I've watched several videos about tieing termination knots and most of the people don't wrap the wire back through the loop. It is such an easy step and makes the knot stronger than the wire, but it doesn't seem to be the common way. This was the best explanation I have seen.
Very Clever!!
You really are living the dream....and many others are vicariously living it through you 👊
Luke has really helped with the fencing on the farm 🇺🇸 Great vlog 🇺🇸 Josh 🇺🇸WOOOOOO ! 🇺🇸
Would have never thought your dad would have been a crock man. Lol. Nice to see dad come over for father son time on fence building day. Lol. Another informative video from both Luke and SRF.
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
TYVM🦋Stoney Ridge Farm always enjoy your videos🌟Listening from Mass USA🌟Hello🌟 everyone
Man that’s quite a job and y’all did it at the hottest and most humid time of year, kudos to you!
Hi JOSH,😷😷 This was a great informative🎥video, I learn a lot from it, 👍.
GOD🙏🙏BLESS YOU.

That Strainrite fencing, comes from a New Zealand company, they started making fencing equipment, and tools, around 1999-2000, i sold him samples, of other companies products, and he[ Maurice], improved on them and then designed his own. wire strainers, crimper tools etc.
I need some new goat fence here in southern Michigan and Farm Fence Solutions is on my list of who I will use. Thank you for all the great fencing videos I would of never know of this great company so close to home.
🚜-Woooooo!!!
Josh, these fencing videos, all of them are awesome. This one was even a step above that! Thanks so much for the teaching!
I own a 310-acre farm in Charlotte County, Virginia that I need to replace the old barbed wire cattle fencing that my great grandfather installed. I’m going to reach out to Luke 👍
He can handle it! 844-48-FENCE
Farm Fence Solutions LLC Hi Luke, Any chance you can come to Charlotte County, VA. My farm is located 59 miles from Stoney Ridge Farm.
@@asktodd2000 It's no problem at all.
Nice video it's going to look good when it's finished and it will definitely keep the cows where they are supposed to be have a good one wooooo
Lol Josh. I think I’ve got one of those fence unwinding helicopters.🤣 Luke is so educational on the fencing. I bet he was glad for your help and that new unwinding helicopter person. Shame it got a bit windy 🌬 at one point of the day. Loved the bloopers lol 😂 😂👍🏻
Unrolling by hand is some real work! Helicopter or no. 😁
Thanks again Josh for a great video I learned alot. God Bless yall stay safe
Right, City people who are considering selling their expensive Condos and buying a piece of land in the country, find your channel extremely helpful. Because it gets them to visualize what it is that they want.
One gets to see if he can do what you do
..at the same time learn few things
When I was a kid all that fence work was done by hand, each fence post and corner post holes hand dug with a post hole digger, rope pull hand fence stretcher, fence lines cleared by hand tools axe, grubbing hoe, shovel. On our place we had a huge mesquite corner post that was set in the 1930’s and was still solid in the 1980’s. When we put in our new road fence back in about 1970 we left that post there because it was so solid. Mesquite makes a good fence post but you have to cut it the right time of the year if not it will rot fairly quick.
Love your garden
Thanks for sharing this. it was quite informative.
I was watching a “How To” video on fencing by a bloke here in Australia a few weeks back just to refresh my knowledge on agricultural fencing as a mate asked me to give him a hand with a fence on his new property.
2 things from that video & this video were exactly the same. The termination knot & the use of crimps.
In my opinion, to see these methods be used in both videos, is a clear sign, is they work.
So cool, I am going to send your channel to some new homesteaders who is having dangerous trespassing problems on their homestead and need fencing really bad. Homestead Heart. Very nice christian couple trying to live life but just need someone to help with a vision. So awful to want to just farm and have to worry about crazy people creeping at night on your property. love Your channel.
Hi Stoney Ridge Farmer.........New subscriber from South Africa. [Springbok , Rugby and BBQ country].
Good to see a fellow subscriber from Africa on the Stony ridge channel....am watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
@@SWITCH7425 Nice. Limpopo 70km from Punda Malia.
I was sure hoping for a little bit more information on the crimp connectors and crimping tool in the video well maybe next time?? Great video and hilarious outtakes

Great video. Nice to know stuff. Thank you.
Hey, josh OLF just gave you a nice complement at the end of his latest video. And he doesn't give them out very often. And by the way keep up the good work.
Looking good! I just about choked watching the blooper reel! LOL
we had a good time....unrolling that wire by hand was a pain!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Good stuff! I hear ya..
I need Luke to come to Eastern NC. When I start my farm
Josh, I heard that Cody from the Wranglerstar channel was moving his homestead and was talking about getting cattle and fencing. He doesn't know anything about the subject, but this might be a useful contact where your advice would be useful
ohhhh knipex is awesome! Best pair of channel locks I ever had :D
by the way, thank you so much for putting out all this great educational content, you really don't have to do this along with all the hard work; I sure appreciate that you do!
that is the most interesting video you have made yet !
Wow, thanks!
Good see another man uses crimps some guys dead against them they awesome for tidy job 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 always need a man with weight advantage for push wire down
Good gracious! I have been watching you put fence up for years now - that stuff is SUPER expensive! I think I started watching when you put up like 6 miles of high tensile wire fence, and I forget what you said it cost - but it was jaw dropping. I can probably sell my house and buy a 50 - 100 acre farm, but - I have NO idea how I'd manage to make enough money to actually operate it with all the expenses involved. Hats off to you for figuring out a way to live the dream!
years back, i was a full time fencing contractor, and, the cost of fencing, posts, wire ,staples etc, usually worked out 50/50 ,labour, and materials. we dug all our holes, and used concrete, posts and strainers .
I bet that belch you talked about was really a humongous fart. lol
Very cool, You live in perfect life...!
Good luck, I am learning from you and hope to do the same near my city...even if it's little bit dry here!
Near Marrakesh I try to rent land from the state in the Atlas!!
Will see Inchallah !!!
Great info. Can you show how to handle the low and high dips in the land to keep the fence standing straight and now bows and wrinkles
I've been doing fencing here lately, I really like the termination method Luke uses, going to have to give that a go. Usually I just thread it through after straining and do tight loops, at least 3 and cut the wire as flush as I can. I've been using Wallaby mesh that has 6 inch spacing on the risers, smaller squares at the bottom similar to the fencing you used, but also contains a skirt that lays on the ground to stop digging under. Was hoping to see how you guys tie mesh to the posts. I was taught to use star pickets, and there is available a softer wire tie, that is basically a U with the ends bent about half way, where you place through the hole in the star picket where a horizontal wire is level with the hole in the picket, then bend the bent ends of the tie back around the mesh wire, with the mesh on the outside, this way if an animal pushes on the fence they can push the tie apart and get through the fence without pushing the picket over (the plan that doesn't always work), and the mesh will lay over and allow the animal to get away from danger without damaging the fence where it would need rejoining. Do you guys run a plain top wire to increase the fence height?
I tend to strain fencing a little different. I don't have the straining bar, but I use a similar straining tool that has ends that grip the wire on the fence, then like yours can crank along the chain. I've found tying off the ends on the end or corner posts first with a little slack in the fence, then using gripple's which are similar to what you used to join the mesh at the corner, but don't require crimping. They allow the ends to go through one way in both directions, but can take the strain, and they just allow the wire to pass through until tight enough. There is a tool like a pair of bolt cutters that force the gripple along the wire, but I don't have those.
Some great info in this video, thanks for sharing. I need to get an attachment for the tractor for unrolling wire like that machine.
PS. So glad to see you NOT using Barbed Wire, it's horrible to work with, I've been removing it from my fences.
Would like to see wood fence build
keep watching you'll see the kentucky 4 board in this fencing playlist
josh fence "Gripples" are a great product to use when joining fences together, i like them way better than the crimp type connectors....they come with a tool that allows you to release them if you need to undo the fence for any reason....
As law enforcement, I have always wondered the proper place to cut a fence for easy repairs. I encounter barbed wire most frequently. The reasons for cutting fence are typically life-saving. To get an ambulance into a field etc. or often times people, cause a car has wrecked over a fence into a field or through it and the car is wrapped up in the fence. I wish u and Luke would cover that in a video for law enforcement. The goal being how to cut a fence where it would be easy for a farmer or whoever to repair and not cost a lot. For instance, do u cut in middle or close to a post?
Cut it wherever you need to. It’s not any difference fixing it at an end or the middle, especially when you have an emergency. Thank you for your service. Most of us are on your side, and really appreciate what you do!
@@farmfencesolutionsllc7804 Thanks, great info to know and I always wondered just never could ask a pro and really did not want to cause a farmer any undue expense or worry.
Love watching you build your first gen farm. I’m about to purchase the land to start my very own. I’ve learned so much from your vids. This stuff is like gold.
"Wealth of knowledge" doesn't do justice to Luke. Boss man.
Lol bloopers fun times on the farm. Did you catch the people that tore your fence?
Hey Josh thanks for the video I enjoyed it and it's just a shame when trespassers trespass on your private property land and look what they do they make damage to your fence and then you got to repair it that's not right why can't they just stay off your land I don't understand it
For the algorithm!!! Lol
Oh Jared lol
I live in Canada and wonder if there is a cap for the top of the post because, in the winter, ice would form and maybe split the post.
Sheepy Hollow Yes, you can cap the posts.
Josh great videos!! Have you commented on the cost difference between this type of fence vs. wood/steel post normal type fencing?
extending the pipe to get a longer lever arm will make it easier to tighten that come along with .
extend it too far and you'll pop a wire my brotha...strainrite has a pretty good design that won't allow ya to over do it on this high tensile wire...I agree work harder not smarter...but a breaker bar potentially could over stress the wire
Are the post not capped off?
So no gap underneath fence like barbed wire ? What's the pros and cons of that? I'm thinking grass growth and not being able to cut it as easy as a con
To stop grass eating critter from getting in. We use what's called Wallaby Mesh that has a skirt that lays on the ground about 1 foot wide at the bottom to stop them digging under. Wallabies (smaller Kangaroo type critters) would eat all the grass and feed that our sheep would need between feedings.
INSTEAD OF PUTTING A JOIN IN YOUR FENCING AT THAT CORNER AND THEN USING CRIMPS TO JOIN THE MESH, YOU COULD HAVE RUN YOUR MESH AROUND THE CORNER OF THE STEEL POST AND CONTINUED IT ON.
can't pull the wire over top of the wire my friend....these guys are experts...true pros at what they do...I'd venture to say there is no better fence builder than Luke Gibson with Farm Fence Solutions...you should come join us at the fence forum in the fall or the east coast fence rivalry in Virginia in august!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer WHAT UTTER GARBAGE, I PULL DEER MESH AROUND CORNERS ALL THE TIME.
I thought you had said in one of your other fence videos that you were installing a hotwire on the top of the fence, if so wouldn't that help stop trespassers from climbing the fence? I saw a fence guy on our wyoming life that used these things called Gripples that connected the fence together without having to crimp anything, is there a reason why you can't use those?
We use Gripples here as well, very handy for repairs. I've also found it much easier to tie off first, then cut a section where flat ground is, then strain those sections and use gripple's.
19:24 That wasp is huge
Do you have to cap those posts or do they just fill up with water and breed mosquitoes?
Very good vid bud I could tie a termination knot now for sure whooo that's awsome. so when can I help you bud ? lol I'll drive from newhampshire and whoo. just playing. but if you were desperate for help i would drive there bud but again very good vid. you have a great day . Godbless
hi Stoney love the vids
Will that fence guy travel to CT. I have a 21 acres parcel to fence in.
He sure will. 😉
@@farmfencesolutionsllc7804 You do great and your instruction is well executed. You should consider doing nationwide seminars and crash training courses, especially in the online medium. We need more people like you educating the next generation of farmers.
The Descent of Ishtar. Thanks for the kind words! Luke spends most of his time on the road, fencing with other contractors and sharing information to help advance the agricultural fencing industry. He is an instructor with the American Fence Association’s Fence Installation School, as well as hosting the annual Fall Fence Forum at the Farm Fence Solutions headquarters every October. Farm Fence Solutions was formed to do just what you have in mind, which is improve the industry from the bottom to the top. 🤙🏼
@@farmfencesolutionsllc7804 Mr. Luke is a great ambassador for your company's core principles. I am impressed with his articulation of the action he's performing and why he's applying that method versus alternatives, despite popular opinion. I wish your company and Luke much success. PS, Give that man a raise!
Who was that shady looking guy at at 26:25 ? Bet he's the one who got your hams!
lol Josh henry try to beat the machine.jokeing
what was the total cost ,out of pocket on the fencing job?
Great information on fencing! How can I go about getting a Toronto wire hat?
Esless Pointer Stay tuned for a Tornado Wire hat giveaway!
Any recommendations on how to repair the termination tie off of a poorly installed woven wire fence? I hired a crew bc I didn’t know how to do it all and they terminated it to literally, anything they could. Pathetic. But idk how to go about fixing it
potentially you may have to crimp it...hit up farmfencesolutions.com and get some advice..they may have a tool that can help you
how much did this end up cost per foot?
Are you going to rotation grazing? We had 35 acres in 1 acre plots and ran 60 cows. You were growing bahia grass. We sold cows but the cows were used to just mow the grass.
We not you.
Be careful where you sit Josh! Accidentally finding a fireant mound will ruin your day!
I'm glad my farming isn't on such a large scale. It would be like .... A job.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Are you ok? not one "WOOOOOOOOOO!" in the whole show?
lol....tired...working hard to get the job done
Luke is telling you what everyone was, to buy that track machine, would have paid for itself 5 times over so far,

Why didn’t y’all just use high tensile electric? Cattle are the easiest animals to contain. Even sheep are fine with electric. You mentioned spending $8-13 a foot. That means it would cost me $97,000 to fence my 60 acre farm.
High tensile costs about $1.20 and lasts longer because your posts and wire won’t get thrashed when the first tree falls on it.
$97,000 on fencing means you will literally never make your investment back in this lifetime. Aka it’s just a hobby not a business, which isn’t a problem but you say you’re running a farm so I’m confused what the goal is here.
Exactly unless your trying to fence in goats net fence is unnecessary even goats a good 6 wire with battens fence is enough
Yep! CZcams must pay very very well! 😆
Straight line stock fence doesn’t cost much more than hot fence, which is what I’ll assume you mean when you say “high tensile”. All of the wire in these videos is HT, and takes a tree just fine. When you have a problem with electric fencing, you have stock out. One cow in the road can cost a life and everything you’ve worked for, which is when a sold perimeter fence starts to look pretty cheap.
@@farmfencesolutionsllc7804 if a 12.5 Ga six wire hot fence at 250 lbs tension wire doesn't hold cattle in when the energizer is off---for a short while---then the animals probably are the problem---unless they have been starved. If you're talking about higher grade fence along a major roadway, sure extra precautions are in order, but not on the back 40 running through thickets in the country. Otherwise this goes back to business, cattle farming in America is not profitable enough to spend $8-13 a linear foot on fencing 150 acres. I could certainly see the benefits for a smaller property, but cow-calf producers are getting bent over the barrel right now, so they especially will never see a return on this kind of investment after all operating and capital costs are considered.
@@phillipgrimshaw351 I have yet to get $8/ft for cow fence, and disagree with your economic assumptions. Hope all is well.
Hello, not sure if anyone has told you that your beard is not even.
Didn't you have 200 acres at one time
Just a question that comes too late...why didn't you make the guy come back and bulldoze a straight line? You paid for it to be done the way you wanted it.
