Also what is the reason for leaving space between the edge of your pasture and your fence?
to keep a well maintained fence line....put it up against the forest and in 3 years we'll have the forest grown up into the fence...sacrifice about 1/2 acre of a 35 acre paddock and you eliminate the nightmare of spraying...trees encroaching and more....ease of maintenance and repair my friend
Mow on the other side! It's a PITA to beal with fallen trees on a fence too
yep...plus it's nice to grab a cold one and go for a "fence cruise" in the evenings
Josh in time you could find the lot line and string a electric wire and put goats in the wooded are to reclaim the wasted woods area . It will just get worse
more to come brotha....we most certainly have more to come on the farm...just can't do it all at once...I've got some great ideas for the forest!
I love the way your show mistakes and goofs...seems more like us out here.
Stay safe.
part of life is learning and admitting failure....moving forward and learning from it my brotha...thanks for the great comment
WOOOOOO!
Gotta feed the algorithm.
Josh,
If you get one of those fancy neodymium magnets, you can pick up all of those wire bits. Each bit isn't much, but with the miles of fence you're doing you can probably recycle enough to more than pay for the magnet and you'll also be able to make some magnet fishing videos when all of the fence work is finished.
Another amazing video! Your assistant, William (aka "wild Bill" LOL), is a huge help! He knows exactly what to do, and always right there when you need him. A big "hello" to "wild Bill":) Josh, I like that you don't sugar coat anything. You even share your mistakes, and show how to correct them. Love your channel. Have an awesome week...woooo! LOL
Awesome information , I had to come back to review those knots
Great training aid Josh. Thanks. I don’t intend to build any fence in the future, but for those who will should find this to be a valuable help. Retired OLD Navy vet really enjoying your farm build. Keep up the good work.
Great video Josh awesome looking fence
Love that system. When I built my high tension fence used the same product. Those post ties and the bit for the drill is a life saver!! JH
@Texas Best Construction - I have been watching your channel too. Enjoy the barndominium builds. Planning one in the next year or two
I like the west Virginia socket set hammer combo 😂😂😂
Very informative video Josh. I had never thought about how you tie the post based on which way the fence was running, high/low. Will absolutely use that knowledge when installing the next time.
Thank you,
Doug D
Neat video. Glad to meet you Woody.
Good looking fence! Great job!
Always learning on the Stoney ridge
Awesome Josh thanks for teaching us I appreciate it
Thank you josh for sharing all this great content
Another awesome video and an excellent teaching moment. Thank you and yes it's hot today too in Virginia Beach.
Glad you enjoyed it
Every clamp and every gate is one step closer! Looking good!
amen!
Welp, you just answered my question about standing on my Kubota tailgate. Thx Josh! 😂
WOOOOOO!🇺🇸 All your Vlogs have great information Josh 🇺🇸 the fence is looking so good 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing with us.
Love your farm and also love the way you make videos.. God bless.. Wooooooo
Love the how to video..
You would have made a great teacher!
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you ....I enjoy teaching and building...would ya believe this was my first time pulling down net wire like that?
You had me going at first I thought you was building a 12 foot fence 🤣😂
Stop hitting the steel wedges with a steel hammer. Use a Brass or Lead hammer. Great stuff on the Stoney Ridge Farm. Woooo
Really enjoy watching your video you are doing a great job
That fence is lookin good!! great videos
Good work!
Great instructional video and we get excellent acting as part of it. Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just a thought on what I do on the gates that I hang, I coat it with axle grease, keeps it a little more quiet and won't wear quit as quick. Cause is ya think about it, that's a lot of weight hangin on those hinges.
Looking good there bud 👌 hope everything is going well at the farm .godbless bud
Great video! That looks like a heck of a project (been following the previous videos). I can see your dilemma with the gate... an idea you could play with is to build up with treated material staggering longer and longer to filll in but still be able to drive in. Be a little dirt work but you’re awful handy. Best wishes!
Great video. Thanks for sharing the info. Chris
You bet
Stoney man great video
Hey Josh thank you for the video and your fence looks nice there you and your helper to the good job there I like that fence and thanks for explaining it the way you did too
You bet...and thanks for always having something nice to say Scott
Woody! It is nice to see an ambitious young man that knows how to work. I'm not sure if Josh's mentoring created Woody or if he is a rare specimen of youth with some common sense. I can tell by the way he was helping.
About all you could have done with a slope in a gate opening is to level it out. Can’t have the gate slope much and don’t want the posts off plumb.
Good job guy's
Thanks Samuel...and thanks for always having something nice to say....Don't think I don't notice your comments...You are appreciated my friend
These fence videos are interesting.
You're a Alright Good Old Farm Dude 🚜...
I was baffled by this video. First you placing the stretcher too high and then pulling down with the pallet forks. Of course I only used chain link with round posts and t posts with woven wire. The skid steer I use pushes down with the pallet fork and the stretcher fits inside the fork. You did an excellent job explaining gate installation. You also work really well with your helper.
Awesome fence project!!! In my day it was all creosote treated wooden post. Biggest problem where the trees damaging the fence when they fell from weather etc.
Thanks for video,was very informative!!
yeppers...that's why we're off from the edge of the woods about 7-15 feet in most cases
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer good distance,but it is usually not far enough! Any way that's my luck! LOLL
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great videos
Dig that "Adjustable Hammer"....
lol...rotate and smack and rotate and smack
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yepper's.....
Good tech solution
Great video I will say this it's a lot better way of fencing as the way we did it when we grew up there ain't nothing like digging the post hole by hand tamping in the posts and then the stretching the wire and steepleing the wire to the post piece of cake lol great job of showing the better way to fence have a good one wooooo
Yessir dug alot of holes and tamped alot of posts in my day too!
We been buildin fence too. This heat and humidity ots not good fence building weather 😂 I have to dig my post holes all by hand and tamp by hand. 🥵
Lance I know what you are talking about I have dug holes myself by but that's a few years ago but it worked well just a lot harder
@@ronniejenkins2056 builds character I reckon!
In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet, God leads his dear children along.....
I did a couple of gates before. On the high side of the gate you can weld extra runners at that side at an angle tobasically extend the gate down
That fence is looking sweet !
On the gate, will you weld some extra tubing on the bottom or raise up the ground with some fill to make that space smaller ? Or is it ok the way it is ? Thanks for the very informative video ! Thumbs up Big Guy !!
Good idea on adding to the bottom of the gate. It’s going to take a good welder to make it look like it belongs...but that is a great idea.
Awesome
Good afternoon
Great looking fence. Woody needs a couple good meals!
dude eats like a horse!! lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer lol! I figured he did! I wish I could!
Woooo!!!
dad always told us put the fence on the inside of the between the cattle and the post that way the cattle will push defense against the post except on the corner stinney put on the outside
called, fencing, in or out, you are correct, but most dont do it
Hey josh, man that fence looks great bro. Not being critical at all just an idea if you wanted, where your gate is, if you have a bucket for your bobcat can you take out about 6 in or so of dirt and level your gate to the hinge side and receiving post side so you don't have to worry about it not being level? Just a thought bc u said u had to drive by it everyday. I was trying to think of a way that would help you modify it a little to achieve that goal buddy. You have some nice fence there that's for sure
Interesting
Josh could you bring up the grade a little?
the adjustable wrench, it's a pry bar, hammer, wrench, and anything else you can make it do
Farm wrench! WOooooO!
Thanks for the super fence video 👍. Friendly reminder you would feel better and healthy if you lost some weight. You may feel like young buck again!
Thanks Blackberry farm....so let's give you some background on me..I was a collegiate road cyclist...was NC, VA, SC, GA and TN state champ on the mountain bike for several years....I've won the Shenandoah Mountain 100 Mountain bike race....I agree with ya....I need to drop some lbs...however building this farm takes every waking minute of my day....finding the time to train and burn those calories is tough. I agree with ya....drop 40 lbs and I'll probably feel like a million bucks....FYI nobody likes to be told they're fat....even if it's true bhahhahha....watch...you'll soon see the fit Josh coming back...there are things going on here on the farm that you don't know about...stressors that are most difficult to overcome...by by fat josh very soon!
Looks like you still have a few inches on the hinge side to lower the gate. Love the fence. I’m buying a farm damn it!
buying the farm is the cheap part lol
Well done, your pasture is looking amazingly green (at 22:24). It would be great to see how well the freshly seeded areas are doing if you get a moment to spare.
Also an update on the syphon problem . Is it still fixed and what was the solution?
Siphon is working again! And we'll do some updates on the new seeded areas soon....not much to make a video about if I just go show the grass...gotta mix it into another vid
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yes just a drone shot would be good.
I was curious to see how well it has grown and how much got washed away.
I presume you will have to mow it for a couple of years before you can let the cows feed on it.
Hey Woody
A company I worked for for nearly 10 yrs invented and produced the ties in this video. They were called "twist tight ties", by LC Enterprises in Escanaba Mi and were originally designed for prison fences then expanded.
cool
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Also invented the Instalink... We were on the cover of "world fence news" 3 times when I was there, and I was in 2 of the 3 photos. One of which showcased using the instalink when we installed over a mile of 6' aluminized 10ga (holes dug, posts set, and fabric stretched and tied) with a three man crew over rough terrain and swampy land in the middle of the woods in less than 8 hrs! We had a blast! Later that year, we procured a contract with DandyDigger...an animal all of its own!
Don't kids yourself you are the sidekick lol.
bhahahhah...I won't kids myself ....we sold the goats 😋
How much more expensive is higher tensile woven versus just high tensile fence?
Thanks love your videos so much!!
www.shopfarmfencesolutions.com/fence-wire/ there ya go....call them if ya have more questions my friend
Thank you!!
Great video, learned a lyou used on different ot on fencing from you. I was wondering if there is video on what type of fencing you used on different parts of the farm and why?
we only have 2 types of fence...the wood fence you see in the background...and this fence...the wood is functional and pretty too...the pipe fence is also functional...we are constructing paremeter fence for different areas and paddocks on the farm...we'll use poly braid to section of and intensively graze as our herd grows
Those dewalts like the bigger batteries it seems to me. The 4 or 6 Ah packs seem to work much better when you need power.
Thought you were going Jurassic Park on us, lol.
lol
Whoooo! 🤠💙🇺🇸
Does the EASY TWIST T-POST TIES 11 GA (1000/BOX) come with the socket to twist them? It's such a cool and smart idea!!
U can put a hole in the bottom of the fince pole to let the water drain out
The fence looks great. It's a lot of work but it will keep animals where they belong.
Hey Josh, love your friends building series. I am curious as if there’s going to be cattle in this pasture, why your fence is not on the inside of the post and not the outside? Wouldn’t that make it easier for them to push it out?
so.....yes...however they won't be able to push the fence...we went on the outside here around the house for aesthetics...same as the wood board fence. We'll run a hot wire inside to keep livestock off the fences
Stoney Ridge Farmer got it Josh. I understand why you did it that way now. Love your channel and will continue to support.
Curious to why you leave the guide wire with the fence after the posts are set. I get why you are using it for the line to set the fence over string but is there are purpose for it once the wire fencing is installed? Also where the gap is really big on the fence gate could you weld a section on it to fill in the gap? I know it would look a little cattiwhompus but I would be concerned for the baby calves there as well. Great job as always!
The wire at the bottom brings strength to the fence....the top is the most stressed point....the second most stressed point of a fence is the bottom, as for the gate...10 inches most likely isn't gonna cause me a problem...if it does we'll address it for sure
25 years of gate closing and I never knew that chain trick.
lol..glad to be of service...someone had to teach me for me to share it with you! WOooooooO!
Right, that was a good tip!
Enjoying the videos, are you selling the “ain’t right if it ain’t tight” shirt?
You know you can solve the problem of the gate by putting some soil with retaining blocks to bring the grade up closer to the fence. If you put the retaining blocks by the opening end post on the lower end and then just grading some soil you can even take that from within the pasture area or anywhere else on the farm just move it in with bucket loads on any of your tractors or skid steer. If you have concerns about stepping off and falling down over the retaining blocks, you could put up any short segment of fencing including a four board fence with a post inside and one outside and then run your boards or slats through the tornado wire fencing creating a small T on the open side of the gate which would have no effect on your fence height or gate height. Hopefully I’ve explained it well enough for you to understand, whether or not you do it is up to you of course. Wooooo!
Getting a big farm. I agree that you need full time help.
Mr Lincoln (welder) could add a loop to the bottom to pull down
Wonderful fence looks very heavy! How did you put poles in ground? Drive them ? Did not see concrete!
you need to check out some of our fenceing videos...check last weekends video and you'll see lots of details
Drive them, You Have to watch the last video, it was awesome !
Josh I must have missed the part where you put anchors on the posts ??
lol...ya see what happens when ya have all these fence crews out....instead of waiting to show important things....we push forward and get the job done...more to come in the future I promise!
I noticed in this video that the tops of your posts are not capped. I know from previous videos that your pipes are very heavy duty, but there could be a possibility of those pipes splitting in the winter with water freezing in them. You may consider capping the posts just to keep it from happening. I have had pipe posts in Illinois freeze and split when I ddi jot cap them.
keep watching and we talk about it ...wink wink
Why is the fence on the outside of the posts? Wouldn't the fence be stronger if the fence was on the pasture side of the posts?
This was done for aesthetics here close to the house..realistically the cows will be out front here about 3 weeks per year
I've seen that question before and was curious myself. Josh will tell us !
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer how far did you space your posts?
Also what is the cost per acre for that fencing?
Looks like 20 or 24 feet on spacing but you can't do that far with cheap farm store store wire... Any low carbon wire needs post around 10 to 12 feet to be half as strong
a magnet on a stick would help police those little bits from the ties.
1443 use magnet to pick up ends so animals cant eat or step on them, murphys law. 226 make a big dirt bump under gate at high spot. I use one layer of patio blocks under gravel then top with dirt. Hilti cordless, you wont look back.
Wish you would have shown all the processes/steps of hanging the fence. I know it was complicated but it would have helped the viewers so that when they get in a pickle, they would know how to fix it.
I did....in the last 4 videos...but I can't publish a 2 hour video on fencing...so this is broken up into series. I have nearly 40 videos out on fencing....take the time to check some out Jeannie...this is but 1 video of many many more
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm sorry. I meant hanging that last gate. It was hard because the ground wasn't level. 40 videos on fencing?!! I don't know why I enjoy watching fences being made but I do. I'll check out more of your videos. Looking forward to seeing your new pasture finished, too. WOOO !!
Josh, are you or could you give a price per foot on the cost of this fence? Or some price on it? I know you got some of it at a discount for putting it on your channel but really curious on price. My wife finally retires in April of next year and moving back home to Kansas and will be starting our own homestead..
Man...it's so dependant on corners, gates, hills, rocks, soil condition ....so much here is dependent on so many variables....probably around $8-13 per foot...again...very dependent on so many variables
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks, Woooo
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Josh is that just materials only? Thanks!
I am not grasping what the single wire at the bottom is for? Just for lining up the posts?
yep...exactly
I have a 150 acre farm and in really like that fencing but how much per foot do people charge to install it?
man...totally depends on so many factors....I'd say contact the folks at www.farmfencesolutions.com and get your start....pricing can be anywhere from $6 per foot to $16 or more
Great video Josh. I do have a question, why did you go with woven wire vs a high tensile electric? Thanks
Not Josh, but if you can afford it, woven wire for perimeter fencing is always the way to go. No worries about deer dunning through it, power outage, or a short.
Steve Terry For rotational grazing, high tensile electric is pretty handy for setting up paddocks.
Woven wire parameter fence is best in my opinion...it's not a psychological barrier...it's a physical barrier to keep our livestock contained. Where we live is populated...not like Polyface (Joel Salitan) or Greg Judy's place that's way out in the middle of nowhere. We'll have a "hot" line ran acrosss the top and in high traffic areas we'll have one at about 30 inches. We will mobstock rotationally graze by tapping into the parameter hot wire and running poly electric cross fences...just like the other boys ya see here on youtube...but with Josh's touch. Safety is priority....many a cow, calf or sheep or goat has pushed it's way under, over or through high tensile electric .....just ask anyone who's used 5 strands or even 7 strands of high tensile. We need a physical barrier to keep our cattle away from the local roads.....So...the answer is safety...for our livestock...and for passers bye. How horrible would I feel if I had thrown together a fence that wouldn't contain my cattle...and a state trooper calls me in the middle of the night to tell me a mini van just hit one of our cows and killed 4 children and a mother.......THAT'S WHY MY BROTHA...this is not the end of our fencing...this is just the start...the parameter. Hope this answers ya....I'm getting ripped apart by every Greg Judy fan on the web....I've been there....I talk to the man on the phone from time to time....but our situations are very different....cool?
Thanks Steve....what folks have to remember is this is just the parameter fence....and we'll run a hot line on top...and we'll be intensively grazing once we have enough of a herd to do it. This is a physical barrier...that's what it's all about...safety...security and being a good land steward. We're far from done!
Fair enough. I’m familiar with Polyface and Greg Judy. It’s hard to judge tone through text so I hope my question didn’t come across as an attack. Just curious what made you go with woven wire. Thanks for the response.
If I have a deer issue can this system be installed at 8'? To keep deer from jumping over the fence. I haven't been able to find a good and humane solution to keep the deer out. I love the deer just not in my fields and gardens. Great videos. Thanks for what you share!
yep....farmfencesolutions.com they have deer fencing! Talk to Luke...he's a wealth of knowledge
Electric fence will keep deer out.
Josh, you ever get your passive water system fixed?
It's holding strong after replacing that flattened pipe section...maybe that was what was wrong
Nice fence... How did you stretch that wire so tight?
Watch the other fence videos I put out a few days ago...this has been a couple weeks in the making...click our fencing playlist
Hey Josh... dont you also have the cub cadet UTV? Or did you get rid of that one. Or is this an old video? I havent seen the John Deere Gator in a while
Cub cadet was sold...was selling the gator..but the fella fell in love with the Cub so I let it go
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer ah cool! So you plan on keeping the Gator? I like the look of that machine
First 👍
On the fence you were worried about keeping the bottom low enough to prevent animals escaping but the gate being high at one end is no big deal?
Are you trying to be a jerk?
THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM...
Just a thought I’d weld some nubs on the fence post so that over time the fence doesn’t rides up!!
this holds pretty tight...more likely to pull the fence post out of the ground than to slide up the post my brotha
Maybe i miss it ,? when did the lowest single wire get typed down? We ran a string of barbwire in that location and one at the top.keeps horse from reaching over the top and bottom.
oohh...don't tell the horse folks you're using barbed wire!! So the lower wire is tied in at the bottom of the net wire...provides strength down low...as you well know the most stock pressure is on the top of the fence...second most is on the bottom..thanks for the great comment Greg
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer So it is tied to the lowest strand of the fence wire. thanks! As for the horse folks they will just have get over it!!LOLL
