Stretching/Tightening Woven Wire Fence

[@gerardjohnson2106]

You done good. I been fencing since '56 carrying water and fetching for my grandpa. By the 60s daddy had me hand digging and tamping posts. Was no steel T posts. They were locust post cut and skinned Jan-Feb then set that summer. Had to set the locust post before they seasoned or they got too hard to drive staples in. Locust don't rot and termites won't eat it. Those post lasted over 50 years. Since then I've fenced miles. Still have my last set of oak stretchers (just like yours) and the unspooler I built for 5' woven wire 2×4 horse fence. It's 3pt hitch and unspools vertical so you don't have the hassle of setting the fence up to the posts. It also works for a full 20 rod roll of 4' livestock fence. It's real dang handy. I can't fence anymore but it pleases me to watch you doing it. :-) Thanks for sharing

Great job Darrell. Great to see you making your place into a fine farm! Lots of work but you’ll make it!

[@johnyb9884]

Helpful to watch you put up fence. Thanks

[@dfishman76]

Thank you

[@borhoden3216]

Awsome example and simple to do, thanks for sharing. Did you concrete the wood posts?

[@dfishman76]

No I just packed the dirt around them. We have very hard dirt in my area

Great video Daryl. Only one thing that would have made it better is the cowboy hat. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Bees gonna love that corn pollen also.

[@dfishman76]

Lol thanks. Cow boy hat will be back

[@jimtom1115]

Very useful video! Thanks for the info..... The corn is huge, in Michigan it's 2ft tall! We will start to harvest in mid October to November.

[@dfishman76]

We get a head start on y’all

[@StephenBiggers]

what are you fencing off? will you raise goats...just interested to see what you are planning. Ive used that type of fencing for my bee yard to keep out predators etc.

[@dfishman76]

It’s more or less for the ducks but I am sure we will have a few goat or sheep at some point

[@menace2584]

We need some beekeeping videos. Honey flow is about over is over.

[@dfishman76]

I will get you some out soon. Wind is blowing every afternoon when I get off work

[@karenwaitley9515]

A lot of work,but pays off later , once the fence is up big relief. Hua?

[@dfishman76]

It will be a relief. Then I will have to pick back up on the other fences I have to put up
