Installing welded wire garden fencing - Ep. 46

We begin fencing in our garden with welded wire on uneven terrain with a homemade fence stretcher. The garden fence must be deer proof and keep out all the little critters too. We're almost ready for 2022 garden season!

Drilling a bunch of Robertson deck screws through the boards holds it together.

Smart way to unroll it

[@AlleghenyHomestead]

It works really well!

Are you all in Covington VA area? Love this

[@AlleghenyHomestead]

Thank you, Jake! ❤ We're actually in West Virginia.

how much would labor for 450 linear feet of this fencing cost to install?

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

What size are the staples?

[@AlleghenyHomestead]

Johanne, we used the 1-1/4 x 9 staples. Hope that helps!

Common 304 stainless steel bolts will typically have about 75,000 to 90,000 psi tensile strength. They are stronger than what are called grade 1 or grade 2 carbon steel bolts. Grade 1 and grade 2 carbon steel bolts have unmarked heads and the minimum tensile strength is 60,000 to 75,000 psi. What you want to use for applications like this are what are called grade 5 bolts. Grade 5 bolts have three radial hash marks on the bolt head. They have a minimum tensile strength of 120.000 psi. The next step up is grade 8 bolts. They are marked with six radial hash marks on the bolt head. They have a minimum tensile strength of 150,000 psi. Even the strongest carbon steel bolts - grade 8 - will be less expensive then stainless steel bolts. Stainless bolts cost 235% as much as grade 1/2 bolts, 170% as much as grade 5 bolts, and 126% as much as grade 8 bolts. Unless you need superior corrosion resistance, you are better off with carbon steel bolts rather than stainless steel bolts.

Not a chain fence?❤😊

[@AlleghenyHomestead]
