I wish our fence posts lasted longer but in the UK they rot out at the bottom due to the damp weather!! Nice piece of fencing. I enjoy your fencing videos and find them extremely helpful. Thank you 👍
I love how you explain everything in easy bits. Would this fence be suitable for goats with the skirt facing them. They love to force the fences until they are under. I also would like to know if there is an option for an additional skirt on the other side as was asked in a previous comment
Hi Deb. This sort of fencing is very useful for goats. I have used the same setup with great results. There is no such thing as a two sided skirt because of the posts on the other side. If you want a second skirt then you need to add it later but for the purpose described in the video it would be completely unnecessary, complex and liable to ongoing maintenance issues due to the short sections of skirt required. If you are after two sided prevention then I would use electric bottom and top.
Cattle cage is cheap and much sturdier, its gapping at the bottom is much smaller at the bottom to help keep little critters out or in( also strong enough for large hogs. My breeding boar Wilbur weighd well over 400lbs and i never had issues w/ him considering how much hogs like rubbing up against fencing. Off topic; i couldn't tell you how many varieties of veggie and fruit grew around their pens. Feeding scraps from the garden and them turning up everything, i had pumpkins, squash, tomato, watermelon, etc. and when i fed them their slop i could walk around the pens and pick and toss anything growing. The point of that last story is, pigs are natures tiller and very strong and notorious for destroying fencing not to mention if you dont clear the dirt away from the fencing you'll turn their pen into a swimming pool because it won't drain. But with the Cattle cage openings at bottom being narrow but elongated it allows dirt to pass through instead of building up a barrier on the inside trapping water, thus makes cleanup and maintenance easy........and yet not a bulge or break in the fence. I did use chicken wire at the bottom loosely attached to keep the chickens chicks out (just lift wire and rake built up dirt into compost.).
Thanks Tim, this would be the best fencing video you have done,,,,why? Because I am planning on building a new chook enclosure and that mesh fence wire looks the go. I just need to see if they make a taller version, Cheers
are you trying to keep the chooks in or the foxes out? a mate caught a fox halfway through killing all his chooks in an outer suburb of perth. the fence was protected to prevent digging under and was about 7 feet high with a top that flopped both ways. and somehow it still got over it.
Tim how would you the same fence for cattle and dogs? And it's really hard to keep track of what you think the best fence strainer system is, they are always changing. Got a recommendation?
this fence will deter dogs digging under from one side of the fence but what about dogs digging under from the other side? do they make a skirt section for the other side that just clips on?
Do you have wombats where you are? Any issues with them digging under the skirt from outside? We have a wombat who has a burrow under our house and no matter how much you block up his entry holes under the house boundary fence he gets in (little bugger) and my 8 month pup gets out the holes he’s dug under the fence. Just wondering whether spending the money on a new fence with skirt will keep her in if a wombat can still dig under. Thanks for the video 😊
We have a large dog who just rips the wire apart with his teeth and gets out. He only respects electricity when it is working. He doesn't go anywhere. Just the other side of the fence. Its like he feels he is proving a point.
To be honest there is wire and there is wire. I totally get what you are saying about electricity, but I think you would be pleasently surprised by this stuff.
It is a bit funny, because most dogs can jump that fence with ease. And smaller dogs can climb it. If anything it is predominantly a very expensive mental barrier for the dogs and humans. But it looks nice, I give you that😂
Well bugger me, I’ll have to let my bull Arab know it’s a con. Worse fences than this have kept my dogs in for years. And it’s keeping the neighbors dogs out. I’ll have to let them know too….. thanks for the advice!
@@FarmLearningTim I did not mean it in a negative way. I am raised with dogs, and very familiar with all types of dog training and dog behavior. I look at it from a dogs perspective and their capabilities. Can a dog jump or even climb that fence? The answer is, yes with ease. I can see why you put a high quality fence there because it looks nice and it will take the abuse from the dogs and the weather. And you will have little to no maintenance in the future. Nothing wrong with that. And to a certain degree it will keep the dogs and wildlife where they need to be. But if either one of the dogs chooses to jump or climb the fence it can do it with ease. As a kid my parents kept rottweilers behind a much less quality fence. And that worked perfectly fine.
Yea some dogs I've had would jump this with ease. Some dogs will never jump, some will learn it at some time during their lives. Like all containment systems it's enough until it isn't. You can be ok with that, or build it for future issues now at extra expense. This fence won't stop a wandering Great Dane getting in and messing with whatever it's protecting.
Just mentioning a great dane makes me smile. I love those dogs. They are so goofy that they even wouldn't notice the fence and step right over it. Yet at the same time they can be scared from something as innocent as a toilet paper barrier 🤣@@braddeicide
They are a mixed bag, I've had one scared of her own shadow, I've had another tear out a horses throat :( just recently I was minding someone's Dane and she immediately cleared a 1.3m fence as the owner drove away.

I’m recycling old mesh into tree guards, a few wraps makes the holes smaller and it’s easy to expand it as the trees grow till you can remove it.

Tim, I said it before, you need to open a warehouse in the USA.
Cattle cage is cheap and much sturdier, its gapping at the bottom is much smaller at the bottom to help keep little critters out or in( also strong enough for large hogs. My breeding boar Wilbur weighd well over 400lbs and i never had issues w/ him considering how much hogs like rubbing up against fencing.

Does anyone know of fencing like this that I can get in the US? The kind with the pre attached skirt. Thanks.

It’s all timing eh?
@@FarmLearningTim I am having trouble finding what I want on their web site. But I will call them on Monday, Cheers

Thanks Tim ... bit hard to hear what you're saying, as the background music level is a bit loud...
Thanks for the feedback mate. The blog will be on the website later today. Cheers.
Tim how would you the same fence for cattle and dogs? And it's really hard to keep track of what you think the best fence strainer system is, they are always changing. Got a recommendation?
You could use this fence. I guess there are a lot of options. I try to showcase a lot on the channel. Cattle guys tend to favour box end assemblies.
@@FarmLearningTim Thanks Tim, you need a membership option for this channel
this fence will deter dogs digging under from one side of the fence but what about dogs digging under from the other side? do they make a skirt section for the other side that just clips on?
Just don’t let them escape and then try and break back in.
Great video
Hi mate really nice fence, which type of stiff stay fencing did you use
Hi jay there is a link in the description. Cheers!

Electric. 100%
Thank you so much 👍🏻

To be honest there is wire and there is wire. I totally get what you are saying about electricity, but I think you would be pleasently surprised by this stuff.
Anyone have any recommendations on where to find the wire with the footer? I cant seem to find it through the link or internet search
It’s available from Murray stockists. You can buy it online through Horsley wholesale
Good videos, but only brace at one end?
It’s a notched top braced gateway with overhead beam supporting a creeper.
Where do you get the tools in your video to remove the fence posts the way you did?
Looks like a jack used for lifted jeeps (high lift farm jack)
Do you concrete in your treated timber posts?
No mate. The concrete plug is not strong enough
@@FarmLearningTim Thanks for the reply! What do you do to hold the timber posts?
How come you didn’t use crimps both ends ?
You only need to use them when straining. Slack wire can be tied off as shown

Does that fence also stop kangaroos?
Just go a bit higher but yes, most try to go under and the skirts stop that
Thanks Tim
