Installing a Welded Wire Fence
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- MariKate and I attempt to install a Welded Wire fence for the first time. It was actually easier than expected. Took about 7 hours (mostly because of purchasing mistakes) and $430 for 200ft of fence.

Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video I'm confident that I can install a fence.
You bet 👍
Took me four videos to finally run across yours that will actually show somebody the easy way to put those hooks on. Thank you thank you thank you by the way you and your wife are funny
Ha. Thanks Patrick. I agree. I couldn't really find how that hook worked either. We must have watched the same videos :)
If no one else has mentioned it, you don’t tow with the hand wench, commonly called a “come along”. Use your tractor only as an anchor point and tighten the fence by hand cranking the wench. Otherwise you can damage the wench and you lose the advantage of being able to adjust the tension by sight and hand. 0:38
The fence looks great. Thank you for sharing the useful tips!
Thanks for watching! :)
you guys did fine for the first time. Just one thing id change if you put up more fencing is to fold over the end by a couple inches then use that thick area to staple to your wood post.
Ahh. Ya, that's a good idea! Thanks watching and for the suggestion...
his wife is the real MVP
Building a fence tomorrow so this video was awesome thanks
How’d the fence building go?
nice fence -- good job! i love RedBrand Welded Wire Fence 72 in. x 100 ft. strong , tall and easy to work with.
i began using 5/8" rebar for fence posts in the 'body' of the fence. works for less important areas.
i subscribed -- good luck!
Awesome. Thanks for watching. I've been using the rebar for the hog panels (which we move around often). That is a great hack!
Just FYI- that cable puller is what we (in GA) call a “come along.” Hook one end to your fence (couple of 2x6s bolted together on opposite sides) and the other end to your tractor. Crank it like a winch.
I grew up doing this kind of stuff, so it’s nothing new to me, but it’s a pleasure watching y’all navigate the territory and problem solve together as a team. Well done.
Lol. Thanks 😊
Gabriel Pline how do you stretch in wooded area?
@@johnretired8213 well you can do it a “pro” way or you do it country. Pro way would be to stretch twine and chop down / uproot anything along a 2’ path and throw up the fence. Country way would be to find the straightest path through and use existing tree trunks as “posts”
great job guys
4:58 it disperses the stress in the wire
Thanks for making the video!
Yep. Exactly. Thanks for watching!
Everything comes with trial in there I know when I'm going to start making my fence I'm going to mess up thank you for showing your confidence
Lol. Glad I appeared confident! 😂
Thanks for sharing. I have to do this next week. I didn't realize the Mrs owns a fence co. That's helpful.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. Good luck on your project!
Good video man yall did good
Good job trying this thanks yall
👍
Just viewed your video...few tips for you....when you dig out post holes....I like to use an auger...and pour concrete mix directly into the hole...it will absorb moisture and self harden.
Good job putting up that welded wire fencing (not pronounced woven wire)...yes your next run will.go quicker!
Thanks Otto!
Run your concrete higher than ground level so water drains away from the post.
Ahh. Good tip 👍
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😁
I love your content !
Thanks 😊
Oh thats Funny! Good job!
Thanks :)
Looks great!
Lol. Thanks Bonnie! :)
How much did you spend on material? Looks great by the way
@@carlosgutierrez6952 We spent about $430 on materials for the 200 yard fence. I just listed out the materials we used in the comment section, so you can see it there...
How far apart did u guys place each T-post
T-Post every 8 feet. Wood post every 48 feet. Thanks for watching :)
@@Kakadoodlethanks!
you hire a surveyor to do your property line, never do that yourself unless you know how to locate pins
Nope. Don’t know how to do that 😒
Lol had to laugh about how the tools were used but still nice video lol.
To use the little tool on the fence you put the pieces of metal in the little holes of it first then with the cable puller you don’t need it if you already have a tractor lol
Lol. Ya, we don’t really know what we’re doing. 🙄
What kind of gate did you buy and where did you buy it?
Quick tip, next time use the loader bucket and just push those metal posts in , less work less time!
Brilliant
Do you absolutely need the wood posts in the end or corners? Thank you for the video! 😃
I don’t think so, but having the wood posts were helpful when stretching the fence.
For anybody without a tractor to tighten fence, all you need is extra t post and ratchet strap
👍
Love this video
Thanks ☺️
Unsure if this makes me a troll, but, please rename video, “wife and I learning to install a welded wire fence” .
What type of fence?
How long were t-posts?
why did you use a mixture of t-posts and wooden posts?
Are just a few of my questions.
lol. Good suggestion
Im really suprised the end posts didnt pull under the tension of the tractor. How has the ends held up with concrete. I just did a huge garden with t posts corner braces but talk about pricey. Am doing another 60x50 fence and may just concrete corners and use that fencing there.
Ya. Concrete has held up good. Been almost two years now.
Thanks so much for your video and for explaining all of that! I’m putting up a fence for the first time for our chickens and goats. What did you use to attach the fencing to the wooden posts? Also, can you stretch a fence without using a tractor or four wheeler?
There are U shaped tacks (that’s not the correct word) that simply nail into the wood posts to attach fence. I, too, would like to know how to stretch the fence if you don’t have a tractor.
We attached the fence to the wood with post nails: 3/4-in Leg x 1/4-in Round Crown Standard Staples (1-lb www.lowes.com/pd/Grip-Rite-3-4-in-Leg-x-1-4-in-Round-Crown-Standard-Staples-1-lb/3043059
And ya. You could stretch without a tractor, but would probably want to use a winch: www.harborfreight.com/8000-lb-cable-winch-puller-69855.html
Yes, simply attach the instrument they attached to the tractor I'm pretty sure was a type of " come - along ", and just hook other end of cable,(should have a hook as well, to a tree or even a temporary post in ground places properly for leverage), and that red handle on the come along will allow you to "crank" or pull the fence tight. Just moving the arm or red handle up and down will slowly pull the cable against the post or tree or tractor and you don't have to move the tractor, just the handle and it will pull together which is the purpose of that instrument.
Subscribed!!! :-)
Thanks ✌️
I didn’t know you could stretch that type of fence!
Well. It’s just kind of making it tight. Not necessarily making it longer.
@@Kakadoodle yeah I thought you had to use farm fence because of how it’s built. Vs the fence you used the wires can easily be broken. An then it just pulling away from its self. Kinda like string cheese.
Any issues with the qood posts on the ends? Do they pull in from tension? Also, did you concrete them?
We did concrete. And no issues with them pulling in.
@@Kakadoodle Thank you! Looking to build a fence like this too. And I have no clue what I'm doing. I seen some videos talking about bracing, and I wasn't planning on doing that..lol
@@blesseddwellings9829 lol. Ya. We didn’t do any bracing. And really, we only had the concrete set for a couple hours. The fence doesn’t really pull all that much on the posts. Not sure it’s necessary.
How deep did you guys drive the T post? And foes it hold steady and strong in soil without concrete?
Ya. Don’t need concrete for the t posts. You can use a hammer. Or a post driver makes it easier. www.farmandfleet.com/products/916485-smv-industries-post-driver.html?blaintm_source=google&blaintm_medium=lia&setstore=33&gclid=CjwKCAjws8yUBhA1EiwAi_tpEWaSOu97nFT7RTUsdUFx-_0-stF3sW9XP2AW7fOoxvR9UjZ0z3jxKBoCS8gQAvD_BwE
What you didn’t like about first fence you bought?
Lol. I don’t remember. I think it was woven wire? 🤷♂️
What brand of the fence did you use? And which one was wrong? I'm lost. I would like to get silver one like yours but all I see available is green vynil coated.
Thank you!
This one: RedBrand Welded Wire Fence 72 in. x 100 ft. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-welded-wire-72-in-x-100-ft?cm_vc=-10005
A little easier ... use two pieces of 2x4, and 5 or 6 bolts.
Ahh. Yes. Good idea 👍
What was the total cost of your project?
About $430
Nice seminax music
Lol.
Your title says welded wire. Woven is a whole different thing.
cool mask bro
😏✌️
Odd using the come along to pull it. I don't have a tractor.
Tractor isn’t necessary. Although It would be nice to have something to tighten it up against.
Your neighbor messed up planting those trees, if they are the green giants or similar tree they are gonna grow into your fence in a couple years they can get around 12 and 15 feet wide way to close to line
Lol. Ya. Guess we’ll have to worry about that later!
Or wait a couple years and there will be a natural fence line. No steel fence needed.
4:58 the force is not strong with this one
Cute video but didn't get any real info on how to actually put the fence up. It looks great though!!
Ya. Because this was our first attempt, and didn’t really know what we were doing!!
Whats the Gauge size of that welded wire?
14. It was this one: www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-welded-wire-72-in-x-100-ft?cm_vc=-10005
don't need so much throttle on tractor, it''ll pull that fence tight at idle
👍
Want to know how people design machines that can do this?You will find the answer on my homepage.
Ya. They would probably do a better job than us! 😂
those are u posts and not t posts
Ahh. Learn something new every day. Thanks for watching!
Lost me at the masks
😳
This was filmed a year ago.
Sad seeing the mask on the kid!
🙄
I’m impressed she wore it. Good job!
Poor kid has to wear a mask
I know 😒
It makes me sad that parents think putting a mask on their childs face is healthy.
😳
I noticed that too .
Omg who cares
Wait till you find about Halloween 🫢
@@erickleal2818 Halloween last a couple hrs. This mask bs effects kids and their development.
no help
Ya. We don’t really know what we’re doing
Putting a mask on a child is criminal!
Ya. That’s what I’ve heard.
Putting a mask on those little kids 🤦🏻♂️ Those poor undeveloped lungs all because you believed political science.
✌️
I stopped watching as soon as he asked the child to put the mask on.
Ya. I hear ya.
