This would be a great recommendation for a tough fence awesome..in south east NC I would put post caps on just to keep the wasp from nesting inside the post looks great 👍

[@SWiFence]

Wasps make an excellent case for caps.

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

Just a tip I learned I strip the verticals like you but the top and bottom I split with a cordless grinder to allow them to slide off taking care not to damage the wire they are around. It’s less tedious than straightening the kinks and forcing them off.

[@christophercale]

Great look'n fence guys! Thanks for posting (no pun intended). 😉

[@lesliekevinhuddleston2142]

Please don't think I am a know it all just want to help and give a couple of ideas to consider ; Good to see your brace kept low as higher will want to jack the King - Strainer up out of the ground you may have mentioned that but worth mentioning again as so many people are doing too high up on the Strainer Post now days. If ground so hard to curl top of the Strainer when driven have you considered driving a Spike first as a pilot hole and that will save damage to the top of your driven post( not sure if you have Spike attachment available where you are.) You guys do a great job. NZ.

[@hddoug72]

Your pretty handy with that cordless bandsaw for notching those braces. You drive a lot of posts and therefore have to cut to grade...ss40 hard to cut and I'm sure you have your have yours go to saw and blades. As an old guy for my own project I'd have to resort to setting my posts to elevation and use brace clamps and steel rail ends for my bracing. Good job for showing how to build a quality fence!

We use cedar post and telephone post for pulling post. We has post that have lasted for over 40 years.

yea well those 40 year old posts are there because they were doused in Creosote or PCP. not as big of a flex as you think, that stuff is straight up poison.

[@KamKing19]

Do you all ever do 4 gauge cattle panel fences with wood posts?

[@ironwoodworkman4917]

When welding on Galvanized metal it produces toxic fumes and causes “metal fume fever” or “zinc shakes.” and lead poisoning. When welding I would always keep a fan blowing the fumes away (Yes, I know WY is windy, I grew up in MT ) and wear a face mask when welding and spay painting Galvanized metal and paint. Thank You for the movies about fences.

[@JJG8809]

Does anyone else think this guy sounds like Hank Hill? 😂

[@user-bg2gh6ty2b]

Steel is great but cedar post stripped of all the bark will last a freaking long time

[@stevenpringle7813]

Doesn't welding galvanized steel produce some dangerous gasses?

[@oby-1607]

What about concrete posts? I have seen them used in Australia with success. Can't see much water building up in them, unlike steel pipe posts. But, I really like those T gripples because I just finished wrapping about 10 end posts with 6 1/2 foot page wire and my hands were almost numb with pain after that. Its a little costly but nothing is worth pain.

[@codyaragon93]

Wouldn’t they degrade from freeze thaw cycles though? I guess you would t have to worry about them in warm climates.

[@stilltuckered]

How far apart are your metal posts and how often did you need to brace the post, like with H-posts, or buried into the ground?

[@jermopp]

Just curious for somewhere like new orleans. Thats below sea level. You recommend no dig or concrete? And is the wood or vinyl better for hurricane winds? Thank you

[@SWiFence]

There are several companies doing no dig fence in the New Orleans area. Sea level really doesn’t have anything to do with how well this works since we have proven how well it works in Florida Sand. The real determining factor is the soil: if you’re in a bog, even concrete won’t save you. The only way you’ll ever have success in poor soil conditions is by driving the posts deeper. I personally can’t think of a single way that wood is better than vinyl. That really comes down to personal preference though.

[@jermopp]

@@SWiFence thank you! That really helps me out alot! Im new to thw channel but already love what yall do!

[@OWB20]

Hi, I was just curious what the spacing is between your two king posts and also would this “rance” brace technique work well with 2 7/8 drill stem pipe driven to a depth of 5ft? Thanks

[@SWiFence]

10-12' in-between. And yes, that should work.

[@OWB20]

Sounds good, I appreciate it!

[@jerryminyard7460]

That is so much better than 1 million termination knots and a gut strain

[@SWiFence]

[@bobuncle8704]

What about drilling a pinhole near ground level to drain out any water?

[@SWiFence]

I suppose you could.

[@garymeierhenry3223]

I use cap just for anti wasp nests. Any thoughts on the use of the 8 sided posts (cut off from the solar industry) instead of the round. Are they the same 'guage'?

[@SWiFence]

Wasps are an excellent reason for caps. You can totally use those solar octoposts. We've seen it done.

[@garymeierhenry3223]

@@SWiFence Is there a way to drive(no dig) those octopost that is not at 141k machine? It looks as if they 5" across flat to flat.

[@ericw3964]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I know the material is called Horse Fence but would you use this to fence in horses? Would this be as good as welded oil pipe fence and how would it compare in terms of price?

[@SWiFence]

Yep! It's called horse fence because it's primarily used for horse projects. I'm afraid I really have no idea how it will compare in price to other styles of fence since pricing varies widely from one region of the country to another.

[@featheramericangoodeagle]

We Americans put up with trash from the store unlike The Limeys and Germans and others around the world. Case in point: most livestock feed manufactured in The U.S. is pelletized dust I refuse to spend my money on. I wish I could afford to put up a metal post fence like this on my horse property because I do not use electric fence and the average 1300-pound horse can push over a wooden post because the grass is greener on the other side and this is what they do all day. The best woven fence we can get here is Red Brand horse fence, which stands the test of time. I have some on my property that is 25 years old and it is rusted but is still holding together good as new.

[@Broncsofbluesky]

I think the rule is that if you use the word limey, you must also use kraut. But they’re both kinda rude 🙈 Thanks for the tip on Red Brand though!

[@ranbo9390]

Most people probably can’t afford a fence like that to put animals in

Great fence but,,,, the gripples are crap. As a Texas farmer and someone who has also installed fences for neighbors, I have seen numerous failures of gripples. Maybe it’s the Texas sun, but splicing in more wire and retrenching a gripple fence less than 5 years old is a pain.

[@SWiFence]

You're tired of fixing your fence. Your animals keep pushing it over. You want the least-maintenance over time you can get. If that's not you then I guess you don't.

[@adept00]

@SWiFence hard to justify the cost and time versus a well built cattle fence. Chances are if you can afford that you aren't the one doing the work. I would wager if you didn't have content creators, this fence that is so over the top awesomely expensive it would never exist for this purpose. I'm not shitting on the workmanship at all, but this like building a rocket ship to drive around the block. You would need about 10 generations for ROI for this project lol. I get it tho, everyone is a hater 🤣 my thing is just pitch it realistic homie!

[@SWiFence]

[@adept00]

@SWiFence yeah a video of a contest lol look like my first point of if you can afford that you aren't the one doing the work.. it plays here. I give a little more credit for if it is to bare up against actual tornados. But one thing that gripes me is that the whole thing is set and forget forever but we expect a video 4 years from now when you are out there replacing the gripples on your indestructible fence lol I did also think you used 4" down the whole run and not till you sent me that other 1 did I notice they scaled down to 2" so that's a big difference. Bc those 4" have to be over 130$ a piece on average which is close 80-90k in posts alone in a 1 mile strip which would be bananas i hope we can agree there at least! Either way like I said the workmanship is quality it is certainly the best way to do it resources aside.

[@Chixbythesea]

I have so much to do on my ranch I really don’t want to have to deal with re-doing work or rebuilding anytime soon. I might find a cheaper alternative for the pipe which I would love to use… but I appreciate the methods and durable materials discussed. Not sure why it couldn’t be DIY but with good stuff used. People DIY with quality tractors, etc. It’s a free country and people have different priorities. I’m tired of buying crap and watching it fail quickly. Suit yourself. Don’t be a grump plz.
