[@theycallmebacon5692]

I bet that would probably make a pretty good corner for what we yanks call a t post

[@susanneandmingus]

Are FenceStay end assemblies available in the US? If not, are they coming soon? My horses and I need this!

[@cyclingzero2353]

Would love to try these but they just cost too much Standard H is about $110 or Big Kopper + Floating End $145ish vs $208 for the HD + Postage

[@bretdavisdmd]

Hey Tim, I always thought the diagonal brace (wire) was down and away from the direction of pull. I don't get it.

[@bretdavisdmd]

never mind. You're pulling from the farthest post...not the next one out.

[@allanwatt6635]

could a type of lynch pin be used instead of nuts and bolts

[@Scifi949]

Nice one Tim

[@marcelforget89]

Nice to See Michael Scott has moved on from Dunder Mifflin and acquired a practical set of skills. Jokes aside... this is a great channel..

[@braddeicide]

So how do you get it out later if your application is temporary? Borrow someone's Nissan Patrol? ;)

[@wheatsheaffarming2146]

Never late in a 2.8

[@peterchapman4808]

Hi Tim, I appreciate the video was made a couple of years ago, but do you know if this kit works as a vineyard end assembly?

[@FarmLearningTim]

I made a video about a trellis version here kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHXShJ94pKmeock

[@peterchapman4808]

@@FarmLearningTim Thanks, will check it out. We are looking for a very cost effective way to make our vineyard end assemblies and these are of interest.

[@Niconeill2]

Great video Tim! Just a question, how many meters between posts for that wire mesh? Thank you!

[@FarmLearningTim]

I usually go 4 mate.

[@juliamartin6809]

M8 that's great....How much per kit ?

[@annettehewitson6426]

Take this away when you go on a holiday,if you get bogged no trees set assembly up and winch away.

[@campcreekhill8933]

HiLux….. poor mans cruiser😂😂😂, I actually like the HiLux but in the past found the cab too squishy

[@FarmLearningTim]

With fuel prices the way they are now it’s “Landcruiser - poor mans bankruptcy” I’m afraid! Apparently the new ones are much squishier than mine. It’s only done half a million kilometres so I’ll be hanging on to it for another ten years or so I reckon.

[@maxmeranda]

I drive a Hilux and I still wish I did!

[@geoffeverist4264]

Tim ,great videos . I can’t seem to bring fencestay up on the internet , could you tag me to their web site

[@jowernyjowska705]

Very interesting! Question though, is there a way to make a corner using this system? I dont see how two braces could go on the one singular picket/post?

[@CrazyWhiteVanDriver]

Stagger them..

[@billroks313]

Gday Tim🙂🤙🏾

[@jonjamieson5885]

I's there a reason why the steel box assembly is opposite to a timber assembly.?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Small advantage for the steel being that way as it can rely on compression tension in the stay. The diagonal stay in timber only works under tension of course

[@jstoecker62]

Gday Tim, this video looks great and I like the kit, I would like to ask a question , in a previous video you had made on building a box end assembly back in 2018 you mentioned the top rail should be longer then the end post are high does that apply with this End Assembly FenceStay Kit ?

[@julieanderson454]

Are these asemblies available in Queensland ?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Get onto Steve from trigger. Link on my website timthompson.ag

[@davidfothergill128]

G'day Tim. just wondering if you could help us with knowing what is a fair price p/m for a goat fence using ring lock and gal star pickets. And including end posts. It seems to very so much from place to place, as one place will say one thickness and next place says something different. Can you please assist us in anyway of getting the correct supplies and a fair price?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Hi mate. I have a policy of never getting involved in discussions about commercial fencing jobs or giving opinions on contractors work. I’m happy for you to use my fencing calculator to work out material needs .... check out my fence planning video for the link.

[@davidfothergill128]

@@FarmLearningTim God sorry mate. Silly question and worded wrong. My wife and I will be doing the fence ourselves I was trying to figure out a price per meter for all materials needed. I will look at the link and go from there. Sorry again and thanks for ALL the helpful videos you post.

[@FarmLearningTim]

@@davidfothergill128 no need to apologise. Email me if you get stuck and can’t find the calculator

[@wyomingpark]

why couldn't you use this as a permanent fixture?

[@FarmLearningTim]

I Had it up for two years no problem. There are just other, stronger options (such as the FS2000 in the fencestay range). The FS1000 is ideal as a mobile, flexible, temporary end assembly option.

[@mitchmcbride6053]

What’s the new web page mate would love to have a look

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Tim Thompson legend mate thanks heaps love this channel really it’s awesome for someone that’s going to buy some land your tips are invaluable they really are if I come down to Melbourne mate I’ll try and get in touch I’ll come and give you a hand on stuff your knowledge is really awesome

[@peter28619]

sorry mate but you put the gate on the wrong post..that gate wont open on the pipe without having to lift and walk..😉

[@FarmLearningTim]

That’s weird mate cause it’s working fine 😂

[@bushratbeachbum]

Winch power is irrelevant if you're driving with the winch in lock. Stalling the ute doesn't really show much either. Im not against the system, just the biased advertising. It was wobbly as as the end, not a good look. Just show the system, don't make up tests that ruin the systems respectability and then try to onsell the future system because you've shown the current ones failures. Not a great view of a decent system.

[@1koshari]

yes and no, the ute test was obviously a gimmick and light hearted at that, tims running road tires so they woull brake traction a hell of a lot sooner than say some muddies. i think anyone who has ever used a winch knows that if he put the ute in park and hand brake on then used the winch motor it would have pulled the assembly well and truly out of the ground,

[@MrMburrough]

Temporary and low strain. they don't hold long term.

[@FarmLearningTim]

Yes. Temporary. Although that exact fence was up for 3 years keeping the sheep in. Never lost tension or failed and it was in clay soil. I did use long steelies though
