This is so helpful. My kids' riding coach passed away last week and gifted my daughter her beloved old lesson pony. My husband is away for work, so I have to install fencing myself so we can bring this pony home (and find him a friend). Thank you for this.
So I'm a homesteader but work for a large fire department as a hazmat specialist. We do alot of grounding and bonding when we drill and pump off overturned tractor trailers etc. don't hesitate to build a "trench" and lay your rods horizontal, about a foot deep. You're results will be just as good, and you may avoid your rock layer!
this tutorial helped me to stop a very real impending panic about installing our fence. Thank you! I watched a few parts over and over again to really memorize it. I feel so prepared!!
I like your music choice and thanks for being such a supportive dad and husband of horsey gals! Was looking how to hook up my tape properly since the last owner did it poorly a,d this was great! Subscribed!
Great video my friend. I bought the 10 mile one for my 2 acres lol and it works great neighborhood dogs do not want no part of my yard no more. Quick tip for anybody that needs to move their ground rod a pair of vise grips, a 2 x 4, rope. What you’re going to do is a seesaw affect. Hook your vice grips to your ground rod, tie the rope around the vice grip and to your 2 x 4 put the 2 x 4 on a log or something off the ground and pull it out doing the seesaw maneuver. Hard to explain texting, but comes out very easy. You folks testing it out on yourselves, one may feel it different from the other because of your shoes. If you had your shoes off, your hair would stand up lol or your shoes wet gives you a bigger shock. Also to make your system last longer, take some clear silicone and run it where the solar panel meets the rim or frame of the plastic surrounding it, rain likes to get into the system and it just helps Keep it dry inside. Peace and God bless.
Damn, I’m jealous of that ground…I’ve built almost 2000’ of feet of barbed wire and field fence on our property in north Texas clay, and I can tell you that T posts don’t go in nearly that easy here. Be happy about that! 😂😂😂
My husband has been ill, so I find myself doing everything on our farm solo. I love to Macgyver projects, but with the electric fencing, I really want to do it right the first time. Thanks to your comprehensive video, I ordered exactly what I need, and I feel very confident that I can install and move fencing from time to time, so the ponies will be away from the apple orchard during the apple drop months. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I’m bringing my horses home to my first home and doing everything myself as far as setting up for my horses. This tutorial really helped me.
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. Including the note fixing the ribbon holder. We got ours up yesterday (much shorter) and it’s keeping the horses out of the chicken area for sure. Thanks for such a detailed video. Always learning.
Extremely good video. Explained what he is doing and why. Video was clear with no dark or missing steps. I haven't seen a good video (😞 and I have viewed many) that can compete with this one.
You can dig a 8 foot x 1 foot ditch and lay the rod in. It is not the depth of the rod, it is the amount of rod in the ground. In underground utility construction we always laid or rods in horizontal. We basically just put them in the ditch.
I’ve used American Farmworks solar chargers several times and I promise you, spend the extra money and go with a Gallagher charger. Much much less headache and they aren’t nearly as temperamental to ground like the AF chargers. The Gallaghers are also way easier to replace the battery when they get old.
Great family time theater, looks like you had fun. Please eliminate the slack on the black ground wire runs, otherwise, it will be a tripping hazard. While you are at it please remove the slack from the charger to the first ground rod for the same reason. On those exposed ground rod ends consider slipping a section of PVC pipe with a cap on it to cover the exposed rod end just like you should cover the top of the T- Post. There are T-Post Caps/Poly Tape Mounts available for your top tape. Yes, I have seen animals impaled on un-capped T-post ends, not pretty. Great video, you were under the watchful eye of a great working dog. He was always on guard.
Loving the video, super good presentation of the process. But at 8:49 how is that an 8 foot post? The panels would have to be 7 feet then, but in the next scene the 5 foot post is the same height as the panel.
Good catch! Not sure why I said 8 footers. The taller ones are actually 6 foot tee posts. I never realized I made that mistake saying they were 8 footers until now. Thanks for watching and catching that.
How long will the post stand straight and your wire not sag to where you need new wire? On packaging it says temporary but can I use it for my horse whose fence is already basically down and she still doesn’t leave?
Tractor Supply. Here is the description for an online search: American FarmWorks 50 ft. Insultube for Up to 12-1/2 Gauge Class III Galvanized Wire, Insulation Rated up to 20,000V. Not sure why the link is not working for you. I just tested it and it went right to this item,
Just a thought … none of the metal panels are needed to make an electric horse enclosure. It’s rather over kill, especially for these docile horses. I grew up with a dad that ran thousands of cows on electric part of the year in Nebraska where the snow can drift.
You guys were grounded when you touched it. For a real good time, take your shoes off and touch them touch the wire.... #askmehowIknow Don't actually do it though. I felt it in my brain.
I do not have any experience with the poly wire, but I did choose tape over the wire as just because of personal preference for how it looks. I like the 2 inch wider tape because it is more visible than the poly wire. I would use the electrified poly wire or any other less obtrusive electrified wire though along the top of an existing non-electrified wire or wood fence to keep the horses from leaning over and damaging the fence.
yes, I agree. I have had a few I have needed to replace over the last 2 years... but it hasn't been that bad, and we get a lot of sun that would make them brittle. Sorry they haven't worked out that well for you.
American Farm Works. I think it may be a Tractor Supply Company exclusive brand. Here is a link to it: www.pjtra.com/t/TUJGRU1GSEJHSkZHSkxCRkhMRUxM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tractorsupply.com%2Ftsc%2Fproduct%2Famerican-farmworks-5-mile-solar-fence-energizer-esp5mn-afw
Absolutely, depending on how large your yard or field is. If you have an existing fence up and want to add electric to it, super easy and no time at all. I have a split rail fence and I put up my wire around an acre in about 3 hours or less
Nice demonstration, but the music in the background is entirely unnecessary. Viewers of this kind of video want information and instruction. Thanks for sharing your experience.

One of the better videos I've watched about electric fencing installation, thanks for putting this up

very helpful video, thank you...the longer you touch the ribbon the more the current flows through you.
I had to watch this about a dozen times but I have an electric fence! Thanks so much for posting such an informative video!

This video was awesome. I followed it step by steps and feel so accomplished. Thank you for sharing!!! So helpful
Happy to hear it helped you complete your project. Thanks for watching.

Really well-presented. Your property looks great..
Great video! Very helpful for a first-time polytape fence installer! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I can tell you're a detail oriented kind of guy. Thanks for a wonderful, instructive video. I can do this!
This video was by far the most informative. Thank you so much for sharing
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am a visual learner and the written instructions were not clicking with me.
You can dig a 8 foot x 1 foot ditch and lay the rod in. It is not the depth of the rod, it is the amount of rod in the ground. In underground utility construction we always laid or rods in horizontal. We basically just put them in the ditch.
This video was perfect!! I had no idea what I was doing but was able to get my electric fence fairly quickly and easily. Thank you!!

yep bet that FarmWorks didnt work 2 weeks for him>
Thank you for this. I set up a system similar to this but it hasn't been working at it's full capacity. I now understand why.
This video has been a HUGE help! Thanks for sharing!
I can assure you, nothing went faster when I helped my dad.
Great family time theater, looks like you had fun.
Please eliminate the slack on the black ground wire runs, otherwise, it will be a tripping hazard.

@@FromScratchRanch That makes sense! Thanks for a very helpful video and your fun family :~)
How long will the post stand straight and your wire not sag to where you need new wire? On packaging it says temporary but can I use it for my horse whose fence is already basically down and she still doesn’t leave?
GOOD job !!! , Thank you so much for sharing video , How long did it take you and your daughter to finish fencing installation ?
Hi, enjoy watching all of your videos. How did the electrical tape work out for you. Thanks
Very helpful. Do you need all three poly tapes to be electrified?
I have one of these and the controller LED flashes but is not putting out voltage. I can put the tester on the terminals and get nothing.
I am doing this for the first time and in the store the 5’ t posts look short. Have you had any issues with the height of the fence with the horses?
I do not have metal panels but would like to make a gate- how do you do this with this style tape?
Great info, thanks.
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Where did you find the 12.5 gauge wire with wire already ran through the cover the one you linked is wrong
Tractor Supply. Here is the description for an online search: American FarmWorks 50 ft. Insultube for Up to 12-1/2 Gauge Class III Galvanized Wire, Insulation Rated up to 20,000V. Not sure why the link is not working for you. I just tested it and it went right to this item,
How do you continue the circuit when you have more than 1 gate?
Just a thought … none of the metal panels are needed to make an electric horse enclosure. It’s rather over kill, especially for these docile horses. I grew up with a dad that ran thousands of cows on electric part of the year in Nebraska where the snow can drift.
How many Tpost did you wind up using ?? Thank you for sharing !!
Perfect!!!
LMAO!!!! Love the ending!
shouldn't you twist the tape so it doesn't have much push from wind? I've heard of these saggy from several others
I wouldnt dream to touch my electirc fence. Last time i accidentally touched it i couldnt feel my arm for half an hour lol.
You guys were grounded when you touched it. For a real good time, take your shoes off and touch them touch the wire.... #askmehowIknow Don't actually do it though. I felt it in my brain.
Which is better the poly wire or poly tape?
I do not have any experience with the poly wire, but I did choose tape over the wire as just because of personal preference for how it looks. I like the 2 inch wider tape because it is more visible than the poly wire. I would use the electrified poly wire or any other less obtrusive electrified wire though along the top of an existing non-electrified wire or wood fence to keep the horses from leaning over and damaging the fence.
@FromScratchRanch ok I like how the tape looks too but I'm wondering how it'd be able to repair I don't think I'd be able to splice it
I used those yellow insulator and they lasted a little less than 1 yr. They get brittle and break. I wish they lasted at least 3 to 4 yrs.
yes, I agree. I have had a few I have needed to replace over the last 2 years... but it hasn't been that bad, and we get a lot of sun that would make them brittle. Sorry they haven't worked out that well for you.
Hello what is the brand of the solar charging system? Thanks!
American Farm Works. I think it may be a Tractor Supply Company exclusive brand. Here is a link to it: www.pjtra.com/t/TUJGRU1GSEJHSkZHSkxCRkhMRUxM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tractorsupply.com%2Ftsc%2Fproduct%2Famerican-farmworks-5-mile-solar-fence-energizer-esp5mn-afw
How many joules?
Do the insulators hold up in the sun ?
Did you do this in one day?
Absolutely, depending on how large your yard or field is. If you have an existing fence up and want to add electric to it, super easy and no time at all. I have a split rail fence and I put up my wire around an acre in about 3 hours or less
cut the 8 foot grounding rod shorter with a cutting wheel..
Nice demonstration, but the music in the background is entirely unnecessary. Viewers of this kind of video want information and instruction. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I thought something was wrong with me. The music😢😢😢. Cringe. Otherwise excellent.

It’s just you. I didn’t mind it. If the man wants music he can add music.
