Here in Australia in this situation we would put in a skirt. Build your fence as close to level as you can. When you get to the collveit run a heavy wire between your two posts then attach chicken netting with wire rings to the wire, something heavy attached to the bottom I use gal pipe to hold it down. Animals won’t get out, but in big rains allowing it to raise up letting debris flow through without pushing your fence over 👍🏻 if in a big rain if something takes out your skirt you only have to fix that not your whole fence.
Evan, When you were attempting to pull the fence down by standing on it, if you had previously driven a screw in the post at the lowest level you wanted, with Rebecca's assistance you could have secured the fence at the required level before you stapled the fence to the post. Hope this helps, Cheers Robin.
That's a mighty fine looking fence line, Good job!!! I love the idea of the boss post, it's doing exactly what his name says...Being the BOSS!!! Thanks Evan, you're doing great!!! Peace!!! Bill
An option also is to tension the fence off something past the end post. Something heavy like a truck, tractor or maybe a side by side using the electric winch
He don't listen to those who have erected hundreds of fences. There was a number of followers that told him the same thing you did the last time he stretched a run of fence.
@Angel because we subscribe and are faithful. Just because we dislike the way someone is doing something doesn’t mean we will just abandon someone. It’s called a option or Suggestion. Not a dislike
Evan, I really enjoy your channel thank you for reminding a down to earth genuine homestead channel. I'm getting tired of the other homesteaders that have to mention the name and model number of the products they use every other sentence. They are becoming a big infomercial and not enjoyable to watch.
Always take your tractor and park it 6 ft past your last end post, secure your come along to the tractor then tighten fence. Put in staples on your end post (both ends) then take tractor with forks and pull fence down at your high spots.
I am a 58 yr old female and just bought 12 acres in Saskatchewan. I am overwhelmed in regard to fencing my property and just got a 12,000.00 quote for perimeter fencing... I guess I'm doing it myself ! Thanks for making this video...
Fantastic job. The fence really looks good and sturdy. The animals will have plenty of space to roam. Love watching your videos and see the improvement on your property. You both are blessed. Be safe, healthy and God bless you both.
Nothing but admiration for you and Rebbeca. Doin all that work in between full time jobs. You must have 30 to 40 hours per day their man. Love watching all your struggles and successes
Well Evan, I don’t have any advice or suggestions for you. I think you do a good job, and your working with Rebecca, you guys make the A team. Merry Christmas to you and Rebecca. 🎄
I think your idea of running a barb wire below the actual woven wire is a fantastic idea, one - which I have not come across yet. It will discourage animals digging in, or dogs digging out. Like you, I have undulating country, and will have to block off some small dips, to keep my dogs at home. Thank you for your patience and kindness - in passing on your experience.
you should have tightened up your wire on your corner post first , stick a claw hammer with a long handle half way between the 2 post and give it 10 turns or so , you can feel when it is tight enough and when it is tightened remove hammer , and when you are stapling the wire in the low area put a staple sideways on the bottom of your post than you can push the wire down and hold it in place keeping your hands free , one last thing in the low laying areas find some big rocks and tie the rocks with a number 9 wire and wrap the #9 wire to your post in the low laying area and also add a couple of rocks between the posts to kee the wire from lifting in time hope this is helpful in future fencing projects .
Very nice looking fence. I learned a lot off your last two fence videos. Will be helping my father in law put up some new fence on the farm and I’m going to steal some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing Evan👍🏻👍🏻
Evan,if you and Rebecca are happy with your fence ,that’s all that matters. I did hear you say you are happy with it. I am proud that you try to do a nice looking job in everything you do. Some day I will read about your beautiful homestead in my Southern Living magazine.God bless you and your family ,and remember the reason for the season.
I feel your pain about what's buried on the old farm. We recently found the old dump on our farm that dates to 1865. Its a mess! Cans and bottles nearly three feet deep and about 50 long over an embankment. People take for granted our modern trash disposal services. In the old days there was no way to get rid of stuff except to make a pile and try to burn it. Things are looking good on your farm. Merry Christmas from Dalmatian Hills farm!
I would put a horizontal swinging gate in front of the culvert. When you have heavy rains, the rushing water won't take out your fence. You can add woven wire to the gaps at the bottom of your fence or use hog panels trimmed to the contour of the gaps.
👏 👏 Hahaha, Okay Rebekah you can hang out there for a little while. 🤣🤣 You guys make me laugh at times. 👍 That's quite the fence. Nice. Thanks for sharing this with us. You folks be blessed and have a good day. 🙏☝️👍
Too late , we notched 2 2/4s x 4'long set on 9ga. bottom wire, stood on same while applying staples. This held fence in place with less effort. good job
Another alternative is to stretch the fence, get it down vertically as far as you can, the fill the gap underneath with a cattle panel cut to fit. Thats what we do in our mountainous terrain. The spring wire clips need to be clamped down onto the fence too. An enterprising goat can get a horn under it and pull the clip off
Just a suggestion, that block screwed on for footing, should be put on across ways, and in wet areas we used wider ones and pegged, each side, dig out recess at bottom of your hole to take the footing, this also gives more holding power. on shallower dips, we use steel picket, [waratah] we call them, 5 foot 6 in length, cut in half, drive in [10lb hammer] at 45% angle, just under dirt, with8 inch length S/S wire, in top hole, staple to bottom post bend over, then another staple. also look up ,Strainrite chain wire strainers, much better than those come alongs, nice stock proof fence,
good job Evan and Rebekah. you may fill in that gap at the bottom with a short run of barbed wire below the one you already ran and some soft wire to space the 2 strands apart
You got the tension on that fence just prefect Evan. That showed when you tried to pull it down at the boss posts. Any tighter you wouldn’t have made it. Also don’t think about messing up on video, we all feel for you when something doesn’t go as planned. like changing that first roll of baler wire. 😂🏴🙏🏼
Exciting to see you getting the new pasture fenced in. That means your getting closer to getting in some beef cattle and I’ve been looking forward to watching and learning from your journey in raising the larger livestock.
This was great! because, I have some dips that are maybe a foot and a half drop. I was told by people that I have tried to hire to help me finish that the fence would bust if I tried to do the same thing you are doing. Great Job!
You are going to have a very nice pasture area once you finish. Congratulations!! Thanks for working so hard to get projects filmed while completing them. I certainly appreciate and enjoy watching. Rebecca and Evan, Merry Christmas to you and your family, may the Lord bless and keep you safe in the coming year.
I used to build fence out in Idaho and Montana Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. Tough hand digging with blue bar and shovels but some similar methods. Thanks for sharing! Great job
Evan, let me see if I can help you get a better job done on your fencing project.. First when you backfill around the wooden posts, keep the dirt down 5-6 inches. When you tie your bottom wire you will have room to work. On your stretcher you have 3 places to pull from. You are choosing to use 2 come-alongs to pull with. Try one come-along in the center position. Next put your stretcher outside the fence, not between the post and the wire . Lastly when you are finishing tying the single strands, you cut the stub end with cutters. That works, but it leaves the tag end sticking up and you can cut you and the animals if they rub against it. There is a way to twist the tag end with little effort that breaks the wire so it doesn't stick out and cannot cut you. Stoney Ridge Farmer has demonstrated the movements to tie it several times in his videos. When the bottom wires are finished, then backfill the last few inches or dirt. Keep up the great work, I am amazed at how fast you are learning what alot of us grew up doing. My fondest memory is being barefoot when I was mucking out the barns.
Hi.... Evan nice to see you, great and amazing fencing, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🎥👍👍👍
That's a nice looking fence! I don't know why I like watching fencing videos cause I've certainly done enough of it personally, but it's just a satisfying job when its done.
Your fence looks really good. We are nearing the end of putting 660' of fence around the backyard area of our two acre lot; we have a sharp incline at the end, so I was looking for a video that showed stretching the fence down to the bottom of the post, just like you did with your boss posts; that was a great visual to let me know how to do mine. With regards to running out of come-along, I saw a video put out by a fencing manufacturer that said to start by coming 5' off of your end post, then add 1' for every 100' of fencing being stretched; that should allow you to fully stretch without running out of come-along wire. Great videos; thank you for creating them.
I'm very impressed, Evan. I just keep thinking back to the very first holes you and Rebekah drilled with that hand held auger 😂 What a far way you have come! Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🦌
When you said you were fencing through a low area I had to see it. On our last farm we had to fence across two ravines that were about a hundred feet deep and three hundred feet across. They were so steep you couldn't get a four wheeler out of them. Glad you don't have to do anything like that. Your fence is looking good 👍😊
Very nice job. Thanks for producing the video. Just a couple of suggestions for consideration. You mentioned that the holes holding the wooden fence posts had water in them. Given that, consider putting in about 6" of gravel at the bottom of the holes to allow for the water to drain. Otherwise the posts will rot much quicker than need be. Also, in those areas were there was a depression around the bottom of a T Post, you could cut a foot or so off a metal cattle panel at the proper width to cover the depression, and then cut a T Post to insert in the ground at a couple of places to hold the cattle panel in place. That will prevent animals from escaping and secure the fix in place -- much better than just packing the area with dirt. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to do the video. Nice fence!
This is such a great looking fence you and Rebecca have built. Would another short strand of barbed wire help in the places at the culvert then add some more rip rap.? Just a thought. I don't know beans about fencing. Thanks for sharing this with us. Y'all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I like how you left that tree right infront of the pipe, hopefully grass can grow up in front of it and the tree and the roots can help slow the water down and filter it
I haven’t built a lot of fence but our bracing always run from top of the corner post diagonally down to the next post. The sturdiest part of a fence post is near the bottom where it enters the ground. The weakest point is the top. The cross brace at the bottom holds the corner post in place thus the rest of the fence stays taught. Also it doesn’t matter that you have 6” gaps between the fence and the ground. Coyotes or your dogs can dig under a woven wire fence. Just making comments, your fence looks very nice. I wish I had it on my farm.
You have done a very nice job on your fence. Whenever you go around a corner, go on the outside of the wood posts to prevent staple pull out. Makes it way easier when installing the fence as well. Never drive your staples all the way into the post as well. If you do, you will take off the protective coating on the wire and it won't be able to slide when something hits it. The wire has to have give in it or will break if stressed too far.
I think you did a fabulous job. I've just recently found your channel and will be going back reviewing other videos in hope of getting my questions answers. My Wife and I just bought a 12 acre farm here in NC. I'm retired and been keeping Honey Bee's 10 years but just bought a new tractor and hoping to do small farming and expanding into goats, chicken's, ect. So, I will need fencing. Thanks for your videos.
Good looking job Evan. An extra strand of barb wire low down across that culvert gap would be the best route for the time being depending on how much water comes through the culvert in a wet time.
I enjoy watching your progress on the farm and especially your explanation of what you do and why. Great job and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You have to use the tensioner on the tractor past the posts, and attach each horizontal wire one at a time. The blocking on your boss posts has to be put in with horizontal grain.
Great stuff Evan, we are gunna be installing our own pasture fencing soon and we are learning a lot from you! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Rebecca .🎄🎄Bruce&Beth ......Michigan
Pretty smart with that woven wire tote with the bucket. Nothing neater than I man and wife working together. You probably don’t want too much rock etc by the water gap to slow for water to flow freely.
I would like to see how those boss posts have held 3-4 years later as you shouldve used concrete on them due to the pressure that they are under with the fence and given that the soil is mostly wet for most of the time. I wont be surprised to see that they have lifted.
Nice job on the fence. I really hope you aren't really expecting it to stop coyotes though. They can clear over 6 foot if they want to. You do have a nice place, good luck.

Staples will pull out. Barb wire the dip u will eventually anyway
The fence looks really good. I have never heard of a boss post. That makes perfect sense though.😊🐾❤️🎄❄️
That's a mighty fine looking fence line, Good job!!! I love the idea of the boss post, it's doing exactly what his name says...Being the BOSS!!! Thanks Evan, you're doing great!!! Peace!!!
Bill
Learned more about field fencing here than any site I’ve looked at. Thanks and great looking job
Hard work working with uneven ground, good job.
An option also is to tension the fence off something past the end post. Something heavy like a truck, tractor or maybe a side by side using the electric winch

@@geraldskaggs3903 yeah he kinda likes to learn for himself I guess, to bad because there’s a wealth of knowledge here.

@Angel if you think of it. ANY comment is engagement and is very good for the TH-cam Algorithm.
When you stepped on that been wire I flinched thinking man if he slips that's gonna hurt! Great job.
It would have ripped his coveralls and possibly worse right up to his @9:48 ... you get the idea.
@@kellykopsa384 exactly lol Becca wouldn't have been impressed 😅😂🤣
Looks good! Doesnt matter how you do it as long as it works for you and you're happy with the result.
I always enjoy watching you guys it makes me miss home more and more each time I see you all....Mount Vernon and St Louis we miss being there
i think the fence is looking great , can't wait to see the all the farm animals enjoying the pasture.

Great job Evan! That's not an easy fence to build. That's your best fence build yet!
That's a nice looking fence! Congratulations on another finished project
Rebecca, you’re looking sharp in those jeans. What a nice thing for Evan to say”you don’t weigh enough “.
Merry Christmas guys.

The fence looks great. The main thing is that it keeps the cows in and the coyotes out. If it does that, it's a great fence.
@Baum Squad Oh no, just a statement. Coyotes can't be kept out. Only killed for trespassing.
Coyotes after my livestock find out what Hornady is real fast.

That would be a gold mine for bottles and cans! Unless it is literally just old scraps and stuff
I always crank my come along off the hitch or front tow hook of my pickup. Gives you plenty of length of your come along cable

“I ran out of come-along” this is a pretty intense process! Great video

Pretty smart with that woven wire tote with the bucket. Nothing neater than I man and wife working together. You probably don’t want too much rock etc by the water gap to slow for water to flow freely.
Stretch the fence straight, then "add on" to the bottom at the ditch area. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Excellent video! Learned a lot. Thanks!
Great job 👍👍 i learned a lot for sure,,,,,,, you did make it look easy,,,,,,, 👍
I just screw a bolt in at the bottom and make the bottom wider , like you said, then toss in 2 bags of ready set cement
I would like to see how those boss posts have held 3-4 years later as you shouldve used concrete on them due to the pressure that they are under with the fence and given that the soil is mostly wet for most of the time. I wont be surprised to see that they have lifted.
I think the fence looks awesome Evan, you should be proud. A very Merry Christmas to you and Rebecca.
Good job guy's .
Nice job on the fence. I really hope you aren't really expecting it to stop coyotes though. They can clear over 6 foot if they want to. You do have a nice place, good luck.
Nice looking fence good job!!!
