What if you have less than a 90 degree turn?
You can be off a few degrees, but anything past that puts stress on the connection point of the brace. It will make the connection/ brace less solid.
Might work on chicken wire but not high tensile dense.
My dog kept looking for the chickens...
🤣 It’s impossible to do anything without them interrupting. I feel it provides an authentic , cinematic experience😁
I’m so happy to run across this video because I’m looking for exactly what you posted here and I will be going to tractor supply to find these if I can. I’ll order them online but thank you very much.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
For light fence these might be ok but for a real fence a waste.
Got it! You totally ROCK 🪨
Thank you others posting are fools on koolaid and flotation.
If you put goats in this enclosure, don't expect them to be there when you come back tomorrow...
Too bad they loose the pretty patterns of yellow with black dots as they grow wish they stayed small like that has to be one of my favorite turtles
You rock! Thank you.
nice.
How many gallons was that tank?
I believe it’s 125 gallon.
@@thebriarpatch5105 awesome thank you
Do the wedge lock assembly come apart easily?? The fence we are installing is going to be temporary.
They do. From my experience, I was able to dismantle by hand. If not, a hammer and a tap on a flat head screw driver would make quick work!
Boom! Thx
I tried these several times and did not have good luck with them. They were flimsy and inferior to a regular H brace.
You just saved me $150. Thank you🙏 this will be perfect for Cornish Cross who are too fat to jump on top.
This system is a joke. Don't be lazy. Do it right!
Hi , how do you make a horizontal grid by using t post . What kind of connectors can be used? Please help!
Great job. I don't have the money for all that nonesense.
Excellent video!
I'm with @livingthedreamag 👌
Best instructional video on the internet. Good Job!
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Awwww
Thanks for the lesson. I’ll be using my wedge loc system tomorrow 👍
Great explanation! Clear, simple & all the necessary information. Many thanks!
Quite welcome! Thanks for watching!
Im going to try welding a 3/8" metal dowel on both ends of the brace posts. 6" of scrap rebar would work. Just drill a hole in the back web of the vertical post to receive the dowel.
Used 3/16 galvanized cable with a turnbuckle for tension adjustment, worked great for temporary fencing. Spaced posts 10ft apart so this technique wouldn't work.
Thanks for the vid. I saw these and was wondering how to install them. My only suggestion would be to put the bottom one as low as possible and then set the top one based on that. It would be much stronger that way since the off-corner post wouldn't have as much ability to flex.
Hey man. Good video. It looks easy. I bought some and am going to put 10 foot T posts in to accommodate 8 foot forged steel braided fencing I got free from a game preserve. It's going to be sturdy. I'm a little confused since I haven't broken open the packages to look at the hardware yet. I'm just having trouble picturing if it's an issue not putting the studs outward since I'm trying to deter deers mainly and have been told to face them outward if I'm trying to keep stuff out rather than in. Giant kitchen garden I'm refencing because cedar posts finally rotted out after 10 years. Figured I'd make something that will last longer. I have Icelandic chickens that can fly over 7 foot fences easily so going to put two feet roll of chicken wire fence at the top of the 8 foot fencing to deter them and make racoons fall backwards lol
If you need it to be more sturdy you can use the horizontal brace but you will need to cut the post to size
Thanks for the demo. I noticed that when you tested the setup, you pulled against the corner post towards the other post. Very impressive. Yet I did not see you PUSH against the corner post, away from the other post. When I tried that, my diagonal post simply fell out of the brackets. Did I do something wrong, or is this a design defect?
No, that’s correct. The tension from the fence when applied to the outside of that center will hold those in place.
@@thebriarpatch5105 Okaaay. And when a gate is the only thing on one side of the vertical post? The weight of the gate is PULLING on the vertical post where the diagonal meets it, not PUSHING.
Maybe this works for you, but there are way better solutions. By week 3, my chicks were already jumping on top of the waterer and pooping into it. Nothing would change with this solution. You'd still have birds flying on the top of the bucket and pooping into the water. The only thing you've changed is the amount of water they can poop into. The best solution is to use the chicken nipples. You can go with the simple solution and just stick them on a 5 gallon bucket or you can get fancy and hook up a 55 gallon drum to pvc pipe and put the nipples on the pvc pipe. Either way: * you never have to worry about poop or bedding or dirt of any kind EVER getting into the water * you don't have to worry about water freezing Regarding water freezing, all you have to do is put a poultry heater in the bucket that's controlled by a thermostat outlet. It turns on when it drops below freezing and turns off when maybe it's 34F. You can actually take a 2 week vacation with my method. With yours, by day two, you'll be asking yourself, "Is the water really that dirty? I think it can last another day!!!"
She won't forget that, when those eggs hatch..... She's going to chase you down.😂😅😂😅😮
No kidding. I thought turtles were supposed to be slow.
Soft shells are lightning fast! In the water and on land… kinda crazy!
Lil bro hit the boosters!
Why can’t you have to lid side on the top and drill a hole in the bottom of the bucket?
The lid is not air tight. The draw from the water would pull air through the lids seam and all of the water would run out. Putting the lid on the bottom creates and air tight seal.. at least for the type of lid I used.
Using these steel rods vs wooden post is there a significant difference in time before they rot? I want the longest lasting fence i can have so i don't have to do this over years to come.
Steel t posts will typically outlast your wooden posts. It would also depend on what your fencing in or out? Smaller livestock… I would use these all day long. If I was fencing in cattle… I would set my corners with rr ties or treated posts, or even welded corners.
Any suggestions on a gate? I’m wanting to fence in my chickens (they’re destroying my yard) so I bought 10 T-posts. I can buy the wedge-loc for the corners (not that chickens will be causing problems) but I need a way in to gather eggs and feed/water them.
Wedge Loc actually makes a connector for gates that attaches to T Posts as well. I found mine on Animalhealthexpress.com. Not really a fan of that option. I had to grind down the connecting pieces to get the gate to be able to swing wide. They work… just required some extra steps. . If you search T Post gate connectors, there are several options available.
@@thebriarpatch5105 thank you!
Wrap the fence around a corner post enough to reach the 1st post around the corner. Then use the end wires and wire it to the post. So your gate would be from the corner to your first post
Great video! Good instruction and no B.S. 👍
Glad it helped
I used one of these for a while. My chickens kept getting on top of the bucket and pooping into their water. I also realized that my bowl held 3 gallons of water and I was getting maybe 4 in the bucket after the holes were drilled so now I just use the bowl.
THANKS for sharing the wedge loc install!! I'm going to use this because it's easy up & easy take down.👏
Nice job -clean simple explanation..thanks...I'll give a like and subscribe right now, and I really don't get 54K views and and only 941 likes..looked like an excellent way to fence without spending a fortune...
This is awesome, thank you! We're about to do our goat fencing.
Thank you!
With the price of the T posts 5 per corner is just too much. Just use 3 wood posts like back in the day.
Subscribed. YT suggested this video and we are putting up field fencing with corner braces and a couple gates. This will be a great reference for using the Wedge Lock system. Thank you, Nick
Awesome! Thank you!
cement would do....
No it wouldn’t
wouldn't it be easier to just put the bucket in with the lid on top so you don't have to flip it each time?
It would, but if the seal on your lid isn’t airtight, the vacuum won’t work. It will hold for a while, but those lids are pretty flimsy and will eventually break seal.
This is the democratic version! The conservative version is the way you said, it's simpler, more logical and just plain easier! I agree with you!
@@bubbakemp5817 what is wrong with you? It’s a chicken video not a political video ( I am 100% Republican voter by the way )
@@jaebornemeier3891 Exhausting, isn't it?
I can confirm these things are awesome and the corners do not have to be 100% perfect 90 degrees i just eyeballed everything and it work fine. Once you figure out how they go together its actually very simple
What's the best method to making sure tposts are at 90 degrees?
I used a carpenters square at the base of my center post just to get a basic line. There’s mention of tension issues in some of the comments if not square. It doesn’t have to be perfect… I used a tractor to tension my line, I have 8 of these installed… all have held accordingly.
@@thebriarpatch5105 thanks for the reply! Working on a fence this week. Merry Christmas!
way easier than dead manning thanks brother
Absolutely! Glad to help!
