How We Run And Stretch Woven Wire Fence

[@MarkCegielski]

Straightforward, Concise, Real World. Good Job.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much Mark!

One of the best videos of many that I've watched before putting up my own fencing. In fact, clearly explained and demonstrated. Creative and enjoyable to watch. Well done sir!

[@tristaperkins7112]

I don't know how KZbin knows to show me what I need, even before I tell it what I am looking for! I have literally never seen your channel until this video which I just happened upon about an hour away from heading to TSC to purchase a fence stretcher to rerun woven fencing for the first time. Subscribed and will be going back through your videos this weekend. Thanks guys!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a million!

[@alwaysSparkle1776]

Great tip with the back to back T post.....Solved my problem and didn't cost me anything....

[@grimsonforce7504]

Glad you uploaded this, people forget not everyone has access to a bucket loader tractor.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Most of us in this space have more time than money.

Watching this again after a year has passed. Still haven’t finished the fence because the price keeps rising. But I have the corner posts in the ground, concreted in and now doing the cross bracing. I had forgotten some of the tips you provided. Notching the vertical posts for the cross braces is a big one because I can’t hold both ends up to level them. Then I’m drilling a hole through and hammering rebar in to keep them in place. On both sides of the driveway, I‘ve made grapevine trellises out of the 6’ tall fence posts. The Hügelkultur mound is just south of the fence, with a walkway between for planting and harvesting. Stacking functions as you have mentioned in another video. Gate is going up next.

You guys are great! My family (including the little ones) loves the inside look at your homestead and the how-to’s. But probably more than that, we love how your family seems “whole.” We need more of that these days. You guys are quite a blessing altogether. And, we need to see a blooper reel. Love you guys.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a million for that kind of response!

[@derrick_builds]

Go ahead and make a clamp on board system. It will save you so much time and make a better install. Thanks for making these videos.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I love this video. I have a tractor but no come along and wondered how I could work it so I could tighten my fence with the tractor. I try not to splice fencing and just to end on a post of corner post but now I may be able to splice! Living alone and not so young anymore I have to figure ways to do things on my own. You have such good ideas and instructions!!!!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks so much and best of luck on your fencing!

[@TheRainHarvester]

Be sure to put oil on the threads so rust doesn't prevent you from tightening/loosening later. My wheel barrel bolts rusted by the time I had to replace the handles...had to cut them off!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Good idea!

[@andychapman5059]

Well... Billy... that settles it. You’re my new favorite KZbin permaculturist! You had my attention at “journeyman electrician”, but won me over with that IBEW bug. I should have known with that attention to knots! I also am a JW out of Local 317 in Huntington, WV and a beginner homesteader. As a young adult I walked away from farming, but I’m back. But I just wanted to write and say keep up the good work, brother! You’ve got a die hard follower here!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a million brother! You’re the first IBEW brother to reach out.

[@mojavebohemian814]

Thank you. I watched lots of fence vids, failed miserably. What was the little blue angled tool you used?

[@mellyg8872]

I made a fence post stretcher last year so I could do it myself with the help of the truck. But I like this too! Poor Michelle bahahaha! Keep these know how videos coming Billy!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Right on!

[@Skashoon]

I have to do this by myself. Wish I knew how to make videos, it oughta be comical. I should be able to do it with a single roll. 3 sides are already in place. Just need to make 2 turns. Along the road in front, along the driveway, insert gate, then connect to the other side. Have 2-3 holes to mend on the sides, too. No way the post holes can be dug by hand due to gravel and clay. The landlord’s tractor can drill those. This video is a tremendous help to keep me from looking like a complete city slicker.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Do you have the right attitude my friend.

[@Skashoon]

Apologies for the double post. I deleted one. YT says error posting comment, then proceeds to post it anyway. Sheesh!

[@mysapphiremist]

Thank you so much for these teaching videos

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you for watching and responding!

[@BlayneSukut]

Nice job! I prefer to run a tension wire top and bottom to nip the fence to it. Makes it more stable between the posts and helps prevent animals like goats or pigs from pushing under the wire on the bottom as you can stretch tension wire tighter then the fence wire.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That definitely makes it tougher fence!

[@Autumnswirl71]

I like that t-post/vice grip trick, looked a lot simpler than using the store bought fence stretchers.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you! I think it works even better than the store-bought one.

[@Raul28153]

Ohh, you notched 'em. that took you in past the Pressure treatment so your wood will rot. You could take 'em apart and apply heavy grease. .

[@indica_dogo868]

Nice, we stretch fence the same way! If you don't have a come along you can use a ratcheting tie down.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I was using that very thing before we started taping.

[@chrisreschke4194]

Local 58 Detroit checking in brother. Where you out of? Great video!

[@alfredogarbanzo2276]

Love your videos, pls keep it up!!!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

[@LudwigSC93]

14:00 What is that tool called that you used to wrap the wire around the other?

[@MrAlex-bp5fg]

Dude I love the song 😂

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I did it only to mess with my wife.

[@homesteadingpastor]

Enjoyed this video! I know whatcha mean I hate doing double work and unfortunately sometimes that happens a lot lol 😆 Hard to beat those battery powered power tools on the homestead. Thanks for this informative video. GOD Bless Y’all.

[@amyreaves8054]

Smart!

[@TheRainHarvester]

16:00 are the staples going to be the only thing holding the tension? Won't the wood let go of the staples?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

It’s also stapled around the corner of that spot.

[@TheRainHarvester]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Why not use that tool to twist the wire around the post then onto itself?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

@@TheRainHarvester I never thought of doing that. It seems like a good idea.

[@TheRainHarvester]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 The trick will be tightening it so that when the wire slips around the post, it will still be tight. The slip might put the "knot" at a point which gives more wire slack, than where originally tensioned. I hope that makes sense.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

@@TheRainHarvester it does indeed.

Lee? That's really weird I knew named Lee that looked like your twin and he was also a journeyman electrician. Small world
