Thank you. We've had some practice with fencing the past few years Here's a video of Bella running the property: ua-cam.com/video/SUbPYnClo50/v-deo.html
You don't need the tensioner , just put the wire on as you did, the cut say an eighteen inch branch , place it through the wire below the cross member and twist the wire to tighten, then lock the branch on the crossmember. If it requires tightening in the future jus loosen the branch , twist until tight and re-lock it. Buying a short length of better quality high tensile wire for this will stretch less and require less maintenance.
The spike drives into the end grain of the horizontal a bit, but the wires are what ties it all together. The spike keeps the horizontal from dropping down if the wires get a little loose.
Never seen a H brace so low but I don’t think it matters on this one. Also, the corner or end post is just that. A corner or end post. The next post is a hangman’s post. Not sure why the name but it helps me remember that you hang the dead man. Meaning, your tension wire should be on the high side of the deadman’s post. You can also not drive your 12” stake or galvanized nail on the deadman’s post completely. Leave an inch to half inch out and put your tension wire over the nail.
One more question: What gauge wire is that? Mine is waaaaay too large to twist and bend like what you're using. I was thinking it is all standard, but obviously not.
I'm not sure but this is called "bracing wire" at the farm store by us. Maybe it's not the gauge but the type of wire. I think this may have some aluminum in it?
@@PineyGroveHomestead thank you for your reply! I saw on another that used high strength tensile. Probably the same thing... But, again, thanks for taking the time to answer. 👊🏼
@@IronCavalierhigh tension, high tensile it’s all the same. The roll in the video is a very small roll. Probably the smallest and easiest to haul around. There is a huge jump to the next size roll. 3000 feet I think. It’s heavy. If you’re going to do a large project I would recommend a spinning jenny. There are several kinds. I recommend one that sits on three or four legs. This allows you to unroll the wire without getting the wire kinked.
It is. But he does run the wire above the horizontal brace. Normally we have the wire on the pin holding the horizontal brace which I think would be stronger.
I should have added along with a Nico crimping tool and Dbl barrel swage sleeves ,as the line is clean no gaudy ratchet tool in the wire . Similar arrangement when using SS multi stranded handrail cable splices .
Not real fond of the idea of leaving ratchet tension'rs in line wire ,rest of it was good job . I prefer a Tee slot tightening tool when dealing with tension wires .

Love watching uou both working projects! Thanks for your attention to detailz, the way you communicate, and sharinf!
Y’all planning on keeping Bison in those fields? That’s some big time solid fencing! 👊
Don't give Deb any ideas, Lucas!! 👊
@webbcityfilms Congratulations.
Great fencing. That's really strong. But it doesn't seem like a half hour job guys.
Well, maybe an hour to put in an H-brace if you have everything setup and ready. We always under estimate the time!!
Very informative videos you guys make!! You and your wife work really well together. Beautiful Brittany Spaniel!!
Thank you. We've had some practice with fencing the past few years Here's a video of Bella running the property: ua-cam.com/video/SUbPYnClo50/v-deo.html
Great job , you make it look so easy!
The magic of editing, right?! Thanks for watching.
That was some really good information. You can tell that you have done that before. Nice work!
Thanks Justin. We've done a few!
Educational! I don't build very many fences, but that's handy information!
Thanks Logan. We'll be glad when it's over, but after perimeter, there is cross fencing....and dog fencing. 🤦♂
Love the how we do chanels and then we can decide how we do ours.
Thanks! We have a fencing playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo0YIJuscJsY_BfZdQKluDlb.html
Awesome job, have a great day
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Love the dog.

So, you didn't drive the spike into the cross beam you drilled it, too, and the spike just holds it, right??
The spike drives into the end grain of the horizontal a bit, but the wires are what ties it all together. The spike keeps the horizontal from dropping down if the wires get a little loose.

That will be 12 gauge wire

Now twist the 2 wires above & below the horizontal
The end/start post is the one to our left? (The one the dude nailed). If not it looks like the tension wire is the wrong way ;)
neither, this H Brace is in the middle.
It is. But he does run the wire above the horizontal brace. Normally we have the wire on the pin holding the horizontal brace which I think would be stronger.
Looks great.
Thank you....it's getting there!
Looks good!

Many ways to do it.
👍👍
Thanks for watching!
nice H brace
and the sledge hammer was cheating
We only have so many hammer swings in us!
Height of pole's not level. Forgot to use a transit
That would look odd on a slope.
hey hey don't knock the help.
I know, right! It's hard to do this kind of work yourself!
Not real fond of the idea of leaving ratchet tension'rs in line wire ,rest of it was good job . I prefer a Tee slot tightening tool when dealing with tension wires .
They are great. Easy to tighten over time. Thanks for watching.
Great for DIY Farmer! FKJB!
Don't know why people use H brace. Angle brace terminated to big rock is best by university test
No rocks here.
