The A B C's of building hi-tensile fence.

The A B C's of building hi-tensile fence. Once you build your first hi-tensile fence you will never go back to barb wire fence! Check out my books on our website:greenpasturesfarm.net for more fencing tips.

When I drive Timeless Posts, I use a pounder that I welded an extension on the pipe at the right length so that when it bottomes out on the ground the post is at the right hight. I never measure a single time

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

I was cringing every time he reached for that tape measure I've done the same thing myself

We premeasure and mark ours prior to driving in as we don't have the ability to weld here, but your idea is a GREAT one!

Hi Greg. A thought to save some time. Get a gauge stick or permanent mark on you driver to check you post height instead of stopping and measuring with a tape. Thanks for all the videos!

[@wadepatton2433]

As I've seen in a another video of Greg's, probably with a different post (undrilled I think) they've learned to drive them until the driver hits dirt. No measuring at all-until time to drill--and then I'd have a stick cut with notches or holes to guide the start of the holes. I

He only needs to measure that post to the height of the riveton the bottom of his front pocket, does not need measuring tape.

That was bugging me to. Though I just thought he should leave the tape spooled out or just use a yard stick or something similar.

You should keep some elecrolytes like Ultima packets or NUUN tablets or something like that for emergencies. I've done first responding at events and people get busy with what they are doing and they forget to add electrolytes until it is nearly too late. Having some on hand is a great way to de-escalate a bad situation (possibly in a first aid kit on the 4x4). You guys are out every day in the heat and you do make sure even your cattle get minerals.

How do you paint the posts or do they come painted?

[@Jerryshipping12]

Just cut a stick the length you want the post above the ground so you don’t have to measure each post..

[@Gmanboobies]

Just use the damn post driver as your measurement device

Greg (or others), I’m planning my own high tensile fence currently and I’m wondering how often, or at all, do you place an H brace on fairly flat and straight terrain?

We only use H braces at the end or at gates.

I built a 5 wire perimeter fence for my wooly sheep and I used the 1.75" x 4.5' Timeless post. I had some pretty soft ground so I wanted to get the post root pretty deep in the ground. Top wire at 31" and bottom at 3". It's working so well, I think it's a bit overkill

Can we use our existing T-Posts too?

You can, but it has its issues. Much harder to keep your fence hot when you have a hot wire resting next to a whole line of steel posts (ground rods)

Is that a string on the ground

Polybraid string that we pull tight which gives us a straight line to drive posts next to.

Is it better to thread the high-tensile wire through the pre-drilled holes or tie the high-tensile wire to the post with the soft 12-gauge wire in a woods? Which method of fastening the high-tensile wire to the post holds up better when a tree or limb falls on the fence?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Either method will work. We have fence erected through woods with each fastening method. We just cut a big tree limb off of our Timeless fence last week. The fence was laying over pretty well with the limb weight on it. Once we cut the limb off, the fence posts popped right back up to its original position. I love Timeless Posts, they are simply the best post made in my opinion!
