    We fenced in 7 acres last summer for cows. We used wood corner post and barbed wire. We did all the work ourselves and spent about $5000!

    Good job. However one thing i'd have done is have the gates (the walk in gates) the width of your run, and open in opposite sides, so you can open them up and they block the run leaving a walk through area for you, and you don't have to worry about closing each gate behind you ... until you're done with whatever you need to do in the orchard.

      So 2x 6 foot gates, making the opening 12 feet when gates are open, but it blocks the chicken run. Can change dimensions to accommodate a vehicle passing through.

  • @ingeborgm6147

    I am 82 year old widow and obviously am done farming :) but I learned so much with these new fences and fitting parts. It used to be HE## to put up fences! Plus...looks great! I agree with your decision to do your own fence instead of having it done! Farming is your business and the more money you can keep through do-it-yourself the more successful you are. (There'll be enough emergencies you have no control over that will cost you.) It is also wise to consider which tools to buy, which to rent. My first thought was to rent the post driver, but when I heard the price I too would have purchased it. You will need it enough in years to come! The double fence is interesting and it should work. You may get a few young ones in there at the beginning but they won't look for food! They will want to get out and won't do it again! Deer are smart. When we figured out their highway through our 20 acres from the forest to the open plains we learned to keep that grassy and open. They never lingered or veered off and we had twice daily the herd going through.....as the farmer's friends and a great side-show. We felt we owed that to them because we also hunted our share for meat. Thank you, I love your always interesting videos.. You are heaven-send in these times of constant tribulations.

    I hate to disappoint but the chickens can still get through this field fence as well as predators through the larger holes. They figure it out that if they go higher they can go right through. It is fixed by attaching hardware cloth or chicken wire to the fence. Then they can't get through the larger holes in the fence.

    Won't hawks be able to fly in, perch on the fence, then easily kill & devour a chicken? I've got 2 huge hawks that do that daily behind my home to catch frogs between the 6ft. wood stockade fence & the chain link fence that surrounds the drainage pond. These two fences are 5-6 feet apart. Hope it doesn't happen to you & be upsetting to discover. Just wanted to share. This method absolutely works on deer crossing!!!!👍

    This was the best came to see the moat got a great lesson on fencing with t posts. Never realized you can get all that hardware and a gas driver . Putting up new fence no more poles and concrete they move all over the place because of the frost and high water table . thanks guys this is why I SUBSCRIBED

    Well done! Those price quotes let you know the value of your hard work. Yes, the fence installers need to make a living too, but not here, not today. 😉 I found out watching this that Sarah is a human carpenter level.

    That is brilliant. I too have a lot of deer as well as Elk and antelope and have been trying to plan some defense for fruit trees and this would work great and I love the dual purpose !!! Such a great channel !!!

    I used that system on my old farm. And then added a guardian dog that patrolled the 'moat'. Mine was for deer AND Coyotes, so that is why the addition of the dog. You should see great success with this. Also, you are not alone in how that vortex pushed things around. I had birds to process, several crops to get in the beds, potatoes to plant, and the rotation of the grazing animals(not to mention the hit of frostbite on chicken combs and even a calf). God has us in hand and sometimes we just need to take a breath and trust in that.

    There are a bunch of homesteading TH-cam channels out there but your channel is one of the best. In my opinion there are only a very few that I consider the best of the best and your channel is in the top 3 best homestead cha nels I've seen, and I've watched a bunch of different channels! Love you guys. God bless you. Awesome job on the fence and using the “moat” as a chicken run! 😁👍💖💗🙏🎉

    The fence looks awesome. When I saw Sarah driving the tracker all I could think of was " Sarah fell in love with Kevin's big blue tracker. " Happy to see y'all's orchard coming along.
