Daniel, you have a “drive to work” that many people do not have today. You probably don’t have much available time away from your state job but you appear to make the best of it. And your willingness to show how a job can be accomplished as a one man project requires a lot of thought on your part. And you spend much time editing your project videos. Your instructions make the task less complicated and are helpful to your followers. Thank you for sharing your family and work activities out on “the place”....we look forward to each and every blog.
Thank you! I really do appreciate the kind words. I love working outside and it is a huge stress reliever for me.
I don't know what you're on about, lots of people have a drive to work that they do every day, followed by a drive back home.
J Odden why do you have to be so negative? Have you ever expressed a compliment?
do not have a tractor!
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead Daniel the background music sounds like something from a hank jr. Album.
2 years later, super helpful, no special tools, doing it solo. Couldn't ask for more! Thank you for putting this out there!
Well the good news is I got my fence up using your guidance. The bad news is I'm five digits in debt after I had to buy a tractor to tie the come-along cable to.
Got exactly the same problem, no way I can use a tractor or 4 wheeler to use as anchor for the come along :(
@@emiliemaltais1309 a deep set post is good enough for tension we never used a tractor as an anchor for a come along
😂
City kids
@@tobakus2679 I know plenty country folk who can’t afford a tractor either.
My twin sister and I just bought our property and we're going to use mesh fencing for our horses and this has been THE most helpful fencing video I've come across! Thank you!!
I like your way of putting up fence. The way we do it takes forever. My husband one of those people that everything has to be perfect. He gets mad at me if the wire on the fence does not line up perfectly straight with the T post. I tell him I don't care, the neighbors don't care and the cows certainly don"t care. He said I care. It's funny now but not when I am putting up fence. LOL
Awesome! I made my own version of the boards, and used a ratchet strap wound through the brush guard on my truck to tighten some new fencing for our rams winter pasture and it worked beautifully. Now I can finish their fencing nice and tight and get the ewes new winter paddock in place before the snow comes in a fraction of the time. Thanks
At ALL of my corners or bends, I always run my wire on the outside of my corner post then back to the inside. It gives you greater support.
Have a nice day Arms family 😀😃😆😁💕. Your dad a Genius.
So many kids these days don't have a responsible Dad to show them how to do these things. Your videos are so valuable to show kids you can do just about anything if you will be patient and learn and have a good resource to turn to. That resource is you. :^) Thanks for sharing.
Im in the process of building a fence around .5 acre. Absorbing so many great ideas and tips by you and many other youtubers!
You are so very fortunate to have had a professional fence builder dad to learn from.
99.999 percent of people have not had that opportunity.
He also obviously taught you the value of hard work.
Great looking fence so far!
Super informative video Daniel, thanks! I'm getting ready to replace about a 100ft of woven wire myself and your instructions wrt stretching the fence will make it that much easier, thanks again!
Most excellent tips that I WISH I would have known when I first put up our fence but I can most certainly do it this time. Thanks so much!
Very interesting and informative. It was especially nice that you shared your Father's method on the woven wire.
It's amazing you were able to all that by yourself, good job buddy.
Thank you for this! I don’t have a tractor so I’ll improvise. Looks economical. I think it will be a good mother & son job to do.
Best video I've found and I've looked! You showed how to wrap the end while keeping it tight. Newbies don't know these things and I helped to see it done.. Thank you
I am a grandmother of five and I watch your channel all the time. I am raising two of them and you know I don’t have much of a life. I love ❤️ watching your channel! Yes I did see the dirt on your face .Funny!!!!
Ive run acres and acres of barbed wire but recently put up a wire fence and knew there was a better way. So glad i checked youtube before i got started on replacing the remaining 20 acres of fencing. Thanks
Great minds think alike. I always stretched my wire sandwich between two boards like you did. You learned very well from your dad how to build a fence.
I appreciate you showing this, with the near future my wife and I will be purchasing some land, videos are amazing for little fella like myself.
You are awesome. Amazingly simple and clear explanations. So often they assume we know more than we do and skip over what they consider the "basic" steps.
Thanks dude! Just landed a 3000ft fencing job using no-climb fencing which a bit different than build then my normal cedar requests but this helped me visualize some key steps
Ive been needing these fence videos. I'm going to start mine soon.
Nice, you make things easy to understand. Our first fence is sagging pretty well so its the last one we will replace.
Great video...just put in about 200 feet of wire. So, glad I saw how you put the wire between two board. I used 2x4x4 and bolted them together. saved us so much time. we were able to pull 100 ft. at once. it was nice and tight and straight. Thank you for the video.
Built my first pasture with woven wire in 2015. It has since: gotten loose from the end posts, been pulled out and loosened by the sheep so they can jump it, had trees fall on it and snap the wire, and so much snow fall the sheep could walk out of the pasture with a bunny hop.
My 2020 fence is going to be ROCK SOLID. Especially with your advice and tips. You'd be surprised how common sense your little demonstration was NOT. You didn't use a single nail(I was told to use u-nails when I built mine before). I'm very excited to begin the last phase of my new fence. Thank you so much for posting this and giving us layman a hand out here.
Glad I watched your video. I'm about ready to install my horse fence and learned the proper way to stretch it from your video. Thanks
Amazing video! You did an amazing job at explaining this and I feel confident at installing my fence.
Thanks for the tip. I plan on getting this wire and a few T-posts to make some trellis’ for my Luffa and birdhouse gourds.
Great job, Daniel. That clamp is the only way to stretch wire. We had one on our farm down in South Georgia that was bought somewhere, that was much thicker and rounded on the edges. That was over 60 years ago. Awesome video. 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same with us,my dad who is 93,used that method
I know its been a minute since posting this video, but thank you for the clear and informative instruction on how to tackle this solo. I'm starting my goat fence this week (likely alone) and this video has been the best one I've found with some great techniques to "keep it simple stupid." Keep up the good work brother.
Best tutorial I’ve found for putting up a woven wire fence. Thank you Daniel.
Great Job Daniel!. We use the same system streching chain link fencing.
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. Especially how the t post strap works and up close where we can see. I was actually looking for something else and found your video. I definitely needed that info. Now, to find how to use a staple gun on how to staple wire fence to wood.
Nicely done - really appreciate you taking the time to help someone who needed to learn this.
Great job!
Keeping It Dutch Is he getting sheep?
Thanks for the fence building lessons! I've learned a couple of valuable things :)
We used the board like that to pull our fence tight as well, but we had six bolts going through it. Works pretty well for pulling hog wire
Thanks for sharing your wonderful information. I don’t have a tractor, but I will try to pull it with my pick up truck. Thanks again.
Looks like you are doing good. The puller you used is the same kind we used 40 years ago except we had 2x4's instead of 1x4. That was for FDOT when I worked there. The bad thing was we used the same puller when stretching 3 strands of barbed wire at once too, in non traffic areas, which can be quite tricky (and prickly). Great job Daniel. Stay Safe. Later Okie
Cut a circle piece of plywood with a hole big enough to slip over your hayforks and you'll keep that roll from hanging up while your rolling it out.👍
Daniel, you make that look soooooo easy! like you said it's a much better process if ya have extra hands, and the right tools which you seem to have covered pretty well ! your animals will love their new grazing area! Thanks for sharing life on Arms Family Homestead over your CZcams channel.
You made it look easy Daniel, great job!
You're really an inspiration, Sir, having so much patience and effort in doing your planned task. And, your Dad really taught you well! I hope Weston and Houston will earn those traits as they grow up.
Anyways, i'm guessing you're getting ready to care for bisons as well?! Or maybe those big cows so there'll be enough meat to last for months. The kids are growing fast and of course their body requires more food as they mature.
Thanks again for sharing this. I surely learned things about keeping fences sturdy, though i have no need for that. It's just nice learning something new from a professional like you.
Until then, Sir. More power to you!!
Love your channel brother! Thanks for sharing.
The fence is coming along, looking good!
Excellent video to show us how to stretch woven wire fence. Plus your instruction on installing t post clips is so easy. For a novice, looking at those clips is pretty confusing.
Simple and to the point! Great vid!
Thanks for this buddy, just simplified my day tomorrow (even though it’s just me), because today I did it all wrong and I want to go back and do it right now that I know better. Thanks again!
If you do exactly what you did, but stretch from 3 or 4 feet past where your last pole is, it is even easier...…..just cut one wire at a time and transfer the tension to the pole.
I was going to ask why such a large distance between the stretcher and the corner post, but going past and doing one wire at a time is a great idea! Thank you for suggesting that.
Exactly. Why bother stretching if you're just going to wrap a slack end around your brace post?
Fantastic! Being in the middle of building a goat shelter & larger fenced in area for the goats to run around, this is a great help! I’m hoping this works as well as you say because my goats have horns 🥴
This was AMAZING! Thank you my husband and I need to build a fence
I watch plenty of how to early in the morning, just to see if their is a trick I don't know. This is one of the better overall videos I have seen in a while.
I installed a welded wire fence, and a friend asked me why the t-post weren't vertical. I went and got a level to prove they were plumb, and then explained that fence posts should always be plumb, and the fence should follow the lay of the land, hence the post and the wire not being at the same angle.
Great trick with that set of clamp boards!
I used this trick....AND IT WORKED AWESOME! thanks for the tip.
Very professional and explained super easy. Thank you.
Great video! I am glad I found your channel. We are going to be starting our ranch this year for our channel.
Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I needed to know and see.
That's a great job you dun there on the fence 👍👍
I made one of those stretchers 50 years ago but I used two 2x4's instead. After stretching a section I cut off the wire but left enough extruding that I could tie in the wire for the next stretch without having to unclamp the board.
Love your fence but I do have a suggested tip that was taught to me by my Father many years ago
You have your nice tidy stock netting on probably not a cheap item to purchase and you have your barb at the top put a barb stand on the bottom this will insure sheep and goats manly won't push under netting at the bottom as they will try to do .
The netting wire is also up out of the grass and will last way longer free from rusting up.
Cheers from New Zealand.
Thanks my friend a lot I’m doing it by myself too so it helped a lot. Thank you.
Great video! Appreciate the tips and tricks!!
Awesome video...Thank you so much for sharing this!
man, you just saved me a ton of time as a new property owner.
Another great video! Thank you for breaking it down and your absolutely right it's not rocket science thank you
We use a board on one side and a cut down piece of old stop sign post on the other. Metal clamps tight into board and is stronger. Those stupid things at TSC are over $50. Free is so much better!
I don't have a come along or tractor or any good tools so I stretch my wire with hammers and then nail it or clip it while holding tension. Never gets the fence as tight as I'd like but like you said Daniel it gets the job done. Oh and its very hard to do by yourself the way I do it. I'm lucky to have enough family that will help out if I ask. My brothers have come alongs tho so maybe Ill just borrow theirs next time. 😉
Love you ideas I just would have seen this earlier but I have more to do
I use zip ties to hold fence to post, just too easy not to. Like your board pull design, great share
Found you on google maps nice to see view of where your at gives more prospective to the videos
Yeppers let me repeat myself from the last video (barbed wire). This is going to help fix a previously paid for bad job. Stupid simple....live and learn. Thanks!
Great fence work. Your dad had a good student.
Another great job, amazing what we learn from our parents. :)
Things often only have to be invented/figured out once. Not that I always realized it when I was young and dumb
Thanks so much I learn a lot today with your video!!!
I so wanted to learn this...so glad you made this video... :)).
Awesome lesson, many thanks for the help
Great job. my goat barn fell in because of snow but the goats were in my horse barn
You stretch fence exactly like I do :) Good stuff!
Thanks for sharing Daniel. God Bless
I don't know how you put the t posts in but I just finished putting some in myself -- I made a 2x4 stand 4 ft tall and started the t post with a hammer then used my front end loader on my tractor and mashed it down to the level of the stand -- worked like great -- no need for a driver -- I set 30 t posts in just a little bit -- hope this helps
I fenced my farm the same way except where possible I used my tractor to do the stretching.
This was very informative. Thank you.
I use a single wire fence stretcher to tighten individual strands. When you wrap one horizontal wire around the pole, attach the stretcher to the wire end, then attach the stretcher to that same horizontal on the other side of the pole. When you tighten the stretcher, the horizontal strand above or below the tightened wire also gets tight. Wrap that one around itself. Repeat the procedure until you run out of strands to tighten.

Thanks for the tips! Great video!
Thanks man! Going fencen right now!
Came across your fence videos. Thank you for your time. I always had a question about fence building like this. What if your property goes uphill and then straightens out or vice versa? I've always wondered how that works?
very nice video. well done!
Boy you taught me a trick today thanks alot man 😮
Got 620 feet to stretch tomorrow thank god for your video
Hey Daniel thanks for showing how to build the fence. Oh by way. Ole Dutch wouldn't have used gloves. Lol
This was a very helpful video
straight talk. thanks for sharing.
great job. great channel! thank you
Thank you for sharing.
Good Job, When building a fence I like to say. "It needs to be tight and it needs to be good. But we're not building pianos".
da dan dan, just watched dutches fencing work. you my good man need to teach that marine how. sad day in the neighborhood/lol
That was very helpful! Thank you!
