Excellent demonstraiton. thank you for sharing. I've seen these fencing corner brace arrangements exactly like this or similar, hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years. But I've never had the occasion to actually watch them being constructed. Nice to actually see one being put together.
Outstanding videos Pete. The fact that you go through all steps and show the tools used to complete helps out tremendously!
Thank you 🙂
Great video. I will be doing fencing soon and this is the most simple way I have seen to do corners. Thanks.
Beautiful demo Sir... watching from Africa
Thank you for taking the time to share this skill with us!
Thank you 👍
Great video! I normally use the tractor to position the horizontal braces before using the long bit to drill the holes. It makes sure rebar is aligned correctly while driving it in.
Thanks for this, Pete! I really like how you didn't over engineer everything. I was really glad to see the reliable simplicity of your wire stays. (I was over thinking that bit) I hope the orchard is going well. I'm currently building my fencing to keep out elk and coyotes.
Thank you 👍
Outstanding video! Very detailed step-by-step procedure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience with us! Sincere regards!
Great video!! I am having to repair several fence parts on my property. This certainly helps me with some extra ideas. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you
Your method and instruction was very helpful. Built a solid fence using your method. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Thanks for a good demonstration. Now we’ll start fencing in the spring. God bless you.
I just found your channel. Loving it... Blessings to you! I really needed to learn this info for a future project!
Thank you ☺
Honestly the best fencing videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks a ton!
Thank you 👍
My wife and I are just starting our homestead...you can bet we are going to use this technique. Thanks!!!
👍
Nice work, and it's peaceful listening to you explain what your doing without all the anoying useless info other channels are providing. You hit the nail on the head when you said there are other ways of doing it, but this was cheap and it works. I'm all for the cheapest way as long as it works and it lasts. I will be doing a similar project but around a veggie garden here in Minnesota. I will be going a bit shorter height though because our dog is able to keep out all the potential animal intruders. Thanks again!
Thank you 👍
Thank you for this video! Better information here than from the building supply house where i bought the posts. I appreciate you man!!
Thank you 👍🙂
Great job! Gonna be doing that some time soon on our project!
Thank you
Your video has answers to a lot of my questions, other than setting up posts too. Plus, nice to see an Indian brand tractor operating in US. Cheers :)
Thank you
You did such a super job with this video, Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love your channel. Learning a lot from every video.
Thank you, I really appreciate that 👍
Mans best friend besides a dog is the posthole auger!🤠
Absolutely👍
And a Crescent Wrench (farmers friend).
Great video series. I'm moving to rural Maine and trying to figure out a low cost, effective deer exclusion solution for the garden/orchard. Thanks for the well produced helpful vids.
This was probably the best video on setting a corner post I have seen. Thank you very much
pvtrout Thank you, I really appreciate that.
His presentation style is good!
Thank you sir. You just have done my day. I work on it tomorrow!
👍
Amazing video. I started the day thinking of building a T post fence.... Now after three of your videos I know I'm doing it the right way now. Only difference is I have to use 4x4 or 6x6 treated and maybe log cabin screws.. I can not get the posts like your here... plus now I have to get a post hole drill for my tractor! Oh and to save a little I'm building the gates with square tubing and expanded metal... Great video you have a new subscriber.....
Thank you 😊
Good job. Nice soil. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed this thanks hope the dogs are all doing OK best of luck...
Dobbo2958 Thank you
Great video. I will be putting a fence up soon and this will be very handy!
Thank you
Thank you Sir!
Awesome job!

That is a really nice corner post , I sure do like the way you have done it, nice and sturdy. My husband always put the gate on the ground and it had gotten so hard for me to open is why I said what I did about the wheel, we ended up putting them on the gates :-)
Thank you, wheels definitely help carry the weight and make it much easier to open but the ground has to be fairly flat or level. Thanks for watching.
I go to a lot of farm sales. Over the last few years i have picked up a lot of cheap cable come alongs. Easy to use for your bracing.
👍
Great video, Thanks. Fixin to start a fencing job and this really helps me find out how to brace the corners.
really like the idea of coating the post bottoms, should last a LONG time !!
Thanks
좋은 거 보여주셔서 감사합니다.
Good job.Thanks for sharing.
.. You are a Very Patient and Very Dedicated Man .. Great Job building those Corner-Posts ..
Thank you 👍
Thanks. Great video, worth the watch.
steve myers Thank you
Great video. Thanks the step by step process and detail.
👍
I always use a new project to justify a new tool purchase. It's clear to me now... what I am missing to make this whole thing come together is the tractor.
Awesome video. Helped me with a college project.
👍
Just Wonderful. Learnt many things! Thank you
Thank you
Thanks, just learning to farm. About to start fencing for 3 cows
Thank you 👍
Good video sir. We are doing some fencing on our land. Gonna use this video as a guide. Thanks
👍
Awesome, very helpful, thanks!
Very helpful with how to do the wire bracing.
Don Clark Thank you

👍
I am a first time viewer love what I see so far!
Thank you ☺
You are the best!👍👍👍
Nice job. Thanks.
Ghil Reese Thank you
Wow man, nice lawn. Wish I could grow that much down here in West Oz. I’d need way too much water to look after an area that big. Great clip too mate, cheers 🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Well done!
Larry Leone Sorry for the late response, but thank you
Very interesting to watch 👍

Thank you 👍
Great video!! Thank you.
Thank you
Great job!
Thank you 👍
Great video! I’m about to build our goat pen with utility poles I’m getting for free from our electric company. Also going to use them as raised beds.
Like that car in the background when you're digging the holes
Nice job
Thanks!
thank you for this.
Excellent video! Thank You. Looked online and could not find 6”x10’ posts at Tractor Supply.
Thank you, but the posts are made locally here in east Texas. Try to do a search in your area for the posts.
Thank you I learned something
👍
Thanks, I am going to do the same but down sized a little. I'll make my 2 acres in town look like country.
👍
I wish my land was level like your...lol. Oh well. Great job. Handsome fella. Wish I could have help you.
Just thinking about the use of a tension wire for bracing as opposed to the old method of a compression timber pole brace that goes in opposite direction. With a gate hanging off that post the wire helps to keep the vertical posts and the horizontal beam clamped together tighter, were as the wooden brace method would pull apart. But if its just fencing wire on both sides I think I still prefer the good old wooden braces, also with notches on all joints to stop slipping up and down the posts. It's the old school Chippy 🔨 in me, can't beat a good mechanical joint over relying on just fastenings. 👍🏽
Good work....nice video :)
HARI KRISHNA Thank you
This guy has his sh!t together ! Great job & great video ! Lot's of Anglo women have to be wondering, how come he didn't choose local. Thanks for the super video Pete, this helped me much.
Glad it was helpful 👍
I have been looking for a video like this for a while, clean, straight to the point. When I'll do mine I was thinking about sealing the top of the post (crosscut) facing the sky with the same protective paint you used at the bottom to avoid water to stagnate in small pockets and eventually get its way into the post which with freezes may promote wood cracking. I have no experience though so don't know how strong that treated post is so I may be overthinking.
Hi, ok so most posts fail at the ground to air interface. Water itself does not rot wood. It actually PRESERVES IT! Wood rot happens from a repeated "wet-dry' cycle. When this happens the wood fibers swell and shrink and it weakens them. That is rot.
OK the tops of post do rot as well and take lots of sun too. This will eventually cause too rot, but it's less likely to do anything major to the post. Most will fail at the bottom first as I stated.
Painting the tops would certainly slow down the top rot. However that roof sealer will crack eventually and let water in.
Maybe a better solution would be plastic caps. Like they use for piers at the seashore. They may last a lot longer. ?
Thank Mr Push, I have also seen some homesteaders cutting the top at an angle facing south so rain water slide down and it get direct sun in winter.
thats some nice soil there. good video
Thanks 👍
very well done! new subscriber here, looks like a beautiful place!
Thank you
Awesome!
Excellent ! From wise county tx .
Thank you
Pete nice job with the post,well it’s been 2 years so I am guessing you will getting some fruit this year.
Thanks, I had pears, plumbs, persimmons and nectarines last year but I never got to taste the nectarines but the raccoons did. 🙁
What size auger did you use to drill the holes
I have found It's easier to position the cross bar then drill the holes, especially when working alone. Less work lining up pree drilled holes.
Set all corner posts , first , pull a string........then set all other posts for each corner !
Y
I've been building a fence post brace post like that for 40 years but I always put my posts in the ground 4 feet deep
👍
Pallet forks for the loader sure does make that job a lot easier.
👍
I know its pretty had when you work by yourself. You could have cut the top of you post at a 45* to shed water or maybe you will tar them. Also you could paint an X or a + with bright paint so you could hit dead center. Nice Job !
👍
Stanley Keith I'd have to mark it too! He's pretty handy to be able to eyeball it that well .
Best instructional video for corner bracing install I found. Thank you so much! Where did you buy your posts from?
Nice job, unless that end treatment allows water to escape it will build up and still rot the bottom. If you ever have removed a bad fence post ( like the ones you have )the top always rots first due to the fact that water enters the top (seal the top and forget the rest) the post is already treated also add rock to the bottom so any water drains
Thanks, These post are CCA treated and should last 30 years but I also treated the post that makes ground contact with roofing tar except the very bottom so water can get out.
I have those long drills. They go through like lightning.
I never brace the corner posts. I use old FPL concrete posts for the corners and bury them 5 feet in the ground. You just put galvanized rod through holes you drill and hook the tension bar. A brush fire destroys wood posts so it's concrete and steel here. Plus the ground is mostly coral rock.
That sound horrible to try and dig into.
Painting them was a great idea -- thanks . Last week lowes appraised regular metal fence for 5,600$$$$ ----hahahaha ====>>>>SHIT!!!!!!!
.
just a question, why didnt you set the horizontal posts inbetween the corner post on the pallet forks and then drill the holes for the re bar and then hammer it in while in place? It seems that it would be easier then pre drilling and trying to line everything up after the fact. Thanks, great video and new subscriber
That would work too. I could of got one end in place the drilled through and hammered the rebar in, then go do the same to the other side.
how wide do you space your corner posts for the brace?
Awesome
I've seen a deer jump a 10' high chainlink fence. Also good job on the fence. I am a fence contractor in SW Florida. I install pvc, chainlink aluminum and wood fence. Ill be installing my first no climb horse fence in a month or so.
Thank you, Yes deer are amazing jumpers. I'm hoping to deter the deers from jumping the 7 foot fence into my orchard.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading I own a commercial orchard. 7' is plenty. They will not jump 7' to get in, however they can and will jump it if you leave the gate open and chase them out....Been there, done that!
thank you so much
👍
PA Lawn Guy. Pete, I was thinking I would take some marking dye and paint a concentric circle around each stake, remove the stakes, and move the auger to each circle without having to dismount the tractor twice at each stake to drill each hole. I think this would save you time.
Please leave your thoughts.
Jerry F Sorry for the late response. Yeah that's a good idea but I still have to get off the tractor to make sure the auger is straight.
Awesome video! I’m curious about the length of the 3/8” rebar you use to hold up the crossbeam. I assume it’s 1’ but just thought I’d ask. Thanks a million!
yep, the 3/8 rebar is 12 inches long.
Great video! Bet those corners last for maaaannnny years! Aug 9 2018
Kay M Thank you, I hope they do too. These posts are treated to last 30 years, I'll be 85 but I didn't think I'll be replacing them then or if ill even make it 😉
