are you using aluminum crimps??
In this video, we are not. We are using our C23 (kencove.com/fence/Crimp+Sleeves_detail_C23.php). However, we do have aluminum crimps, (kencove.com/fence/Crimp+Sleeves_detail_C2LAL.php)
Why is the first and the top wire not energized?
Isn't not better to energize the bottom wire to prevent the predators from going under?
Great question! This all comes down to context! For this particular fence, we were fencing in sheep and cattle, that are fairly well trained to electric fence. We do not have much issues with predators in our location. If you have predators, or animals that may test the fence, you may opt to electrify all the lines.
One thing we like to do when you aren't sure what you may need in the future, is to set the fence up so that every line could be electrified at any point by disconnecting or connecting lead wires.
@@KencoveFarmFence normally 3 hot wires is enough, never do bottom wire, as grass growth, shorts, out the fence.
@@abbo3272 that is certainly a concern if there is not maintenance for weed growth in place. If your livestock respect not having a hot bottom wire, and you do not have predator pressure, that is certainly an option to not energizer the bottom strand. Thats the great thing about fencing, there are lots of options!
Looks like an incredibly expensive way to build a fence !
High Tensile fence is a relatively cost efficient option for permanent fence. Once built, it will require you very little maintenance and upkeep.
Looks like a very nice fence but I tend to agree with beerancher3225
The problem is you are leaving the tensioners (strainers) and a gauge in the finished fence.
This is super convenient if you have to come back for maintenance but as you said in your reply, it probably won't need much.
If you strain at the end of the fence and use a 'clip on' gauge you could reduce your costs significantly.

You can build yours cheaply if you want. Just know you’ll be repairing or replacing it sooner. A lot of those items are galvanized w/ at least a 20yr life span. Do you though. By all means.
My "cheap" fences have been standing with only very occasional re-tensioning since long before you were born .
@@beerancher3225 awfully arrogant considering you have no idea when i was born. Good luck w/ your bee fences bud.
They waste a lot of wire
