Video

Hi there excellent comparison video Shane! For the rangemaster high tensile hinged knot field fence, how far would you stretch fence between H braces (on relatively flat ground). With rolls of 330', can you splice two rolls together and stretch the fence 660' between H braces? Can you stretch further than 660'? Are there downsides to stretching further runs?

You show the strap on the pack at the start pf the video, then it's removed for the rest of. Can you explain how the strap is used/worn? Or better still, show this?

That's great, how much pressure can these strainers hold?

All the lock jaws I have bought in the pad have only lasted a year, I hope they have improved the uvt protection

Did you cement the Double H-brace in the ground?

Nice fence, Kencove!

Hi great videos. Never considered making the top wire an earth - how did you arrive at that concept. My standard cattle and sheep fence has over the last fifty years become a seven wire with 3 hot wires - every second wire starting with the top wire being hot. The bottom wire is always earthed the 6 th wire next to it is optionally earth - simply by connecting it with a wrap of wire to the adjacent earth or hot wire. Every second hole from the top of a standard Warratah Star Picket gives good spacing for a seven wire electric fence. Using this spacing makes it easy to replace a broken timber post with a star picket. In other cases I use Gallagher’s recommended wire spacing.

For a 7 or 6 wire fence the professional fencing contractors and myself included here in southern Australia use a 10’ minimum top brace, but usually no more than 12’. A double brace is used on any thing over a 4’ high fence.

Check out the Warratah Three Way Wire Spinner - probably expensive compared to this machine, but very versatile. My tip always yes always put a bend near the end of the wire before letting it return any were near the spinner - then just let it go or poke it into the ground - no need to fiddle around poking it into a hole. Without the small sharp bend (kink) in the wire if you just intentionally or accidentally let it go that end will disappear into the coil never to be found - yes it has happened to me

When I was broke I learnt to tie several good knots the tex broken is one of them - they are tied with the wire under tension - hence just use the chain walking type strainer to pull things up tight then tie off under tension (Hayes Strainers have been around for a long time there are several copies of this now fence line solutions au have one with an in-built tension indicator). On the rare occasion that I have need to retention a strainer assembly - just cut out the knot and put in a piece of wire using two Tex brown or similar knots one inside the wire strainer and one outside so it gets pulled up tight (a standard figure eight knots works here. Sure beats using expensive permanent strainers and crimps. Some use gripples but again they are getting expensive - best to learn how to tie knots between the wire strainer jaws with the wire under tension. As I said Tex Brown is the name of one, the other knot I cannot remember but it will be in the internet

I seem to have one of my wires that didn't want to tighten up with the others and it seems to be the one with the strainer.

crimping tool is hard to handle and use should be redesigned for more convenient use

How/what did you attach it to at the other end? If you were doing that for real.

What ina hell did I just see?

I have no idea if I run my wire around my whole pasture area or terminate at each corner for tensioning purposes? I have 5 braces total

I'm a newbie here so please bear with me. Why do you run the wire to the outside of "H-braces" and corner post but then run the wire on the inside of the line posts? Can one run a corner insulator on the inside of the corner post and still put until 250lbs of tension? Thank you!

Dumb question here but using an in-line tensioner still allows you to electrify the entire run?

Great info. Thanks!!

Thank you for the videos and fast shipment of my fence equipment. I have one question you have 6 strands 3 hot 3 ground. Where does the 3 ground wire connect to? I know the ground rods connect to the energizer and to each other. But where does the ground wires of the fence connect to? Thank you

Is there any disadvantage to the pos/neg fence compared to the standard hot fence? The prices seem to be about the same.

I watched quite a few of videos on this product. Looks like it works geat but there is NO documentation on recommended torque settings for the size of the wire being used.

QUESTION: What is the length of the T-posts used in this video, & how far do they stick out of the ground to the top point? For the angled brace post, the angle created & placement location of the vertical post with the lower bracket, would vary based on the length of the posts. For distance accuracy of vertical posts placement for the lower brace, the formula of 12" to 16" from bottom of the plate on angled post, would create various lengths based on each posts overall length that is sticking out of the ground. Different fence heights would require different height of fence posts. This may be something for future videos.

I can’t find the tensioners (connects poly tape to 2-pin t-post insulator) on the website.

That tool you using to hammer in the staples, can I buy one from you?

Thank you KENCOVE for the arena I haven't personally used it yet but I do show and rodeo down there so when my horse is fired up I'm sure to take it to the practice arena thank you

Excellent job on that project.👏

Crimps are great when you dont have enough wire to join otherwise figure 8 and standard termination knots for me

I saw this one before

Awesome tutorial!

You say in the video that a Wedge-Loc diagonal brace is needed, but the brace serves no purpose when bracing a gate hinge post. You can see the post moving easily toward the gate (sag) in your video at about 4:51. As you say in your response to af7559, diagonal bracing wire will help, as it always does with any gate hinge post. I plan to use Wedge-Loc corner braces with a longer gate, with bracing wire aligned with the diagonal bracing T-post, pulling the posts together against the brace. (Fingers crossed.) If you have an opportunity to provide feedback to Wedge-Loc, you might want to request a means of securing the brace T-post to the 60deg socket, and locking the 60deg socket to the collar. With those features, no bracing wire would be needed.

I like this mount kit for a gate. I noticed on the web site that this bracket is on back order. Do you have an estimate on when they will be available?

Nice video. Nice to have good help, too.

What do you do for a gate to go in and out?

Can these be used with greater than 90 degree corner angle?

What´s the aluminium pipe´s (the legs) diameter?

On electrified strands, does the loop around the strainer or tensioner provide good continuity to allow continuous flow or would wrapping the wire be better?

Would it be better or possible to not cut the wire but put the strainer inline then tighten ?

Please do a video on T posts with High Tensile Wire (using Wedgeloc corners)!

This will work with high tensil?

I like the gate brackets! Another question, what are you using for the 3 horizontal rails & associated brackets on the fence itself? I like that look and might fit a use case I have.

Over priced junk

Thanks for the excellent video. Very well organized and informative.

What wire spacing do you prefer and how many are hot?

Lean the post so your helper can reach without doing a military press !

Hi! This wedge lock system works very well! I have used them on 3 of my 4ft gates. Im getting a couple of 6 foot gates and one gate will be on a corner. Is there any kind of tension system that would work for the gate not to sag? I have googled and searched but cant find anything. Thanks!

How do you tighten the split bolt without it squeezing together and making the nut jump the threads

The torque tool with the large gripples very hard to work with

I'd like to see the proper way to connect 2 pieces, or to another wire. thx

Thinking about moving out to the country and getting a nice large lot, no animals. This will be a nice way to mark off my property

How do we remove the music so we can hear the instructions?
