I’m dying when you said wouldnt wanna do this without gloves then it cuts to you in sandals 😭 great video!
I am in the middle of fencing in part of my daughter's yard with 300 feet of 4' welded wire fence to keep her dog in. I needed to find an easy way to spool out the wire and tension it. For spooling wire, I took a 5 1/2 foot tamping/prybar and cut out a slot the size of the wedge on the bottom of the bar in a piece of scrap 2"x12". Then I took a piece of cardboard about the same size as the scap wood to rest the fence on and cut out another slot for the bar. Then I set the 100 foot roll of fence on the cardboard and wood scrap and jammed the bar through the slots on the cardboard and wood scrap about 6" into the ground. The wire spools out quite easily because the cardboard spins freely over the scap of wood. For tensioning I used 2, 4 foot 2"x4" boards and bolted them to the end of the fence. I then hooked up a ratchet strap that was anchored to a tree near the end of the fence and pulled it up nice and tight so i could attach it to my fence posts.
Sounds like a great solution... thanks for watching!
I always thought Bat Man was a Millionaire and could hire people to do this type of work. I've been lied to...lol.
This is a broke bruce wayne... haha.. thanks for watching!
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and I am glad I could help. I cant wait for the spring! take care.
This helped me so much! Thank you!!!
❤thank you very informative 😊
Very helpful!! Thank you very much!!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the video
GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you!
best video on fencing.
Thanks for watching! I added a video a couple weeks ago about doing my corner braces... check it out!
Thank you! First time doing a fence and this makes it look so easy!☺️
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. My 15 yo is installing my garden fence and this was so helpful.
Thank you for your most useful video. I am installing my fence 8.20.22 and feel confident that I will be successful due to your video. I am subscribed to your channel now.
Thanks for watching! and good luck with your fence.
Guess what I'm doing today with it 95° out? Putting up a 6 ft. 2" x 4" mesh, welded-wire fence on 7 ft. T-posts, driven in to 5 1/2 ft exposed.
I just finished installing the T-posts, and since this is my first welded wire fence, I thought I would watch a video to see if I'm doing things right. Looks like the only difference, is that I put 6" x 8' round wood post in the corners, and one for the gate's hinge-side. I put those in yesterday.
Thank you for a clear and concise video on how to install this fencing, Scott!
Got to get back out there before it cools down! 😅
Thanks for watching and good luck!
This is one way to do it, tho' most of us rural types might suggest you are using the T-post Clips incorrectly.
Helpful hint so your fingers in gloves still dont get poked thru endings wrap duct tape around thumb and finger that way gives gloves a bit more layer from getting the wire thru from wrapping ending..
Another way you can do it after you have it unrolled on the ground weave your posts in and out of the holes and then stand them up one at a time and drive them with the fence already on it
Thank you!
thanks for watching.. glad I could help!
It would be helpful to know how to start a new fence (not an add-on to existing) from the very first post.
Will be doing some fencing for our friends dogs. How hard would it be to add a gate?
How are you attaching your diagonal support tposts to your corners? I went to your tpost installation video and didn't find it there either. I've been searching for a way to brace my corners without having to buy wedgelock.
Same
What pound post driver should I use for the t posts if I'm trying to do a 6 foot fence? I need 8 ft posts correct? I didn't realize post drivers have different weights.
I used 7 foot T posts and a 6 foot fence. My posts are driven in about a 1.5 feet so there is about 6 inches of fence above the T post - I have had zero issues so far. As far as the pound of post driver, i would suggest using a two handed post driver like in a couple of other videos i have, they are about $30-$40 but worth 1000.. haha.. thanks for watching!
What do you do for a gate?
👌
How far away would you recommend the t post should be from each other? I been wanting to put sum up with the meshed wire and a black tarp for some pool privacy
Thanks for watching!.. If you are going to put a tarp on it, which will hold the wind like sail, I would suggest about 8-10 feet from each other and at least 2 feet into the ground... take care!
@@fearlbridgefarms9409 appreciate the quick response man✊🏾
Nice. This looks like what I want to do. What is the spacing of the t posts? I imagine 10’. Also do you see any leaning of the posts over time? I was considering wood posts but may only need them at the man gates.
I did 10-ish feet apart. They have been in the ground for about 3 years now and no leaning yet! fingers crossed. Thanks for watching!
is it not necessary to use a come-along or something to stretch the fence?
To make it absolutely tight, yes it is
I have discovered the fence wire clips sold by Lock Jaws is even easier to work with. Tim in northern TN
Thanks for waching and the suggestion!
I will try out a bag of them. If they are as good as advertised, then getting a bunch of the.
Getting ready to do this too! How far down do you drive the t-posts? I'm thinking of doing a 6' fence as well
Thanks for watching! I went down a few inches past the anchor plate.
Great to know! Video was super helpful. Looking forward to getting some land fenced up @@fearlbridgefarms9409
How did you get that so tight with no stretcher? I’m having such a hard time doing mine. The tops keep bowing. It’s only 4’ tall. I’m also going up hills.
Thanks for watching! How far apart are your posts? mine are only about 10 feet apart which help with keeping the fence upright. Ground is also relatively flat so that may also be a factor.
@@fearlbridgefarms9409 Ten feet eh? I am planning on eight feet post spacing on pretty much level ground. Should work for me.
@@bugwar5545 .. that should work great! I wish my ground was more level. Good luck to you and thanks for watching.
what gauge is the wire fence roll? Thanks for the video.
14 gauge.. thanks for watching!
Do you have to cement some of your posts? I'm trying to do this for my yard and my neighbor said I had to cement every other one? I'm a single mom with no experience. I'm just trying to make my yard safer for my little one😅😊also will this keep donkeys out? We have a ass problem up here in the mountains.
Nice job! How about the bottom? Not dug in ground, just level to bottom?
just level to the bottom for my purposes. If I was fighting ground hogs or skunks or something like that, I would want to go into the ground a foot or so. I am just keeping out the deer... Thanks for watching!
8 ft apart?
What gauge wire fencing did you use in this video?
14 gauge... thanks for watching!
Why do they need fence stretcher if you don’t need it
are those 8' T posts?
Thanks for watching! They are 7.5 feet.
What kind of wire you used sir?
its galvanized welded wire, 6 foot tall.. Thanks for watching!
@@fearlbridgefarms9409 is that with 5ft t posts?
@@mcloud98mc the fence is 6 foot and the posts have 5 feet above ground - I have had no issues with the fence so far... strong as can be. thanks for watching!!
do you realize there is a very great special tool to put clips on t post? try one you will love it.
Ive seen them but I have never used one. I was thinking about expanding the fenced in area this spring, maybe ill get one and try it. Thanks for watching!
Try doing that by yourself with a 300 ft roll of woven wire!!!
No thanks! Ill stick with my 50 foot roll by hand. Id have to get some much better equipment to do a real 300 foot roll... thats an entirely different ball game.... thanks for watching!
That's why you lay it on the ground and unroll it all the way and then stand it up as you're going along instead of trying to fight that damn roll just a thought though
I think higher t posts would have been better?
50 foot wire rolls for ease of handling eh?
I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for watching! If I had a 3 point wire stretcher for my tractor, i could do a larger roll but the 50 foot roll works just fine for me... take care!
Don't you have to tighten the fence?
If I was using my fence to keep livestock in, yes, I would tighten it. The purpose of my fence is simple to deter wildlife from going in... thanks for watching!
I see you have shrinkflation going on there with the fence.
I wonder if i go back to the store they will give me a refund for the missing length... haha.. thanks for watching!
45’ lol are the cutting fence like they do lumber just knock off that 5’ and the customer will never know 😈
Its amazing isn't it! I'm glad i wasn't calculating or building a fence to cover a huge area.. my cost estimates would be way off.. Thanks for watching!
The majority of the videos you see of people doing this on here are idiots they keep trying to fight that role by keeping it standing up. Lay it on the ground and then unroll it and stand it up as you're going along
The tposts are not completely in the ground.
Its just to keep deer out, all good
Why didn’t you stretch your fence? It’s terribly loose. I’ve never seen a fence like this installed so poorly.
Good morning! I did not strech it because the intent is not to contain any livestock. It is simply a barrier for a garden. Thanks for watching! 😀
Looks good to me.
Wrong
Good enough for what it's for, keeping deer out
That intro was over the top bruh
Helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped in some way.
