    As someone who has watched a thousand how-to videos on youtube, this one is perfect. All the info needed without a lot of useless jib-jab and wasted camera time as you spend two minutes drilling a hole or explaining what tools will be needed to complete the job, etc.
    When you're finished covering all the farming stuff, please consider doing a how-to video on how to do a how-to video.

    I've taught for 40 years. I've also used video a lot in my presentations. You have a great ability to narrow down what's important and make your presentation precise. Other DIY videos guys on RUclips make you watch as they hammer in the third nail. You video the first occurrence of each step then assume that your learner is smart enough to duplicate that as many times as necessary also using slip time to show the passage of time to the completion of that task. Very well done and helpful. As a suggestion, you might want to mention the names of all of your tools and fittings, eg. "crimping ferrels" for the tension wire, so DYI dummies like me will know what to ask for when we go to Tractor Supply or Home Depot :).

    ** TIP - using your technique of tensioning, install a horizonal member between the temporary tensioning post and your end post, to avoid concern of bending the post. You don't even need the temporary post to be secure in the ground. I used 3/8" steel pins to do this. ** I installed my first farm fence 15 years ago. There are better "how to" resources today - this video! A few of my posts have rotted and I need to redo 3 sides. I am interested to see you used the same technique of boards to stretch, BUT you did something critically different - wrapping the wire! I remember mine all slipped. Using a tractor I had not considered - I set an extra pole, which required digging two extra holes per corner. I also used 3/8" round stock to pin the braces, but I like your method - much faster. This is great - thank you.

    This video was Very helpful & Very inspiring. I was thinking I could not do this by myself until I watched your video. Thanks so much for making it. My fence is 50" tall so my corner horizontal posts needed to be taller, which meant I couldn't support the horizontal post with my knee. To solve that (I thought, what would Pete do?) I put a large V-notch on the ends of two 4'x2"x8" boards and leaned them against the corner vertical posts so I could rest the horizontal posts in the V-notch while I drilled the holes & put the spikes in. It was easy enough to kick the bottom of the boards to make the horizontal post go up or down to get it level. Now, if I could just think of a use for that bucket of vertical woven wire pieces.

    This is the best video I've seen on putting up woven wire. Every farmer has a little bit different way of building fence, usually passed down from one generation to the next. I would suggest wearing safety glasses especially when putting tension (we call it stretching) the wire. If you've ever seen a strand of barbed wire break while being stretched, it will make a believer out of you. A fencing contractor I know, who has built many miles of fence, nearly lost an eye when a fence steeple came loose and hit him in the eye while he was pounding it into a post.

    HI there Pete. Great video...I agree that some videos get a bit long. In NZ we call them Netting fences. They are 900mm high and may have a wire at the top and bottom. The wire at the top could be set up to be hot. I like the way you strained your corner posts. That way you can come back and tension it later.

    I had my doubts at first, for whatever dumb reasons, but...wow. Excellent video. Thorough, efficient, no fluff instruction. What really stands out, IMHO, is your vocabulary and terminology. It makes a big difference, understanding better, on my end. I've watched a few, and I still had a few questions, particularly on stretching and the corner wires. I really appreciate your video. I feel more confident in how and why to do what I need to. Thank you. Btw, my own vocab, terminology, punctuation, spelling, etc. is horrible, I know, but I still feel I'm correct in recognizing how good his is.

    Here in the UK we generally put 1 or 2 strands or barbed wire above the woven wire (netting) which stops the cattle pushing the netting down. They will push it down despite you tensioning it. I was really interested to see you taking out all the verticals. We just attach the horizontal wires to the post and then bend those wires back over the staple and add another staple to pinch it off. Beautiful job.

    @regappleby 4 года назад

    Pete, I hook the wire inside (ie post side) the loop then the outside of the loop - this helps hinder any slipping of the wire longer term. Also when you do the other end and cut the wire inside the tension board, I prefer to do it the other side, so when the tension board is released the knot as tighten up with the strain.

  • @Russell-vn5yn
    @Russell-vn5yn Год назад

    I'm putting up some more fence & I'm watching this again to make sure I get it right. The first time around I should have taken a few notes as it's easy to forget some things when you're in the thick of things & it's hot & humid. My fence is actually 60" tall (not 50") and I could not get the fence to "stand up" like on the video. I had to go down the line and tie it off to each post with some wire which resulted in a wavy ripple all along the length of the fence which would not completely stretch out no matter how hard I cranked on the come-along. I thought my wooden anchor post was going to snap, maybe. I wonder if there's a good trick for standing up such a tall fence?
    I'm really glad I used the ratchet type tensioners, as the 2"x4" openings of my fence made it difficult in a few places to find room to wrap the horizontal wires around the posts and I had to un-tension the corner brace wire to give myself enough room. With this smaller fence opening I used a wire bending tool, I couldn't imagine not using one with these small openings.
    Again, fantastic video! Thanks for making it.

    Very nice sharp-looking fence when you got done. Your method for building fence is about 95% the same as we used to build fence. However a few of the things you did are probably better than the way we did it. But our method seemed to work, I guess. Too bad we didn't have RUclips back in the days when we were building fence, as we could have picked up a few better ideas from you.

    I highly recommend lag bolts versus nailing the horizontal. Lag keeps it tighter over the years when things start to relax. I realize the tension wire should do that job, but the number of times I've had to re nail a horizontal due to neglect is crazy.

      Hi Almin, I need to build a fence around my garden to keep deer, bear and rabbits out of it. I have cedar posts and woven wire with small holes in the bottom and larger ones going up. Since the I want to keep animals out, I thought of placing the wire on the outside of the posts, by doing so I would use the whole length of the post plus the nails to hold any pressure instead of placing the wire on the inside (like Peter) and leave all the pressure just on the nails. Would that work or should I stick with Peter’s method to have a better fence? Thanks

    I ran 600 feet of woven wire about 2 months ago, i used the wedge loc system for the corners with t post. I think it will hold up as i was just using it for the dog and to keep deer out of the garden. I would not recommend them for strength even though I've seen other people use them for cattle. Someday when I get some land I will be using wood post like you have to keep it tight. Very informative video, and just like you said I had to watch tons of videos to find what you explained in 14 min.

      @@wrgoinlive here is the link at tractor supply. Hope this helps, i needed 6 corners and had to go to 2 different stores because they dont keep many in stock. So make sure you have all your materials before you start. Don't beat on them too hard trying to get them on they are strong once you have the wire tight but not really before. Watch videos because the instructions are junk, also make your support post further away than what the instructions say. It's hard to explain in writing. It says if you have a 6 foot post, put your support 5.5 away. I would do 6 if I had to do it again, because then the lock is right at the top of the corner and there is no room to wrap your top wire. Mine were already set once I started pulling wire and my dogs only 35 lbs so I let it go. Good luck!
