Pipe Fence & Cattle Panel

[@birddog61999]

We always laid our toprail on cut one end to fit in the corner then put it in place and marked the top rail in the middle of the last post it set on. Then slide it down and cut it off, slide it back and your joint is now in the middle of a post so its less likely to break and it helps hide changes in elevation in the top rail. Nice fence though, you always do good work.

[@Thomas-bv9mn]

The nice thing about this kind of fence is that cattle will see the top pipe. It's rare to have a cow jump that kind of fence unless provoked. That fence should take a lot of abuse and not fail. Cows always seem to be able to find a weak spot if you try to fake them out.

[@Isaacmantx]

My dad did the same basic fence with his calf pasture and entrance, except he added a piece of sucker rod across the bottom of the panel, and mid-way up the panel.

[@twcstransam]

I like the 2 modifications to the vice-grips you made.

[@mikenicholson2548]

Just weld a tab on the edge of both sides of the pipe halfway down. Have a 3/8 or a 1/2 hole drilled in them. Then you can bolt on a 2x6 or 2x8 rough cut over the top of the panel it will be there forever. I have done this for years, works great, and saves money.

[@stevensaxon8888]

Austin, that cherry picker on your truck sure is handy .

[@tobywilliams4614]

I did this across the front of my place with 2 3/8. Only difference in our black dirt I drove the posts. And had to cut my saddles vertical which ain’t bad. I just can’t believe that panels are $60 a piece and drill stem is $2.50 per ft now!

[@treetop5752]

I like a mid rail, keeps panels from getting bent up

[@treetop5752]

And a bottom rail sometimes, I used 3 rails and it'll hold ANYTHING

[@brian7327]

Glad you got them fenced in if they were mine they would have been looking for the one place I forgot great video

[@bsquadrider]

Got any tips to help prevent the dreaded top rail warpage when you weld it out? Sometimes its worse than other's, but it bugs me taking the time to make everything level and that top rail sucks down on either side of the post.

[@nolanfrank582]

The cows were so interested in your work hahaha

[@theboredcreative]

Great work. I'm starting to see something similar at ranches here in North Texas. It makes for a pretty good looking and sturdy fence. Good luck with that cow, man. We had a half Charolais/half Brahman cow jump flat-footed over a five-foot-tall corral without any effort at all. I wish I had a picture of our faces after spending all day trying to run her up on foot.

[@RaulHernandez-si1wr]

Great work😊

[@tomsales263]

i hope they don't run into the same problem i have. i was using the 23/8" used pipe like that and after about a year of doing my fences i took the drops to the recycle center for scrap to get rid of it. well after taking it to 2 different places, they would not except it because it tested Radioactive. the pipe place i bought it at did not mention that there would be a problem to get rid of it.

[@michaelbaca1496]

Use them on the bottom of your posts, concrete don't mind a little radiation

[@SethBrooks200]

It’s actually salt still in the pipe. If you go wash it we hot pressure washer, it’ll knock out

[@allentyler2184]

Hi bud! I have been watching the odd video for awhile now and appreciate the ranch work you do. Many people use concrete mesh around my area and i was wondering how to weld such thin, wire mesh to pipe? And because its thin mesh, how to get a nice tight fit like a heavier gauge cow panel would fit . Thanks so much.

[@dwal2165]

Thanks for making.

[@brokendad2222]

Nice pen, if they go over this leave them out. I have to go set some posts myself. Have a good day.

[@LibertyGarden]

Hello Austin, thanks for the video. I want to make a pipe corral but I don't have power on my property. Can a wire fed welder running on a 20AMP generator make strong enough welds? The stick welders like a buzz box require a 50 AMP breaker, and I don't have a generator that big.

[@wesleydirks4887]

I've got a question for those with welding beds, like yours. How do you get the acetylene tank down in the hole? How do you lift them?

[@rickleever2296]

Great job Sir

[@blakebiltwell5]

Than you for sharing! What’s the best black paint would you recommend for the pipe fence?

[@jasonblount7165]

Is there a video of the gen pole set up for moving and lifting the pipe?

[@clintchew1019]

I’m not telling anyone their business, but I prefer to hang cattle or hog panel the other way so that the horizontals are to the livestock rather than the verticals, walking along the fence the animals are less likely to pop the spot welds and then it typically will not require a special modified clamp to tack to the drill stem to the panel. No disrespect intended, just an opinion, from one to another. The high pressure spots from livestock tend to reveal this more than others, but both are upgrades reguardless.

[@altonemery9526]

When we are doing non-climb paneling, we always have the verticles toward the livestock/horses. If you get one that paws or climbs the hoof is more likely to slide down the verticles than get hung up on the horizontals and break the panel.

[@HomerEscobar1]

How do you hang the panels when there's stock on both sides of the fence?!

[@charmainevandiford6622]

How much does the pipe cost on average. If cheap enough with the cattle panels it sure looks good and should last a long time.

[@papalilburn]

Looks great, however, I'd consider running a sucker rod about one horizontal section up from the bottom. This keeps livestock from "rooting" the bottom up and ruining the overall look.

[@aarondonald2100]

Fact is. Getting mad at it still works

[@VerdantImage]

Where do you find the pipe? Everywhere I look it is unseasonably expensive nowadays

[@mattdickey5493]

Cows just don't listen sometimes. They will nose and lick things. Learned that trick about the clamp. Like it very well. The pipe you are using is it old drill stems or something else and what length does it come in? Let me know cause I use 2,7/8 of pipe for guard rails in industrial plants and warehouses.

[@nelsonglass6]

Look like the cows are closed to harvest

[@geraldqualls7439]

When you were welding the top rail together. What were you using ? Was it a guide to weid around the pipe ?

[@wayner806]

Why were you hammering on the pipe when you hadn’t finished the cutting? Got the C’MON shirt and it’s a favorite, comfy shirt. The money candle sits by my chair and smells great without burning it.

[@specialks1953]

He mentioned that hammering the pipe while cutting was to remove the Rust inside the pipe. It probably helps the torch cut the pipe if it does not have the rust scale to punch through. That is a good question since you missed the hammering reason.

[@wayner806]

@@specialks1953 thanks. I missed it indeed but that’s a great tip for used drill stem. “Learn something everyday,” A Ross

[@arosswelding]

The hammering the end of the pipe after my cut was just to knock of the slag… save me from pulling out my grinder

[@Blakedaanimal]

Ever used a post driver to drive pipe posts instead of the auger? Do you have a preference?

[@JH-ii3jc]

We use a posthole digger and cement our posts in in dig able ground. In rock we use a rock drill then pound the pipe in with a pounder.

[@jaystewart9947]

Great job sir! Exactly how I taught you! 😂 just kidding. Ferdinand needs to know the error of his ways. 😅 on a serious-er note the pen/corral looks great!

[@michaelanthony6785]

Great video , thanks bud

[@billbray5995]

Good thing you dont have Brahman cattle, that fence is just a minor hurdle for them. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ForestForTheTrees3283]

When you weld posts that are already in the "ground" and grounded do you need to clamp your ground clamp on and if not, what do you do with it? I did just see that you did have your clamp on one end but I swear I've seen other guys doing fence posts and can't for the life of me see where it's grounded with a clamp... Can someone help me out with this one? Thanks

[@michaelkilman5506]

Where do you get your pipe guide to trace out for cutting?

[@Logan-yx7cw]

You should tack weld with mig welder

[@isaacag2169]

Do you Charge by hr or by foot bro ? And how much

Whats that clamp called that you used to join the 2 sections?

On the top rail, why did u cut the collar off? Turn the plpe around and when u cut the upset off the pipe would slip 3-4 inches into the collar as a slip joint

they do get ants in their pants at pickup time jumping over 5 foot fences sometimes... braking 5 inch wood posts and a bunch of nailed in 2x6's. 12 inch wood posts work to, but they a lot heavier then the metal pipe... full of that heavy wood treatment stuff. "old power line posts..."

[@fancyhitchpin8675]

If you were serious about playing farmer you'd have got an old tombstone for $40 at an auction and burned up those 7014s. More seriously, I'd consider putting up some hot or barbed wire on either side close to the top to discourage jumping and rubbing.
