These Boys Build The Best Fence You'll Ever See (By Hand)

This is the kind of video you stumble into when browsing youtube late at night when you should have been asleep a long time ago 😂

@@SWiFence good stuff though! It's interesting to see what it takes to make a top notch fence. One of those things you don't think about as someone who has never put up a fence in his life

Full time high country fencer from NZ here. Not trying to provoke just thought i would mention the differences in names and techniques. And I do not claim to be the best fencer around, far from it but been doing it along time. Should be rounding top of those strainers iswell. Helps prevent water sitting and rotting top of post. Also looks nice. Also your “struts” are what we call Stays or stay post. “King” post we just call end strainer or just Stainers. The wooden wire inserts are just called battens but usually not with the grooves cut out. Typically just staple the battens to the wire. I assume these are for competition purposes to be easier to remove. Keep up the good content Cheers.

Ag fencers are a different breed man. It’s fun learning about this type of fence. Thanks for the video!

[@SWiFence]

You bet!

[@MAGAMAN]

This was more interesting than any sportsball game in existence.

[@SWiFence]

Not gonna disagree with you! 😄

I like those metal post that you like using.

I need some training like this for my future ranch home 🙃

When I was fencing my farm I never used a tape measure it was all marked on the post rammer. The stay I would use a big mallet and hammer x2 wedged shape pegs cut out of a post about 2foot long and hammer those behind the stay plate which would force the stay into the strainer post… in New Zealand we call a king post a strainer post which makes sense because it takes all the strain of the wire. What you call a brace we call a stay because we want the strainer to stay.

NVP fence based in Utah USA I use them in Canada they are great! A ton of colours and no dig style.

Nice One Thanks again

[@garethhoward6689]

I'm no fencer from nz I oversize my strainer posts concrete them in round the tops off at least 5 winds on termination.

[@Cabbage327]

I am from New zealand and fencing still dun like this in the steep hills where tractor rammer can't go

Craftsman!

[@iancarr7619]

Ranch rail with horse wire of buck fence.. I would challenge anyone… this stuff is something else tho. Hand fencing with wood is on another level.

[@Marines_6711]

I bet you guys couldn’t come down to my farm and put up fencing there. I double dog dare you. Lol

[@BadTB25]

@SWI Fence, do you guys do jobs down here in Melbourne, Florida? I'm interested in doing a no-dig fence for my home

[@SWiFence]

Not currently, no. 😞

[@BadTB25]

@@SWiFence That's too bad. Thx for the reply

[@BrianFrost-ww1te]

Thats primo ground . Not much ground like that round my way. I worked in NZ fencing in Omarama for a guy named Ross Mcleod many years ago. He was a top bloke. Hope he is well and still fencing. All the best from a Scottish fencer. Btw those posts wont hold as you need to fill them with post mix, concrete or better still use foam. Hahaha the modern day fencers way. Dig a hole and fill it with dollars! Bonkers!

[@mbm2355]

I am just amazed at the soil y'all have to work. I'm in Texas hill-country, and where I'm at you get 4-6 inches of soil (if you're lucky) then straight up rock. Starts with 1.5" 'baserock' sized stuff at the surface and to about 4" deep. Then 2-3" baseball sized rocks at 6" deep, then the bowling balls, then suitcase-sized rocks by the time you get to the 18in mark. To set a single fence post 18" deep you literally need breaker bars and a jackhammer. Sounds ridiculous - and it is!

[@thebighectares]

It's swings and roundabouts though, can't really use anything metal for permanent fencing in NZ cause it'll just rust off, whereas I bet you can.

[@chargermopar]

Something you will never ever see in Miami, white guys in tank tops building a fence. Oh and I dare anyone to try those "1 man augers" in our coral rock!

[@GirthosaurusRex]

Building it by hand as opposed with your feet

[@SWiFence]

😆 I mean... I kind of meant more as opposed to by machine, like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHfSm32uZdN7eLc

@ I think I found that video through you. Awesome machinery. Love your vids. Learned a lot

[@johndeeerefarming101]

So, the brace, (kicker as I call it) goes to a block. Um that block is potentially on someone else property (crossing over the wire, fence line, boundary, property line) terrible brace. Need a brace that can be sustained on your property!

[@SWiFence]

I don't think this is a problem for most folks.

[@BrianFrost-ww1te]

@@johndeeerefarming101 Um... no its not, Its common practice and works well and although other in-line methods are an option I think you would find something wrong with that too. I bet you would complain about the stapled side being on " your property" and wouldnt be willing to give an inch on the line so the fencer and yourself would have an easier job and better fence at the end of the day. Stop picking holes in others perfectly good and sound work. Its a buried piece of wood and for the record its not your property. You cant own the earth just because you have money and a piece of paper that says so.

[@toadwine7654]

if its made of wood it simply cant be the best fence. it rots and you could make something better in every single way with some aluminum pipe or even angle iron

[@GT-yw8ue]

25 year guarantee on the fencing I do that's wooden posts 20% the cost of the metal post equivalent. Its good enough for cattle and wind farms etc... the metal posts are more used for areas that are concrete etc
