I'm not sure if this is necessary for you, but it might be useful for someone else. My idea is to insert small PVC pipe sections into the mold at relevant intervals to create holes for running barbed wires. The PVC sections can be removed and reused before the concrete fully cures.
Thank you Mburked for the advise. I preferred to leave the holes, reason being, ill be using binding wire hence not necessary to do the hole. Sometime they weaken the post.
Same here,adding on some holes in that poles will be an advantage for all kind of fence like chain link,barbed,cyclone etc... Anyway good video..keep it up guys
Thank you from West Australia for a very interesting video. I'm thinking to do something similar to make a retaining wall in sections I can lift. Good luck with what you are doing. Vinnie Heffernan
Hi Innocent, Thank you for the subscription and watching. You would need 31 posts + 2 supporters for each corner to fence the entire plot, spacing them 3 meters apart.
now that is a good presentation. i love the idea of this fence posts. i was also thinking about the holes in the post. bensterfarm you can give us a presentation of how you do it less the holes on the post. otherwise am planning to use your idea of fence production. thank you.
Hi! Guy, although I know the process, but I liked to watch and subscribed to help you to reach your goal of 5000 subscribers. Only what I need is, your guys and money...anyway good job...keep going, you are young and strong you can doing a lot with your head and brain...
Good job and helpful.just for your assistance ni chuma gani umetumia kwa mould please. You make a video it will be much helpful.thank u and God bless u much for this

Instead of iron bars. What if tensioned polypropelene plastic (PP) ropes where inserted in the frame. Will this still work and not compromise the integrity of the pilars? Any one with a good experience to help a nosy fella
Hahaha you are not a noisy fella. Using tensioned polypropylene (PP) ropes instead of iron bars (rebar) in a structural frame is unconventional and could significantly compromise the integrity of the pillars and overall structure. Here's why: 1. Material Properties: Strength: Iron bars (rebar) are used in concrete for their high tensile strength, which helps the concrete resist tension forces. Polypropylene ropes, while strong for their intended applications, have a much lower tensile strength compared to steel. Elasticity: Steel has low elasticity, meaning it can maintain its shape and strength under significant stress. Polypropylene ropes, on the other hand, are much more elastic, which means they would stretch under load, potentially leading to structural failure. Durability: Steel rebar is designed to last as long as the concrete structure itself. Polypropylene ropes are susceptible to degradation over time, especially under UV exposure, chemical attack, or environmental stress, which would reduce the lifespan of the structure. 2. Structural Integrity: Load Bearing: The primary function of rebar in reinforced concrete is to bear tensile loads that concrete cannot handle on its own. Without proper tensile reinforcement, concrete structures can crack and fail under tension. Bonding with Concrete: Steel rebar bonds well with concrete, creating a composite material that can handle both compression (by concrete) and tension (by rebar). Polypropylene ropes do not bond with concrete in the same way, which could result in a loss of structural cohesion. 3. Engineering Standards: Code Compliance: Building codes and engineering standards are based on the use of materials like steel rebar for a reason. Substituting rebar with polypropylene ropes would likely violate these codes and could result in unsafe structures. 4. Practical Considerations: Installation: Proper tensioning and anchoring of polypropylene ropes in a concrete structure would be challenging and might not provide the same level of stability and safety as steel rebar. Cost vs. Benefit: While polypropylene ropes might be less expensive, the risks associated with their use in place of steel rebar far outweigh any potential cost savings. Conclusion: Substituting tensioned polypropylene ropes for iron bars in a structural frame is not recommended as it would likely compromise the integrity of the pillars and the overall safety of the structure. Steel rebar is used in reinforced concrete for its specific properties that polypropylene ropes cannot match. If you're considering alternative materials, it's essential to consult with a structural engineer who can ensure that any changes meet safety standards and structural requirements.
@@bensterfarm here's another one i hope you will like, lay wheelbarrow on its side with something under it to lift it up a bit, place a bit of ply in it, proceed to shovel as much sand [whatever] as you want, then you stand on the top leg grip the side with both hands and swing your weight backwards to right the barrow you only need to put something under barrow when your mound of whatever is depleted.i have done it this way for years now ,it is faster and easier, i hope you were able to understand this, i shake my head when i see people doing it the ''normal'' way on the tv. works well with heavy rocks also ,just roll it in , no lifting. best wishes.
That's good idea, but the composite should also include lime or liquid bond, and the size of the bars are a bit large, they can capture moisture and burst the concrete as the rust builds up. Whereas tiny steel bars of a straw size can not overwhelme concrete even if the moisture is retained, it can easily be absorbed by concrete. This is science
Thank you for the reminder Justus. Nowadays people use binding wire n you will never know how many layers of barbed wire you will install. Nimeamua kuwacha tu. Then having those holes weakens the post.
Why are you making one other time when you can make 10 other times. Just make the mould bigger instead of one size. We Africans have the idea but we need to increase the production.
That's a great suggestion, Abdirah. I'll pass it on to those involved in commercializing this, suggesting they consider using a mold with multiple outputs to increase production efficiency.
I'm not sure if this is necessary for you, but it might be useful for someone else. My idea is to insert small PVC pipe sections into the mold at relevant intervals to create holes for running barbed wires. The PVC sections can be removed and reused before the concrete fully cures.

@bensterfarm you welcome estimated cost of kenyan shillings that 31 posts plus labour please?
Great job. One thing I'll do when I pour my concrete is to lay a plastic bag to prevent water draining too fast from the moulds.
Hello Firog, Thank you for the feedback, something i could try next time.

Thank you Sir. Keep watching, lets learn together.
Keep informing us, Good job 🎉
Hello Elder. Thank you for watchjng ..you are always my inspiration for farming.
You could also mold holes in the post to make it easier to install barb wire.
A very good thought, just that on this one i wasnt sure how many levers of barded wire ill install.
Hi, this is good info.. How much labour do the guys charge for making a piece? Do you use a whole bag of cement for one post?
Hi Mary, i need this with my farm team, 1 bag produces 8 to 10 posts
Well done. Mavivi

How many poles can get in one bag of cement
Where can i get the moulds , i need around 5
Hi Crux, your nearest wielder can make one for you.
Good info, but with the cost of D8 steel bar at 700ksh, how do you acheive the 500 ksh per pc?
Hi Muteti.
The actual cost is ksh615 per post.
How long is D8? You need 21 ft per post.
40 ft. One length makes 2 posts!
Good demonstration though i didn't get the measurements of the water needed.Thanks for the video.
Thank you Emmanuel. You mix with water in a ratio you are able to pour the concrete into the mold effortless..just see in the video.
Good video,but you could add some sketches to show dimensions clearly
How poles do you get from 2 wheelbarrow, 11/2dust stone and 1 bag cement. Thanks
Assuming you use 2 wheelbarrows of dust, 2 wheelbarrows of sand, and one bag of cement, you can produce 10 posts.
If you don't have dust depending with how remote you're located let's say extremely countryside the river sand is it okay to use it?
1 DY8 produces how many posts
What is the dust you are talking about that goes in the cement mixture?
6-10mm or quarter.
Awesome
Thank you Nick.
Hae. Can I use wooden moulds ?
Yes, wood will work for straight posts.

Thank you for the advise Sir. Proffesional advise like this is what we need. Very resourseful.
The rebar is too close to the side of the wall in the bend section, it will increase corrosion over time. Other than that looks great
