The man is great. He will sell more of this product for them for all diners, farmer and residential. I always hated wobbly wood and wire fences. The concreted pipe and wire done properly will now last 100 years. The tensions. The painted, welded, and hanging really works the line wires really work for critters, sheep, chickens, and cattle, forever.

[@kd5inm]

It looks great and will be great for years to come. The only con I can see is the tax man is going to come by and say it's $5000 of improvements.

[@upnorth1955]

I think it's great that this company helped you with your fence. You deserve it, great job.

[@Rob89139]

Man, having that guy from Bekaert helping out was not only a huge help but very educational for those of us who are watching. Fence looks amazing and with his knowledge and assistance will be there for many years to come

[@harveyfoos]

Fence looks wonderful. Van is the real deal! Thanks to Bekaert Fence. Great video Evan.

[@jarpasmannen]

Great to see another video with Van. In the last video he really came across as capable, knowledgeable and pleasant. Fence looks great!

[@vanmedley3413]

Thank you!

[@pamelaadams2563]

What kind of chain are you using and where can I get that stuff from​@@vanmedley3413

[@51rwyatt]

Interesting seeing two guys doing work that might not get touched again for 50 years

[@michaelwebb4833]

Evan you and Rebecca should feel so proud of everything you’ve accomplished so far this year. The fence stretching with Van was great. Keep moving forward to your ultimate dream 😊

[@jackiebinns6205]

Every fence builder needs Van ! This fence is way to complicated 😢

[@richardburris1282]

Man that looks so good. What's wrong with a fella being proud of a job well done.

[@Jaytuber-we5by]

Van was a wealth of knowledge, I love it when guys put on their teacher hat and give their expertise freely.

[@LanceMitchell-j1s]

A good hard day’s work makes me proud to be an American! Way to go Evan, keep up the good work.

[@neilrobinson7843]

From a fan in the UK who's disabled I look forward to every single video, you're in my top 5 channels to watch. It's unfair on all the other channels to rate any differently. I'm looking forward to you showing how you fix your duck weed problem and re-stocking your beautifull pond

[@pampilgrim2274]

Awesome, Evan! Your new fence is very well done. Congratulations on this major accomplishment.

[@RaysBeesandHoney]

See if they’ll use you for their marketing commercials? Extremely impressive job. That’s truly a great looking sturdy fence!

[@publicEnima]

That guys knows fencing! Period!

[@charmainevandiford6622]

If I was building a fence this is the Nan I would want to show me how. He is a master fence builder. I work people in dangerous environment everyday and I love how he is always not just showing how but how to do it safely. Many People get to the point he is and they act like people should just know and they don’t. Many do not know just how fast you can get hurt or killed doing farm work or any kind of work. Hats off to Van.

[@charmainevandiford6622]

I need to proofread before sending I meant Man not Nan.

[@daleredmond6449]

It looks like a hard enough job with 2 people so take your time doing it alone buddy. Slow and easy.

[@robinhoff4598]

Great job. You two male a great team. Safety first. It’s no accident

[@bduncan9724]

Evan I bet you're relieved that Van came and ran that section with you. Hell of a good looking job

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Evan. Nice job

[@marthabartel604]

Cost report for us break down. How much if and hw much you did it for.

[@ronwhite6719]

Evan, the fence looks awesome. It was great to see Van explaining and working with you. He's a great teacher.

[@elainedegoede6276]

Great job you guys did. Evan you did great with all the prep work you did to make it all fall into place. Shows you hard word does pays off. Looks great 🙏💕

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

Wow! This guy was a great help. Fence looks great!

[@shawndugay4089]

The forage crop you just planted sure looks good. Cant wait to see it cut and baled.

[@loulauer5853]

Fantastic job! Every time you drive by the fence line, you'll be smiling.

[@bobmoroney3643]

Great job. Now you're an expert. It will probably be challenge doing it by yourself. But you'll do it.

[@marthabartel604]

I really like the Blake pipes are you add rock or concrete to any wobbly pipes.

[@lastoeck]

Van is a really gifted teacher. He’s incredibly patient and always explains why you need to do something instead of just “do it because I said so”.

[@michaelwpaulin4876]

That is the best looking and strongest fence work I have ever seen.. Great Job guys.

[@coyotiess]

Learning from an EXPERT is enlightening! When you learn from the best you can rest easy knowing that it is right!!!!

[@larrybauman7430]

I like your splicing connectors and your stretchers. And nice post clips.

[@tenneyconstruction7323]

Absolutely awesome video, great information. So glad you are turning out more videos.

[@jefffortney4261]

Great job, Evan and Van!!! The fence looks wonderful and should last you for decades.

[@Lucy-x7o]

Maybe it's longer!😂

[@frevele1656]

Amazing he makes it look easy

[@Manoffire260]

That Milwaukee has some wild torque twist 14:30. Does that kill your wrists?

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

Even you are definitely cheating with Van. Van is running circles around you and has a more impressive tool belt.

[@lynnandtimsvlog1685]

Love it ❤ watching from Philippines

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Evan, not intending to put you down but I just don't see you working alone from here forward. It's a two person job to lift the fence and then begin clipping it. The fence is awesome! 👍👍👍

[@CountryViewAcres]

Definitely a 2 person job on these long runs.

[@thomasgabriel2213]

Great video, and the fence is coming along nicely. Hopefully you will get a bit more done before you lose Vance. He seems to know a lot about what he is doing and it will be much harder with just you and Rebeca.

[@bolong5701]

two come a long be safer then those things I'd think

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

😊🙏👍❤️

[@xtender5]

Congratulations on a job well done, Evan.

[@fredski53]

Stringing fence is a lot more involved than I thought!

[@ScouseFarm]

Quality job there Gents. I wish I had pipe instead of timber on my garden fence, the rain in the UK isn't exactly kind to timber. The animals wil be very happy grazing in these newly fenced off pastures. 🤝

[@susandixon3970]

This was so interesting. It was very different than how we built fence back in the day. Someone had a wonderful idea updating fence building here in modern days.

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Like the video on the fence Evan , that is a beautiful fence .

[@jasonockerjsj]

Thats a good looking fence.

[@paulborgmann6453]

Awesome video fence looking good

[@marymigliore3396]

Wow, so much work !! I'll bet You are glad that part is over with . I LOVE YOU BOTH !!

[@richardleigh1762]

Great job Evan .

[@johninnorthcarolina3696]

It's always impressive to see a talent such as Van doing his work and as willing as he is to share his knowledge and skills with all of us. Truly a skilled professional and the work you guys are doing shows it off well. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@michellegerrard6623]

Very tickled ❤😂

[@notgiven911]

Hi, on this 1200' pull, how many H braces did you have in the middle of the fence? My property has 1800' deep and about 750 wide. I am trying to figure how many H or HH braces I should put in. I am planning on welded pipe braces anchored in the ground with concrete footing. Appreciate your advice.. thanks, Farhan

[@ramman6250]

This used to be my favorite KZbin channel, until this video. I really enjoyed watching the normal guy work on his farm, as I do..to make things work using common sense and keeping it real. However, since you decided to turn your channel into an unrealistic info-mercial channel by having Baekert supply the fencing/help, it's nothing more than showing that you suck up for sponsors. Unsubscribed. Adios.

[@popmarbles6980]

Evan, you need a bunk room for guests - I just happen to know that you will not have power down on your farm and you and wife can cook anything with the set you have... I like the fence set up - you did your homework on this fencing. And there are videos on bed-n-breakfast rental going over now days, just an idea. Also, with the Bekaert company man helping out you have a how-to video fencing series. You're going to do good with you tube.

[@winterhorse290]

I’d love to use grapples but they are a bit high in price.

[@johnthompson6656]

As with everything, preparation is key to a great job. And it doesn't hurt that they used enough supplies. Cutting corners is always false economy.

[@Cobalt135]

6:05 is a good heads up moment. The exact same thing can happen using a farm jack ('Hi-Lift' is the brand alot of off road enthusiasts use). Always keep your body out of the arc of the handle. They can and will send you to the hospital when under even moderate tension and they fail to engage or slip out....

[@Kevin_D1]

At 11:30 I didnt think you had enough a$$ to tighten up that fence. 😁😁😁😁However, you got her done. Fence looks nice.

[@dalerose1694]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@DUEYZ4U]

👍👍

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Evan nice fencing beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@davidyoudontcare3562]

you probably want to re-watch your own video for safety issues. to me it seems like you are always hanging out in the kill zone of the chain walker after you are done walking it.

[@moomoocho1196]

Looking good Evan!

[@talktech1]

At 9:19 you're very lucky you had a good hold on bar in case it came loose. Otherwise, ouch.

[@spb81]

i've put up miles of fencing with my dad. We had a tensioning tool which we chained to the tow ball of a ute, the tool then clamped over the fence. Drive forward and it tensions the fence, tie off and done.

[@richolley1878]

Just live the dream

[@almamoore8446]

good going. Its so hot here in Fl, that the animals are hiding out in the swamp and we are thankful for AC

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Hello Evan and Rebekah, thanks for another great video!

[@farmerl561]

Man if those bars had a 10 spike on the bottom you push in the ground to help hold them up that would make it easier for a solo guy

[@derekadams729]

Awesome job on your fence. Having Van there to assist and educate you is a huge bonus. God bless you and Rebecca.

[@albertlovshin7791]

What areyou trying to keep out or in ? Sent another huge lump of money rich man!

[@alexandremichelgeorgesstie7053]

Should you put like color/reflexive ribbons that move with the wind along the fence to make sure birds and perhaps other animals don’t hit it? Including drivers.

[@cathiwim]

Cant fix drivers

[@rayl3329]

Vance has probably installed a fence or two.

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

The wife says that your fence looks sweet!

[@morrismiller9314]

What is the wire connector called on the 600 feet long t post?

[@joedangler3565]

Do you trim the excess wire off the Gripple or leave the wires long? You didn't film trimming them so I assume you left them long. Just wondering for my fence project.

[@keithtaylor3259]

On the TClip you bend the wire under and cut it off under the body of the clip so you have no edges. The joiners you simply roll the end over the line wire and cut it off smooth.

[@DaleHaunschild-ce5yb]

Bekhaert knows advertising! Highly instructional for all the DiY out there. Good job all the way around.

[@ebommarito9184]

Where is a good place to buy a lot of that fencing?

[@da1shark]

This is the company that sells the Bullet Fence Brace kits for pipe fencing I mentioned several months back when you were welding the pipe braces. The brace kits are for those who do not have a welder (portable or don’t know how) or the conditions are too dry that could start a fire. BTW, The fence looks absolutely great! I heard you say you planned to run a single strand of barb wire at bottom. I guess you run that last? We always ran one at bottom and one at top - keeping the animals from trying to lean over the fence to get grass (like they say grass is always greener on the other side of the fence). But with that strong wire it may prevent an animal from leaning over it. We never used the high tensile type wire - looks like the way to go to last a long time. Just will need to spray to keep brush and trees from growing up around it.

[@vanmedley3413]

Using barbed wire or electrified high tensile are both great options for topper lines. Evan left plenty of post to add a line in top of the fence in the future if he decides he needs it in the future. With larger livestock I would recommend it to prevent them from pressing down on the top of the fence.

[@mimicolvin3200]

Wow! Van is an awesome fence teacher. He explained the pros and cons. The fence is beautiful and you will enjoy for years to come. Evan thank you for sharing this accomplishment with us. I know Rebecca is proud of you and what you are doing around the farm. Take care from Alabama. We love you both.

[@cathiwim]

They will get a lot of sales from this video and the other one!

[@michelehumann811]

The fence looks AWESOME!!!!!

[@nautilusshell940]

a mouthful of dip and a mans ready to work

[@johanvandeneede8590]

Bekaert is a Belgian company.

[@ardurbin2]

The dynamic FENCE DUO on display. Evan, the sorgham/sudan looks great, you will be surprised at tonage from pasture field. 👍👍👍

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Nice work Evan. Have a great day.

[@stevemartinez6757]

I don't want to say that I'm jealous, but you are very blessed to have such a knowledgeable teacher showing you how to do the job right and make sure that it lasts for several years. One other VERY important thing to point out is that Van stressed and explained how to use the tools safely to keep anyone from getting hurt.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

The fence turned out very nice!!

[@jimbrownlee7434]

This definitely isn't Van's first rodeo. He doesn't mind explaining what and why is doing things. Good show guys!

[@richnusser6079]

That’s a great looking fence guys. You will admire that for years to come.

[@daviddobson1113]

I have watched Van build a lot of fence on u tube he is good. The fence looks awesome good job guy's.

[@vanmedley3413]

Thank you for watching!

[@CHlawn575]

[@vanislandsteve]

👍🏻🇨🇦

[@clintellis4636]

I want to know how many miles of fence Van has put up in his lifetime. Im gonna guess MANY!!!

[@vanmedley3413]

What do you mean this is the first fence I ever built 😂. Just kidding, it is several but more importantly Bekaert has a great team that teaches each other and pushes each other to be better every fence we build!

[@clintellis4636]

@vanmedley3413 i learned a lot by watching these past few videos. Nice work.

[@patrickwiklund2039]

👍

[@helenhelps9619]

👏👏

[@charlesmach7511]

I see your next to a road. I would be concerned that a vehicle looses control and hits the fence.
