Tim, I live in an area where trees are plentiful and very much valued by my clients, which means nearly every job has trees in the fenceline. It drove me mad till I started suggesting my clients should consider a tree corridor (doesn't work as well West of the ranges) and I can then fence on a clear line. I do make it very clear that a very important part of having a good fence is ongoing maintenance, particularly keeping vegetation clear, especially considering birds love to sit on fenclines and deposit their pre-fertilised seeds directly beneath them.
Thanks for the information. I have several mutually shared trees that I can't cut. This gives me a few ideas on dealing with fencing my livestock until my neighboring crop farmer and I can agree on how to remove them.
In another life I used to be an arborist the found many things grown into trees and the biggest culprit for this was farmers. Unfortunately the guilty were normally long departed so I couldn't force them to resharpen my chain.
A half diamond would be one less post. A half hex might allow for better flow of critters and equipment around the tree (to marry the box and triangle). Interesting method of fencing.
Very interestinas always ! In spring I have to repair the faence in my orchard and I deal with a situation like thus and I was wodering my self how can I do it propery . Thanks Tim ! Greeting from Romania , Europe !
Thank you for this great & very useful video. We have a large tree that we were thinking of how to fence off, you really saved the day! Where can that posthole shovel be purchased?
Another great video. Tips I can really use. Do you know much about agrivoltaics? I am on an off grid property and wondering if there is much of a take up in Oz?
Hi Tim would you be able to screw a few galvanised eye bolts to the tree and run the fence wire through them keeping the wire from touching the tree regards Tim
The first thing you learn when you travel to look at fences is that every district does it differently. Tradition, what the neighbours do, what your dad did and what the price and availability of product is dictates the type of fencing used. Pine fencing is still common around my parts, although steel is making its way in. Go to the Western district and pine still rules. Go to NSW and it’s the land of steel. You will see all kinds of fencing on my channel, but you will never see rudeness when confronted with different ideas.
This guy's cheerful Australian sarcasm is...refreshing.
9:50 Pinch proof timber.
Tim's amazing!

When Tim says "that won't go anywhere", I bloody believe it.
Heheheh

Good stuff, Tim, thanks for the video,,,
Those Davo's fencing clips are bloody fantastic 👏

Glad it was useful Vlad! Love finding out about viewers in exotic places!
You can also go threaded rod through through the tree with eye nuts on the ends

Interesting idea for a story. Leave it with me and I’ll see what I can do.....
Hi Tim would you be able to screw a few galvanised eye bolts to the tree and run the fence wire through them keeping the wire from touching the tree regards Tim
Yes mate. Have a sponsor working on something even easier right now. I’ll hopefully get to give the idea a spin soon
If the tree is dead and on the fence line can you use it as a mid-run strainer post?
I’d avoid it still. It’s going to rot
I thought that under the rural boundary fence laws it was illegal to have a tree or building withing three meters of the fence ?
Not where I am mate. Rules vary wildly
??? weve planted 1000s of trees in the fence lines especially at the corners
Hopefully not ON the fence.
Cut the tree down. Easy
Who builds a fence out of pine in the bush? Good lord...
