Great video, to the point. Really helpful. Building a fence in Central Texas alone....haha....little difficult but videos like this sure help. Thank you!!!
Never going to build a fence , but you did a great job. Kind of looks fun to do.
A family friend lost a son - he fell under the brush hog while riding on the tractor mudguard just like in your intro - after many years I think about it a lot- image how the father feels!!!
I feel horrible from your friend and his son, but that was an enclosed cab tractor.
It’s pretty impossible to fall out of that. I mean you could, but you could also fall out of a pick up as well.
Hello Mr. Simons,
Where my family ranches we use juniper posts rather than cedar post but they both do a great job. However we have found that if we remove all of the bark from the juniper post that it will last much longer than if we left the bark on the post. We have some pastures that are boggy and stay wet this is where we noticed the posts with bark rotting at the ground. Just curious to hear your input and if you have had the same problem. Just started watching your videos and I love them, spreading the word of the Lord and ranching is amazing. Thank you.
I have noticed that too. Do you let the posts dry a month or more after getting the bark off?
I like your shovel tool with the handle to make it easy to take dirt out of the hole.
Where did you buy it o what is it called
Just a different perspective. We always used pieces of 4-5" rebar, drill a hole where you want your pipe to hang and drive in the rebar then hang your pipe. Same goes for where you used Staples on your diagonal wire, for the bottom side, piece of rebar straight in sticking out an inch or two. For the top side of the diagonal wire, drive your rebar in at a 45* so it is sticking up, then you can just hook your wire on the rebar instead of having to run through a staple. If you get it tight you don't have to worry about it going anywhere.
Back in the day, we used hedge post (Osage orange) No one could ever pound a large staple in one of those logs. They are hard as steel!
Glad I came across your feed. Thanks.
50” in the ground!?! You’ve never dug a hole in NH lol. My 6” PT poles are in the ground 3’ after I coated the bottom 4’ in used Motor oil. I made an “x” pattern with my wire and seams to be really strong. I’m doing everything I can to make mine last 50 years too. Thank you for the video.
Like that red post hole digger..never c one before..
Plus i like video

Thanks for the instruction
You'll play hell digging like that in our ground 50 inches. LOL
Ah, the memories. Was just half as tall of that fence last time i was "helping". Great fun overall. I miss those old timers who i was around. Learned a lot but never learned it everything required. Definitely saving this video.
Out to the field i go! Fence line clearing, wire repair and new fence construction layout. Just need an auction to pop up for old telephone poles!
Thank you for your biblical references. You make the rest of us realize God's word.
Woodglut is nice for that.
Great video! Im currently cutting 155 posts from my land and I'll do my best to make great H braces like yours.
Very informative
Could not read the name on that shovel. Mind putting it into your video description?
Really appreciate , your Biblical references. And doing it right the first time ( overkill , I truly do not think so ) means your fence will take the punishment it inevitably is going to receive. God Bless
So very true. I can’t help it put the word of God in the video, God has done so much for me. Happy trails
I agree with overkill is good when comes to fencing
Any chance I can get the contact info for the guy that builds the shovel/ digger in this video?
New subscriber. Really enjoy your content and honest hard work approach to things. This was a great video for me as we are working on a small piece of property in southern Oregon. I have lots of fence work in my future and it was nice to learn the details of constructing the foundational component ... a good solid braced corner. Thank you!
+USNERDOC
Good to have you onboard friend, very much appreciate it please keep in touch.
I bought a few calfs at the sales barn .75 a piece and they where sick but after getting them (unsick) Lol. bought a heifer holstein for 25 dollars.. there healthy and gaining weight everyday, your right there is no way buying calfs 200 a head you can make any money... i raise bottle calfs raise till around 500 - 600 as feeders i make couple dollars per head. if it helps me get to my goal , i will keep raising bottle calfs
I went 42 inches deep on black clay soil and a week later my strands were loose. Since black soil expands (pushing the post out) and contracts (making the fence loose), I was thinking of backfilling with road gravel which only gets hard with rain and does not compact or expand. Have you ever tried such a thing? Thanks for the video.
+Liberty Garden
I have used road gravel, it didn’t work real good for me but then again it was very cold about 30 below zero when I did. I know they put in a lot of post and beam Barnes using gravel. Now and then we have to put fence through gumbo which is very similar to what you’re talking about and very hard to Tampa in. You got your work cut out for you :-).

I have been using crushed red rock with great results, but I have also heard that pea gravel works good, I think the biggest thing is to have washed rock of some sort, no dirt or fines in it.
Thanks, John.
Try footing the post next time.
Pea gravel is round, will NOT pack...that's why it's recommended higher than grass under kids' playground stuff, kids can fall into it without breaking bones because it just will not pack. You are right about not having dirt in the gravel (such as tailings) - it packs real well but will get soft if water gets down into it. But you're wrong about fines - best packing gravel I've ever found was crushed (sharp angles) gravel with LOTS of fines, packs like concrete and water won't soften it, but you can still dig it up later if you have to, unlike concrete. Down in New Mexico I've heard folks talk about "crusher fines", it's about 90 percent fines, you tamp it like dirt, and it sets like concrete. Sounds ideal to me.

I think my personal favorite is the unexpected skunk. I was working away one time and I thought it was someone's barn cat that came out to see us..... not a kitty.
A good mic will make or break a video
Having put more than my share of corner posts in here is what I would do different. First Do Not use rebar to tighten the brace wire. IT Will RUST and eat through the wire. Best thing is galvanized pipe or galvanized angle iron made for this. Next put the brace pipe in about half way up. Basically this will double the pressure on the corner post. The leverage of the brace wire up high will put way more pressure on the pipe. Last thing I would do is put the staples in on each side of the corner post. This will prevent the post from twisting especially when the fence wires are pulling on the side of the post from improper installation.
My family stopped using Cedar post decades ago. We used drill stem pipe, Double "H" brace with a 45 degree down brace. I have seen MILES of fence in the hill country put in that way and stay just as tight in 25 yrs as they did when they were put up. Sure, you have to have a welding machine but once it's up,,its UP for good. We also NEVER use imported wire. Only U.S. made 12 ga.
Only redbrand wire for me.
Me too ..... I will never ever build another fence using wood posts ... Pipe for me !
Nice! Where we live, we have these things on tractors called 3-point hitches. You can attach a variety of equipment to them, including post hole diggers! Saves loads of time! Excuse my sarcasm... but we probably had our H frame done before you got your first hole dug! Very nice work, however!
I hear you, we have a gas powered tamper, a three point Auger, a hydraulic Auger and a handheld gas powered ground Auger as well, I just wanted to show people how simple it can be putting fence in without a lot of high dollar tools.
You are very right, those options are A big timesaver.

@@BacktotheBasics101 hello Luke, thank you for helping us through your channel. Can you please tell us what brand is the hole digger that was used on this video and where we can get it? All the hole diggers I have found are quite simplistic and kind of useless. Yours look to do the job way better.
What type of post hole digger are you using. I have never seen a PHD quite like the one you are using.
+Bruce Hudson
Kind of an old-school post hole digger, I fell out of South Dakota makes them. Very handy in the right type of soil. Don’t really know the name of it. Happy trails
Luke
Bruce Hudson where to by the shovel .
Back to the Basics 101 I believe it’s called a Gibbs Digger. Hope that helps.
Could you perhaps post some better pictures of it, or show it off a bit more in a future video?
I'm in northern ky. We can only dream of dirt like that to dig in. Half inch top soil, clay and rocks the rest of the way. Quality work on that brace.
Wow that’s not good, I was surprised how good the digging was there too. That particular piece was really easy to dig no rocks or clay, where I live it is solid clay, and when it’s wet it is some hard hard work. About a foot of topsoil.
And then of course if you hit rock or sand stone you’re chipping a hole in the ground. It’s work.

Man this a cool channel,I subbed,I have my share of fencing lol,I think it's called hog wire that has big squares at the top and small at the bottom I hated that stuff lol, I have a channel myself check it out if you like, thanks for sharing
I used normal large pliers for fixing fences then I found those claw pliers when I could find the others and I they were my favorite pliers from then out
Nice video.
the tools you use blows my mind i literally been getting by with fencing pliers a post pounder and a come along for repairing fence ...to build fence out at the ranch hahaha im gunna have to get some tools
hello, I'm a new subscriber and I am enjoying your fence vids. I will be doing a bunch of fence repair and this is very helpful. Just a note you did not leave the link to the amazon store in the description.
Hi Lennie: Just in case you worry about such things - the collective noun for a great multitude of fence repairs, is a 'confloption' of fence repairs. I think that's mentioned in the Gnostic gospels, somewhere.

Who won that comment contest raffle? These braces are put up every so often along the fence? I found some info of a guy doing his H-brace. He also mentions something called a "floating brace", a brace for hard soils. farmfolly.com/2009/06/building-an-h-brace/

Try digging a 50" hole in Montana with that posthole digger. We use a large heavy steel rod to break up the ground and clean out the loose dirt and repeat. It takes a good 2 hours dig a corner post hole. Lot of rocks in this area..
Thankfully on the western side of the state all we have is clear digging or through scoria or Clay sandstone. On the eastern side they have granite to dig through, this was easy digging here but I know how it is to spend 2-3 hours digging a hole with a bar.
To quote L.A. gibson I prefer my post hole digger rusty and unused,
I like to drive drill stem...
get yourself a dead cat for that microphone and the wind noise will disappear, take a long metal pole and weld an old brake shoe to it and you can tamp around the pole tightly
That is a good brace but I do not have steel pipes like those laying around, why not use a piece of cedar? wouldn't wood brace last as long as the wood posts
In a pinch I do use cedar post for the brace, the problem is is often times under the pressure they break, the steel post is obviously a lot more durable. This is the reason.
Thanks for watching happy trails
Luke
There’s many different ways to do a strainer post , some easier and faster than ur example times money cheers good job
Definitely not the only Way, however many people that are watching this our new defense in an out door life. I figured this might be the simplest way for them. Thanks for dropping by. Happy trails
IF , you're building fence for Money , You should be using a Tractor and Posthole digger ! No sense in breaking your Back by hand digging holes ! UNless , of course , you want to 'FEEL' like 60 when you're really 40 !!!
Great info on your Video , valuable demonstration !
Hello. Super video. Can you PLEASE tell me the make and model of your manual post hole digger??? I found something similar with a wood handle, but yours looks like metal and would likely last much longer. I can not find this anywhere. Thank you in advance for a reply!!!
he said in the ground 50 inches, come to the pacific northwest and say that, glacial till you might get 2 ft before you decide to farm chickens lol.. we used massive screws to dig the hole, backhoe, a 18 blade tears out a 35" holes, the boulders are from oh 6" diameter to 20" diameter and packed in tight.. glaciers did all that.. you can't use a screw smaller than 18" it will destroy it.. its brutal but the only way, some guys back full and tamp down hard, then redrill, other use sono tube and backfill, whatever gets it down but 50" deep? lotta concrete and backfill from say alaska down to olympia washington I guess est to say montana? maybe further?
why you see so many fences held in place with the stone piled around the posts right on top the soil.. easier.. just too difficult to bore post holes.. that's nice where you are.. I like it ... nice line
I am interested in more info in the post hole diggers never seen one like that
It's called a Gibbs digger, or lever-action post-hole digger, or "mud-bucket". There used to be several makers...now I can only find one. Check out www.lewiscontractorsales.com/seymour-s500-industrial-gibbs-digger-w6-hardwood-handle.html -- it ain't cheap, but if you dig holes more than 3 feet deep it's really great. The standard tool's handles hit the sides of the hole and release the load...you have to make the hole wider and wider to allow the handles to spread far enough to hold the dirt. With a Gibbs digger, you can dig a 4-foot hole that is less than a foot wide.
@@OffGrid9 My dad gave me one of these that was probably 70 or 80 years old at that time 25 years ago. With a 9 in auger you can still get the dirt out of the bottom of the hole when the hole is 36 inches deep. They work great just for that purpose.
Where is the link for the tools at the end of this video? PLEASE consider adding all of the needed tools for putting up barbed wire fencing in the description area below each video (since most people will not watch all 16 or 17 videos). If you make those affiliate links for each item you will get paid a percentage. I don't mind supporting your channel for the help, but you are not making it easy to find all of the tools needed.
Is leaving the bark on a problem with cedar? I spent quite a while removing the bark off my cedar posts with a hewing axe after noticing little black beetles eating the sapwood under the bark on all my logs, and that was after just a couple months of them sitting outside on sawhorses. I know cedar bark is easy to remove with a putty knife if the logs are fresh cut, which I'll be doing next time.
We strip the bark off the cedar (juniper) posts going into the ground because they’ll be more likely to rot if you don’t. Without the bark, they’ll last 100 years.
Bless you as well. I'm glad to see there are still people unafraid of sharing God's word
Interesting to see how it's done in your part of the world.
I always find it strange watching the USA guys digging post holes with a shovel.
We use a full length steel spade for digging a clean sharp hole. The shovel is only for removing the loose dirt the spade broke up in the bottom of the hole. So end up switching between the 2 throughout the process.
I like a shovel with the point worn off too, better dirt scooping from the bottom of holes without the "point" on it.
He's only using the shovel to start the top of the hole to ensure the post will be square. He used post hole diggers to dig the hole.
@@Drewmack22 we commonly use half round posts for stock fencing, so post hole diggers are no good as you need one side of the hole square and flat.
Post hole diggers are good for some of the full round posts strainers etc.
@@prdoohan I use half round post all the time you just fill the hole and tamp. It doesn't matter if the hole is round or square.
@@Drewmack22 Different strokes for different folks 😁
I agree. building fence is one of my favorite 'chores'. being outdoors, building something that will last decades... generations even
thanks for the videos. the fencing series is especially timely since I'm replacing a bunch of it this year. some of the posts I'm replacing have been in use since the late fifties. some are still strong and tightly packed in but so dry that they won't hold a staple anymore. others that are thinner line posts are just done. either way, its time to teach my boys how to do it just the way my dad taught me and his taught him on this same piece of God's creation.
thanks, Luke. Keep 'em comin'!

Should of figure 8 the wire instead of jus wrapping it not effective!!!!!!!
And don't let go of that rebar.......it will change you into a Democrat!
😂😬😆
Haha
Which wood did you use for that?
Nice video. I just became a subscriber! I would like to know how I would add another fence post going the other way to make a 90* turn? Would I do the same thing, add another deadman post that’s 50” deep and a crossbar at the top? And time them together with the wire again?
Yes just repeat what you did the first and tie into the brace. Make sure your end of the brace is in the ground deep and secure. Otherwise of course it will pull out overtime.

i wish i had ground that easy here in tasmania. i dug a hole yesterday i had to use the chipping hammer to loosen up rock hard dirt and potato sized rocks. can take 2 guys an hour to dig 8" x2' hole and forget about 4' hole here without an excavator
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I was digging those holes. I’ve had to dig through Sandstone and scoria and even granite. Not fun. But you gave me a new idea for another video. Thanks and happy trails

Did u just wrap the diagonal wire for the block staple at bottom and double wrap.
Anyone know diameter of pipe used in this H Brace?
Would these tips work with a smooth wire install?
I appreciate your videos. Very informative.
Yes it’s the exact same method with smooth wire.
Thank you much
Obrigado. Like, inscrição e comentando.
I broke the back weld on one of those shovels, dont pry on them.
This was such an incredibly helpful video! Thank you
Awesome video brother! Very informative!
Quick question for you... What is the best way to set a corner post in the swamp??? Iv got about 3feet of swamp that is in the way of fencing off my property and it never dries up.
Thanks again for the videos, God Bless you and your family!
It’s hard work, and the swamp will want to push your post right up out of the ground in time. It’s just hard work. Thanks for watching sorry I don’t have good news on fencing in swamps.🥴
i have the same problem. mine is not really a swamp but it does stay muddy there. would cedar be the best type of h brace to use or pipe?
@0:36: I guess you hate people wearing headphones. That transition was quite loud.
I’m not the worlds greatest editor. 😉
really good video, never seen cedar posts used as corners but im in nebraska. We only use hedge or drill stem. RR ties and cedar rot away too fast.
If i go down beside my property line with t post and barb wire would i need a brace?
What were you using to paint top of fence posts?
Use motor oil, it will soak into the post very nicely, post to rot generally from the top down. The wood the cut is still very much alive, and it Will soak up moisture from the top and take it to the very bottom of the post, when you treat the top of the post with use more royal it will deflect water and moisture off the top. It works great and doesn’t take long to do.

New subscriber here - thanks for your great videos and Bible verses. One question I have - in your intro to this video and many others, someone is shown applying a black substance to the top of a fence post, looks like liquid tar or something. What is it and how do you recommend its use? Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Good to have you on the trail Mike. What the black stuff is is just used motor oil. Post generally rot from the top down. Though the post is harvested, it is still very much alive and breathing. Water absorbs through the top of the post and works it was way through the post. By keeping it watertight on the top, water beads off. It will expand the life of the post by a lot. It is also a great way to recycle your used motor oil.

Friend you just posted 10 or 15 comments on many of my different videos, not one of them is a positive word. You have bigger problems in your life then just being a know it all troll. People like you are short on friends and for that I pity you. A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can’t go very far until you change it.
From Australia … trying to ID the timber of the posts ? From discussion, I assume it is Cedar. Would that be Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana)?
Totally agree - depth rules over diameter of post or thorough compaction around the post. Can never make the soil as stable as the structure of undisturbed ground.
HAha! Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" - their was a good H brace.
You really made me laugh out loud, thanks for stopping by and saying hi Scott. That was hilarious.

How do you know what direction to put wire for cross braces? To pull corner posts together. Had a fence put up and posts are loose after 6 years? I have been told they put wire in wrong direction, reason they are loose?
In the video I believe I go over this, yes there is only one direction you should be pulling from, depending on the design of your H brace.
Nice job, but put the top staple in line with the horizontal rail, you don't want the diagonal brace point above the horizontal rail, the goal is to transfer the loads in line with each other. Also please cut that rebar tensioner off flush with the top rail. Vet calls are expensive enough without potentially adding more.
Where does one get one of those red lever action scoops your using?
What kind of wood are you using for the posts?
God bless you as well
Thank you sir.
Do the cedar post need Tobe recently cut or been cut for a year plus?
Hello Luke, it's me with more questions. Where did you get that awesome posthole digger, is the corner post cedar, and how long is the pipe brace? When you tighten the wire strands, do you start with the top and work your way down?
I found that either in South Dakota or Wyoming. If you’re interested I could get you the number of the place.
I found that railroad cross ties are the best for corners as they're creosoted for longevity. Also you can get used Power poles from the county on occasion. Usually we used 12" diameter poles. They also are usually treated with creosote.
With barbed wire, we generally started at the bottom and worked up. Think this is more of a convenience than anything else I think Lol.
A man that does the fences for my uncle told me to start with the top wire. Most of the give will be at the top where the pull has the most leverage. So, he said, take out all the give at the top and work your way down where the give is less because the there is less leverage. Made sense to me. One of his fences had an 8” pipe as corner post, but no brace. So I asked him why and he said, it’s buried 6 feet deep with concrete. The fence was tight as on day one after three years. I also noticed that the brace systems used at my uncle’s ranch were no more than 6’ wide, with many on shorter stretches only 4-5’ wide. The corner posts for the braces went down 90 CM or 3 feet. However, that terrain is rocky and arid (12-14” annual rainfall), and very mild winters so the ground never expands or contracts much. They use 3-4” mesquite fence posts, 18” deep, and pipe, RR ties, or 10” mesquite for corners. That ranch has been in the family 47 years and some of the original fences are still holding
Luke how do I I build long sections of fence in hill country? I have my two corners located it spans a little less than a half mile. How do I position my center h brace with out being able to see from one end point to the next due to the hills
I have a video on that from about five years ago.

Closed captions didn't work
Hi. I have 50' from my corner post to my gate. Is there a minumum spacing where I don't need an H brace?-seems like a lot of wasted material for just fifty feet! Let me know what you think. I'm doing 4 lines of 12.5 gauge.
The H brace is what engineers offense. It will be very difficult to keep a fence tight. If the post on each end is moving in it may seem like a lot of extra work but a good fence has good H braces.
Just my experience
@@BacktotheBasics101 Can do! I was able to finish fencing the property line on the east a few days ago with your help. So I'll continue with your advice! Thanks for your help.
@@edwardandezra
Well, I hope I’m being helpful. Happy fencing.
Appreciate your dedication to your craft. We used to build braces in a similar manner, except we didn't need wire stretchers to get the two strands of wire tight. It temporary splice and some back and forth on the double wires with your foot you'll get all the necessary slack out and can then tie your knot. and all this time what we have learned is that wood sucks. We will never again build a brace out of anything less than pipe. Wood braces, although they should last 50 years many times do not . when a cow bumps into them and knocks out the horizontal bar, or a wire breaks, or twister falls out. Not to mention the time savings involved. Which is a lot
Often times we used double layers with her foot is well. Pretty beginners I wanted to make it pretty simple for them. Really appreciate your input.

Nice job, but I would put the top Staple in line with the horizontal rail, the idea is to keep the brace loads in line with each other. Also please cut off that rebar sticking above the top rail. Horses and cattle are always finding ways to injure themselves, no need to give them something else to cut or stab themselves on.
I have used pine knots where are you buying cedar post? Old days trailers would be in front of sale barn
We’ve been cutting them.
There is a lot simpler ways than this. If you want a brace to last drive steel an weld a brace. Yea it more but you will never have to replace it.
I don't know where you come from but here in the Police State of Kansas we have hedge posts. Good for a hundred years. They outlast T posts 2 to1. A little hard on saw chains but well worth it. And it's the best firewood on the planet. I don't get the whole H brace thing. A Z brace is far superior to the H as an H will parallelogram # and the N called a Z won't go nowhere ever. Truss mechanics 101. GOD bless you. You do some nice looking fence.
I love it the police state of Kansas, I’m a state legislator in the house of North Dakota. I am constantly trying to fight the police state.
Sounds like we have lots in common.
I am not very familiar with the brace you’re talking about. I am very interested to learn new ideas. The Cedarpost are very hard to cut as well. But like you said very well worth it. As far as firewood goes I’ll take you up on that. Just have it delivered before fall hits, and I’ll let you know how it burns up here.😉

Good video. Only thing I do different is use 9ga wire and I don't tamp my brace post until I tighten the cross wire. That way the brace post is not trying to pull back straight.
Wire cutting into the wood posts... weathers & rots wood faster. If i can make a suggestion: Do same process, except place 2 loose staples, side-by-side, 1 leg of each staple inserted into the 3rd staple(which is hammered into the outside of the brace posts.) The wire will dig into the 2 loose staples, instead of cutting into the wood.
Great video! If you choose to go all steel check out bullet fence systems. All steel, no welder needed. We suggest using angle braces and forgoing the brace wires. Just less work and geometrically a stronger brace.
Thank you for the tip I’ll check it out sometime. Could you send me a link?

Do you have a brand name for the post hole digger? Or where to buy? Thanks!
It’s a homemade job. The fellow that makes him number is 1 (605) 985-5591
If you don’t want to weld your pipe fence look at the Bullet Fence option. Looks like a workable solution if you want to use pipe but don’t have a welding machine or worried about starting a fire during dry conditions.
