Hey Tim/Ted - learnt a new trick that might help you out when removing the strainer boards - when straining to a box assembly, instead of straining immediately in front of the box assembly, put the strainer board in the first bay behind the box assembly with the chain coming back to the connecting post of the assembly (instead of the termination post). The diagonal wire brace will hold the strain while you muck around terminating the wire without having strainers or chains in the way, and then when you drop the board there’s nothing for it to catch on/hold it up when you take it off. Obviously you loose a tiny bit more of your strain being further back from your termination so I wouldn’t do it for any strains under say 20m, but for longer strains the loss is minimal. Hope it helps 👍
I always do that, but I am naughty and put one staple tight over/behind every last horizontal/vertical wire joint at the corner post - to keep it permanently tight. Then I cut off the horizontal wires, and after removing all vertical wires/joints - I secure it around the post with Waratah T-clips. 😄
Been hanging for this video. Absolutely love Ted’s work, almost like my twin brother but I’d obviously be the quiet one. I do everything exactly the same except I hang/suspend my equine mesh off of 4 plain wires and ring fasten it so no need for post staples. Already have the boundary strainers yet to get the strainer board, but will be soon
On the matter of ants and ticks. before you go out into the paddock, pull the cuffs of ya trousers up and spray insect repellent on the tops of ya boots and ya socks, put ya trousers back down and spray the cuffs of ya trousers. For extra insurance spray around the top of ya trousers. That is enough for flat country if ya in the scrub, spray around ya kneck, the top of ya hat and around the cuffs of ya shirt.

Good morning, Tim, definitely a two-coffee watch. Brilliant fencing tutorial. Cheers

Great vid boys
Great idea for fencing 😎
Need to get Ted out for a quote for a boundary fence at my place. 😂
