Our biggest fencing project yet: 10 acre, 5-strand electric cattle fence | Part 1 the first 150m
Переглядів 987Місяць тому
Rockpile Homestead is 100% off-grid on 100 acres and we're building everything from scratch... including our internal fencing for paddocks. Our new milk cow and her little cow friend need a paddock upgrade fast so we're fencing an extra 10 acres for them. This is the first 150m of a very long fence and we go into lots of fencing detail about the prep, gear and process of a 5 strand electrified ...

    With your tensioners: Some have a hole in the fold at the end, between the 2 holes you have tied the wire through. You can save yourself a knot by tying the wire to the post, threading the wire through that hole, through the spindle in the middle and then tie the other end to the other post. You can then slide it up and down to where you want it and It will still tension up the wire the same. I'd loop it around the bottom on the 2nd post and back to the 1st, so you have 2 wires and can get extra tension & strength. Also a good option for a quick tensioner for a fence repair. I'd have a look at Davo's Fencing Clips to make the job easier and Tim Thompson on youtube for fencing and farming tips. I love what you are doing, I wish I had a bit more dirt to play with.

      Hey! We did do some build videos and a breakdown of all our costs step by step process to lock up 👍 we don’t have a lot of info on the electrical and plumbing though. We kept it pretty simple. Our house is a rectangle and we put wet areas along one side and ran plumbing along outside of the sips under the external cladding. We’re on stumps so waste pipes are run underneath. Our internal walls are steel frame so we ran the electrical through them and in drop steel frame ceilings. Hope that helps!

    Hey Corey, a little tip to save you some time. If you're using ratchet strainers with the hole in the end (which it looks like you are) you don't need to tie it off on the end. Just line up the spindle hole so it's level and run your wire right through the whole thing. Then just tie the wire off each end and you're good to go. Ratchet it up like you normally would.

      @@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead - if you ever build a fence with a really long run of wire you can even slide extra strainers on the wires halfway along and not tighten them. It's like a way of 'future proofing' the fence if the wire sags later. Can be very handy for fences that aren't dead straight and that can be difficult to get tight because they 'snag' a bit as they go around a post or drop through a gully. Spreads the tension out through various sections of the wire.
