on your spring gates, i try to take a short length of lite weight chain and use that as a gate extension. where i am coming off of the fixed side. i use a metal bolt instead of plastic pegs insultors. i can adjust tension by shortening a link really easy as the gate streatches. tehn on both sides of the spring, in the coil. i place a alunimin crimp. to keep the spring from unrolling. my spring gates last years of daily use. then you add pvc tape to teh handle and spring. you can see from a distance if the gate is closed or not, cows dont get pushed into it either.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been thinking of getting some of the rope for my place. I have some of those handles and a different handle too. I really like those handles the best. The lake looks great, maybe you want to bring up to my place 😂! You always deliver the best information to us UA-camrs. Joel is such a nice young man.
Electrical tape is okay, but have you tried liquid electrical tape? It doesn't get sticky or gummy and it holds up so well outside or inside. I've fixed many phone cords, headset cords, random electrical cords, and I've even used some of it above and below electrical shrink wrap for added insulation and stability.
Hey Greg, I like the way your tying off your poly rope. The only thing I’m doing different is I’m taking the soft galvanized wire and wrapping a hangman noose around the rope ends as a binder. What do you think is that overkill? I’m just trying to secure the rope plus get a good contact for the current Flo through.
Thanks for the great videos Greg. I didn’t see those crimpers in the power flex web site. Do you know what the specific model number they are. Nicopress model#? Thanks again!
Yes, I suspect Joel's parents deserve some credit. His Dad especially taught him the value of a sharp knife...and a box of band-aids. My finger healed nicely, but he might still be emotionally scarred.
Love these reels, but I recommend not getting the longest poly wire offered. If the poly wire gets loose and slides over the sides of the reel, you got a real mess on your hands. In my opinion, it’s better to have multiple reels with less poly wire than a single reel with the maximum length of poly wire.

These tutorials are great! Thank you Greg and Joel
That's one great looking gate loop/knot at your fiberglass post!

I love fencing videos
Good Morning.
Electrical tape is okay, but have you tried liquid electrical tape? It doesn't get sticky or gummy and it holds up so well outside or inside.

I’m going to check that out! Thanks for the tip Lee.

I believe that is a half hitch knot, not a square knot
You may be right. I know it holds well and does not come un-done.
Hey Greg where do you find those gate handles? I’ve been using Zimmer handles and springs, but they get stretched to far and bend sometimes
