- Greg explains his Timeless Post installation for his new perimeter fence on their leased farm. There is nothing like building a new fence that you know will perform for the rest of your life. My saying is, "Build it once with Timeless Posts for a lifetime fence."
With Timeless posts there are no insulators required, holes are predrilled, UV coated, pre-sharpened, depth gauge on each post, and 20-year warranty. They are super easy to install and very attractive when erected. Remember, "The Post Is the Insulator"
My disclaimer: I am a Timeless Post dealer for one reason, there is no better post and I love using them on my farms. To get in touch with them, call 1-800-788-4709 or visit their website: timelessfencesystem.com

Hands down the Best fence system you can buy! After installation is complete, you will hardly ever think about it, except for how nice it looks. Three years in now, and is just as it was the day we installed it. The a frame corners are awesome, the concrete on the bottom of the post keep them from pushing up through the frost. Also the neighbors love the look. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
After putting up some Timeless fence, I can say that I love it. I have two pallets of metal t posts that I will probably sell to get more Timeless posts. Thank you for explaining why you wired the high tensile on. The fence I put up has the top wire, wired on, and the rest going through the holes. We strung the first wire up before pounding the line posts, so we had a guide wire.
Scott and I also recommend he Timeless post. We figured it out and by the time you buy insulators and put in mor posts the difference was negligible. We are getting ready to fence another 13 acres.
Thank you so much for your content Mr. Judy, I've been watching the videos for a long time and finally want to put it into practice, I'm hoping to lease some land next year.
As fencing is the foremost step I'm trying to learn from your experience, I know you talk about fibre glass posts as well so I'm excited to understand the different aspects of perimeter fencing.
Great video as always! The farm we bought had steel post with woven wire fencing so to get started rotational grazing , I temporarily used lock jawz insulators to run a hot wire around the perimeter
Thank you for the video.
I puased the video for a minute to say, I didn't know much of anything but trouble was still made in the USA anymore.
Good Morning Greg.
Good morning sir!!
I bought all my wire last year. I'll get the posts and charger this time. Mowing fields all these years seems so ridiculous now-worst part-I sold 5 adjoining acres! Workin' on it, when I'm not working at the j.o.b.
Thanks for clearing us up on the Honeylocust. I'm not against 'em, but they're not a nuisance in this area. I may plant a few.
Morning, nice looking fence! I love my timeless fence, not sure when I bought my posts you were a dealer, but I mentioned to Brad that you introduced me to them. I contemplated becoming a rep here in Utah, but as I talked to farm supply stores, found out that Utah is still far from wanting to buy a permanent electric fence.
That means there's lots of growth potential and you're on the ground floor with no competition(!)
There is one modification to the Timeless post that I would make, engineer a pass for the wire, so your wire could be installed in the holes after it is stretched out.
We need a decent supplier of Timeless posts in Australia please Timeless 🙏
Give them a call maybe you would be interested
Great video Mr Judy. Do you typically face your posts toward your neighbors or the road? On just like this because of the recycled wire??
I'll have to try this with goats. Prolly add some more strands but it looks better than using t posts, and I can connect the electrical to my electro nets to branch off from it.
I pulled up about 350 steel T posts and even though most were probably over 25 years old and rusty I sold all of them on craigs and used the money to buy Timeless posts. So there is a market for old used steel T posts even though you think no one would want them they actually sold faster than some of the other things I had listed go figure.
Do you have a dealer close to you or did they ship the posts?
@@feelnrite I bought from a dealer in my area. If you buy a large quantity of posts Timeless will ship them to you for free this month I think the promotion is a purchase of $2,200 would qualify.
@@feelnrite they will ship them any where, the freight is not too bad, and if the order is large enough the shipping is free, give them a call.
@feelnrite Reject Ranch is a dealer 30 miles from our farm.
Getting ready to put up 7 wire, 42 " tall for goats/sheep/LGD in town @ #Homesteading house.
Stay tuned, staying under 48 " so deer clear!

Thanks for the video! I’m putting in a fence in a tree line. How far away should the posts be from trees? The trees are Osage orange trees and they are big and beautiful ones. I’ve been cutting lots of mulberry trees and boxelder trees. You have honey locust that are a pain we have boxelder trees that are a pain. I love my Timeless fence posts too. I’m the next couple of days I’m hoping to get my posts in the ground.
I’m not Greg, sorry. As far as the tree question and distance. I consider tree growth,(size of trunk or trunks, if it is a bushy species of tree, and how old is it. I think the biggest worry with the timeless system would be a tree growing into the wires and how that would effect the grounding on the fence. So 5’ is about as close as I ever get.
We put posts right next to trees and fasten a fiberglass post to the side of the tree. As the tree grows out to touch your fence the fiberglass post is there to keep the tree from touching your wire.
I’m in Missouri also. I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to build your fence along the road to Missouri fence laws to protect you from litigation? It’s seems like the fence laws are pretty old and outdated and you need posts every twelve feet and 4 strands with the top strand at least 48 inches high. I hate to spend the extra money when it’s not required for a modern high tensile fence, but I wonder if it’s a good idea just to prevent lawsuits?
If that is the case, I would still put an offset hotwire about 12” on your side. And still build it the with a good fence charger, good grounding, timeless posts 4’ and one or two 12.5 gage high tensile wires! You can the. Have a Hotwire for your interior divisions.
We go on the outside always. If you need to add/remove/move or redrive a post, the holes make life awful hard…
Is that a fiberglass rod you have in the vertical H post? what's the purpose of that? Just extra support?
I was quoted a price of $225 for that corner. I have timeless, but that price for the corner is nuts. I’ll just stick with the Osage orange. Thank you very much.
Certainly nothing wrong with Osage orange for corners.
Do run all wires hot?
How do you control the brush growing up on your fence. My son says "spray". The neighbors spray and they have nothing on their fences.
Two years ago I moved onto a property that was neglected. There’s probably a hundred honey locust, I’ve cut down a lot and every few months I see new little ones popping up. Those boogers grow fast and I sure do hate them
If you stay on them you will finally get most of them. Sheep or goats certainly help control them as well.
Do you have a link for their official site? I'll mention your name Greg! Buying 40 acres next week and you just answered my fencing plan questions.
Here is their website: timelessfencesystem.com
What size posts are best for cattle? I see that they come in several lengths and 1.5", 1.75" and 2.25" wide.
I am in the Fairbanks Alaska area and have been thinking about timeless fence after seeing your videos. I had mentioned this to a farmer acquaintance and he had mentioned that there can be difficulties with electric working with our frost depth. He said to use 3 grounding rods and drive them 8ft deep minimum. After hearing that there might be some reliability issues I have been second guessing myself on whether or not to go electric at all. Curious if you have any thoughts/advice on this.
People put in ground rods. If they won't go through the ice, maybe drill first.
I'm from the canadian prairies so we get a really cold winter. The issue is that snow and frozen ground are not very conductive so livestock don't get grounded properly. Electric fence could still work because typically when it's that cold and snowy livestock will stay near the feed and don't pressure the fence very much. Hope that can help.
Also, you can run ground wire, hot wire, ground wire, hot wire. If they touch both wires they will be shocked HARD.
Hi Greg. What size t-post do do recommend for perimeter fence. I see they come in 1.5,1.75,and2.125.
Either 1.5 or to add extra beef, the 1.75" diameter.
Thanks
I dont see how that A frame is holding that. What size are the inline posts?
I was a big skeptic of it as well until we installed them. Not one of them have budged an inch!! Much easier and cheaper to install than a standard H brace. I’m sold on them.
Never seen these before what's the cost and size?
What is your spacing on these?
15-20 feet
How do the deer pass through in the spring with the fawns?
If they can’t go over they have go around.
Smooth wire is the most deer friendly fence out there! The fawns slip right through
@@creationfarms3097 8000 volts?
No problem, the deer just glide through it or hop over it.
😊
Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box to control rodents which host ticks and attract pit vipers.
Shipping was absolutely ridiculous when we purchased Timeless posts.. wouldn't do it again
Sounds like an opportunity to become a dealer😊😊
How much was it? I'm in Texas and would like to use this but shipping is what I fear will stop it
How in the world are you driving those things straight up and down?!!!! Every t post I drive is crooked and has to be bent into straight after the fact
Is your ground very rocky? We don’t have any problem driving them in our clay soils.
