The thing I liked about watching you two build fence? Was I wasn't either person!!! I've built miles of fence so I'm glad to let someone else build it and I'll just watch!🤣🤣😂😂🤩🤩 Thanks for the video.

[@chriscarpenter3429]

It's funny that I had used Gripples for stretching trellis wire in our vineyard, so I recognized them immediately. But somehow had I never thought of using then for cattle fencing. Gonna have to try that!

[@kevinhuddleston4219]

Stoney Ridge , just a idear I fenced years ago and I used the netting on fences I was doing at the time as you are here and it was suggested to me by a retired Sheep and Cattle farmer to run a barb wire on the bottom nearest the ground to stop stock working under netting .Also the barb wont rot away like the netting would its easy to remove and replace if it ever did and netting would be pretty for donkey years.

[@michaelfrawley1181]

We use the Gripple Plus in the vineyard for our trellising wires. They have a tensioning tool and multipacks that make it convenient. Game Changing Fun! Woooo!

[@mikecox3659]

You got way lucky to have Brian as a neighbor ... I got lucky too with Mr. Roy, 83 and going strong! All the best from central Arkansas!

[@jeffthompson8770]

Thanks for showing the Gripple splice. First I had seen them.

[@nathanspearing4375]

You’re the man! Thanks from Southern Pines!

[@gacountryboy69]

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. I just learned so much

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

many many other fencing vids on the channel...check out the fencing playlist! you'll learn so so much! This is the most popular ag fencing channel on the planet my brotha!

[@kylebrown5655]

I’m putting up cattle fence now that was a big help

[@jasonsteele9580]

Man that’s easy. We used to have to use a come-along to stretch that stuff. Of course that was 30 yrs ago. Keep having fun my friend.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep that's how I grew up too

[@mikepoint4983]

That’s quite the system from the staples to the tractor , your the man Josh enjoy the coldies . Cheers

[@jonathanrayfencing1824]

I prefer Farm Fence Solutions method which uses boundary strainers instead of the tractor to pull the fence. I did it your way for the past 30 years but after watching Luke’s channel, I changed to his method and feel like my end product is better. Thanks for the videos

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

[@georgecharles941]

I have a meme for decades that says 'too bad ignorance isn't painful'...lol. When I saw your shirt, I thought of it right away.

[@roykeith4738]

Josh, just wanted you to know, I look forward to your blog. The only thing they are not long enough. Keep up the good work.

[@anthonyspicer874]

Thanks for the motivational video. I've had posts in the ground for 3 years now. Lol, time to finish.

[@OutdoorswithAdriaan]

Man this Takes me back... done miles of those fences and we had to pull it by hand using cable pullers...

[@noahschoenike2412]

We do splices the old way were you have the crimps and the tool. Neighbors are the best kind of help!!!

[@paddyrhatigan1590]

The Tractor mounted wire unroler Great idea

[@danieladkins9227]

Josh I just bought a small little farm 13 level Acer's of prime newly planted alfalfa fuel along highway 32 West in Missouri right off the new cedar Creek bridge that was built and opened in January of 2020...I now need to decide what to build and what to raise.. although I want a huge lake I'm only 5 minutes away from Stockton Missouri 25 thousand Acer clear water hidden gem.

[@PaulCarm]

Good job, cool tool.

[@tomcooke6670]

Tsc does carry red barn high tensile woven wire for horses. I just bought it yesterday

[@michaelpalosaari9460]

Impressed with the details of a few things. Pounding the staples in at different angles, Awesome! The GRIPPLE is a great little addition to putting two rolls of woven fencing together! I will be building a fence in about a month just like this. Awesome information that will help me a ton! Thank you!

[@jordantheellama]

I’m so glad you made this video, I’m getting ready for same project. Thank you for the great information sir! Wooo!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yessir!!

[@beckywatt5048]

Redbrand is REAL fence ,wood posts throw out Staples,in Michigan we use nails ,they don't fall out,built miles of fence when l was young,I kinda miss it.

[@westforkcustoms7277]

So why is it that none of the pros are using Red Brand and nails?

[@TheUserid82]

And you have the perfect tool on your farm for keeping fence lines cleared of weeds in the form of the goats. With that type of fence you just need temp fencing on the side with the weed problem then send in the goats to eat all the weeds off the fence up to the distance that a mower can safely get up to it.

[@rontucker1086]

I have never used a tractor to stretch fencing. Just used an ol' fashioned fencing stretcher. Seems to go much quicker with the tractor though. Good video Josh!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I like the shirt with the goat on it!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Me too! Thanks...I based it off what my viewers were asking for here is a link for you www.bonfire.com/srf-goat/

[@mikenicholson2548]

One trick that I have learned from fencing since I was a little kid mind you that was 40 years ago but still do today is get your fencing Staples rusted they hold way better

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Cool good tip!

[@joeh4295]

Brother I'd love to come visit your farm and see your operation. I'm always willing to learn anything new. Going from a military medic to farmer is a bit of a change.

[@bcgrittner]

Very educational. I learned a lot watching the two of you. Looks like you'll need to borrow that fencing attachment when you install your fence.

[@patrickfoster7970]

Great instructional video. Just wondered why both galvanised n treated wood posts were not treated additionally with some kind of protective coating like tar or antioxidant (for galvanised posts) to further extend life of posts and ultimately fencing.

[@simonrowley4913]

Helping and learning again, nice job Josh 👍🏻

[@jeremaihmabena8364]

Good work

[@robertrodriguez7051]

Excellent video thank you

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Great video Josh. Doing that fencing definitely earns you the right for some of that frosty cold adult beverage.

[@mikedavis3489]

Once again I learned something and got a laugh. Josh keep 'em coming.

[@dandavidson7239]

Great job!!

[@wyattreynolds7203]

That’s some good fence work nice job to you and your neighbor.

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

"How about putting that camera down and helping me with this fence !" LOL

[@davidsherbert6896]

been there, done that....that's alot of work and fence Staples....

[@malcolmmcinnes888]

Thanks from Australia. Great clarity, good video, easy to understand

[@daveo5067]

Well, I am no expert but when you wrap a fence post I don't think you should staple the knot solid on the back of the post like that. This causes a twisting action on the post and will turn the post over time because the pull is trying to spin the post. If wrapped around and tied off to the live wire and allowed to centre itself when tightened the pull is centred on the post. I think this is why most instructions also tell you to cut off the vertical part of the fence when wrapping the post so you the wire is free to turn on the post. Aside from that, thanks for the video, it is always good to watch others work when I should be out doing the same!

[@mik3lee984]

Typically, it's standard to concrete these posts that are stapled to before it's stretched. This stops any twisting of the post.

[@jones2539]

A nice cold adult glass of milk. Keep up the good work and videos!

[@Recovering_Californian]

That's a heck of a fence. Around my parts (Missouri) everyone uses t posts and barbed wire.

[@AlokeshBagchi]

Thank you for the video! I am planning to try it myself!

[@baileypope6735]

New subscriber and I love your content. Just bought some property and I’ll be fencing for some goats. Thanks for your videos!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You're welcome...look at some of the other fencing vids...I've to the most on youtube...so much info on the fencing playlist!

[@baileypope6735]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thanks I definitely will! I have so much to learn!

[@Peteslife]

FYI, we call that ringlock in australia. It will be good for your goats and sheep when you do it at your place... Also we space out the wooden posts a lot further and have star pickets (t pickets) inbetween. And yes get some sheep, ok you have to shear them but they are so tasty, and nicer than eating goat..

[@SunsetValleyRanch]

Using a waffle head hammer with those staples is a good idea, I've found that those staples need to be "steered" most of the time to keep them from going in all kinds of wonky.

[@faithsfarmlife1424]

I learned something today thanks for your video, new sub here, Faith

[@dargno]

I forsee a lot of spraying fence lines in that fella's future lol Join the club. Never ending job around here.

[@cornbrains]

How often do you need H braces in long straight runs? Also, should you tie off rolls of woven wire after each roll or is just using Gripples and staples for very long runs reliable?

[@carlconn3963]

Thanks for sharing, answered some of my questions. Not wearing gloves... Stupid should hurt.

[@CarsonAdventures]

What outger Ways are to handle the large wire roll when your installing it

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Great Video Josh, I Learned something today

[@fernandovillarreal2666]

Keep on coming with the videos

[@hatchetjack3476]

Pounded my man! You’ve definitely made a quick fan out of me! I’d be interested in a shirt and hopefully to visit the farm someday when the wife and I get done our deployments! We’re not too far away!

[@dub-dub4207]

Thanks for the video homeboy love the video s homeboy away s informational

[@hammyh1165]

I've done miles of fencing, it was good to see someone else doing it 👍. We use Gripples here in the UK too

[@DorothysHobbyFarm]

Great video, I was just asking myself how I was going to build ours and you solved all my questions in one clip, thanks battle.

[@xkitchick]

What’s the name of that fence unroller, I need to ask around to borrow one, but I wanna know what I’m asking for 🤣

[@davidwhitlock5832]

I call it fluffy

[@jmsmallenginerepair9881]

Love your videos Mr stoney ridge keep making videos.

[@ralphstrucking]

Oh we got ton of rain today in Statesville N.C.

[@robertwatkins8220]

Thanks! Do you have a video of installing the sense posts?

[@OakKnobFarm]

hahaha! Just picked up a roll of similar fencing today. Not doing a high tension design, however... I'm only closing in a small garden area. Gotta keep the deer outta the veggies

[@Ramdodge582]

Would you use this type of fencing for wooded areas? How will it hold up if a tree lands on it? The wife wants hog panels with 4-5" posts every 8' with a top rail post.

[@Jacob-tl8nr]

I will definitely be getting one of those stupid should hurt shirts.

[@trueteam1313]

Nice to see they made a jig for unrolling fence we always just stuck a metal fence post pulled it behind the tractor with a log chain

[@moniquechurchill6857]

Can you use metal T posts instead of wood, or is it not able to be tightened enough?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You sure could....but you'll be rebuilding the fence in 10 years...T-posts aren't the quality that they used to be in my opinion...check out my fencing playlist...we cover all sorts of farm fencing! You'll learn so much!

[@joegeorge6492]

I like the shirts.

[@humperdink46]

Unfortunately your stapling was done incorrectly. Staples should be turned diagonal with the bevel on the tips of the staple rotated away from the wire. The bevel on the staple makes the tips of the staple expand outward and has a much stronger hold

[@emmahiginbotham7057]

Was a shovel or a power auger used to put the posts in the ground?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

post driver

[@barrybailey9796]

Could you tell me how it works when you have uneven ground? Do you have to stretch and attach from each high point? Or what is the secret to keep it from having gaps at ground level? Thanks!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Attach at the high points and low points my brotha

[@omeryousafzai5777]

what is the best place to get the supplies, and the wire?

[@ronhart4166]

Technology !!!! We never had NO GRIPPERS growing up. Always did a wire twist splice :) All the TECHNOLOGY we have and no-one has came up with a PNEUMATIC FENCING NAIL GUN !!!!! Wouldn't that be sweet :)

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

Ron Hart actually they do have one in the UK...i saw a vid on it looks awsome

[@ronhart4166]

That sure would have been nice to have !! Back in the day.

[@farmfencesolutionsllc]

[@MegaBlaze1011]

Hey hey hey! Keep up the work

[@erockhefleyjr6852]

I love this VLoG!!! Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!HeeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeeee!!!ALrighT!!!!🤗🤗🤗

[@DaybirdAviaries]

You make that look so easy.

[@AutumnOaksFarm]

LOL I love the Stupid Should Hurt shirt.

[@cow35f]

Mrs Stongy ridge looks nice with her hair down!

[@langstonrowe8243]

I’ve never seen anyone put a fence up like that, the wire should stay on the same side all the time!

[@chip6515]

The other good reason to not put the bottom of the fence too close to the ground is so you can weed eat without chewing thru your string (for those that plan to weed eat around the fenced area)

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Amen!! Very true!

[@chip6515]

petnzme01 yeah that's why I added the caveat

[@oby-1607]

We have installed woven fence 6 inches off the ground and have had deer wiggle under it. I don't like putting it on the ground because of wire rot but have to for it to be effective.

[@fionajane56]

We just invested in a 7 strand high tensile perimeter fence, we also made 5, woven wire [Double knot] secure paddocks, predator proof so they are close to the ground. We use flamer called a Red Dragon for weed control. Here in South Central Kentucky grass/ weeds etc grow insanely fast and we want to keep our fences in good shape. Great video and information.

[@dgb5820]

Love the accent and great job

[@Quadman808]

good stuff, i think you guys only weave those posts on interior fences ? Our perimeter fences are all on one side of the posts, and only stagger for livestock interior field fencing. Nearly all our feed stores and even our area home depots stock heavier duty fence like that. Thanks for sharing -

[@slackwayneo]

Hello my name is Wayne I was wondering why you're using wood post every looks like every 12 ft instead of t post

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

T-Posts that you buy nowadays aren't the ones that your grandpa used....they're cheap steel and simply don't last. However.....when ya build your own fence you can choose whatever materials you like my friend...the wood posts have a better aesthetic

[@ItsFoux]

What were the posts made of? Cut down trees? What’s the best posts to use? What kind of wood?

[@kathybluxome5514]

The thing the wire sits on, is that a rental?

[@freddjones8368]

You think you perfect, you wrong. LOL!! WOOOO!!!!!!

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Enjoyed it man... Thanks for sharing !

[@mikenicholson2548]

Nice info video

[@LeslieHelm-m6r]

How far apart are the post?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

around 18 feet on this job

[@jamessteffens8337]

How did you put the post in the ground?

[@gmiller4326]

What is the make and model of the "FENCE UNROLLER"

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I believe it's a Tarter Farm and Ranch

[@johnnyturbo8460]

"Alright... wooooo"! Make the shirt!!

[@jtapia92]

Thats awesome

[@rgs4x]

I would cap those post tops with roof tar or something to shed water. Maybe flashing.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

So...I've also given this some thought.....wouldnt the part of the post that's in the ground...constantly exposed to moisture be the first to rot? I've seen folks do all kinds of trick but I've never seen a post rot from the top down...usually the end of a fence post is breaking off at the ground.....what are your thoughts or experiences?

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

LOL I know you didnt suggest it, but you dont wanna tar the bottoms of the post either or you form a collection pot made of tar that will hold water in to the post...

[@augustreil]

Wranglestar did his mailbox post with a hole bored at an angle right at the dirt line and filled it with oil diesel oil or creasote. They last a lifetime if done right.

[@TheCaptainAl]

In Australia these post are h3 treated which is hazard area 3 which allows it to sit dirt moisture etc, my only concern is over time the posts splitting

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

The posts will rot at the very top and form these caverns in the top over time, which is why you often see tops of posts cut at angles. However like you're saying, they often break off at the ground. This is frequently because water collects at the base of the post, which is why I mound dirt at the bottom of posts when I install them so as to shed water. I do 2 things when I install a wood post that I want to last a long time. First is add 2 inches of pea gravel at the bottom of the hole. This will allow some drainage inside so the post isn't resting in water. Second, I take roofing tar and coat all 4 sides of the posts + the 2 inches of the post that will be above ground. Do not coat the bottom of the post as moisture needs to be able to leave the post when it gets wet. You'll notice that the utility companies do something similar with power lines. You'll see a black treatment at the base of the posts.

[@michellemhessman4364]

hey raining here nc

[@TricksRforKids903]

Look up figure 8 knot easyest cheapest way the connect 2 rolles together

[@mdkeener75]

When running the fence around corners, do you go to the outside then back inside? Great video thanks for the laughs an info

[@brewsterly2927]

You don't, they f....ed up and should have told us, THEN it wold be far more instructive.

[@chasedispatch7699]

what do you call that yellow thing that holds the wire? Can you rent them?
