To counteract some of those negative comments - I thought this was a great demonstration!And honestly that fence looks plenty of strong depending on what’s it’s being used for. I keep horses, cows, and pigs behind fencing far less sturdy than that and haven’t had any issues. I’ve also had to build fencing in a hurry and really wish I would’ve had some of these tools/accessories handy. Thanks for the video, I personally got a lot from it! For all of you haters, get over yourself and don’t knock it till you try it!
Aussies and kiwis create so much of this stuff because we have 10 of thousands of kilometres of fence ,gotta say though I like that fence you just built so bloody simple well done Cheers from Aus
Made in America isn't encouraged in America. I watched an episode of Shark Tank and a guy had a truck rack that folded up and he wanted to manufacture it in the States. The whole Shark Tank crew rejected him because he wouldn't move his operations to China. He said he wouldn't, so he left the stage hoping for more local investors to grow his business. Way too much emphasis on the almighty dollar and not enough about value in America.
The reason is... most American consumers worship the almighty dollar. Price is king - quality be dammed. Look no further than your local WalMart. You will see anything from new Mercedes to 20-year old drunk-bumped hoopties in the parking lot. The business people with the money on Shark Tank know this. There are far too many businesses that have failed because of price. Yes, some folks will still pay more for a quality product... but not enough, and the businesses focused on quality instead of price eventually fail. It's a shame because most times the higher quality item costing just a little more will far outlast the lesser expensive item... thereby being cheaper in the long run. Folks today just can't think that far ahead.
If countries could only trade in raw materials, (no finished products) then each country would have to supply for themselves what they need and want. Then the corporations wouldn’t be able to use the working class of one country, against the working class of another. There by forcing the corporations to deal with the working class people the are conducting their business in.
Yet you go to Asia and Asian hate Chinese crap cuz it's so low quality They only buy it if they have no other options and they can't make it I learned long ago to buy the best then take care of it As a kid my China made tools broke rusted failed etc My American made stuff is still around unless borrowed (or stolen)
If 'Made in America' carried with it a guarantee that it would be a quality product,. I would agree. I buy products based on their utility first, price second. I am not concerned about who makes it.
This video was worth watching just to see the fast clips tie the fence to the t posts. I will only be using those from now on. I think something you might have missed that I use, I place a tractor or truck at the end of the line and use that as my anchor for stretching. Then tie the fence up under tension. I am able to keep more tension in the fence and not have the anchor "come along" in my way. Great job.
Totally agree on using the truck hitch to stretch to keeping all the tension... I would still use wire and fence pliers to tie it all to t posts and end anchors... most of the things people think make it easier like electric drills suck because they cost more time everytime.... as for stretching a simple pipe or 2x4 or even 2 t poles or just a chain load binder... You don't need any of this high dollar fancy crap that breaks down... I could stretch a fence tighter than that in the video with just a pair of fencing pliers vice grips and a t pole It's not rocket science As far as the tie wires it's really just as fast to cut a length of wire and spin the ends with fencing pliers ... I just don't get people and their battery operated heavy tool that when it's dead it's dead and it's heavy it's clumsy and it's left laying around far away when your pliers go back in your belt every time... and everyone on the job will have their pliers Not to mention if you're doing lots of fence a simple rod or flat iron with 2 holes for the wire will be always in your pocket and save plenty of time Of course everyone of the crew can have a electric drill with batteries etc but they will be leaving that heavy crap behind all the time
As far as the fast clips wrap around the post twice then over itself and bent is more than strong enough any kind of tie is more than enough... those clips are just a lot more expense and really not faster nor stronger
Hey Mark. That’s a sharp looking fence. I picked up some pointers and I love the little gizmo that twists the keeper to the posts! That is worth its weight in gold! Nice tools and techniques. Thank you!
@8:13 it's a Grapple T clip also you didn't put them on your list. I've very impressed with your channel a friend showed me it. You explain things very well I wish i started with some one like that. Most people just say to do it this way and don't explain how we do it and why we do it that way. Chain walkers look sweet we use come alongs since they are cheap and chains used in commercial settings have to be inspected yearly, Sadly come alongs don't I hate them, mostly because a helper that doesn't know can fubar them easily. Like reeling it in with out tension, Or not putting them in release before putting them away in the truck as you drive down the road and hit bumps that come along will tighten and good luck getting it to release LOL also they are sharp is not well maintained. Never seen the H frame brace, We do Wild life fence 12 ft 1 ft in the ground 10 feet spacing every 100 ft we drill 4 holes for two 2 7/8 thick wall 8 ft spacing with stabilizer braces 4 feet spacing and bent then welded on to the 2 7/8th. We do it that way because It's to government specs. Deers bounce off our fences LOL. Awesome Channel btw
For driving t posts i use my loader to push them in the ground and cut a 2×4 board to set the depth. Every post is the same height! Thanks for the informative video.
Y’all. Crazy… this is an excellent fence…. Unless you’re trying to keep Goats or elephants in. This a good fence… I would use this for my chickens my dwarf goats I would use this for lots of different things and the bracing seems to work just fine. I have a homestead and I wish I saw this before I use what I used. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
By the way when I said its left outdoors year round ! Leave it uncovered on my fencing trailer which is located in the mid west expose to rain storms, heavy frost, winters with & without heavy snow, and of course a few tornados .
100% yes to everything in your video! I've of the best videos on here. Y'all gained a new follower. I love the ag world in New Zealand! Three longer on the ranch the shorter the shorts lol. We're in Arkansas and that's totally me in our wet season(winter). I rock knock off Crocs, wool socks, shorts, thermal top, and a hooded vest all winter. People will always have their own opinions. It ain't their chicken so they can stay outta the ring. Honestly throw a hot wire 4 notches up and 8 down and I'd trust it to hold my cattle. I'd trust it to hold my goats apart during rut if it came from the Kiwis. Switching all my come alongs and stuff to straps and rope was well worth the time. Out of everything I've used to pull fence nothing beats pa's old block and tackle stretcher.
Y’all are great. Thank you for sharing! I have got to get me one of those chain come along thing a ma jigs. That looks way more enjoyable and a bit better to deal with than a come along.
In Arizona we used Cedar Post copper coated Telegraph Wire and stretch it tite with a backhoe the wire was free the past were free and just a fuel for backhoe
@SWiFence I don't know, I thought I was stating the truth. First, I saw you guys on Stoney Ridge Farm. Surprised me when you said where you were from. Since then, I have watched you when I can and look for your work. It isn't really hard to find if one looks for good-looking fencing.
Because of all of the sheep!!! LOL!! There are more sheep in Aus and NZ than people! Thanks for the alternate methods! How much $$ was that section to build?
That was my thought exactly when I watched. All I could see was the cost of all the tools necessary to build it. If you were a fencing contractor these tools could be amortized over many fence jobs, but for the guy just wanting to fence in a few acres of property it appeared to be too expensive for most.
Where I live, renting a hilty is necessary. Cut the fins off the T posts drill the granite or other rock insert post and mortar, and voila, the post is set.
If you got a helper to unroll fencing put a nice long digging bare in the middle both grab an end and got for a walk. It's pretty smooth. A lot smoother than kicking it.
Well dang I'm jealous of that nice soft ground, I would even take hard-packed clay over what we have here in NH. The ground is so rocky in most places every excavator bucket you pull seems like its 60% rock and 40% dirt. I also have places I can never fence because it's just straight ledge rock. I would need to use concrete drills and set steel posts which is just too much money, so we have to go around. I have to rent an SDS Max hammer drill with a 1.5" x 24" SDS max bit to pre-drill my t-post holes lol.
Best fence video wish I saw it before I had to redo my goat fence. Not knowing a dam thing and winging it works only so good....I also don't like to work so hard but unfortunately I have to use the old school post pounder but every thing else you used in this video made me drool! Thanks
This looks to be a wonderful fence! We keep sheep, horses, donkeys, chickens and ducks behind fences far less sturdy than that. I can also say from experience, if you are using this type of fencing for dogs, you actually want a bit of slack - the tighter a fence like this is, the easier it is for dogs to climb... and not just domestic dogs - think coyotes and animals like foxes too. Now if you're trying to keep goats in.. you pretty much need Alcatraz in fence form.
I rented that exact driver on a Friday afternoon for a 1 day rental of $60. I had to have it back Monday morning by 9 am to avoid a second day. We put in over 100 tposts over the weekend. Unless your in the business, renting can be a better option for nice tools if you find the right location. Call around and ask.
Funniest line on the internet: "Use a tape to mark post spacing BECAUSE WE AREN'T SAVAGES"!!! I LOVE IT!!! I am a stepper. My buddy just hates that I srep of spacing, but I get it pretty consistent and I enjoy annoying my buddy. Love your videos! I AM A SAVAGE!
I love it but the man said the fence stakes are too high right now. We had horses then when the kids quit riding we pulled up the posts and sold them. Sold the gate too. Now I want dwarf goats, pen for chickens, and mini pigs maybe. I’ve also had my eye on a mini cow or 4. 😂
Couple tips. Strain up your mesh first then you can put your posts in to line up with the verticals. Tying a vertical to the post makes a stronger fence. Although not much stronger with 2" spacing it makes a big difference with 12" spacing. also, straining the mesh is easier if there arent a lot of posts in the way. Dont snap the tail off your knots. If you ever have to go back and adjust, and you will in the 30 year life of the fence, it helps to have a long tail you can untie. You dont need a measuring stick to judge post height. Just stand next to it, bottom rib, nipple, navel, youve got something thats the right height. Draw a line on your shirt if you really need.
Yep, that WAS easy. Sat here, drinking a beer, didn't even break a sweat. No cuts on my hands, no strained back, no loading heavy rolls of wire, heck even the fence posts just magically went into the ground right before my eyes. If you find the fast forward slider, you can exert yourself just a little bit and slide the video forward to go even faster! You're right, so fast and so easy!
Thanks for the video and eff all these stupid ass trolls. Great for those of us who are not professional fence gurus. The tools and knowledge that you share here will make it easier next time I put a fence up. I rarely have any help with anything. Without help and the right tools it takes a lot of effort, energy and time to put a fence up alone.
Links are always in the video description. 👉🏻 Easy Fence H-Brace Panel: bit.ly/SWIeasyfencepanel 👉🏻 Easy Fence End Brace Panel: bit.ly/SWIeasyfenceendbracepanel
Thank you for the time and video, im trying to learn many ways to find what works for me as far as time and resources. Of anything i can make a hybrid to work😂thanks
I am 64 and needing to fence off a line/section quickly that's almost 600' to set a boundary fence and a 10' utility tube gate since our farm has been sold. I will be using the old dependable t post driver, lol. I don't want to run 5 strands of barbed wire. I really like the No Climb fence. The entirety of fencing that I would be putting in is nearly 2600'+/- around 6.5 acres that's remaining. Do you have any videos on gate installation?
Do you have any videos on how you would do the corner of this fence? I'm starting a farm and want to fence a 200 foot square of it and I'm really liking how this fence looks. At the end you mention its stronger with the corner fences, however I'm not sure how I could do that and still have a gate for accessibility for my livestock. Having strength against being pushed over by livestock such as pigs would be a big concern for me.
Can you do a video on how you strip the 13-48-2 . I feel the way I do it is the slow time consuming way and just trying to get the most efficient at stripping that damn s not
@@SWiFenceI watch that one before I got my 13-48-2 but the fence in that video is the easy un tie. Them s knots with a pair of nipex plies you basically gotta make 3 cuts per knot 13 times per line and then like five lines back to do a termination. I was wondering if you guys had an easier way. I think a end termination with gripples I'm about an hr per termination.
Thanks! Very helpful demonstration. I will use this method for rotating grazing plots for pasture pigs. Much more economical, faster and easier than panels and I can go much farther for less money. Everything except consumables is re-usable. My bank account thanks you too.
I have a chain puller,we called them chain grabs,I have a set over 35 yrs old,down under they have sheep,not a lot of grass,so 9 strand high tensil, pull 2k feet at a time.
Man this might be my solution I need to fence 2 acres. Had a dog a big dog on my back deck a week ago. Idk if it was mean or not all I know is it was staring at my 3 year old son and cats through my sliding glass door. By the time I was able to get the stove situated enough to go and investigate ( 90 seconds at most ). The dog was gone like a fart in the wind most people would say oh no big deal. But in my opinion it is a big deal because the teeth on that dog were big. Now I am not a animal/dog hater I love all animals but I also love my son. All it takes is one wrong move and that dog could have caused a whole bunch of stitch’s in my sons face arms lags or worse. I need a fence but a standard 6 foot tall chain link is looking like 10k for my yard. So my son can enjoy his whole yard not just a small section. This on the other hand might be a bit more affordable????
Very different from a rancher building a barb wire fence. We would use treated wood for corners or braces. And a fence stretcher for barb wire. Fence staples in wood and clips on t posts. You can put stay ties between t posts. Gas powered fence pounder? Never used one. But looking at it? I would never want to pack it a mile up a mountain. Should stay close to the pickup or quad. And we use fencing pliers to make splices or bend clips. And a good hammer is better for staples.👍
Interesting to see how far behind Australia and New Zealand the USA is with farm fencing. We farm 3000 acres in southern Australia and have somewhere around 70 kilometers of fence on our property. We use mostly Waratah products, mainly because they are Australian made, but also because they just work. Anyone who watched this video who hasn’t heard of Waratah should Google them, and have a look at their drivable gal end assemblies and the Jio post system. It makes the system used in this video look like something sold at Walmart. I mean no offense by saying this, it just astounds me how crap the American fencing products are compared to what we use in Australia!
I was interested in how the green gate was going to work but it was not at all clear how tensioning up the wire fence across the gate itself will allow the gate to even be opened? I have zero experience with fence building so all I wanted to know was how the gate portion worked. You never opened the gate and to me, I don't see how it will ever open.
I like this fencing method. I think a person could rent a driver at Tractor Supply or a farm implement store. I'm not sure this fence could hold in a rooting boar.
Yeah, this is meant for temporary solutions or folks that are on a budget. If you're looking for quality we recommend this method: ruclips.net/video/rSilDQhP5-E/видео.html
That is an odd question. Isn’t that sort of obvious? If the ground is hard you aren’t doing it by hand. If you using a pneumatic device it doesn’t matter and actually works easier when the ground is frozen. Pneumatic post pounders work by vibration so it cuts through the ice easily.
@@Ailtir in that case aluminum and steel have very low thermal expansion and thus that is why they are preferred for Ag type fencing not to mention other reasons.
I sent an email to SWI for someone to contact me. I'm looking to buy several items. Question: How would you install a drive gate with this system? Would you install 3.5" posts in the ground adjacent your Easy Fence braces then attach your gates to the steel post?
I’m not sure but I think t post are wimpier than they were 40-50 years ago. I drove some in here and it seems they bend way easier than older ones, that used to bend also but I’m thinking not an easy. Maybe they were more tempered, as well as the little stabilizers popping off way too easy.
Thanks for the tip to drive to my rental store and pay $100 to use a tool that I have to return so I don't have to use my muscles to put posts in quicker with a $40 tool that I get to keep.
I dont know how strong I am. But I do know on my property you arent pushing on something with your foot and driving it in the ground. Maybe down by the creek. lol
No one mentions using water to put a post in ?? Its hydraulics. Very little effort.....lift and drop the post........and it drops in ! can do with 6 inch post as well. But might need a loader for the lifting part !
I don't either. As you may have heard me say in the video, this is fast and easy fence, meant for temporary or super-budget situations. If you want strong, long-lasting fence, you're looking for this: ruclips.net/video/rSilDQhP5-E/видео.html

Really need those ends and H braces made for 8' fence
Great demo! You always give me ideas for my 18acres and how to get it done easier, rather than harder. Thank you
That's encouraging--thanks for sharing that. 👍🏻
Great info. I wasn't aware of this fence system. I may have to enclose a sheep pen, and if I do, this is the system I'll use. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Learned a few tips from this one, thanks. when possible connect the come along to the tractor or truck hitch instead of using the last post.
Professional job. Nice work!
Thank you very much!

Love my Gripples. Used their tool and it stays tight.
You're a class act young man!
Well thank you!
Yep, that WAS easy. Sat here, drinking a beer, didn't even break a sweat. No cuts on my hands, no strained back, no loading heavy rolls of wire, heck even the fence posts just magically went into the ground right before my eyes. If you find the fast forward slider, you can exert yourself just a little bit and slide the video forward to go even faster! You're right, so fast and so easy!
😆😆
Great video as always very informative
I appreciate that
That would be great for temp pastures and you can repurpose the wire, posts, etc.
Thanks for the video and eff all these stupid ass trolls. Great for those of us who are not professional fence gurus. The tools and knowledge that you share here will make it easier next time I put a fence up. I rarely have any help with anything. Without help and the right tools it takes a lot of effort, energy and time to put a fence up alone.
I would use the EZ ties for chainlink fence instead of the worm clamps. They will last much longer and are much cheaper than worm clamps.
What is the original green fence parts? Just the "starter pieces"??

You could add cedar staves in between each t post for more stability plus it’s inexpensive to do.
That's not necessary
Thank you for the time and video, im trying to learn many ways to find what works for me as far as time and resources. Of anything i can make a hybrid to work😂thanks
Very welcome!
The professionals are always watching 😁.
Indeed they are. 😏
I am 64 and needing to fence off a line/section quickly that's almost 600' to set a boundary fence and a 10' utility tube gate since our farm has been sold. I will be using the old dependable t post driver, lol. I don't want to run 5 strands of barbed wire. I really like the No Climb fence. The entirety of fencing that I would be putting in is nearly 2600'+/- around 6.5 acres that's remaining. Do you have any videos on gate installation?

i have built fence.but not as easy as this.nice work
Thank you Mark, needed this.
Excellent 👍🏻
Do you have any videos on how you would do the corner of this fence?
I'm starting a farm and want to fence a 200 foot square of it and I'm really liking how this fence looks. At the end you mention its stronger with the corner fences, however I'm not sure how I could do that and still have a gate for accessibility for my livestock. Having strength against being pushed over by livestock such as pigs would be a big concern for me.
I feel like this would be perfect for moving cows around on a field and being able to set up temporary fencing
Can you do a video on how you strip the 13-48-2 . I feel the way I do it is the slow time consuming way and just trying to get the most efficient at stripping that damn s not
Not exactly what you asked, but does this help? ruclips.net/video/brteMKM3-d4/видео.html
@@SWiFenceI watch that one before I got my 13-48-2 but the fence in that video is the easy un tie. Them s knots with a pair of nipex plies you basically gotta make 3 cuts per knot 13 times per line and then like five lines back to do a termination. I was wondering if you guys had an easier way. I think a end termination with gripples I'm about an hr per termination.
Thanks! Very helpful demonstration. I will use this method for rotating grazing plots for pasture pigs. Much more economical, faster and easier than panels and I can go much farther for less money. Everything except consumables is re-usable. My bank account thanks you too.
I like it. Seems solid to me. It Should last forever
Great install! However I'm lazy, so I just push the post and said with my skid steer😅
I have a chain puller,we called them chain grabs,I have a set over 35 yrs old,down under they have sheep,not a lot of grass,so 9 strand high tensil, pull 2k feet at a time.
Man this might be my solution I need to fence 2 acres. Had a dog a big dog on my back deck a week ago. Idk if it was mean or not all I know is it was staring at my 3 year old son and cats through my sliding glass door. By the time I was able to get the stove situated enough to go and investigate ( 90 seconds at most ). The dog was gone like a fart in the wind most people would say oh no big deal. But in my opinion it is a big deal because the teeth on that dog were big. Now I am not a animal/dog hater I love all animals but I also love my son. All it takes is one wrong move and that dog could have caused a whole bunch of stitch’s in my sons face arms lags or worse. I need a fence but a standard 6 foot tall chain link is looking like 10k for my yard. So my son can enjoy his whole yard not just a small section. This on the other hand might be a bit more affordable????
Very different from a rancher building a barb wire fence. We would use treated wood for corners or braces. And a fence stretcher for barb wire. Fence staples in wood and clips on t posts. You can put stay ties between t posts. Gas powered fence pounder? Never used one. But looking at it? I would never want to pack it a mile up a mountain. Should stay close to the pickup or quad. And we use fencing pliers to make splices or bend clips. And a good hammer is better for staples.👍
This is probably more up your alley. ruclips.net/video/rSilDQhP5-E/видео.html
Interesting to see how far behind Australia and New Zealand the USA is with farm fencing. We farm 3000 acres in southern Australia and have somewhere around 70 kilometers of fence on our property. We use mostly Waratah products, mainly because they are Australian made, but also because they just work. Anyone who watched this video who hasn’t heard of Waratah should Google them, and have a look at their drivable gal end assemblies and the Jio post system. It makes the system used in this video look like something sold at Walmart. I mean no offense by saying this, it just astounds me how crap the American fencing products are compared to what we use in Australia!
8:45 he mentioned that all the tools and the wire are made in New Zealand.
😊waratah products would be a lot more expensive than what was used here.
I was interested in how the green gate was going to work but it was not at all clear how tensioning up the wire fence across the gate itself will allow the gate to even be opened? I have zero experience with fence building so all I wanted to know was how the gate portion worked. You never opened the gate and to me, I don't see how it will ever open.
I think there's some misunderstanding. There is no gate shown in this video. What you mistook for a gate is actually a brace.
@@SWiFence Sure was, it looks kinda like a gate to me and that was what I searched on.
well done ,,, the links in the corners are missing Just FYI not a complaint . regards J
Thanks for the excellent video!
My pleasure!
Pain in the neck! I will keep my day job and have you build me a fence.
It's not for everybody.
I like this fencing method. I think a person could rent a driver at Tractor Supply or a farm implement store. I'm not sure this fence could hold in a rooting boar.
Yeah, this is meant for temporary solutions or folks that are on a budget. If you're looking for quality we recommend this method: ruclips.net/video/rSilDQhP5-E/видео.html
i dont always build a fence but when i do i watch SWI after and see all the ways i messed up.
Or you could watch it before..... 😆👍🏻
No mention of temperature? Would it matter if you installed this on a really cold day?
That is an odd question. Isn’t that sort of obvious? If the ground is hard you aren’t doing it by hand. If you using a pneumatic device it doesn’t matter and actually works easier when the ground is frozen. Pneumatic post pounders work by vibration so it cuts through the ice easily.
@@thedivide3688 I was asking about thermal expansion in the wire and how it might affect the tension.
Yes. You would be colder.
@@Ailtir in that case aluminum and steel have very low thermal expansion and thus that is why they are preferred for Ag type fencing not to mention other reasons.
@@thedivide3688 Being a smartass while wrong is quite ironic.
Where do you get those forest service braces?
From us. 🙂

👉🏻 Easy Fence End Brace Panel: bit.ly/SWIeasyfenceendbracepanel
...would make a good garden fence though
Forest service probably like all medal for fire resistants too.
Not too shabby. Will probably last till the braces rust out.
I sent an email to SWI for someone to contact me. I'm looking to buy several items. Question: How would you install a drive gate with this system? Would you install 3.5" posts in the ground adjacent your Easy Fence braces then attach your gates to the steel post?
Awesome l like that I thank that would be a good option on a affordable fence
Great video thank you
Very welcome
Big Foot endorses this video.
Looks good!
Thanks!
Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m not sure but I think t post are wimpier than they were 40-50 years ago.
I drove some in here and it seems they bend way easier than older ones, that used to bend also but I’m thinking not an easy. Maybe they were more tempered, as well as the little stabilizers popping off way too easy.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Quality of everything is going down.
Good video
Thanks!
Fun tools. I'm too cheap to pay $.48 each for a T-post clip. Good for government work where everything is FREE!
Thanks for the tip to drive to my rental store and pay $100 to use a tool that I have to return so I don't have to use my muscles to put posts in quicker with a $40 tool that I get to keep.
Go for it! 👍🏻
Sorry not in Pennsylvania bro solid granite and shell and whatever Bluestone doesn't happen
👍 nice
Sweet! Thanks for the 411.
No problem 👍
Oh a ratchet strap is so much easier to tighten up fence wire
People are going to say that driver cost more than the whole fence...
Have they never heard of renting tools?!?
Exactly!!
any gate building videos?
Yep! Go to the channel page and type "gate" in the search box. 👍🏻
if my car hose breaks and i need a clamp. I know where to get one now.
Do you guys ship this to Jamaica?
Sorry--we don't really do international shipping right now.
Fencing can be fun in open terrain but in the woods, weeds and mountains its all very different.
Truer words were never spoken.
I dont know how strong I am. But I do know on my property you arent pushing on something with your foot and driving it in the ground. Maybe down by the creek. lol
I needa reverse post puller driving in is easy.

How do I get you to come put this up on my property??
C'mon! You've got this! You don't need us. 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
No one mentions using water to put a post in ?? Its hydraulics. Very little effort.....lift and drop the post........and it drops in ! can do with 6 inch post as well. But might need a loader for the lifting part !
run a couple hot wires with stand off insulators and this would work just fine for my hogs
Purty Cool
The real test will be how long it will last. Maybe 10- 15 years. I do not see it outliving my 50 plus year pasture fence in Colorado weather
I don't either. As you may have heard me say in the video, this is fast and easy fence, meant for temporary or super-budget situations. If you want strong, long-lasting fence, you're looking for this: ruclips.net/video/rSilDQhP5-E/видео.html
