the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@MC-mr7yc]

Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to do things on our farms. I grew up in a farm, but was never got to do much like this. As a female, my Dad thought we woman should be in the kitchen or house. But now I have my own farm and I'm trying to do this with my husband. My husband has never been on a farm, so we are learning together. Thank you so much!!!

[@deathreaper9486]

I'm not sure were you buy your t-post from. I get mine from tractor supply and the post clips are free with post purchases. 25 per package.

[@davidswenk2483]

“It’s just my wife here, be nice to have some guys help. Anyways…” 😂😂😂

[@michelerunyon9593]

It’s just me here lol me myself and I putting in a fence wish me luck please. I’m not a spring chicken lol

[@ruthgroves509]

Same, and I'm the 70 year old wife. 😂

[@GmaAlice]

The fence looks nice. You and your wife did a great job. I agree about the price difference. Hope y'all have a good day!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you so much.

[@TheWickerShireProject]

Refreshing my knowledge here. Lowes is a winner on this project. Plus its much closer to me living out in the woods. Worth driving 35 miles.

[@tcotroneo]

I did two sections of fence, 100 linear feet, by myself! That was one of the most painstaking jobs I’ve ever done! That extra hand to hold the fence up while you secure the fence to the first fence post is invaluable...

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍

[@Hawk-hk8ee]

Need to get yourself a good pair of Irwin Grips, they're the best for an extra pair of hands for us solo folk

[@candacedillon97]

We have wrapped around a corner post to help with that before.

[@qualityassurance9523]

thanks for posting we put fence up last year and the wire was put on the inside of the posts and I am sure glad we did because our goats and sheep love to rub along the fence pushing constantly and the fence has held up very well. good audio and presentation thank you again

[@chelseathompson8598]

It must be nice to install fence on flat ground!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yeah with this type of fence, it has to be flat.

[@roosterd4331]

Yes, it's very nice to install on flat level ground😉.

[@milesgoode7201]

Tell me about it ... I stretched by hand pulling on my back bank , nothing flat about it .. lol

[@GermanShepherdDaphne]

Omg ikr. I live in the Appalachian mountains on the border of PA and NY

[@Mikedwon]

I have done both and you are not kidding. So much easier. When the hill was straight it was easy.

[@monikita777]

Hey there Pete, nice instructional video. I'm putting up this type of fence, hopefully soon. This video helped a bunch with what I need to do. Awesome information!

[@gemajams]

Glad I found this, I bought this fence to put around my garden. Not many tutorials on this. Thanks

[@graceunderfire1717]

I am so relieved to find this video! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! Finally will be able to put an affordable fence up for my dog and have peace of mind along with security!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Glad it was helpful 🙂

[@caselighthouse]

Great video! Sensible, cost effective, and efficient to build! Thank you! Appreciate your work!

[@FF-hd3ux]

Thank you for your video. Just what I needed to see to start my dog fence. I've been looking for an easy cheap way and I think you have answered my question. Thank you.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍🙂

[@OGeeB9340]

Rad 🤙🏼 I’ll be using this for my fence this year! Thanks for the video!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Awesome thanks 👍

[@abbibrannan333]

Wow, great job putting up that nice tall wire fence. Just what I need for the deer eat everything. Also need a few guys to put the post in second after 811. Enjoyed the good instruction, Thank YOU!

[@MrFakhar59]

Your method is very simple and helping. The way you explain much appreciated

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you

[@johnboy755]

Funny looking winch , we call that a come along here.

[@jkwo2007]

Right, we call it come along too. In a narrow space where you cannot deploy your pickup or jeep's front winch, this is the good stuff to use. I used it on more than one occasion to pull my side yards' tilting wood fences back before I drove some braces into the ground to support them.

[@haelimchon9477]

I just checked quite a few other youtubers link for wire fence installation and I think this is the easiest way for me to do. Thank you!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Awesome, I'm glad the video was helpful.

[@truthbetold1976]

Awesome! Thank you for your excellent presentation.

[@jimconrads9515]

1) Awesome garden space...well played! 2) Fencing pliers! It took me a bit to get a hang of them, but they become your best friend, especially holding staples perfectly in place while you pound away and sink it in one or two strokes with a 3lb hammer. They also help twisting T-Post clips into place quick and easy. Glad to see you have the clip twister tool already! Took me a couple of years to stumble upon that one. 3) Always wrap your fencing around any post and tie it onto itself, that provides the most stable structure for the whole fencing system. It takes a little bit to cut out the wires and any fencing hardware already installed, but it will last you a lifetime. Thanks for sharing your efforts!!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Nice video. I bought my fencing material a couple years ago. I haven't put any up, day job keeps getting the way, plus still cleaning fence rows. All from Tractor Supply, 8 rolls of 4"x4" x5' x 330' goat fencing, 22 rolls of barbed wire, 410 t-post, 20 cross post, they gave me the clips, I purchased 50 cross-ties at a railroad repurposing site. Yeap, looking at a lot of work fencing off my 9 acre Cajun Homestead. Again, love video.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you, Yeah that definitely sounds like a lot of work.

[@OKCorgiRanch]

Same at TSC here. Buy the t-posts and they have a huge barrel full of those bags of clips and they let you help yourself to them. Better pricing on the fencing, too.

[@stubt7890]

Wow, I wish I'd have known about the clip bender in 2012 when I put up 2 acres of fence around my yard for the dog! 1500' wire fence clipped on by hand with small channel lock pliers. Talk about your sore hands! Also I bought my fence at Tractor Supply and they provided free clips at that time. More than enough!

[@Starkitty1]

❤ thank you. I also have 2 acres and we need to fence it in because we have a wold donkey problem. They destroy everything! Do you think it can be done for 2,000?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

You're going to have to figure out how long the fence is going to be in total. Then you'll know how many feet or rolls of fence to get. Then see how many t-posts to get spaced apart 7 to 8 feet.

[@kevinpillsbury5291]

I have to say, I have watched a few video on this subject and your is the best. Thank you

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@user-yg5eu7jh7p]

I used t post, Lol, Then used the tension pf wire already rolled up, as I went down slope, kept it off ground, had to pull with my hands and let the welded wire pull hard enough to rest past the knpb on the t post. Man it actually worked. Then tying it off with bale wire and u can use techniques that will make it all straighten out!!! I was on budget but it looks good!!!

[@AlokeshBagchi]

Thank you so much, for your nice & kind video! You helped me in saving big money! I was planning to hire a company. God Bless you! Have a Happy Life!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you and God bless you too.

[@bkzagnut]

Aug 9, 2018 What a great looking fence!! Your video was a help in my learning how to use a clip bender. Hubby & I are doing an extra fenced in area for our two mini horses. Thank you very much. I'm sure you'll have a great orchard one day...BTW it's true that Tractor Supply does not charge for the clips... Kay in NC

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Kay M Thank you

[@CharlieTheTexan]

Wish my dad and I knew about that tool while we were putting up barbed wire fences when I was a kid. Would have saved us a lot of time.

[@EricElPescador]

Thanks for the video. Definitely will help me with my fence installation.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Awesome 👍

[@TrumpDesantis-zm3kg]

learned a ton just in how you lay fence out first before attaching to posts.. thanks

[@johnrounsaville4872]

Love the video we bought t posts at tractor Supply and they gave us clips

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍

[@theresaroth3954]

ok your video was the best!! i loved how simple it is. i have deer eating the daylily buds on my farm

[@JP-nz4em]

Thanks for the video! Awesome editing and filming.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@cass5128]

Thanks for this i have to install a fence like this for my rottweiler thanks for helping me keep my dog👍

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍

[@hollyr8788]

Thank you for sharing very helpful, i am looking to build a cat fence and didn't want to spend a lot, I like the T post wire fencing option and then can design something for the top.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you

[@o0o-jd-o0o95]

I like it as well. You can also use some thin wood slats and weave it through the fencing if you want some more privacy

[@danjim7056]

That stake idea is great! I'm always fighting stuff doing it alone.

[@BUTTEWORKS]

Great instructive video for my future fencing project.

[@shannonroy7048]

Awesome thank you I need to put up the same fencing for my yard and this helps so much!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you

[@giddensre]

Great Video! This video was extremely helpful. Very informative.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Glad it was helpful!

[@larrypatterson3957]

I just bought T-Posts at Tractor Supply Company and they gave me the clips for free. Nice perk. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍

[@Laurie_Tinsley]

If you have a Orchelins farm store near you they also give you free clips.

[@scooterfoust4361]

Thank you for making this! I had a giggle at 4:02 because it sounded like you said "I got a wench..." instead of winch. :)

[@dokves6539]

Thank you so much! I really apreciate it. I'll do soon the same as you did! Thanks!

[@jacoblozano5040]

Great job thank you for sharing !

[@thisnthatwithYaya]

Excellent explanation!

[@Laurie_Tinsley]

Thank you for this very informative video. I will be putting up a fence this weekend and your video gave good tips and makes me feel like this wont be such a hard job for a woman to do :)

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

That's great thank you 👍

[@tomhunter7399]

We're buying a farm. This video was helpful and entertaining.

[@trevorallen2274]

Nice job. Thanks for the content.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 🙂

[@davidmuffoletto3853]

In my town I found tpost less expensive at tractor supply and every 5 pack of tpost you buy you get a free bag of wire clips.

[@OwenGilmoreOG]

Thanks will check it out

[@boyoncho1914]

Thank you 👍

[@richardromano4086]

I built my fences here in Oregon , picked up my wire fencing at Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Wilco, but no matter who I got my fence from the clips all came with the T-post depending on the t post length I got it would vary on how many clips I got , 4ft I got 3 ea 6 ft I got 4 ea and 8 ft I got 5 ea

[@anonz975]

Good video and beautiful Dobie!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you very much!

[@tomhunter7399]

Great Hammer. Love that ring!

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Super helpful. Thanks!

[@wansolve2036]

Those wire nails on the end-posts will not hold that fence over time. As the wood ages they will loosen. It's standard to wrap the fence around the end-posts and tie the wires back to themselves. Good video though and great audio.

[@joeodden5326]

Have to agree... taking that gate catch off might be a pain but I guarantee it's less of a pain than having that end tear off and having to re-wire it. If you really didn't want to wrap it around, you could use some big U-bolts, but that's a lot of extra $$ when you really only need another 2' of fence length.

[@burtonkephart6239]

Yes that is standard procedure on these wire fences is to wrap it around the end posts !!! To each his own though.

[@robertmiller2831]

Defiantly wrap and tie on both ends. If you had a pair of fencing pliers you could just cut around the gate latch. You could also use some duct clamps to help secure the first post. Save the good ties for the bottom/top wire to make sure it is secure.

[@Da_cat12]

You did see the size of the wire nails? I have those nails on spit rail fence and I can tell you they don't come out unless the wood rots. And that post, well it's not rotting any time soon.

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

love that perfectly flat land, no problem, no rocks, no problem, no livestock, no problem.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I am grateful for that.

[@arnaldomanoel1448]

vey nice, congratulations. pretty fence

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you

[@oldguysrock2170]

From experience, carry a long telescoping mechanic’s magnet with you. I know, you will drop the tool that bends the clips on the other side of the fence when attaching the clips. A lot easier to use the magnet to retrieve the tool than walk around the fence. Tractor supply sells the tool to bend the clips and it is a one piece with several different size holes in it for different gauge wires. When twisting the clips, the tool fits between the fence squares as you twists the clip, which is why I probably dropped it manipulating the tool, but it works. Your wife is a lot quieter than mine! We do projects together all the time! Mine always flapping her pie hole telling me that holding a beer and trying to use tools is not smart!! 15:53

[@adamtlewis8340]

Great video. Thanks man. Keep it coming

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks, will do!

[@powersp68232]

Those clips come free with T-Post purchase at Tractor Supply. Nice video!

[@Lexgrl83]

Great video! This helps me out a ton. I will be installing one in a couple days only thing is that I don’t believe I will be able to use the pulley to tighten the fence I may just have to wing it. Thanks for all the info and I’m buying the clips at Lowe’s!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks, I hear tractor supply gives you the clips if you buy their t-posts.

[@Lexgrl83]

Pete B. Ok, I will check them out first. Thanks

[@wilassguess]

Beautiful piece of property...I wish you many years of happiness....

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@ErikaVondrak]

Thank you 🙏

[@Green3062]

I would gladly pay 2 to 3 times the price at Home Depot for better quality than go to Lowe's and have to return their crap. Lowe's used to be a good store but now all they sell is sh!tty stuff. I've had to return almost everything I've bought from Lowe's All their power tools except DeWalt are sh!t. Save yourself from a huge headache or just buy a big bottle of aspirn and your favorite booze. You're gonna need it. Great vid! I love the hubby and wife teamwork.

[@matpinato8892]

Good job, thanks for sharing :)

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you

[@keenaconner2108]

Also can use rachet straps if ur stretching it to a corner post.. I would a reckon for anyone wondering.

[@Earthmadegarden]

Tractor supply gives those clips away for free with the fencing

[@guillermocuevas3495]

Very nice - thank you.

[@qualityassurance9523]

also our tposts came with free clips at Tractor Supply and Evans pipe.

[@user-en6vc6ts9y]

Thanks very helpful

[@EHGamrGrL]

Dang! All the fencing videos are done on nice level ground. My property is up and down.

[@deannamartin6827]

You need knotted wire fencing.

[@dp.2766]

A certain number of clips come with each post now at tractor supply, but you have to “remind” the employees, as they are instructed to load your t posts, and let you go.

[@GerryStilton]

Thanks Pete, just what I was looking for, especially the tool and the T-post clips!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

👍

[@drm9397]

Just a quick suggestion... great little tool with the 2x4's! Instead of pulling it tight with the winch, just pull it tight with the tractor! With a hydrostatic trans, you can literally inch it forward as slowly as you want!

[@drinkinbuddy8264]

Nice vid, I learned a lot. Subscribed

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Awesome, thank you!

[@judithbrown7319]

I had not seen a tool like that, but for the price, I will keep using my fence pliers that also cut and hammer wire. A suggestion, you can take an old metal bucket or paint can and make a hanger for it, store your staples and clips in it and fencing tools. It will hang on the wire so you dont have to keep bending over to get something, and easy to store in barn by hanging it too! I would have wrapped the wire around the post just cutting out around the locking thing. I do really like that fenced area!!!! Great job!!!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

[@jeffgehman8344]

T posts sold in my area include the clips, but I suspect a lot of people don't realize it.. Might want to check to make sure you're not buying clips that are actually included. Also, while that clip tool does look pretty slick, for decades I've been installing the clips with a small screwdriver. A screwdriver shorter than the height of 2 fence wire rows works best ... ie if your horizontal fence wires are 4" apart, a screwdriver of 7" or even 6" works good.

[@wesleysriffle]

good video

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good evening to you all
