Weave a t post through the fence and attach the come a long to the t post.
That’s so freaking brilliant lol and very simple
Great idea
@@LIBERTY0RDEATH I ended up doing this with a piece of rebar
why didn't I see this before I started running my fence? I don't have a come along, but I do have a UTV with a built in winch.
Maybe when I start on the next section...
I use (2) 3 foot sections of 2x6 then sandwich the fence between the 2x6s and use a couple deck screws to hold it together. I then hook my come-a-long to the 2x6s. Much stronger than directly to the fence.
I do the same thing using 4 ft. sections. I have my corner post and support post already set and concreted in. I sandwich the fencing between the 2x6s and also have eye bolts on either end of the 2x6s with a chain running between the two eye bolts. Hook the come-a-long to the middle of the chain and the other end to my tractor. Take up the slack with the tractor and finish pulling tight with the come-a-long.

It's awesome that you involve your daughter into your projects, kids love to work with their parents, it's in our human nature.
I really don't know where to start . I have been involved with farming my whole life . Built and repaired miles of fence and have never seen anything like this .
#1 - please start with good corner braces .
#2- have the appropriate tools
#3- use at least 4 wire clips per post . If you don't , your fence will eventually sag .
#4- please don't have your horses in the pasture when you are fencing . Can you imagine the wreck , if your horses spooked and ran through your partially built fence .
Curious if you have any advice... trying to put up a quick tpost fence for horses but also to keep dogs in... I know we need solid corner braces. Do you think 8ft T-posts would be necessary for horse fencing? Trying to put wire all the way to the ground to also keep dogs in so thinking we may need to go with 60in wire. Appreciate any advice!
@@ashleysullivan7965 Hi Ashley, thanks for your questions. I think 8 ft. posts would work . On the corners ,if you can't use wood post ,you could use some steel post braces that I have seen on the internet . Hopefully you can Google them . Good luck with your fencing and of course your horses and dogs .
@@ashleysullivan7965 I suggest a wooden H post brace with a 8’x8” corner post. You really don’t want to cheap out on bracing, especially if you have livestock. Dare brace products has some great tutorial videos on how to do it.
The video is great, this kind of tool is still very practical, not long ago, I bought a renhotecic brand pliers, it is very convenient to use, it works very well. Everyone can use a tool
Thanks for the video.i ain't ever put up wire fence but am in the process and need help learning how to tighten the wire. I appreciate it man, more than you know.ill be trying your ways.
These commetd are so mean. I enjoyed the video for what's it's worth. Please keep posting.
Agreed
I would fasten one end of the fence to a post and at the other end I would nail the fence to a 2x4 at every square and then wrap a rope around the fence/2x4 and pull it with a tractor or truck, it pulls the whole fence equally and it stays even and holds it tight.. no pulling or stretching the fence at every post, just fasten it.. job done
Thank you
This is the best video I have seen so far on this topic. Thank you very much.
With the music in the beginning and and all, I felt like I was getting ready to watch a movie LOL. Great tips
Kneepads are a godsend. Get em. :) Also pound the fence post another 1 inch further once you get the lower clamp on.
Thats good advice.
those clips just need a screwdriver run through the loop between the wire and the clip then spin over one turn and simple pliers on the other side
you pulled the t post to the right to get the top wired on. do you hammer the post straight or leave it at a slant? thanks, for sharing.
Our gates are just like that. I never think of fixing them when I have time.
Good info.
thread a 2x2 (or 1" pipe) through the net fence and pull on it so you don't break the wire.
Thank you for your video!! I am putting up a field fence for our calfs,cow and gots. First timer!!
They make a tool called a clip bender that is so easy to use and will save you time in the future.
what stretcher did you use? dont see it listed in your description
I’ve been struggling all day. Trying to stretch a 90’ run and just pull the end. Wasn’t working. Thanks for this!!!!!
came to learn about fence stayed for the music!
Great video please help this guy out and like his post so he can get rid of that ford and buy a Chevy😂
I used to live on a 750 acre farm back when I was just a kid. That before I joined the army
hey at least he has a proper pair of fence pliers!
I have put up field fence on wood posts and will be waving t-posts for about 350 feet. I like your method. What are you using for corners and how are you bracing the corners?
Our corners on this section are temporary, we plan to add more. So I didn’t have a good example. Normally I will use the tractor auger and drive wood posts in and create cross bracing between the posts (like an H on each side of the corner) that will hold it tight and give you a good base to stretch from. If your land is flat you can weave a post at one end and stretch both top and bottom at once. I stretch the bottom and then stretch up to roll it snug with the hills and easily maneuver in the woods.
I have never seen it done this way.
"....different people have different tactics,... there is a mole......" LOL! Too funny!
Good video!
Good corners are the key to a lasting fence... we drill 2 holes 8 feet apart and 3 feet deep set 2”3/8 steel pipe in concrete in the holes then weld in the brace. You attach the wire to the steel post on the back post.
That sounds longer lasting than. Wood bracing, what thickness is your steel pipe?
@@YanasaTV 2 3/8 is obviously old drill stem.
Not drill stem but the actual pipe that oil flows through from the wells... you can buy used drill stem but that would be major over kill
Thanks for the tip James!
A few close ups on the method work of using the clips would have been great.
But thanks for teaching us.
I'm hoping to install fencing with just horizon lines of wire.
Looks like tough work.
I want the gloves also
Do you just leave all the posts tilted to the side like that?
Could you add to the description the winch you used? Thnx
you need a wire dog...it is a small friction clamp that attaches to the wire end of your come along...about $10...good job
right on brotha🐔✌
Will this work on hilly ground or will you still end up with gaps at the bottom?
Awesome video! Made it very easy to understand. The power puller makes it much easier & great idea pulling from the bottom. Thanks.
Thank you, now I know how to do the fencing. I should be in the country in a year.
You really don't if you watched this.
you should come to Aussie and learn how to fence
Hi, will this work on welded wire?
Fantastic video and thank you for the links to what you were using. Curious - would 8ft T-posts would be necessary for horse fencing? Trying to put wire all the way to the ground to also keep dogs in so thinking we may need to go with 60in wire. Appreciate any advice!
Nice!
Great video, thanks so much!
That wasn't a mole... looked like a shrew , good video though
when to use t vs u post?
Thanks for all the great information,!
Question. If I run metal siding along the bottom 2 feet, will blocking the view help keep animals from digging in? Thinking about putting that up after I install my fence.
What works for my two big dog extreme diggers is getting a six ft tall fence and leaving six inches folded over toward the inside at the bottom. They can't figure out how to dig under the fence enough to get out. Just wire it right to the bottom.
How many posts did you attach to before you started stretching? I’ve never done it myself but we only have wood posts so I’m not familiar at all with using t-posts.
We attached 2 T-Posts and then started stretching.
@@YanasaTV I think I have the same question, so I think this is the answer. When you're pulling on the come along to tighten the fence, what's the other end of the fence tied to? Is it the two t posts you mentioned? So one end of the fence on the starting post, then clip the fence to a second post, and pull on the other end?
Hi, I have a question is the fence temp. You are separating the young ones from the rest. Why is that wouldn't they be protected by the others? I am sorry I don't know about taking care of large animals. You're doing a good job. Loved the video. Wish I could help!
No, we are separating them from the horses. The fence is a portion of a larger pasture layout that we will complete over the long term. To be able to coordinate field separation and rotation.
they eventually have to be weaned and the cows rebred
Thank you for answering my questions. You guys are the best. Be safe.
With your coyote problem try snares. You can buy then pre made or all the materials for 160+ of them for $120. Professional critter trappers put their snare right in holes in the fence. You can put foot holds around the area as well. Coyotes are a pain but that might be my bread and butter if this thing goes to hell.
Or just hunt them down. Much more fun that way.
Clever with the winch. Nice job.
Do a closeup when putting clips on
i can fix that.......later had me dying
I have to put my posts 4-6 feet apart bc my ground is so sandy. Some places I have them 2-3 feet apart. In some spots I’ve went to put a 6 foot T post in the ground and already have it 2 foot down with one or 2 hits bc it’s so soft.
You can do this fencing without a single tool besides a pile driver spare wire and a two and a half inch metal pipe or Wood pole an a C and a Ute
I like that coat what is the brand name?❤John 3:16❤
There is a… mole haha
Never tie your tape as you would a rope, it is a measuring device to ensure your post line up evenly. I will use a piece of strong par-cord to tie the end of the tape to a post never tie a tape like a common rope. Your distance was off about 8 inches which may not seem like much but it adds up on a long course if repeated over and over. At the end of four setups you will have a error of about 32 inches close to 3 feet of error. I am not bashing you just showing you a better way.
We appreciate the tip!
Oh god what did I just watch
"There is a Mole"
My sister's got moles....
empty the bag into your pocket...
You need a lesson on fence building
If it works, it aint wrong.
Just wait til you see my fence job; you know what, I might just do a palisade wall.
what a mess
Your "stretch" is comically loose. This is nowhere close to tight.
With good wire and a proper stretch 24 foot post spacing would be better.
If it aint tight it ain't right. And this aint tight.
Jacob Mader 24 feet huh? Maybe for rabbits?
It takes good high tensile wire, such as tornado, good metal braces.
much, much more stretch, like 2 i use a 3 ton hoist to strain feild fence. Or pull with a medium frame tractor till it spins out it takes serious power to strain good fence right. When its tight half the crimp should be stretched out. Once its tied off you can climb it between post.
Also if you have snow load post need to be closer together too, like. 20 feet
Low tensile fence shouldn’t go 24 ft between posts, for low tensile I wouldn’t go more the 12 with a wood post every 5th post
He does not mind you leaving your comments, he learns from comments. LoL... I'm new to all this, so I should do something like 3' between posts.
@@nicholaijerome7583
No you can do it right find the stony ridge farmer fencing videos and learn from the best...
Smh
That fence won’t keep coyotes out to short they will jump right over it no problem
SQUIRREL
Any fence that works is a good fence, having said that, you did not watch redbrands videos......it could be done much better, what you have is actually dangerous because a animal can become trapped in loose fence. That fence should almost sing like a guitar string when stretched out.
Go watch redbrands fence videos....all of them.....no doubt what you have done works.....but it could be much better.
All I can say is may the Lord bless you find a new job
I do not know what to say 😂
When he pushed the rolls instead of driving them down there, I lost interest
stretch with tractor or truck way funnier
You separate the calves from their mothers?!! 😢
I would have mowed the grass along the full fence line ! You're just making things hard on your self , by not mowing !
This is how not to do fencing
The video is great, this kind of tool is still very practical, not long ago, I bought a renhotecic brand pliers, it is very convenient to use, it works very well. Everyone can use a tool
