You are smart! I like these ideas a lot and I'm thinking about how I can adapt them to my horse fencing. Great video! I'm going to see what else you have out there too.

lmao. looks fkn terrible

My dogs dig under the fence to get out. Can I hammer into the ground a 1.5 ft PVC pipe and run the electric wire through the top part of the pvc and the fence still work? Will the pvc in the ground ground out the wire, electrical shock?

Great ideas, ty!

How about predator fencing? This would not be skookum enough for that. Also deer can easily jump over a four foot fence.

Very informative information. Ya sometimes we just do not think an just run to the store to get what we need an most of the time we already have everything we need and most of the time those work better an cheaper . I probably have over a dozen old drop cords with maybe a bad place in them or a bad end . I have three Bee yards I am getting ready to put a electric fence system on these ideas will help out . Thanks

bloody great info.

Just exactly what I was looking for!!!

Thanks

Ahh, common sense!

Our predominate tree on our farm is willow. Took me a few years to realize their propogation nature, but started making my fence posts out of fresh cut willow. The post sprouts leaves and branches and grows roots. Living fence post that gets more secure and stronger over time. Some gotchas... they tend to be really weak for the first year, so they can't be the entire fence, gotta stagger the posts across years and distance. You can't nail/screw into them for several years, have to use wrapping methods, but without girdling them. They will sprout leaves and branches in inconvenient places, and can ground out the fence, so there is some clipper maintenance every few months. But turning out well. Maybe hedgerows one day. I also use old jumper cables as fence jumper cables. The handiest part of it is being able to use the jumper clamp directly on the ground rod.

Great tips! God bless and keep you and your family.

so helpful! thank you

Love the old garden hose concept. Have you modified it since this vid waz put out?

What type of wire are you using?

Thank you! I’m making posts out of three pieces of discarded plaster lath nailed together and will use your free insulators. I’ve wondered about soaking the ends of the lath in diesel or old oil. Not sure about that. Shalom שלום

Does a wood post really need an insulator at all?

I live in the Dominican Republic and am thinking of installing an electric fence. We can't get parts here so this gave me some ideas.

Heights of wire above ground for rabbits & deer?

McGyver of the homestead!! Lovin' it. 😊😊

Great info. Im a missionary and havebeen trying to figure out how I can do something like this. Thank you for sharing. Happy Resurrection day! Yes wewill be praying for you .

Nice!!!

Love this video

I just came across this video. Its right up my ally..Thank you!!

Im in the middle of an electric fence project and trying to do this on a budget. Thank you for the video and ideas.

New to cattle temp electric fencing. Thank you for the help. TU so much for the prayers and yes we will pray for you too

THANK U FOR THE INFO GOOD OLD SCHOOL

Thanks for the helpful and inexpensive tips for our electric fenc.

A shot of your insulators installed would be nice. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Thank you for the ideas to save money. I been using trees for a bit. God bless you and your family

Grate info! Thank you

Can the extension cord idea be used with an electric net system to bridge the opening of a barn I want my goats to use? New to electric fencing - and goats.

Great job!

I spoke too soon! The gentleman's cut-and-drilled-PVC-pipe-insulators are brilliant, and FAR more durable than the store-bought equivalent he showed earlier. A simple hacksaw will do to cut the PVC pipe at a 45 degree angle. Well done! 🎉

-> Dad's lucky to have such an observant kid! ❤

This gentleman obviously knows what he's doing, and his methods are sound. I believe that using manufactured "standoff insulators" is well worth the $0.25 each, because they'll hold up over time. Gotta have a sledge hammer to pound those 6' tall posts 2' into the ground, no doubt, but that's an essential tool to have around a homestead anyway. This is a very practical video, and I enjoyed watching it - Great Job! Thanks !!! 😊

whats the tottal length? of the metal stock for each hook

Insulator comments: 1) Black pipe, black rubber hose lining, black ABS pipe, etc.-- often use graphite or carbon black for colorant thus they are very conductive in terms of being insulators for high voltage pulses of the charged fence. In the video about using water hose is a prime example of this -- a spark was noticed when testing it. The spark was likely current flowing in the carbon and vaporizing it, thus the light of the spark. White PVC uses a non-conducting filler powder and thus has good insulating properties. Clear plastics are normally very good with exception of plastics designated "Anti-Static". They are treated with chemicals, typically hydroscopic that pull moisture in the air to form conductive films. One piece of hose as a quick fix is unlikely to take down the line, but a bunch of pieces gang up and will dissipate the line pulses. 2) It's relatively easy to measure the values of insulation. Take just about any DVM (not an old analog meter like a Simpson), set it to measure Volts then wire small 9V battery in series to a probe on the insulator and a wire from a probe on the other side of the insulator back to the DVM. Use the following formula: Insulation MegOhms = 10MegOhms X (9V -- DVM reading in Volts) / DVM reading in Volts For example, a 0.1V DVM reading would calculate as 10MegOhms X (9-0.1) / 0.1 = 890 = MegOhms A value a typical DVM will not measure. It's not hard to measure into the GigOhm range. Sometimes you'll see readings of the wires you use being somewhat poor as you handle them, especially in humid weather. Wet or electrolytic conditions on the insulation probes may cause battery potentials to cloud the reading. If you suspect that just reverse the polarity of the 9V battery (turn it around) and average the two DVM readings and proceed with the formula.

I noticed u said someone could post questions here. One of the things I'm trying to figure out and a question I have is if the solar charge controllers really will shut off when the voltage and battery banks have too much power in them? I'm hoping someone might have information on this? They SAY they will. But I've noticed a lot of charge controllers don't work the way they say they should. And I'm worried about this because of fire risk. The cheap little 20 dollar blue one specifically that a lot of people use I found out was garbage. And that one doesn't shut off the way it should, and it wasn't actually pushing power the right way it should into the battery bank when things were clear and energy was going through solar panels also. This is part of why I ask. I've since gone to a better quality charge controller... but it leaves you with the question, if the higher cost ones will safely shut off at max voltage also still if others are defective? Thanks.

Hello from Soldotna, Alaska! Cedar doesn't grow this far north, but spruce does. Thanks very much for your money-saving advice.

Good tips. Thanks

We have nothing but Sand. We have a constant problem with grounding.

I left my 20" Remington @ the dump. I had it tuned 3x, won't hold a tune. That was $200+ saw. I bought a 20" Husky with 4cc bigger engine & has at least twice the cutting power. Stays tuned & is DEPENDABLE.

I like your style!

Thank you for these hacks and your time. LORD BLESS YOU AND CHILD IN JESUS NAME

I am glad I found your channel you saved me from spending a lot of money.

Love the Massey Hat!

Good job
