This the way me and my ex-boss did it, but we didn't use steel post , except our cross members. His post driver was mounted on the back of his John Deere cab tractor. We drove wooden fence post with t-post on our line with wooden post so many feet in between! That one six mile job was pretty tough in the Texas heat. He also had the auger attachment to bore through rocks in Oklahoma. Keep up the great work guys, looks like ya'll are doing a very fine job!
I used to install barbed wire for the Army Corps of Engineers. Miles at a time. Did it all with a skid steer. I invented a device that would allow us to stretch out five strands of barbed wire all at one time. We could deploy five strands at five different elevations simultaneously. We set 4” steel drill stem pipe for pulling bucks and corner bucks and gate posts. Used T-Posts for line posts. Used a four inch and a two inch Pingo Bit for drilling rock when necessary. Pretty slick operation. Three to four guys could easily string a mile per day and then some in rocky rolling terrain. Fun and easy work most days.
As a young man(12) I worked for a fence builder. Nothing you have is new or innovative. We were paid by the foot in 1968, All of our tools/equipment fit on a one ton 4 wheel drive Ford truck. We ended up so quick at doing this that farmers and local governments were contacting us. If you want a grand entrance to your place. Use square tubing and make a top bar out of the same square tubing. Then use chain link fencing as your "Panel".. We started making these at the shop to make it quicker on the job site,, Then plant English Ivy at the base about a foot apart. The Ivy will fill the fence making a thick green wall. The top bar allows you to hedge trim the top and it is always even. Enjoy the sweat
This is great... If you've got the money to hire a crew to do all the preliminary work for you. Between me and my wife, who is as country as a girl can be, we do all the fence work ourselves! She's the best work partner I could ever hope for!
And I'm talking digging post-holes, sledge-hammering T-Posts, stretching wire and fencing, tying off, and looking great while doing it! I am one lucky guy! Making me always want to "Up" my game!
That fencing looks a lot better to use. We have barbwire to hold back our cows. If that wire works better their will be some big changes around this ranch. I cant wait to see the finished work.
crazy how big those rocks are! Sure is nice to see how much easier it is now days ( working smarter, not harder) we used post hole diggers in sand and stretched the fence wire with 1980s 3-wheelers out in 100 degree sun
Very interesting an instructional video.. mus have been hectic trying to shoot this an build fence too.. you did a great job on both .. An I enjoy the music you play in the background at times too.. !! I know all about fencing as I grew up on a farm an helps Dad an a lot of family members came together to get it done.. may dad always said .. Many hands make light work !! You will feel a great sense of pride an accomplishment when all done !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
@@farmfencesolutionsllc Hello Luke 👋 You guys are an outstanding group of men! Thank you to you and Josh for the opportunity to come out and learn what we did about Farm Fence Solutions and Tornado Wire. We had a great time. Woooooo!!!
Most people would never invest in this quality. And, they would have to replace it 2 to 3 times. Looking forward to the completion. It will be awesome.
Why did you use steel and weld your braces vs using standard CCA treated round posts and H-braces? Were the costs comparable or just worth it for the benefit of steel? I’m in South Carolina, and where I am we have fences that have been standing for 50 years or more with the materials I mentioned above. Arguably that would last even longer now with the advancements in pressure treating. My biggest concern would be the welding and how to conduct future repairs. Also, that diagonal ground brace looks like a future issue for mowing-definitely might wanna wrap it in fluorescent/reflective tape. Definitely engineered for life though!
Hey Stoney Ridge Family. We started our fence project last year and it was quite the undertaking. Our fence is made out of 10' concrete posts made by hand, hauled up the hills and through the valleys by workers or by Carabao and carosa. Our farm is only six hectares so not nearly the undertaking that you are working on but it was quite the chore. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~
Kinda different than me digging several thousand post holes by hand (before my dad figured we should get a posthole digger!), setting 9' cedar posts 4' into the ground, backfilling with a shovel, running 4 strands of barbwire (1 at a time), stretching it, hammering staples and then running 1 strand of regular wire for electric fencing with insulators. All manual work, but I was a strapping teenager in WI.
Been there, done that on everything from barbed wire, high-tensile fence (gawd I hate high tensile fence), and woven-wire (sheep and horse) fence; hated every second of it. I just put about 10 acres in woven wire fencing & hired an Amish contractor who did it in 1/20th th the time it would have taken me.
That was interesting. Never knew there was such a way build a fence. I remember when a kid I had to hold the wire around the post while my dad drove in a steeple. My how things have changed. Great Video. I love the lay of the land. Move them rocks near the road and paint them purple. That should get some attention.;-)
Will be really nice! Should last for a long time. Are you going to put a strand of barb wire on it! As long as you keep the weeds and bushes out of it. They make a tractor powered fence mower that you might need to check out. Could come in handy!
Hi my name is terry i live in the uk i am very much injoying your program i used to work on a farm and i realy injoy watching your program please keep it up
Great video . That sure must have taken a lot of planning to figure what you need and how much to order and where to get it from. That fence is going to cost a bundle but it sure looks pretty . Don't know how you're gonna finish the fence by yourself when all of the equipment that the company brings will be gone when they leave . Can't imagine all the work that went into moving those rocks . Stoney Ridge Farm .... good name choice . 2 miles of fencing already . Wow that's a big size piece of property .
Very excited for you Josh and Mrs. Stoney Ridge - nothing like seeing fencing going in and knowing livestock is not too far in the future. Hey, those boulders are awesome - ever thought about getting them moved to the entrance to your farm, that would be a killer look I'd think.
In Australia we use a drill on back of a tractor then by a pull of a switch a 300kg ponder hits the post in,,but we use 7feet hardwood iron bark posts 150, 200mm dia did which last 100years plus in the grd...Aussie being do that for many many years
This project reminds me of something my high school ag teacher used to say. "How do you make a small fortune farming? Start out with a large fortune!" This guy must have won the lottery.
Interesting use of steel posts. Had you compared the cost of steel versus wood? In Ireland lots of farmers hutch those post drivers onto the linkage on a tractor. Had you conserved the NZ approach, 5 strands of stainless wire using insulated connectors. Much cheaper & you just energise the fence when the stock is in the field.
Are you pleased withe the Tornado wire that you selected? Are you pleased with the line post size and spacing? What is your typical line post spacing on the Tornado Wire?
I see a lot of angles and bends in your fenceline. Are you going to weld braces to the line posts where the fenceline bends in a different direction? If not, over time, the fence will begin to lean over.
Cool video Josh. I am enjoying this fence build. I need fence work done myself. You and Mrs Stoney Ridge have a Blessed Weekend **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
Nice job on the fence. But, I have observed smooth posts don’t hold position in frost ground, they eventually start heaving out after a few years. However, a person can go along and give a few whacks with a sledge, and knock em back down, when the posts do start heaving out.
Now that's the way to do it! There is a company around here they're outta TN.They got a big Ol operation with similar machines, I watched them run a 400 acre live stock fence the corners were all what looked to be utility pole,and every so often the would but another utility pole post and metal post in between. It's pretty cool how fast they can go when the rocks cooperate
Just loving this series on fencing. Good job informing other farmers in the area so they can learn too. Great drone shots and some beautiful country where the farm is. 👍
Hey good evening Josh! That was super awesome. Super informative. And a great video! I have never seen it done and I learned a whole lot today. Thanks so much (to you AND to Mrs. Stoney.:) for taking the time to record it and take us along for the ride today. Cheers good sir! Can't wait for part 2!!
Thank goodness all my perimeter fencing is done, six years ago I put up 12.25 miles of 6 strands of barbed wire fencing in one summer vacation ( I taught High Scool) by myself. By the time I was done I didn't care if I ever drove another T-Post in my life or tied another wire. So they are right you can do it by yourself but why would you?
They have posts that are driven in the ground by a screwing motion. The bottom of the posts resembles an auger/post digger and a machine just twists the post into the ground. Seen them used as foundation posts for homes and decks.
That's some Rolls Royce fencing right there. I put one of those posts every 200 feet and use star pickets in between, but then I am cheap. It still keeps in the cows, and I don't have to worry about coyotes, only kangaroos.
Daniel@Arms Family Homestead rented a Kubota with a post driver called the Hammer, I believe. He drove metal posts like that & even drove a wooden post with it. It worked really well for him. Just FYI.
Cool video. Obviously money is no object. In Montana we sometimes auger most of the time we hand dig. Is the rest of the “farm” all hired outside labor. We just have a farm all tractor with an auger or a bar with some shovels. Looks like you grow green grass.
Josh will you have some detail on how the corner braces are welded. That is outside some of our skill sets? Do you have a Profesional Welder doing those for you?
When I was a kid the only fencing tools we used was a shovel and post hammer. Did a lot of post driving. Every winter we had to set up snow fences in our fields. Oh by the way, WHERE IS POPCORN?
I put fence up on my 100 acre property (that I sold years ago) but there were sections of BARE Granite! ,,, No Problem, I just used a hammer drill sharp bits (brought a bench grinder) and then used concrete anchors 6"X 6" 1/2 plate steel with three bolts .. and welded the fence stake to that! :) ... every three stakes I put a triangle support on using the same technique :)
That looks like some good fence but it needs a stran of barb wire across the top so the cows will not lean on it and smash it down and also so people will stay off of climbing it. Well thats the way the US high way department does it.
Not yet done with the fence...keep watching my friend.....no barbed wire....however we'll be intensively rotational grazing....need electric high tensile across the top
A lot better than Grandpa bored platform bolted on the drawbar on the h Farmall we drove the Locust Post in with a big Sledge after we dug the holes with a post hole digger
That is so interesting. If you don't mind me asking, is there an indicator somewhere that shows the posts are going in leveled? Thank you. Never mind. I just noticed the man with the level.
@Stoney Ridge Farmer I have recently been watching fencing videos on YT. And I have been noticing a trend. And am wondering if it's a regional thing, or a generational thing..... I'm noticing that a large number of people/farmers are using pipe posts, instead of wood. Also noticing that a large number are also using woven wire (like you did), instead of strands of barbed wire...... I'm older. Grew up on a cattle farm in Kansas. My dad and I built a lot of new fence around our pastures. We always used big (10"-14") hedge posts or pieces of old power line/telephone poles for our corner and brace posts. Then smaller (4"-7") hedge posts for line posts. And always drilled 48"-54" deep on the corner/brace, and 48" deep on the line. And hand tamped/packed dirt only back in the holes, instead of driving, like you did with the pipes... And then installed 6 strands of barbed wire with 10" gaps between wires (and started with the bottom strand 10" from the ground).....As I say, just curious if this steel pipe and woven wire is a regional thing or something the younger generation has decided is the way to go?❓❓ I want to point out that I am not complaining about it. Just curious. I know that seemingly everyone has their own opinions on fences.😎😁
Man I don't know how you do it but you make some of the most boring tasks very interesting like for example you can make a video of paint drying and it'll be the most interesting video I watched all day. Keep up the great work buddy👍
Nice machine. When you don't have rock it goes pretty fast. I only have 5 acres to re-fence but I would like to use Tornado wire. What is the life expectancy of the post?

Stoney Ridge Farmer Mount Airy auction/ sale has the best prices around right now. Might want to start there They’re low enough it’s worth the drive
Looks like that fence is going to outlive you, which is a great thing. Build it right and never have to worry about it again.
I sure hope so

about 14 gates so far

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Rocks at the Stoney Ridge Farm...
My goodness. Up to 5 miles of fence! That's a lot of work. Stay hydrated Josh👍
Man crazy to think people used to do all this by hand. Thanks for sharing this
Many still do.
Interesting use of steel posts. Had you compared the cost of steel versus wood? In Ireland lots of farmers hutch those post drivers onto the linkage on a tractor.
Had you conserved the NZ approach, 5 strands of stainless wire using insulated connectors. Much cheaper & you just energise the fence when the stock is in the field.
Outstanding "fiddle" music to watch by! Thanks!
Are you pleased withe the Tornado wire that you selected? Are you pleased with the line post size and spacing? What is your typical line post spacing on the Tornado Wire?
I'm 100% pleased with it...and our post spacing is as far as 25 -30 ft for line posts in flat areas...it's super tight and awesome!
I see a lot of angles and bends in your fenceline. Are you going to weld braces to the line posts where the fenceline bends in a different direction? If not, over time, the fence will begin to lean over.
I saw the curves also.

Nice job on the fence. But, I have observed smooth posts don’t hold position in frost ground, they eventually start heaving out after a few years. However, a person can go along and give a few whacks with a sledge, and knock em back down, when the posts do start heaving out.

Beautiful farm , Josh
@Stoney Ridge Farmer I have recently been watching fencing videos on YT. And I have been noticing a trend. And am wondering if it's a regional thing, or a generational thing..... I'm noticing that a large number of people/farmers are using pipe posts, instead of wood. Also noticing that a large number are also using woven wire (like you did), instead of strands of barbed wire...... I'm older. Grew up on a cattle farm in Kansas. My dad and I built a lot of new fence around our pastures. We always used big (10"-14") hedge posts or pieces of old power line/telephone poles for our corner and brace posts. Then smaller (4"-7") hedge posts for line posts. And always drilled 48"-54" deep on the corner/brace, and 48" deep on the line. And hand tamped/packed dirt only back in the holes, instead of driving, like you did with the pipes... And then installed 6 strands of barbed wire with 10" gaps between wires (and started with the bottom strand 10" from the ground).....As I say, just curious if this steel pipe and woven wire is a regional thing or something the younger generation has decided is the way to go?❓❓ I want to point out that I am not complaining about it. Just curious. I know that seemingly everyone has their own opinions on fences.😎😁
I am loving this fencing series! Lots of educational information!

Not sure how you did it but you made putting fence up look fun. Great video, keep up the good work.
Man, that's one awesome fence
Do you plan to do your cross fencing with the same materials?
Hence the name! Stoney Ridge!
Man I don't know how you do it but you make some of the most boring tasks very interesting like for example you can make a video of paint drying and it'll be the most interesting video I watched all day. Keep up the great work buddy👍
The host makes all the difference.
Nice machine. When you don't have rock it goes pretty fast. I only have 5 acres to re-fence but I would like to use Tornado wire. What is the life expectancy of the post?
50 to 70 years

Very interesting video! Can't believe those rocks are that big!! Good thing they are easy to drill thru with that machine!
