Knotting Barbed Wire

[@antheaswann4569]

Thanks Tim that was an awesome little video. Any chance you could do a clip sometime on installing gal gates . We are new be farmers and these clips are teaching us a lot. Thanks so much

I like that second method. Will try that.

[@tonyanddennimaxwell9492]

Awesome. I did this for the first time today and it worked a treat.

[@Quadflash]

Tim, I've never seen your long barbed wire splice before. Tried it today and found it works quite well. Thanks for a really helpful tip!

[@leslieann8130]

Awesome tim, I've finally found you, brand new farmer here. Subscribed and keen. Just brilliant 👍

[@andreabond3501]

Thanks Tim

[@LibertyGarden]

I use method 1. When the wires breaks and there's not enough left to splice, I use new patch that goes at least 2 feet in each direction. Straining tool I use is the golden rod.

G’day Tim what if one end was high tensile plain and the other barb? Cheers

[@FarmLearningTim]

Not advised. Actually got a video on wire that answers that question and more coming out Saturday

[@richardwhite6590]

Could I use the first method to join two rolls together or should I use a figure of 8? Thanks

I remember gloves for barbed wire having heavy staples in the palms and fingers, giving you a sort of armoured glove.

Hi, is there a vid showing how to secure barb around the end posts? The stuff im pulling down to re use looks like it was done as single piece (ie not joined like my plain wires have been) with no termination type knot

[@FarmLearningTim]

Hi Michelle. Barb is typically strained to the post and tied off. This is due to it’s requiring less strain. Some people just twist it around itself and rely on the barb to hold it. It’s better to do a standard termination knot (of which I have done a few videos). Hope that helps.

[@michelleyoung5541]

Thank you. Half hour of trying to roll it up fir reuse has quashed my good recycling intentions 🤣. Rotten stuff is going down the tip and I'll top my Lil sheep mesh stretch with plain

[@FarmLearningTim]

@@michelleyoung5541 MUCH better! Barb is cruel and outdated.

Those boots look brand new. . . .

[@evansedwards7573]

the second method is quick but it has a short life span it will rust where the sharp bend is and break the first method is the best may take a little longer but it will last forever

[@farmstyle92macd55]

Handy cheers 🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤠

[@jonathanfaasse3210]

Thanks Tim. Is the first knot okay to use on high tensile barbed wire? For the end knots, do you strip off a few barbs and tie a normal end knot, or is there another way?

[@geoffeverist4264]

Tim , great videos , so when is fencing wire to old for you to use ?

[@charleswaters2929]

Very slow. I just do like the quick knot, but at the end of the strainer. Only go round the wire once then take the strainer off before completing. Never had one break

[@ciaranconeely8579]

👍👍👍.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

Supposedly, the crimp connectors give you 100% of the strength of the wire, not *nearly* 100% like your top example.

[@rodneyeike895]

I you didn't use that cheap ass gaucho wire would wrap a whole lot better
