I watched your videos years ago and thanks to you I have been impressing peaple and supporting my family ever since.many thanks .
A fantastic video. Great location . No noise except Allen the Frenchman and pinging wires. Very Inspirational. thanks for sharing.
After seeing your vid I used the 'Taihape knot' all last week helping a mate maintain some fencing, I'm new to fencing but I picked it up pretty quickly. My mate's been farming for over twenty years and now uses the 'Taihape knot' too.
Thank you for sharing it was a great help.

Taihape, my home town.
These videos have been a great help, thank you. Your workmanship is something to aspire to!
I am putting up wire fences for my goats and I used this knot. Loved it!
I am the person in front of the camera. The wire we use is high tensile and has a breaking strain of 700kg. When you twist it across the grain it will snap off much like the branch of a tree.
Good job, just tried it out on a fence at home, Thanks... and its an easy knot/joint!
Is a good video with close ups and clarity. Fencing is a difficult task installing as well as removal and making it easier is in every ones best interest.
It's great seeing a learnt skill in action. Amazing :-)
Good video boys. Respect from an Irish farmer
Thanks, came across this video as I'm going to need to do some fencing soon. Very informative for me.
This guy is a true fencing master he's what all of us American fence builders aspire to be he's forgotten more than we know keep up the great work
@Wroger Wroger
Cause he has the choice not to.
@Wroger Wroger
He probably should but...
@Wroger Wroger if you learn to how to work so the wire arc length will never reach your face you don't need glasses. I use ballistic goggles just because you make mistakes when tired. It's not a hugely reckless thing to not wear anything if you know exactly what a fence can do
Hes like okay haha any cunt who has their head screwed on right can do just as well

Thanks for the vid. Much appreciated...
Very professional well done it goes to show that practice makes perfect.
Thanks for the tips.
a master craftsman!
I like that knot !
It is one of the harder works , today there are a lot of new machines so fieldwork become easyer ,keepon being a hard work anyway when you have to dig among rocks.
Good job.
Awesome - good work...
great videos nice to see a skilled fencer at work and one that takes pride in there work is that a tex brown knot your using to join the wires ? would it work on 3.15mm high tensile line wires ?
Cheers mate. This was one of the more challenging lines I've done and I've been doing it twenty years. Ironically it is on my own farm. If it was for someone else I might have had second thoughts.
Do you want to come and help me batten it? Only seven hundred metres to go.
great workmanship there , love the figure 8 knot ,and the attention put in to the straining post. Tools are razor sharp.have a look at the shavings coming from the saw :D
Thankyou
That was sick 👌
Never seen a full bull wire fence before. Here in Northern Ireland it's sheep wire with 1 strain of barb below and 2 or 3 strains above then the ole boys with only cattle and does their own fencing works with only barb wire but this is rare now. Only time bull wire is used as a support wire twisted between the strainer and it's support post or as a bottom strain under the sheep wire. Love this kind of work
Absolutely briliant skills
@cyberprop
Plain wire and batten fence better suits the undulating land that we have in most of rural New Zealand. It is far easier to deal with in challenging conditions and is a lot cheaper per length.
On the right terrain netting is ideal and quick and easy to erect but can be a nightmare to tighten when you have to go over hills and through hollows.
We don't use a lot of barbed wire in this country anymore. We prefer to use either more wires or use electric wires.
This particular fence was built with 2.5mm high tensile wire which is commonplace in NZ though 3.15mm HT is becoming popular. Before this all the fences were built with 4mm (No8) mild steel wire which is good stuff but it needs to be pre stretched and it does lose its tension over time whereas the HT wire holds its tension for ever providing the fence is built properly. The posts are 600-700mm in the ground and the strainers are 1500mm in the ground.
Gosh, You’re great at this! I’m so frustrated and when I look at this, you make me feel terrible! It reminds me of how I suture up a wound! You know knots so well, and just rip them off like I do! But I just cannot work the high tensile wire like you do! It breaks for me, when I don’t want it to! You seem to be able to command it like a total pro! Which you certainly ARE! I sure wish I could find someone like you to help me! I like to do things on my hobby farm, myself! I cannot find anyone to help that knows what to do! Maybe I should move to Australia!
I’m so frustrated and need help!
This bloke has some good tips to and he shows technique carefully too.

What type of fence is stronger and more useful, this type of fence that shows the video or other such as tite grip or xfence?
good vids
Its really good i wish you can come to do my fence garden for my roses, thank you.
This is how I do mine. Showed to me by Neville Prince from Waratah
Hey, thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed these videos and wish you would put some more up. What spacing do you use for your 9 strands?
1500mm deep? that's one solid strainer. Got to agree with your comment on Strainrite monkeys, always use them myself, never let me down. One thing I've stopped doing is nailing staples dead onto wire due to galvanised coating damage, too many weak points being created.
I love fixing fences
Ok I see... awesome.
Great filming of his forearm
BRAVO ! ! ! ! !
The Restraint of Beasts innit
What is this fence for? Was thinking about using some sturdy galvanized steel cable (3 strands) for horse fencing. Sound reasonable?
what are the advantages of the plain wire over using say sheep netting and barb or plain wire? we mainly do 8/80/15 and 2 barbed wire strands. id love to be able to blast holes like that :)
Good idea
wonderful
The wire strainers are called Hayes and are made in New Zealand only I believe. Readly available in Australia and plenty of info on the net for those interested. You are not getting mine.
thats how u make A HOLE for a post i wish that was leagal here in the uk
hi what is that knot called its a beauty
Are those boards that are the in-line stays in between the corners and what kind of wood is that? I noticed they are stapled with no insulators
Yes, uphill, downhill and round corners is a real problem with netting. We solved that problem with the Fence Wire Tensioning Tool. Really worth a look - see our video on RUclips and visit the dedicated website.
good video
this will be better in French because I have not quite understood
is that this fence is electrified?
you do not use barbed wire?
what thickness wire are you using
Hola estoy trabajando en cercos para mi terreno y los tensores que usas no los encuentro en Chile, me puedes decir que nombre le dan en tu país y si conoces una tienda online de confianza que los tenga para ver si puedo comprarlos, gracias
Good to see a gun fencer hard hill country fencer. They hard gentlemen ti find now.
how do u mean putting a foot on strainers I know end an corner strainers can be a bugger for poppin be interestin to see a video or u doin it
nice quad
I am fencing maker here in Mexico, but I would like to see him with barb wire. Interested
Great video, awesome tips. I thoroughly enjoy watching a master work. I am fixing to build a fence for goats and was looking at the woven wire fencing with predator control. I really like the look of this fence and this high tensile smooth wire stuff is new to me. How effective would this fence be at containing goats, and keeping out predators? I have relatively flat ground much flatter than what your dealing with. To contain goats what would be a good post spacing and the spacing of battens between post. Again thanks for posting such a great video.
BTW I meant i like the look of your fence, and how effective is the fence shown in your video at keeping goats in and keeping predators out
Thanks
Jesse Lynch This fence is designed for sheep and cattle in hill country. If you want to contain goats and predators you will need a higher fence with electric outriggers. Goats will challenge any fence. Be careful using netting as they can get their horns stuck in them. Get used to the idea of using electric. It makes animals respect any fence. My suggestion, 1550mm high with two electric outriggers then you've got them.
Otokastation1 what about batten spacing
Goats are difficult to contain behind fences. I would suggest a 1.8m netting fence with a hot outrigger. Make sure the netting is right on the ground so the goats can't crawl underneath. Good luck.
Cost of this fence is between $15-$20 per metre NZD. I use spades, post hole borers and post drivers to put posts in the ground. I build my own spades as I havn't yet seen a decent build commercial spade.
now thats worthy of a video if you havnt already done one. Thanks for taking the time for these ones! a welsh fencer.
How his doing the last cut ?
How can I order it moreover I’m from meddle east region special from Saudi Arabia?
If anyone is wondering what gear he uses.. strainright nz
According to your experience, what is the best fence system? This one that is shown in the video or netting fence like tite grip?
Gday mate I'm a fencer by trade. Netting fence is good for sheep mostly, but the fence you see whether it be 7 or 9 wires is best once battend
What brand wire strainers?
I love the blasting idea, I think I want to find out what it takes to get licensed. I have a post driver with a pilot driver, but when you do get through rock the posts that are larger then the pilot hole still break. What are you using to make the hole for blasting? What are you using for blasting? Here in the US federal law doesn't require a license for binaries as long as you use them where you mix them, allows farmers to use ammonium nitrate for stumps. State law can be more restrictive.
Try a rock spike. If that doesn't work you've got some seriously hard rock and you'll need some serious gear to drill a big enough hole to put in a charge. Let me know how you get on.
is it a Bekaert wire?
My tip to you...Wear saftey glasses when working with wire!!
Craig Muir do you serve cheese with that whine you are whiny maybe I can find a million things wrong with you Bubba starting with your an ass
Theodore Bowers youre never too cool to be safe. it was just a suggestion, not a critique. rather be safe than blind.
Oath bro know a few work mates who've lost an eye
What did you use? I dont think its a tex brown which is what I use but this looks way quicker
I called the knot a "Taihape Knot" simply because that's where I was shown it.
We tested this knots strength and it is 70% the strength of the wire which is the same as a figure 8. This compares to 20%, that of the Tex Brown and double loop knots.
Training is needed to learn the correct tying technique. If its not done properly it can fail completely. Hope you can see enough from the video to work it out. Good luck.
Great video. I am looking to build a sheep fence. I would like to see more detail on how you build a 90 degree corner. Are you still using the floating brace method or H brace?
Do what suits your situation the best. I prefer the diagonal stay method because it is quick and reliable providing it is installed correctly. Be sure that there is a foot on the bottom of the strainer especially if it has been dug in. Good luck.
Corner braces - I just use 2 diagonal struts with a rock or post in the ground to brace struts. Just make sure to line up your struts in the correct direction and retreat all cut ends of the timber (notches and tenons) with some good preservative to make them last longer
what is the height of this fencing
Never going to complain about my ground again!
What is the name of the tool(s) used?
to get even tention fron both ends you have to pull it in the middle not a corner
Otokostation1 I would love to get in touch privately, do you have an email? By the way not spam, I am from NSW, Australia 👍🏼
Are you cutting/knicking the wire ends or do they just break off by themself from work hardening?
kitchencone , change angle of twist 90 degrees, breaks right off, super neat!
More info on blasting a post hole please!!! Farmers/Fencers can't get access to dynamite here in Australia anymore :(
You will need to get an approved handlers certification before you can purchase explosives. Not sure what the rules are in Australia but I'm sure it's possible. You then need to be able to drill the rock. I have pneumatic gear so not a problem. You only need to use a 1/4 to a 1/3 of a stick to crack the rock, any more and you'll end up with a bigger hole than you need.
Otokastation1 ok, i'll make some inquiries
yes a good knot but id say id crimp it faster
when you hear "slowly" that's the time to speed up folks!
Great work guys, wonder if you have tried this product for easy fast and reliable footing ruclips.net/video/l9U4N2x1jY8/видео.html

What's the name of the contractor doing the work?
i can vouch for the fact netting is harder to put up on undulating land we dont have many easy going flat jobs
Don't chuck your wire off cuts on the ground. Have a wire bucket.
He had them all pulled up at same time which is by far the best way as you can correctly adjust each line. Once under tension what order you tie off is up to you.
He picks up wire waste, guaranteed.
see 12:08 He picks them up.
Best fencing unit should possess blunt barbs in a rhombus.
What great tip?
Lovin al those Hayes pullers, don't know what they cost there but on the other side of the world, Canada, they cost $200 each, at a time where gas us about $1.50 per later and a pack a smokes is about $13.00, just for comparison, in my opinion they are the best pullers out there but a little pricey in my part of the world
You are right. The Hayes strainers are good but it depends which batch you get. I bought a set of ten one time and the steel wasn't that good and the wire son cut into them and they started slipping. The manufacturer replaced the lot and I have since worn those out. Strainrite are another good brand also made here in NZ. If you do buy some be sure to cut the springs out and throw them. They are much easier to use without.
How does this man cut / break the wire while twisting it to the other wire?
It's because it's high tensile wire. Twisting it one way and then another, like he did on the video, will cause it to break.
Should definitely be wearing safety glasses when handling wire. One could easily flick up and hit you.
hi, what make is your fencing pliers.
Cresent. The only ones worth buying.
Can you show us how you handle gates? I love the tips.
I don't use any tools to cut the wire. I have a technique for breaking the wire that leaves absolutely no sharp edges much the same as a farrier twisting off horse shoe nails with his hammer. Watch the video closely and you will see how this is done. Good luck
a 9 wire fence wow!? Is that common in NZ? Here in Idaho USA most people do 4 or wire.
Nine wire fences are common here in New Zealand. They need to be sheep proof and are so that cattle can't get their heads through. They work very well and the country is covered in them. Adding a hot wire or two makes them bulletproof.
@@Otokastation1 I run cattle only (about 300 mother cows), i've recently switched to hi tensile wire and i love it. How high is your top wire? What is the spacing layout on a 7 wire fence? So far, my cows respect a 5 wire smooth hi tensile just fine. That is in low pressure areas.
is that cheaper than barbed wire? that's not how we build fence, but looks like you know your stuff. is that hot wire? dont see any insulators. will that hold cattle?
No cattle in that country
@@meyogy2414 Not true
Kg is that Kg*Earth Gravitational Constant?
With this sort of fencing without barbs the stock dont not damage their hide so you get more money for the hides free of cuts.
I realy liked the video but I didn,t here the two company names who make those chain strainers. I don't think they are available in the USA. How can I get some?
+Rainbow Works The chain wire strainers are made by either Hayes or Strainrite. Both are New Zealand companies and have websites. I have worked with wire strainers from all over the world and these two companies make the best ones by far. Nothing else comes close.
Look on e bay for old ones use a bit of sand paper and oil to get the rust off and it will last meany life times
He's fast. So fast I couldn't even see how he did the bloody knot
How many hectares is this station?
468 hectares
That type of fencing is hard on horses. It can cut them up pretty good.
sonseere10 is there any wire that would be good for fencing similar to this? I don't know anything about building and fencing and was thinking 3 strands of (large in diameter) galvanized steel cable but now I don't know?
why would it be hard on horses? THere aren't any barbs. Curious for your opinion.
@@joannab7299 I prefer the thick gauge no climb fencing where the squares are small enough that a horse hoof can not go through. It comes in rolls. Easy to install. Make sure it is placed on the inside of the posts.
@@westonandelin4556 Of course, barbed wire is the worse. Very good for cattle, terrible for horses. The ranch here has the wire fencing. Came that way when the ranch was purchased. No barbs. But so many horses have been cut up on it over the past 5 years. I will never use this kind of fencing again. A horse can get a hoof through the fence. If the hoof gets caught on the wire, and an untrained horse panics, they can rip their leg up pretty bad. Thousands in vet bills. Completely avoidable. I really like thick gauge no climb fencing. Excellent horse fencing.
safety glasses or just be super carful
Very nice, did not wear pretty fast so I will have to watch it really really slow. Beautiful not though
He's in the north island
What was the purpose of this video?
You have the wire on the wrong side of the posts. Assuming that your position @12:41 is the side the animals will be located.
You're mostly right but the terrain changed so much over the length (1.2k) it was just easier to keep it all on one side.
@@Otokastation1 With sheep, it should not matter. If the wiring was to keep horses or cattle in, then it would matter.
