[@onlyhereforddebob8978]

Poles have integrated into Scottish society very well. Every job site I’ve worked on the polish have a reputation for being hard workers

[@AlbinDavidN]

Although americanized polish folk aren’t quite as resilient in my personal opinion , the polish born that came to the US are one tough bunch . Across the board even the women will work their tail off. Less and less are coming here because Europe offers more opportunities than they did in the 90s and early 2000s . I came here in 2000 (USA) mom and dad both grinded for better lives . This is why polish folk get along with Latino folk , both work ethics are unmatched

[@AlexGidenko]

That’s Crazy! I’ve been building fences for over 12 years and never saw how Scottish people build there farm fences. That’s one cool experience

[@razzlebazzle420]

Cuz we only build em once every 20-40 years. We don't get storms as severe as the US, but what we do get is constant driving wind and near constant rain, so untarred posts will rot and collapse, anything heavier becomes dangerous. In a husbandry, animals push up against them. Houses and gardens will still use post seatings and quickset concrete, but I think that's cuz they can't get a half ton postsmasher into the gardens

[@specialks1953]

Rory is a great man. It's easy to see why his customers trust him to do a great job. Thanks

[@MCPUGGINS231]

Very cool to see. A few years ago I was building deer fencing on the west coast of Scotland. Almost everything was done by hand due to the inaccessibility of the land. Tough old work

[@drucknashorn3057]

I have done some fencing with this system in Australia. In 4 weeks we did 11km. We had easier conditions than what you got here, but overall its a great way of doing it.

[@martinquintana5837]

Thanks to all your tutorials and instructions on chainlink fence installation my wife and I installed a 50ft. Fence to the front of our property. Mine you it took us a whole week to accomplish we are both in our mid 60 year old, but again with your tutorial it made it easier. Dug 9 holes with a post hole digger and poured 6 bags of quick drying cement. Again thank you. Aloha from Kansas.

10 years ago I took a bike tour thru NZ and was very impressed with their fencing. Beautiful jobs. I do try to equal that on my ranch, but not up to their quality. Too bad we don't do that.

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

Irn Bru is nectar of the gods and you're right, its almost impossible to describe the flavour. also those gate posts that he was driving are basically telephone poles with a spike cut into them, you could utterly destroy a car driving into one and if its set like these ones it will barely shift an inch

[@Scotland1766]

I'm a Scot living and working in Australia. We tend to use a wired diagonal brace, from the strainer to the first post with timber or more common now, gal pipe. And our strainers you can't lift by hand, our hardwood is so heavy. I pilot drill the strainer 700, then set it with thumper. Nice tight fence though. Concrete posts are becoming popular here, as timber become rarer. Stars like these can be leaned on by cattle.

Scotch Whisky Association director of strategy Graeme Littlejohn said: “The 10.1% duty increase is a hammer blow for distillers and consumers. “At a time when inflation has only just started to creep downwards, this tax increase will continue to fuel inflation and make it more difficult for the Scotch Whisky industry to invest in growth and job creation in Scotland and across the UK supply chain. “Rather than choosing to back an industry which the UK government promised to support through the tax system, the Government has chosen to impose the largest duty increase in almost half a century, increasing the cost of every bottle of Scotch Whisky sold in the UK by almost a pound and taking the tax burden on the average priced bottle to 75%.@@AlanDevine257

This type of video is the reason I started watching youtube, educational, informative, and quite funny in its delivery. I've lived in Canada and America, and yes, Americans are pretty "lazy" when it comes to building things, it's nice to see people from different countries coming together to learn new ways to do their jobs. Well done to the people involved in this video, well done indeed.

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

In my local paper a fencing firm were advertising for workers "There is a post for you at Fences R us" "

[@TheKajunkat]

The kiwis and the aussies are really blowing us away in fencing technology. Everytime I break down (ain't cheap) and buy their products I am blown away by how well they work and how well thought out they are.

[@SWiFence]

Couldn't agree more. 👍🏻

[@peterdykzeul3074]

Yes. We are very spoilt in NZ with what is available. Some are just clever like the batten square and batten spacer by Strainrite. The post rammer set-ups you see are just amazing and the terrain they work on is frightening. I was selling some ewes this year (have a lifestyle property near Auckland) and one of the buyers worked for a contract fencer and he was critiquing my fencing and battening efforts. Curiosity made me ask how many battens he could put on in a day on an 8 wire fence. He said his best day was 1000. I was even more gobsmacked when I asked if that was with two people and he replied saying that was doing it all by himself.

[@westonandelin4556]

I agree as well. I bought the blue air driver last year, (comes out of Australia) and I also bought the fenceline strainers from down under. So much better than the golden rod. I've also switched to hi-tensile wire and I love it. My ranch has over 30 miles of fence and as I replace the old barbed wire, I'm putting up smooth hi-tensile. No more barbed on this place. There is a guy in Texas that sells the blue driver.

[@peterdykzeul3074]

@@westonandelin4556 It is funny to read that you are switching to high tensile wire as that is just standard here in NZ and has been for decades. It's even available in a Double Life version that is made especially for coastal areas but everyone uses it. A little more but bugger all. You don't really see anyone using barb wire anymore. I think there may even be rules now regarding its use for animal safety reasons.

[@westonandelin4556]

@@peterdykzeul3074 The more research I do, it seems everyone but the USA uses smooth hi-tensile. I'm the only guy using it in my area for sure, but I feel like I'm ahead of the game.. I've also been contracting jobs here and there as I get them. I would love to spend a few months fencing with some Kiwis to learn from the pros.

[@mattdevaud]

A note on the Scottish countryside and clever gate design: you are allowed to walk/hike anywhere in the countryside (yes even through farmers fields, provided you are respectful and don’t disturb livestock) through the Right to Roam Act. One interesting thing you’ll notice is the many gates and fences that you’ll pass through. I’ve never seen so many clever gate designs made out of some many different materials. Some as simple as a heavy rock that you need to pick up and move, others resembling a multiple-step mouse trap. I feel like anyone watching videos about different ways to build fences would really get a kick out of that 😂

[@grahamrankine8017]

Respect people that have to work and live in the country side when you see the litter and human waste that’s left behind from these right to roam people you wouldn’t have it in your back garden 🐀🐀🐀

In cold temp's where the frost goes down 5' the post has to go down be low 5' or the frost will heave the post out a little each year . And I think the ancher posts should go down 6' to 7' to counter the pull of the page wire being streched and have tennchion so they do not pullout of the ground . Super machine !
