Thank your wife for been such a great support for you. She is hanging in dirt with you, be thankful. And don’t obsessed over your work it is a very good job stay strong bro you and your wife!
Evan and Rebbecca great job doing it right the first. A lot of people do fencing half A$$ just get it done and it looks horrible . Then they wonder why the livestock is running loose.
Praise the Lord that is finished . That fence will last forever. I can’t wait to see animals in that pasture. Now you two need to celebrate and rest. Also I will certainly be waiting for the next video. Good job ,and it doesn’t matter what anyone else says. God is so good. Thank you Lord for walking with them and holding them up through this long hard job. Goats will be here soon for Rebecca to play with,much easier job.
I commend you two on your efforts. 25 years ago I bought a farm and went through a lot of what you have been doing but my dad had a nearby farm and was my driving force in prodding me to keep moving forward. you two seem to have that drive without needing coerced into it. Love to see the effort and watch you tackle these projects.
My comment is two years too late, but you did exactly as I would have done. The individual sections will decrease the vertical force vector at the center post of the brace at the bottom of the dam. A single run would be the string on a bow and your posts the arrow pointing up and out. Good job!
Don't listen to those that put down what you have done with the fence. To think that a husband and wife team with no experience and fulltime jobs put that fence in is amazing. Great job.
Fencing is a joy. You built a very nice fence. The two runs is the best way to do that. No matter what 1 full length run the top would have more slack and the bottom would tighten as you pulled it down. Great job!
Well done. We had little over 700 head of cattle contained by a 3 strand Barbwire fence that was electric. The electric fence charger was a great controller, the wire did not need any insulators.
Best video I've found on how to and do's and dont's when building a fence, especially with ELEVATION changes. Thanks for going to the effort to make this video and being willing to show your mistakes along with your overall success. GREAT JOB!!
You ended up with the better solution, despite the need to tie off two more times. Slopes like that are tough. The normally horizontal stays must be parallel to the ground, but the normally vertical ones are either perpendicular to the ground or are vertical. To keep them vertical would mean all the rectangles in the fence would have to be pulled into diamonds, and for a slope that severe, I doubt that’s even possible with the equipment at hand. That many wires and ties make for a pretty strong network, even in the diagonal direction. So, you eventually got what most of us would have done. As for the top, just take some scrap galvanized wire and re-create the vertical (actually 24 degree from vertical) ties at the same spacing as the original. The first one probably starts about the second or third horizontal one. The second one starts maybe halfway up. A short third one probably finishes it off. That will salve your sense of aesthetics. 😉 Anyway, it’s a nice fence. Once you finish your water gap and the gate, you’ll be good to go with most of your critters. Go rest up for the next project!
👋 Good morning. The fence is looking good. It is nice to have it all done. 👏👏👏 You folks have worked hard at it. The animals should enjoy the extra space to roam and graze.👍👍👏👏👏 Be blessed and have a good day. Stay warm. 💞💞
You can use 2 hammers, one to pull wire tight around the fence post a little, between the claws, hold it with your hip, than throw a staple in to hold till you get it wrapped. Doing a great job!!
Considering where you had to split the fence wire and make it 2 sections it is wet, maybe that is better anyway, in case you need to replace those wooden posts one day. Great achievement, it is finally done!
Old fella in our area was stretching some barbed wire and he had his hands on it as it was being stretched and it broke... It recoiled and sliced both the insides of his hands. He was bandaged up pretty bad for a few weeks. Great job on the fence... I'm always amazed at how much patience You both have.
Turned out great 👍.. I enjoy watching you & Rebecca working together. My wife of 22 years will still work just as hard as I do cutting & busting fire wood . Good ol county girls are the keepers .. Stay Safe & GodBless
Myself I would not care about what everyone else said, I would build it like I wanted to, to show that I cared about the fencing and how I wanted it, instead of a half way job. IT LOOKS VERY PROFESIONAL. VERY GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Great job Evan and Rebecca, did a super job of fencing. Keep it tight by doing it right and make it fixable down the road. Looks great. Thanks for sharing with all the good and bad that you ran into. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
I have been following your videos for a while now and I am fairly impressed with all your work. I was a UK farm worker on a mixed Farm for over 40 years and, as such, carried out a huge range of work. Fencing was one of them and we built fences in a very similar way. A barbed wire at the bottom, then animal net and 2 barbed wires on top. We were fencing for sheep and cattle, the bottom barbed wire was to stop lambs creeping out. It was hard work, most of our posts were railroad ties sawn down the middle and pile driven in to around 3 feet deep. You had better tools to help than we had, I was really envious of TWO come alongs and the animal net clamp. I have been retired a few years now and the old school boss was reluctant to spend on on extras. Thanks for your videos and a special thanks too your fencing buddy, Rebbeca, It's not a job to do on your own. By the way, fence posts rot at varying rates but they all do it.
Building it strong to last is a great lesson for all things that matter. Good job look forward to the closing video on this project and than on to the next. Never ending story on a working farm. Stay safe and stay warm.
JudithB Its looks good and should last many years! Only thing I would do is add a line of barbwire at the top, if you get horses they will scratch their necks on the top line and waller it over. Cows can do the same thing to scratch under their heads. I added a center barbwire on all my woven wire at butt high on my horses as they would scratch on the wire. I dont run electric fencing anywhere in case the power goes out for whatever reason, storms or equipment failure, etc. Doing it right now is a pain, but will pay you back in minor maintenance for many many years. Its cold 19 this am, but 50 this afternoon here in central Arkansas, I got to install a gate into the garden, and unload 480#s of cow manure so I can get more tomorrow!!! LOL Plan to build the strawberry bed and get the new plants ordered. I planted Kale, spinach and Chard in the house last night, so got to clean the hoop beds!!! and haul in firewood------
I like your philosophy Evan, do it once, do it right. Looking really good. Since I started watching you have come a long way. I think I started when you were getting started with the Pole Barn (new one) God Bless you & Rebecca and hang in there.
I like how you did your cross bracing and your corner braces. You put a lot of effort in it and i think it'll be there a long time to come. Great job my friend.
Wow, you both have done an awesome job. It’s so good to see you both work together. That fencing will last and I know the animals will love the space they have to roam. Rebecca you are a pioneer woman and I love watching your videos, so keep them coming. Stay safe, warm and have a blessed day the both of you. A job well done.
Great job. Definitely worth building to last. That said, fences take constant attention and upkeep. Our 3 rail horse fence with black locust posts is over 30 years old and still is strong. And as Robert Frost famously wrote: good fences make good neighbors!
Great job, I think you did the right thing building the fence the right way. I think it looks really good and I think it will last ! I am in the process of putting up fence and I hope mine looks as good as yours when I am done. Love your videos, keep them coming.
Looks great Evan. We all learn from our mistakes big or small. That fence will be there for a long time. You can always replace a fence post or two. It’s no big deal ...
You both have worked so hard to get everything perfect 👌 I just want to say it all looks sooo god well done 👍 I can see that you are learning as you go great credit to you most homesteads take a lifetime to get it you should be proud of all you have done thank you for sharing your journey love from London England 🇬🇧👍🎉💐
ill share a quick story. my father in law was a ww2 vet, a true hero, and he told me once that his older brother jasper said to him in about 1960ish, "clyde it's all gone to hell, kids now days can't even build fence anymore", i think they would both like your fence building!
I was thinking you would have to do 2 stretches because of that slope change when I first saw it. Was curious to see if you could do it with one. Great looking fence!
You did an awesome job and to put in a good sturdy long lasting fence takes time even when running electric, cows will test a fence especially if for some reason the power goes out on the electric fence charger so you want the fence good enough to hold them and the electric is to keep them off the fence. I was afraid you were going to have to split it, the angle was to much , it's better the way you did it, if you notice the fence vertical wires are vertical to the ground ( or 90 degrees) when standing on the hill which is good. In all you did awesome and it should last 20 years, I never use electric fence by itself, I always use barbed wire or field fence as the primary fence and then use the electric wire to keep them off the fence.
Building a lifetime fence is a lot of work. You built a fence to be proud of. Congratulations!
@Smokey Bear Depends on who's lifetime.
@@salmonhunter7414 Depends on how much time the Lord has left for this world ...
I watched a dozen videos, trying to find out how to run fence on a hill. Yours is the only one that actually showed me something, thank you.
Thank your wife for been such a great support for you. She is hanging in dirt with you, be thankful. And don’t obsessed over your work it is a very good job stay strong bro you and your wife!
I appreciate you showing the mistakes and what you've done to fix them. Nobody's perfect and I completely stink at fencing.
Installing the fence in multiple sections was what I was thinking.
Using two separate fence sections was certainly the best way to go. Looks great. Good job Evan and Rebecca. Now lets get some other animals
That's how you're supposed to do it it looks great now you know how to do it properly
Evan and Rebbecca great job doing it right the first. A lot of people do fencing half A$$ just get it done and it looks horrible . Then they wonder why the livestock is running loose.
Praise the Lord that is finished . That fence will last forever. I can’t wait to see animals in that pasture. Now you two need to celebrate and rest.

Thank you Lord for walking with them and holding them up through this long hard job. Goats will be here soon for Rebecca to play with,much easier job.
Don't beat yourself up over "mistakes." That fence will outlast you - you did a great job!
You built a strong fence Evan with help from Rebecca !
I commend you two on your efforts. 25 years ago I bought a farm and went through a lot of what you have been doing but my dad had a nearby farm and was my driving force in prodding me to keep moving forward. you two seem to have that drive without needing coerced into it. Love to see the effort and watch you tackle these projects.
Much agreed. Rebekah is a wonderful helpmate. God bless all you folks.
your dad was just trying to keep you from being a lazy sack, should be thanking him for talking you into buying land
Tough job to tackle, that God for Rebecca!
My comment is two years too late, but you did exactly as I would have done. The individual sections will decrease the vertical force vector at the center post of the brace at the bottom of the dam. A single run would be the string on a bow and your posts the arrow pointing up and out. Good job!
Nice job guys it looks good. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
GREAT JOB GUYS ‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Great job, well done.
looking forward to the drone footage.
The fence looks great!
Don't listen to those that put down what you have done with the fence. To think that a husband and wife team with no experience and fulltime jobs put that fence in is amazing. Great job.
You are soooo honest and humble , you did a great job and really tight ... Thank you so very much......
At last you doing it right I did fencing for many years and that is how I would’ve done it from the start
She is definitely a keeper!!! Not many women would be out there working on a fence.
Fencing is a joy. You built a very nice fence. The two runs is the best way to do that. No matter what 1 full length run the top would have more slack and the bottom would tighten as you pulled it down. Great job!
You guys posted this 12 January, and here it already is, 14 July. Incredible how fast this year has blown by. Nice to have such an able worker!
Hi.... Evan nice to see you, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Thought your hands must be sore - then I saw the band aid on your finger! Congratulations on finishing your mammoth task.
Fence is looking good Evan! I bet you and Rebekah could use some advil, a fire and a couple days off. Glad to see it all coming together.
Good job, the only person you have to please is yourself. Looking forward to seeing some new critters in that pasture. 🐮 🐄 🐐 🐏
Well done. We had little over 700 head of cattle contained by a 3 strand Barbwire fence that was electric. The electric fence charger was a great controller, the wire did not need any insulators.
Don't bite off more than you can chew!!! Pulling the fence, in two runs, was an excellent choice. Good job Guys!!! Thanks...Peace!!!
Bill
Look very nice you and your wife did a great job 👏🙂❤️🙃
I like the look of a fence like y’all put up. Let’s go get some cows!😊
wonderful video. loving your humbleness. would like to hear more from rebeccca. keep up the great content. all the best to you both
Getting good at stretching fence!
Best video I've found on how to and do's and dont's when building a fence, especially with ELEVATION changes. Thanks for going to the effort to make this video and being willing to show your mistakes along with your overall success. GREAT JOB!!

Be blessed and have a good day. Stay warm. 💞💞
Great job Evan! Very much enjoyed this series on the fence for your pasture.
Really, great job!
You can use 2 hammers, one to pull wire tight around the fence post a little, between the claws, hold it with your hip, than throw a staple in to hold till you get it wrapped. Doing a great job!!

Great work - a fence that will last and is also nice to look at - worth it in the long run.

I enjoy watching you & Rebecca working together.
My wife of 22 years will still work just as hard as I do cutting & busting fire wood .
Good ol county girls are the keepers ..
Stay Safe & GodBless
Fencing is hard work, we ran 40,000 feet of hightensile this summer using timeless fence posts. Great job keep the videos coming
...LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE JOB, STAY SAFE...
Myself I would not care about what everyone else said, I would build it like I wanted to, to show that I cared about the fencing and how I wanted it, instead of a half way job. IT LOOKS VERY PROFESIONAL. VERY GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Great job Evan and Rebecca, did a super job of fencing. Keep it tight by doing it right and make it fixable down the road. Looks great. Thanks for sharing with all the good and bad that you ran into. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
Fence looks great! You have brought that property a long way since you got it and were picking up all the junk metal!
Great stuff Rebecca and Evan....I am just a common person, but I think it looks teriffic...Nice job. You should be very proud of yourselves.....
Great job guys looks amazing! God-bless y'all!
Grand work!😊👍🏻
You must be pretty glad that you finished
buiding the fence... 😉
YOU GUYS DID A FANTASTIC JOB!!
Fence the project that never ends C'mon great video.

I've enjoyed watching you build the fence. You channel is one of the best and most relaxing.
And looking forward Evan when y’all get the cows 🐄
What are cows?
Well done! Congratulations.
😷👍
Great job!
Building it strong to last is a great lesson for all things that matter.
Good job look forward to the closing video on this project and than on to the next. Never ending story on a working farm.
Stay safe and stay warm.
The fence looks great I can appreciate how hard this was! I'd walk down there for a while just to admire my work.
Fence looks awesome. I would have made two sections like you did also. It wasn’t going to work with just one section of fencing. Very nice fence.

The fence looks awesome. We put up our first fence last year.
Your fence will be fine. No worries !!
I like your philosophy Evan, do it once, do it right. Looking really good. Since I started watching you have come a long way. I think I started when you were getting started with the Pole Barn (new one) God Bless you & Rebecca and hang in there.
Great looking fence. Like building a good fence.
Looks great! Big thumbs up to both of you!
Great Video 👍. I love watching these fencing videos.
I like how you did your cross bracing and your corner braces. You put a lot of effort in it and i think it'll be there a long time to come. Great job my friend.

Rebecca you are a pioneer woman and I love watching your videos, so keep them coming. Stay safe, warm and have a blessed day the both of you. A job well done.
As long as the fence keeps the animals in that's all that matters right
WELL DONE Evan
I never knew how much work went into pulling the fence line. Looks like that’s harder than setting the post.
Great job. Definitely worth building to last. That said, fences take constant attention and upkeep. Our 3 rail horse fence with black locust posts is over 30 years old and still is strong. And as Robert Frost famously wrote: good fences make good neighbors!
Great job, I think you did the right thing building the fence the right way. I think it looks really good and I think it will last ! I am in the process of putting up fence and I hope mine looks as good as yours when I am done. Love your videos, keep them coming.
Good job working with those hills, tough work. Sometimes working in shorter sections helps and eliminate a lot of stress on the wire and posts.
I guess this old guy still knows some stuff. If you put cattle in there you need a barb wire at the top or electric. Fence looks really good
NICE fence work! well done!
Just fenced most of my property and you’re right- glad it’s done
Appreciate you showing your mistakes brother. Not everyone is so honest
Nice job that should last 100 years.
Looks great guys. 👍👍👍
Magnifique clôture.
Great job. Wish I saw this before I put up my first fence 6 years ago.
ohh yes I like the drone footage!
Looks great Evan. We all learn from our mistakes big or small. That fence will be there for a long time. You can always replace a fence post or two. It’s no big deal ...

great job guys. very nice fence
that is the right philosophy for building a fence....build it right the first time to last a lifetime....
Your tying off skill ant so good

Well that’s a good strong fence I’m sure it was a lot of work
I was thinking you would have to do 2 stretches because of that slope change when I first saw it. Was curious to see if you could do it with one. Great looking fence!
Great job and I appreciate your attention to detail! Congrats on your completion!
