    Building fence is hard work but at least it's pretty level where you are, that helps a lot! I hope it keeps the trespassing down to a minimum. We had the same problem but as we got the fence up it helped a lot. Good job 👍

      It's a labor of love, as we say. If you don't enjoy the process, you're gonna hate the whole thing. Its a huge help that the terrain is mostly flat. We haven't had any issues with trespassers since. No foot traffic or tire tracks, which is great!

    Why did y'all not put deadmen in both directions in your "H" braches or wrap the wire around the posts? Ill be honest, ive seen a lot of fence built here in West Texas and thats a first for me!

    • @MiguelNMichellesRanch
      @MiguelNMichellesRanch  11 месяцев назад

      Out here, I've only seen deadmen brace if it's a single corner post, no H brace. Most fences I've seen do one or the other. I tried wrapping the wire around the post, and it didn't come out too well, so we went this route. This is just what worked for us. But, to each their own.

    • @BillGrigg-nn7xu
      @BillGrigg-nn7xu 11 месяцев назад +2

      Yes sir, what ever works!! On your next fence consider putting the wire on the side of the post that the stock will primarily be on, they tend to push the wire off the post if its opposite!

      Well, hello neighbor! We used an earth auger, dug about 3 feet, put them in the grown, and packed the dirt around them. No concrete. Wish I had recorded it. But the channel idea hadn't occurred to us yet!

    Just a little metric nerd here to point out that the 660ft mentioned in your thumbnail is roughly 200m. I'm even willing to bet the wire was manufactured + sold as 100m rolls. (Note, I haven't watched the video yet)

    • @MiguelNMichellesRanch
      @MiguelNMichellesRanch  11 месяцев назад +1

      It was a good guess lol but the rolls I purchased were 1320ft rolls, which is a little over 400m. We only needed two rolls for that one side.
