To counteract some of those negative comments - I thought this was a great demonstration!And honestly that fence looks plenty of strong depending on what’s it’s being used for. I keep horses, cows, and pigs behind fencing far less sturdy than that and haven’t had any issues. I’ve also had to build fencing in a hurry and really wish I would’ve had some of these tools/accessories handy. Thanks for the video, I personally got a lot from it! For all of you haters, get over yourself and don’t knock it till you try it!
Made in America isn't encouraged in America. I watched an episode of Shark Tank and a guy had a truck rack that folded up and he wanted to manufacture it in the States. The whole Shark Tank crew rejected him because he wouldn't move his operations to China. He said he wouldn't, so he left the stage hoping for more local investors to grow his business.
Way too much emphasis on the almighty dollar and not enough about value in America.
The reason is... most American consumers worship the almighty dollar. Price is king - quality be dammed. Look no further than your local WalMart. You will see anything from new Mercedes to 20-year old drunk-bumped hoopties in the parking lot. The business people with the money on Shark Tank know this. There are far too many businesses that have failed because of price. Yes, some folks will still pay more for a quality product... but not enough, and the businesses focused on quality instead of price eventually fail. It's a shame because most times the higher quality item costing just a little more will far outlast the lesser expensive item... thereby being cheaper in the long run. Folks today just can't think that far ahead.

If countries could only trade in raw materials, (no finished products) then each country would have to supply for themselves what they need and want. Then the corporations wouldn’t be able to use the working class of one country, against the working class of another. There by forcing the corporations to deal with the working class people the are conducting their business in.
Yet you go to Asia and Asian hate Chinese crap cuz it's so low quality
They only buy it if they have no other options and they can't make it
I learned long ago to buy the best then take care of it
As a kid my China made tools broke rusted failed etc
My American made stuff is still around unless borrowed (or stolen)
If 'Made in America' carried with it a guarantee that it would be a quality product,. I would agree. I buy products based on their utility first, price second. I am not concerned about who makes it.
I don't even install fences and I watch this whole video, damn interesting.
Aussies and kiwis create so much of this stuff because we have 10 of thousands of kilometres of fence ,gotta say though I like that fence you just built so bloody simple well done
Cheers from Aus
Cheers!
Y’all. Crazy… this is an excellent fence…. Unless you’re trying to keep Goats or elephants in. This a good fence… I would use this for my chickens my dwarf goats I would use this for lots of different things and the bracing seems to work just fine. I have a homestead and I wish I saw this before I use what I used. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Post driver for this 65 year old grandma is perfect. Get er done!
Zinger Tight.......I'm using that term somewhere this week. Thanks!
This video was worth watching just to see the fast clips tie the fence to the t posts. I will only be using those from now on. I think something you might have missed that I use, I place a tractor or truck at the end of the line and use that as my anchor for stretching. Then tie the fence up under tension. I am able to keep more tension in the fence and not have the anchor "come along" in my way. Great job.
Totally agree on using the truck hitch to stretch to keeping all the tension... I would still use wire and fence pliers to tie it all to t posts and end anchors... most of the things people think make it easier like electric drills suck because they cost more time everytime.... as for stretching a simple pipe or 2x4 or even 2 t poles or just a chain load binder...
You don't need any of this high dollar fancy crap that breaks down... I could stretch a fence tighter than that in the video with just a pair of fencing pliers vice grips and a t pole
It's not rocket science
As far as the tie wires it's really just as fast to cut a length of wire and spin the ends with fencing pliers ... I just don't get people and their battery operated heavy tool that when it's dead it's dead and it's heavy it's clumsy and it's left laying around far away when your pliers go back in your belt every time... and everyone on the job will have their pliers
Not to mention if you're doing lots of fence a simple rod or flat iron with 2 holes for the wire will be always in your pocket and save plenty of time
Of course everyone of the crew can have a electric drill with batteries etc but they will be leaving that heavy crap behind all the time
As far as the fast clips wrap around the post twice then over itself and bent is more than strong enough any kind of tie is more than enough... those clips are just a lot more expense and really not faster nor stronger
We use a tractor too to hold the tension!
Totally agree
DITTO!!!!
Thanks Mark great tips, I love some of the tools you used… it really looks like we could build our fences a Lot faster! We won’t be able to use the braces on our farm because of our bulls, but if you don’t have to worry about that, I think they would be great! Don’t let the negative responses bother you, the needs of each of your clients are different and the needs of each farm are as well.
TY for sharing this information. We are getting ready to fence in our entire property and this gives us more options for tightening & pulling up the slack in the fencing.
I appreciate the budget videos.
Good job.
For most applications this method will definitely work
Y’all are great. Thank you for sharing! I have got to get me one of those chain come along thing a ma jigs. That looks way more enjoyable and a bit better to deal with than a come along.
Did miles and miles of v-mesh and 2x4 wire here in California. Used the 2x4 stretcher. Never had a problem. Although I did use a hammer to crimp a few panels in a v pattern when needed to tighten. But liked the wedge!!!!!
Awesome! Now I just need a farm.
This is an excellent video and helped me to build a fence. Mark; you are a good teacher/speaker.
Glad it was helpful!
I definitely will try that fence the next time I need some!
The H-brace and end brace combined is almost $135 + tx + S/H.
How many are going to study this design and drag out their favorite welder?
Triangles, squares and bolts. Make it easier.
Great video as always very informative
I appreciate that
Hey Mark. That’s a sharp looking fence. I picked up some pointers and I love the little gizmo that twists the keeper to the posts! That is worth its weight in gold! Nice tools and techniques. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Amazing video. Learned more here than any other video(s) I've watched. You're using the 48" wedgeboard but your link takes me to the 60".

I have a RHINO T POST DRIVER with a HONDA ENGINE . Leave it outside uncovered year round till needed, been using since 2010, fenced in 400 ac T Post every 8--12 feet and in two areas 12-16 feet spacing. In 2023 finally had to replace seals, repack drive unit , replace carb(original Honda carb) cheaper then rebuilding carb, replaced power trigger. I use 6.5--7 foot T Post and drive in soft pasture, sandstone, and some flint stone . The cost of the drive in 2008 was roughly $1500.
divide by 16 years of owning before replacing parts. $1500÷17= yearly cost Replacement parts cost ÷ 17 years = yearly replacement cost
I left above blank so you can factor in what parts cost in your area for your answers. Two men can put in 330 T Post in 01 hour to 02 hours . Give it some thought. REMEMBER... I own a RHINO with a HONDA engine and not a knock off nor cheaper versions
Fantastic content. Great job!
Much appreciated!
i have built fence.but not as easy as this.nice work
In Arizona we used Cedar Post copper coated Telegraph Wire and stretch it tite with a backhoe the wire was free the past were free and just a fuel for backhoe
By the way when I said its left outdoors year round ! Leave it uncovered on my fencing trailer which is located in the mid west expose to rain storms, heavy frost, winters with & without heavy snow, and of course a few tornados .
Thank You for the info
You bet!
Thats a way cool system! Thanks!
You bet!
Learned a few tips from this one, thanks. when possible connect the come along to the tractor or truck hitch instead of using the last post.
Love my Gripples. Used their tool and it stays tight.
@8:13 it's a Grapple T clip also you didn't put them on your list. I've very impressed with your channel a friend showed me it. You explain things very well I wish i started with some one like that. Most people just say to do it this way and don't explain how we do it and why we do it that way. Chain walkers look sweet we use come alongs since they are cheap and chains used in commercial settings have to be inspected yearly, Sadly come alongs don't I hate them, mostly because a helper that doesn't know can fubar them easily. Like reeling it in with out tension, Or not putting them in release before putting them away in the truck as you drive down the road and hit bumps that come along will tighten and good luck getting it to release LOL also they are sharp is not well maintained. Never seen the H frame brace, We do Wild life fence 12 ft 1 ft in the ground 10 feet spacing every 100 ft we drill 4 holes for two 2 7/8 thick wall 8 ft spacing with stabilizer braces 4 feet spacing and bent then welded on to the 2 7/8th. We do it that way because It's to government specs. Deers bounce off our fences LOL. Awesome Channel btw
Looks good!
Thanks!
Well dang I'm jealous of that nice soft ground, I would even take hard-packed clay over what we have here in NH. The ground is so rocky in most places every excavator bucket you pull seems like its 60% rock and 40% dirt. I also have places I can never fence because it's just straight ledge rock. I would need to use concrete drills and set steel posts which is just too much money, so we have to go around. I have to rent an SDS Max hammer drill with a 1.5" x 24" SDS max bit to pre-drill my t-post holes lol.
This looks to be a wonderful fence! We keep sheep, horses, donkeys, chickens and ducks behind fences far less sturdy than that. I can also say from experience, if you are using this type of fencing for dogs, you actually want a bit of slack - the tighter a fence like this is, the easier it is for dogs to climb... and not just domestic dogs - think coyotes and animals like foxes too. Now if you're trying to keep goats in.. you pretty much need Alcatraz in fence form.
That would be great for temp pastures and you can repurpose the wire, posts, etc.
Where I live, renting a hilty is necessary. Cut the fins off the T posts drill the granite or other rock insert post and mortar, and voila, the post is set.
I am just amaze how many easier way to do something in america is, almost like people are done with BS and will find their own tool to do the job easier
Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
I used the Wedge Loc braces you said are "never good". My corners are rock solid after stretching woven wire over them. $30 a corner at Tractor Supply.
This was extremely informative. Thankyou. Pity I don't have the advantage of living in the States to be able to purchase these things.
Of course, then you would have to live is states
Awesome l like that I thank that would be a good option on a affordable fence
I like it. Seems solid to me. It Should last forever
Do you have any videos on how you would do the corner of this fence?
I'm starting a farm and want to fence a 200 foot square of it and I'm really liking how this fence looks. At the end you mention its stronger with the corner fences, however I'm not sure how I could do that and still have a gate for accessibility for my livestock. Having strength against being pushed over by livestock such as pigs would be a big concern for me.
Nice fence!
Thanks!
If you are still stretching fence with 2x4's, invest in some cable clamps. They stop the 2x4's from slipping.
well done ,,, the links in the corners are missing Just FYI not a complaint . regards J
I sent an email to SWI for someone to contact me. I'm looking to buy several items. Question: How would you install a drive gate with this system? Would you install 3.5" posts in the ground adjacent your Easy Fence braces then attach your gates to the steel post?
Because of all of the sheep!!! LOL!! There are more sheep in Aus and NZ than people! Thanks for the alternate methods!
How much $$ was that section to build?
That was my thought exactly when I watched. All I could see was the cost of all the tools necessary to build it. If you were a fencing contractor these tools could be amortized over many fence jobs, but for the guy just wanting to fence in a few acres of property it appeared to be too expensive for most.
Thanks for the video and eff all these stupid ass trolls. Great for those of us who are not professional fence gurus. The tools and knowledge that you share here will make it easier next time I put a fence up. I rarely have any help with anything. Without help and the right tools it takes a lot of effort, energy and time to put a fence up alone.
Have you tried these Easy Fence in Oklahoma Sandy soil? I am curious if it would still be stable.
Ask if it works in Florida soil. I cannot imagine it being looser.
When I drove my posts for no-dig vinyl, I went down 48" to be safe.
Honestly? I think these post are too short for sandy soil.
Potentially. We haven't tried it. You would need much longer posts.
The professionals are always watching 😁.
Indeed they are. 😏
Can you do a video on how you strip the 13-48-2 . I feel the way I do it is the slow time consuming way and just trying to get the most efficient at stripping that damn s not
Not exactly what you asked, but does this help? czcams.com/video/brteMKM3-d4/video.html
@@SWiFenceI watch that one before I got my 13-48-2 but the fence in that video is the easy un tie. Them s knots with a pair of nipex plies you basically gotta make 3 cuts per knot 13 times per line and then like five lines back to do a termination. I was wondering if you guys had an easier way. I think a end termination with gripples I'm about an hr per termination.
Post drivers build character
What socket did you use to twist the ties?
The 11 ga. bit.ly/easytwisttool
I feel like this would be perfect for moving cows around on a field and being able to set up temporary fencing
how would you setup those panels to make your corner brace?

Couple tips.
Strain up your mesh first then you can put your posts in to line up with the verticals. Tying a vertical to the post makes a stronger fence. Although not much stronger with 2" spacing it makes a big difference with 12" spacing. also, straining the mesh is easier if there arent a lot of posts in the way.
Dont snap the tail off your knots. If you ever have to go back and adjust, and you will in the 30 year life of the fence, it helps to have a long tail you can untie.
You dont need a measuring stick to judge post height. Just stand next to it, bottom rib, nipple, navel, youve got something thats the right height. Draw a line on your shirt if you really need.
What do you recommend for gates in this type of fencing?
Light walk gates would be fine on this but any heavy tube gates need to have regular posts set to support them.
Thanks for the video and the reply…guess we’ll be giving this a try!
I rented that exact driver on a Friday afternoon for a 1 day rental of $60. I had to have it back Monday morning by 9 am to avoid a second day. We put in over 100 tposts over the weekend. Unless your in the business, renting can be a better option for nice tools if you find the right location. Call around and ask.
Yes! Thank you for being sensible. It's amazing how many folks just say "but I can't afford to buy that."
Do you guys ship this to Jamaica?
Sorry--we don't really do international shipping right now.
I'm new here, any solutions for flat rock ground?. Needing to fence in an area with flat rock in some spots.
If you only have a few spots you could do what I did (for T-posts)……I used a hammer drill (powered by a small generator) with a 1/2” masonry bit…..drilled 3 holes close together, sharpened the end of the T-post, knocked off the plate, and drove it into the hole a couple of inches or so. Then went back and mixed and poured a 60-lb bag of concrete around each post. Plenty sturdy for a line post.
@@dewaynemartin6437 Thanks for the input.
I have a chain puller,we called them chain grabs,I have a set over 35 yrs old,down under they have sheep,not a lot of grass,so 9 strand high tensil, pull 2k feet at a time.
Very different from a rancher building a barb wire fence. We would use treated wood for corners or braces. And a fence stretcher for barb wire. Fence staples in wood and clips on t posts. You can put stay ties between t posts. Gas powered fence pounder? Never used one. But looking at it? I would never want to pack it a mile up a mountain. Should stay close to the pickup or quad. And we use fencing pliers to make splices or bend clips. And a good hammer is better for staples.👍
This is probably more up your alley. czcams.com/video/rSilDQhP5-E/video.html
Pain in the neck! I will keep my day job and have you build me a fence.
It's not for everybody.
any gate building videos?
Yep! Go to the channel page and type "gate" in the search box. 👍🏻
Forest service probably like all medal for fire resistants too.
No mention of temperature? Would it matter if you installed this on a really cold day?
That is an odd question. Isn’t that sort of obvious? If the ground is hard you aren’t doing it by hand. If you using a pneumatic device it doesn’t matter and actually works easier when the ground is frozen. Pneumatic post pounders work by vibration so it cuts through the ice easily.
@@thedivide3688 I was asking about thermal expansion in the wire and how it might affect the tension.
Yes. You would be colder.
@@Ailtir in that case aluminum and steel have very low thermal expansion and thus that is why they are preferred for Ag type fencing not to mention other reasons.
@@thedivide3688 Being a smartass while wrong is quite ironic.
Big Foot endorses this video.
Interesting to see how far behind Australia and New Zealand the USA is with farm fencing. We farm 3000 acres in southern Australia and have somewhere around 70 kilometers of fence on our property. We use mostly Waratah products, mainly because they are Australian made, but also because they just work. Anyone who watched this video who hasn’t heard of Waratah should Google them, and have a look at their drivable gal end assemblies and the Jio post system. It makes the system used in this video look like something sold at Walmart. I mean no offense by saying this, it just astounds me how crap the American fencing products are compared to what we use in Australia!
8:45 he mentioned that all the tools and the wire are made in New Zealand.
😊waratah products would be a lot more expensive than what was used here.
I like this fencing method. I think a person could rent a driver at Tractor Supply or a farm implement store. I'm not sure this fence could hold in a rooting boar.
Yeah, this is meant for temporary solutions or folks that are on a budget. If you're looking for quality we recommend this method: czcams.com/video/rSilDQhP5-E/video.html
Fun tools. I'm too cheap to pay $.48 each for a T-post clip. Good for government work where everything is FREE!
Not too shabby. Will probably last till the braces rust out.
Don't be concerned about what people say. Let's see them build the way the want or dont watch your video !
How do I get you to come put this up on my property??
C'mon! You've got this! You don't need us. 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Do you sell just the bracket for pounding t post? Already have the electric hammer
You mean this? bit.ly/SWITPostShaftAndSocket Don't know that it'll fit your hammer...
@@SWiFence yes. Thank you
Sorry not in Pennsylvania bro solid granite and shell and whatever Bluestone doesn't happen
Thanks for the tip to drive to my rental store and pay $100 to use a tool that I have to return so I don't have to use my muscles to put posts in quicker with a $40 tool that I get to keep.
Go for it! 👍🏻
The cost of the powered driver isn't so bad if you've ever had an accident with the pounder and split your noggin open... Urgent care visits are a lot more pricey than the 'lazy tool'
You've got a solid point.
Hey, I resemble that remark.
@@SWiFence And fortunately, a solid head!
I’m not sure but I think t post are wimpier than they were 40-50 years ago.
I drove some in here and it seems they bend way easier than older ones, that used to bend also but I’m thinking not an easy. Maybe they were more tempered, as well as the little stabilizers popping off way too easy.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Quality of everything is going down.
You made a mistake on your termination knot at 5:28
You went under your loop then under your line wire at the same time. You should've gone under your loop and then over the line wire if that makes sense?
Just trying to help
Under the line wire, over the line wire, then under itself is how I learned it. But yeah, I still messed it up. 😑
@@SWiFence I learned: around post, under lw, over lw, under loop, over lw wrap
Just seems more stable knot in my head. Still nice to see knots being used 👍
czcams.com/video/USGiQJ_uQec/video.htmlsi=Utcwo7pnT6R9vnSH

Oh a ratchet strap is so much easier to tighten up fence wire
HOW can t-posts be driven into river-rocky ground?!?
run a couple hot wires with stand off insulators and this would work just fine for my hogs
if my car hose breaks and i need a clamp. I know where to get one now.
People are going to say that driver cost more than the whole fence...
Have they never heard of renting tools?!?
Exactly!!
The New Zealand thing is because there are more sheep than people. That is not hyperbole.
Sheep to people. We are down to 29:5 million it used to be 72:3 a few years ago. Wool now is a net cost!
Fencing can be fun in open terrain but in the woods, weeds and mountains its all very different.
Truer words were never spoken.
Hold my beer…
Goats
No one mentions using water to put a post in ?? Its hydraulics. Very little effort.....lift and drop the post........and it drops in ! can do with 6 inch post as well. But might need a loader for the lifting part !
You see good stuff from other countries because only the really good stuff (or cheap stuff) gets exported. Everything else isn’t competitive.
That makes a ton of sense actually.
The real test will be how long it will last. Maybe 10- 15 years. I do not see it outliving my 50 plus year pasture fence in Colorado weather
I don't either. As you may have heard me say in the video, this is fast and easy fence, meant for temporary or super-budget situations. If you want strong, long-lasting fence, you're looking for this: czcams.com/video/rSilDQhP5-E/video.html
