That’s another great fence video!! Thank you again for your continued support. This industry is better because of you!

Thanks Luke!

[@samfox9872]

Hey Luke and Josh, have you done a test comparing the strength of a H brace and diagonal brace? I thought I remembered a video of this but can't seem to find it! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

[@bay9876]

These guys are taking the joy of having to go out fixing fencing every week. Thanks, for how to build the best and longest-lasting fencing humanly possible.

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

The guys that won the fence off, did an absolute awesome job . Everything was so neat looking and everything just flowed right in place . With an amazing finished look !!! Thanks for taking us along and letting us watch, it was really interesting and I really enjoyed watching it . Thanks !!! 🤗👍❤️💫

Love these fence competition! Unreal craftsmanship! Thanks for bringing it to us Josh 👍

you're very welcome! It was a great weekend learning with these fellas! Got me motivated to start building fences on the farm asap!!

[@patricia.g1651]

Very interesting! I appreciate Mr Wilson walking us along the fence and explaining what made the Langley fence the winner.

[@46rambo49]

this is GREAT!! I'll wager none of those fellas and their fancy equipment ever had to do it the way I started, On a horse with two pack horses hauling supplies in the back country of Colorado above 8000 feet in elevation. Fence posts are where ya find them and good grass and water for the horses

[@alaskacanoe6837]

I used to live in the lower 48 where frost was often not an issue,.. up here in Alaska the driven posts would be jacked out of the ground first year.. your fence would look like Dr Suess was involved.. Frost jacks fences.. in order to make a fence stay perfect for basically ever we use Helical piles .. just drill them below the frost line.. 8 feet deep and then your gold.. its all about LOCATION location location ..

Josh, I believe you did a driveway fence video with you adding some solar lights to it,and now I can’t find it. Can you send me the link to those lights plz?

[@JamesArthurKayak]

Do companies in the northeast instal fence in the winter? I’d love to do some fence work when the outdoor masonry slows down

[@caseynix1199]

Hey Josh I been pondering this question for awhile. When would I need to use concrete for setting fence posts and do I need to use treated lumber? I notice that in just about every video i ever see about livestock fence they never use concrete but they do on privacy fence. I'm new to this all and have been watching your videos and learning lots. Thanks!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

when ya dig a hole and put in a privacy fence...it's necessary...when you drive posts and build bracing systems like this it isn't. Driving the post into virgin ground saves you from having to use concrete. Two totally different grades of fencing my friend. Typical privacy fence isn't as strong and the posts are simple 4x4 posts. You need treated posts for anything that contacts earth or will be exposed to prolonged moisture

[@fmeach7711]

That's some mighty fancy fencing. Mine didn't quite turn out that way.

[@kipcarroll5644]

Can't believe it's been a year since the last fence competition !!!!!!

[@davidvanderwesthuizen9628]

Hi guys, great workmanship! not sure what wood you are using and how its has been treated? I'm curious how long would these posts last? 15/20/25yrs+? before they rot? I'm a cattle farmer in south africa and fencing has suddenly become very expensive..

[@joanroberts7596]

I wish you would have shown how they spiced the wire.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

piles of great fencing info on the channel....look at the fencing playlist and you'll find every piece of info you'll ever want....you might have to dig for a little research

[@sknerl]

There are a ton of folks who lost fences due to the fires in SouthEast Nebraska and 20000 acres burned near Halsey, NE. If a contest could be held on this unique land…you could also see a win/win for ranchers as well. Something to consider. I know that sandy soil in a unique terrain has its own challenges. Would be fun all the way around and likely could get some great promotion and donations. Just some thoughts. Love to learn. Thank you for making quality content.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

ranchers and farmer's have insurance my friend...this is about education and competition...I agree...it seems a waste from the outside looking in...however think of this as a textbook for fencers

[@KuzweKanfarms]

[@thomasarnold2465]

Hello . What happens to the fences when there done ?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

tons of questions about this being a waste....this is teaching, learning and growing professionally. The fence materials are typically re-used or re-sold, however they are donated by the sponsors of this competition and educational weekend so it's not being wasteful any more than a medical book is wasteful to a medical student...it's all part of this career path my friend

[@farmfencesolutionsllc]

We leave the fences up until next year’s Fall Fence Forum so that we can see how they aged. Once we tear them out, the posts and wire are saved and donated. Generally those materials will go to a natural disaster area like a tornado or hurricane, but we also use them for local groups and continued education. This year, we will build a new goat facility for the local FFA chapter with many of the materials from last year’s event. Of course, we do destroy our fair share of the materials, but that is the nature of the beast when we are learning!

this is meant for education and competition...some see this as a waste...however it's about learning. Materials are donated by various sponsor companies and used for competition and education, much like a textbook in school or a piece of metal used in a high school metal shop class

[@Trucker1487]

If you need fences built on the farm, next year you could host a competition and get some free labor!!!😳

[@andrewTTSS]

Would be great if the techniques not already shown in earlier videos, could be demonstrated. For instance the barbed wire figure of 8. Netting figure 8, showing how to keep the gap correct. H brace wiring tied to avoid trapping risk. Personally I would like to know how to add a foot without an auger. P.S. specification of posts used. 10ft by 10inch strainer……

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

my friend...this is a fencing competition... it takes dedicated time to teach the techniques and during competition there's no time to slow down and teach...more teaching vids coming soon on the channel for sure

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

the bracing on that corner pull is pretty standard in the industry my friend ....glad ya enjoyed the vid for sure!

[@franksfamily]

Banging wood into the dirt, no thanks. Up here in the Pacific Northwest it just doesn't last. Concrete fence posts are the ticket up here. Cast them in 4" or 6" round thinwall PVC pipe with a piece of rebar down the center. Then just press them into the ground when its the soft and muddy time of year.
