- In this detailed video, I show you how I install my corner post and bracing for my orchard fencing.
Check out our Amazon store and help support our channel www.amazon.com...
I coated the bottom of the posts with a roof coating, here's the link: www.homedepot....
The clips I used for the wire bracing are here: www.lowes.com/...

Excellent demonstraiton. thank you for sharing. I've seen these fencing corner brace arrangements exactly like this or similar, hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years. But I've never had the occasion to actually watch them being constructed. Nice to actually see one being put together.
Great video! I normally use the tractor to position the horizontal braces before using the long bit to drill the holes. It makes sure rebar is aligned correctly while driving it in.
Nice work, and it's peaceful listening to you explain what your doing without all the anoying useless info other channels are providing. You hit the nail on the head when you said there are other ways of doing it, but this was cheap and it works. I'm all for the cheapest way as long as it works and it lasts. I will be doing a similar project but around a veggie garden here in Minnesota. I will be going a bit shorter height though because our dog is able to keep out all the potential animal intruders. Thanks again!
Thank you 👍
This was probably the best video on setting a corner post I have seen. Thank you very much
pvtrout Thank you, I really appreciate that.
His presentation style is good!
Great video. I will be doing fencing soon and this is the most simple way I have seen to do corners. Thanks.
Thanks for this, Pete! I really like how you didn't over engineer everything. I was really glad to see the reliable simplicity of your wire stays. (I was over thinking that bit) I hope the orchard is going well. I'm currently building my fencing to keep out elk and coyotes.
Thank you 👍
.. You are a Very Patient and Very Dedicated Man .. Great Job building those Corner-Posts ..
Thank you 👍
Beautiful demo Sir... watching from Africa
Mans best friend besides a dog is the posthole auger!🤠
Absolutely👍
And a Crescent Wrench (farmers friend).
Your method and instruction was very helpful. Built a solid fence using your method. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
really like the idea of coating the post bottoms, should last a LONG time !!
Thanks
Honestly the best fencing videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks a ton!
Thank you 👍
My wife and I are just starting our homestead...you can bet we are going to use this technique. Thanks!!!
👍
Thank you for taking the time to share this skill with us!
Thank you 👍
Outstanding video! Very detailed step-by-step procedure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience with us! Sincere regards!
Thanks for a good demonstration. Now we’ll start fencing in the spring. God bless you.
I go to a lot of farm sales. Over the last few years i have picked up a lot of cheap cable come alongs. Easy to use for your bracing.
👍
Pallet forks for the loader sure does make that job a lot easier.
👍
Set all corner posts , first , pull a string........then set all other posts for each corner !
Y
Your video has answers to a lot of my questions, other than setting up posts too. Plus, nice to see an Indian brand tractor operating in US. Cheers :)
Thank you
I know its pretty had when you work by yourself. You could have cut the top of you post at a 45* to shed water or maybe you will tar them. Also you could paint an X or a + with bright paint so you could hit dead center. Nice Job !
👍
Stanley Keith I'd have to mark it too! He's pretty handy to be able to eyeball it that well .
Great video!! I am having to repair several fence parts on my property. This certainly helps me with some extra ideas. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you
This guy has his sh!t together ! Great job & great video ! Lot's of Anglo women have to be wondering, how come he didn't choose local. Thanks for the super video Pete, this helped me much.
Glad it was helpful 👍
I've been building a fence post brace post like that for 40 years but I always put my posts in the ground 4 feet deep
👍
That is a really nice corner post , I sure do like the way you have done it, nice and sturdy. My husband always put the gate on the ground and it had gotten so hard for me to open is why I said what I did about the wheel, we ended up putting them on the gates :-)
Thank you, wheels definitely help carry the weight and make it much easier to open but the ground has to be fairly flat or level. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Sir!
Awesome job!

Nice job
Great video series. I'm moving to rural Maine and trying to figure out a low cost, effective deer exclusion solution for the garden/orchard. Thanks for the well produced helpful vids.
Thank you for this video! Better information here than from the building supply house where i bought the posts. I appreciate you man!!
Thank you 👍🙂
I have been looking for a video like this for a while, clean, straight to the point. When I'll do mine I was thinking about sealing the top of the post (crosscut) facing the sky with the same protective paint you used at the bottom to avoid water to stagnate in small pockets and eventually get its way into the post which with freezes may promote wood cracking. I have no experience though so don't know how strong that treated post is so I may be overthinking.
Hi, ok so most posts fail at the ground to air interface. Water itself does not rot wood. It actually PRESERVES IT! Wood rot happens from a repeated "wet-dry' cycle. When this happens the wood fibers swell and shrink and it weakens them. That is rot.
OK the tops of post do rot as well and take lots of sun too. This will eventually cause too rot, but it's less likely to do anything major to the post. Most will fail at the bottom first as I stated.
Painting the tops would certainly slow down the top rot. However that roof sealer will crack eventually and let water in.
Maybe a better solution would be plastic caps. Like they use for piers at the seashore. They may last a lot longer. ?
Thank Mr Push, I have also seen some homesteaders cutting the top at an angle facing south so rain water slide down and it get direct sun in winter.
I just found your channel. Loving it... Blessings to you! I really needed to learn this info for a future project!
Thank you ☺
I wish my soil looked like this!
"I don't use a drill bit this long ever" lol that's what she said. Subbed
I've seen a deer jump a 10' high chainlink fence. Also good job on the fence. I am a fence contractor in SW Florida. I install pvc, chainlink aluminum and wood fence. Ill be installing my first no climb horse fence in a month or so.
Thank you, Yes deer are amazing jumpers. I'm hoping to deter the deers from jumping the 7 foot fence into my orchard.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading I own a commercial orchard. 7' is plenty. They will not jump 7' to get in, however they can and will jump it if you leave the gate open and chase them out....Been there, done that!
Nice video. Imagine how hard this would’ve been before tractors and battery powered tools!
some of us dont have to imagine
I have those long drills. They go through like lightning.
좋은 거 보여주셔서 감사합니다.
Good job.Thanks for sharing.
Good video & instructions. Thanks
Absolutely love your channel. Learning a lot from every video.
Thank you, I really appreciate that 👍
Good job. Nice soil. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful with how to do the wire bracing.
Don Clark Thank you
Excellent video! Thank You. Looked online and could not find 6”x10’ posts at Tractor Supply.
Thank you, but the posts are made locally here in east Texas. Try to do a search in your area for the posts.
Awesome video. Helped me with a college project.
👍
Great video Thanks Bud👍🏻
Great video! I’m about to build our goat pen with utility poles I’m getting for free from our electric company. Also going to use them as raised beds.
Pete nice job with the post,well it’s been 2 years so I am guessing you will getting some fruit this year.
Thanks, I had pears, plumbs, persimmons and nectarines last year but I never got to taste the nectarines but the raccoons did. 🙁
Great job! Gonna be doing that some time soon on our project!
Thank you
I would break 1 7/16” grade 8 sheer pin an hr drilling holes for my posts where I live, the soil has so many big rocks. 55 hp tractor, 12” auger.
Wish I lived on a farm, love that tractor and accessories. Guess I am a farm boy wannabe. :O)
Thank you, make it happen and find a place out in the country and get away from the city like I did. I'll never go back to that rat race again.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading You are lucky. I am 84 YO. Too late for me. If you were my age you would know why!
Be careful what u wish for. Check local noise ordinances first !
Thanks, I am going to do the same but down sized a little. I'll make my 2 acres in town look like country.
👍
PA Lawn Guy. Pete, I was thinking I would take some marking dye and paint a concentric circle around each stake, remove the stakes, and move the auger to each circle without having to dismount the tractor twice at each stake to drill each hole. I think this would save you time.
Please leave your thoughts.
Jerry F Sorry for the late response. Yeah that's a good idea but I still have to get off the tractor to make sure the auger is straight.
Great video, Thanks. Fixin to start a fencing job and this really helps me find out how to brace the corners.
Great video. Clear and concise. I am in east Texas also. Would you share your additional treatment recipe?
Thank you 👍
If you turn your pto off while your auger is still in the hole then lift it out nice and slow it will leave you a little less work cleaning them out.
Just thinking about the use of a tension wire for bracing as opposed to the old method of a compression timber pole brace that goes in opposite direction. With a gate hanging off that post the wire helps to keep the vertical posts and the horizontal beam clamped together tighter, were as the wooden brace method would pull apart. But if its just fencing wire on both sides I think I still prefer the good old wooden braces, also with notches on all joints to stop slipping up and down the posts. It's the old school Chippy 🔨 in me, can't beat a good mechanical joint over relying on just fastenings. 👍🏽
Good video sir. We are doing some fencing on our land. Gonna use this video as a guide. Thanks
👍
I like how he tells his dog to leave. Dog says yikes!
Like that car in the background when you're digging the holes
Thank you sir. You just have done my day. I work on it tomorrow!
👍
You did such a super job with this video, Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much!
great video - very useful for me to see what I need to do on my first fence. Thanks! Good comment by Rick Berg below, too.
DellsDad86 Thank you
Thanks good info Iam going to start a project this helped a lot. I probably look at video again.
👍
Great video, and your work looks good! But if you want some tips from someone who builds and paints fences for a living, here you go. Save your clamps. Just start and end your wire at a post and staple the ends to the post. No clamp is necessary. Also, there is no need to paint or treat the ends of the posts going into the ground. UV does way more damage to the wood than the soil. Almost every post I have ever pulled to rebuild fences is like new below the ground. It’s from the ground up where they deteriorate from the UV and heat. Also never cut posts. Try to space your posts better, or if driving them in, drive them to the right depth. When treatment is applied at the mill, they only treat the posts so deep all the way around. As soon as you cut them, you have just exposed untreated wood to the elements and it voids the warranty of the posts. And last but not least, once you are finished twisting the wire with the rebar, remove the rebar. The wire will not unwind. Again, you are doing a great job but I hope these tips help you are others.
Hello! Thank you for your advice kindly. Please if I may ask. Is it okay to leave the rebar in for my hot/cold upper Midwest climate so that I may release and then add tension with the heat/thaw cycles?
Thanks
I am a first time viewer love what I see so far!
Thank you ☺
Thanks dude. Exactly what I needed.
Nice job, unless that end treatment allows water to escape it will build up and still rot the bottom. If you ever have removed a bad fence post ( like the ones you have )the top always rots first due to the fact that water enters the top (seal the top and forget the rest) the post is already treated also add rock to the bottom so any water drains
Thanks, These post are CCA treated and should last 30 years but I also treated the post that makes ground contact with roofing tar except the very bottom so water can get out.
at the bottom of the post i put a chain saw cut just over 1/4" deep on the cack side for the wire to set into, plus 2 staples one on each side, as i have had the wire slip up in the winter pulling out the staples, our frost go down 7 feet.. o tar the cut once the wire is in
👍
Wish tractor supply had big posts like that.
These were locally made here in east Texas
Great video. Thanks the step by step process and detail.
👍
I want to do almost exactly the same thing, but I keep getting hung up on cutting a mortise joint with the chain saw rather than using a piece of rebar. I'm now at the acceptance stage that yours is the way I should be doing it. I guess I could use 2 pieces of rebar instead of just one?
I used 3/8 rebar and it's holding up great. You could use 1/2 rebar if you're worried about it.
Five in the ground on the corner that will be 4-H braces on toners they will not lean when you tension The wire
Just Wonderful. Learnt many things! Thank you
Thank you
Thank you! Been looking for something that did not involve all that high dollar hardware for corner bracing / wiring.
Glad the video was helpful 👍
thats some nice soil there. good video
Thanks 👍
Just ran across your channel.. Great video!! Just gained yourself a new subscriber from Oklahoma!
Awesome! Thank you!
thank you for this.
Great video. I will be putting a fence up soon and this will be very handy!
Thank you
The distance between the corner posts and the brace ought to be twice the height of the fence
You must live close to me..I am close to onalaska texas..I love watching your videos
Howdy neighbor 👍
Well done mate, that should hold up to those pesky elephants.
😂👍
Painting them was a great idea -- thanks . Last week lowes appraised regular metal fence for 5,600$$$$ ----hahahaha ====>>>>SHIT!!!!!!!
.
Raise the forks to eye level, then drill a hold in the post's end
Outstanding job,Thanks
Very interesting to watch 👍
Hello from Tuxpan veracruz
Bienvenido mi amigo a mi canal de youtube
I don’t know much about building a fence so just asking is there a reason why you didn’t cement them in the ground? Are they just as strong?
I don't cement them because water can get trapped in between the post and cement and the post will rot. But if you do cement them, I would recommend putting the post in first, then add a few inches of dirt at the bottom and then add the cement. This way when water goes down in between the post and cement, it will be able to get out at the bottom and not get stuck there like if the post was sitting in a cement cup.
Great video!.Lots of information.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video im about to do some fencing for cattle very informative thanks a lot
Thank you
How tight is too tight? I just did this method and was thinking how strong is the wire? Could I tighten it too much that it snaps? BTW, thanks for this video...... awesome instructions
If you put 9 guage wire like I did, you won't have to worry about breaking it 🙂. But the wire should feel tight when you grab it and move it back and forth, that's good enough.
Great video! Bet those corners last for maaaannnny years! Aug 9 2018
Kay M Thank you, I hope they do too. These posts are treated to last 30 years, I'll be 85 but I didn't think I'll be replacing them then or if ill even make it 😉
just a question, why didnt you set the horizontal posts inbetween the corner post on the pallet forks and then drill the holes for the re bar and then hammer it in while in place? It seems that it would be easier then pre drilling and trying to line everything up after the fact. Thanks, great video and new subscriber
That would work too. I could of got one end in place the drilled through and hammered the rebar in, then go do the same to the other side.
Thanks. Great video, worth the watch.
steve myers Thank you
You are the best!👍👍👍
Like your channel!! I live in Etex as well! Want a couple of acres where my son can do this stuff❤️
Thank you 👍
Well done!
Larry Leone Sorry for the late response, but thank you
I liked this, but i have gates at the corners. Not enough room to move it down.
up all night watching stuff, yo0ur post are about 2 and trheequarter in out of plumb at the top, gonna affect the swing of your gate
I would think you would want to measure the height on the corner post and markit with a small nail. Then, run a string to the each of the support poles using a line level. that way, if the ground is uneven, your horizontal supports will all be level - even if teh 'ground' ain't
A D10 dozer would have trouble moving those post. That’s stout!
