- Curious to try Irn Bru? 👉🏻 amzn.to/3UKW0V9 (affiliate link)
Today we had the privilege of following Rory Sampson, a giant Scottish fence builder who has perfected the art of building fence in some of the toughest ground in Scotland. This Scottish Highland fence-builder shows us the massive equipment he uses to build fence anywhere. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Scottish folk are the hardiest I've ever met. Great friendship, strength of character and ever resourceful.
We like the ones we've met. 👍🏻
And very, very strong.
redshank spirit is still as strong as it ever was :)
Yeah. But Irish people are the most waterproof.
@@SWiFence I’ll bet my left nut that Rory took you out on the piss that night and you had one hell of a night!!! We Scots know how to entertain guests…..👍👍👍👍
And to add on , wasn’t a moment this guy wasn’t smiling working his ass off . Hats off to the Scottish people , my grandfather in Poland is 70 and still wakes at 5 to work all day on the farm . Tractor work , mechanical stuff , welding pipes , remodeling the bathroom , fixing the stove , he did this on his birthday when I visited couple years ago . ALL DAY
My old boss was Scottish but his dads side was polish, hardest worker I knew 😂
Absolutely nothing to see, normal coloured legs, what's ge on about?
Thanks to Rory and our friends from across the pond for demonstrating and erecting Clipex fencing in such a positive way. A real test of its capabilities, well done great job.
Rory Samson……. Perfect name for that wee lad!!!
As a fellow scot, thank you for visiting our beautiful country! We're not all savages, some, maybe, but we love to have a good laugh! 😁👍
Great to see you in Scotland guys. And Irn Bru is in our blood. Hope you enjoy your time here.👍
Rory is a great man. It's easy to see why his customers trust him to do a great job. Thanks
Very cool to see. A few years ago I was building deer fencing on the west coast of Scotland. Almost everything was done by hand due to the inaccessibility of the land. Tough old work
I have done some fencing with this system in Australia. In 4 weeks we did 11km. We had easier conditions than what you got here, but overall its a great way of doing it.
Thanks for great content! I still can't be bothered with the ads so this is to make up for it.
You're awesome! Thanks!
That’s Crazy! I’ve been building fences for over 12 years and never saw how Scottish people build there farm fences. That’s one cool experience
Dudes tough as nails, and has the best attitude
Wow. Y’all international fencers. This channel is soo underrated.
Thanks!
Excellent! Its great to see it done elsewhere, especially in family roots location! I have to go work on the fence now... keep er goin.
Thank you all, that was really interesting and very instructive, enjoyed everything
Enjoyed this lesson on fencing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Done plenty of fencing in NZ , love the ease Rory gets the fencing done in scotland
Never thought that fencing could be so much fun
I live in the Scottish Highlands and that ground is like mine, a few inches of topsoil and then rocks all the way
I think that it's basically glacial moraine
Glacial moraine,,,we use more coulerful language when in that terrain ,,
10 years ago I took a bike tour thru NZ and was very impressed with their fencing. Beautiful jobs. I do try to equal that on my ranch, but not up to their quality. Too bad we don't do that.
Saying about his shorts, was just saying yesterday about climbing our mountains here, you see tourists with loads of expensive hiking gear and all the branded logo's on it all struggling to get up, we go up them in trainers with beer.
Love the telephone poles…. And the wire post . Excellent set up!
There not telephone poles , there mass produced creosote pressure treated come with or without points , same with post rails ect . I think they come from Poland ? 25 year warranty against rot .
All the gear and great ideas 👍
Thanks to all your tutorials and instructions on chainlink fence installation my wife and I installed a 50ft. Fence to the front of our property. Mine you it took us a whole week to accomplish we are both in our mid 60 year old, but again with your tutorial it made it easier. Dug 9 holes with a post hole digger and poured 6 bags of quick drying cement. Again thank you. Aloha from Kansas.
Wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
Holy crap! I hope I’m still as spry as you and yours in my 60’s. So cool, hope you enjoy it!
Great insight, nice one.
I’ve seen those line post quite a bit when I’ve done repair work on old barbed wire fences with the wire tied to the post, now I know what they’re actually meant for.
Great show
I'm a Scot living and working in Australia. We tend to use a wired diagonal brace, from the strainer to the first post with timber or more common now, gal pipe. And our strainers you can't lift by hand, our hardwood is so heavy. I pilot drill the strainer 700, then set it with thumper. Nice tight fence though. Concrete posts are becoming popular here, as timber become rarer. Stars like these can be leaned on by cattle.
Irn Bru.... before Red Bull or V this was the drink to kill hangovers.... Made in Sctoland.... from Girders!.... Loved the clip great fun to watch. from New Zealand
Thanks for the video, never seen this before. Coming from the islands would be beneficial due to the saturated ground 6 months of the year 😅 great fence job also. That's how you do it!.😉
Got to keep the wild haggis from escaping.
Crafty buggers one bit me as I was trying to pull it out its hole
lol@@Doylemcfarlane369
I'm glad we've got Hadrains wall stopping them getting south into England. The Romans had a hard fight pushing them north. Taste good tho.
Looks like it will be there a long time. Awesome.
Fun video and very interesting !
Thank you for sharing !
👏😀❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
The yanks love a fence.
It broke my heart seeing the miles & miles of fencing on the great plains in Colorado.
Stumbled across this video, great content! That NZ fencing system is incredible. Also, I grew up in Lockerbie... Hope you enjoyed your stay
Brilliant to watch a busmans holiday. Great to have a different perspective of your industry. You would love Headge laying. Its an art form, and the best fence with maintainance.
Type hedge laying into the u tube search , I found load going back to the 40s . Different styles and methods from all over Britain. I've yet to find any from anywhere else , but I live in hope .
@Stephen Rice ahhh. I wonder what else Dayton got up to the land girl. In the hay barn lol. I absolutely love it. The bit I layer of my own has cone back beautifully this year.
@Stephen Rice oh. BTW. There are European methods, but they use dead hedge. And you can imagine why Yank tanks had bother getting through the hedgerows in the Bocage . Them.hedgw bottoms must have been solid.
Hope you enjoyed your time here 🏴✌🏻
We did!
Scotland is the only country where the most popular soft drink isn't coca cola, I'd be proud of that.
no it isnt
Its not whisky because we cannot afford it thanks to our snp goverment.
@@ispy3836aye, but the whisky tax is set (and withheld); by the Westminster government.
@@MegaToost Aye?... Pity it has nothing to do with the tax on it, and is about the minimum price per unit the SNP brought in, to shaft the poorer ppl in society from having a bevvy. Your lame 'It's Westminster's fault' doesn't work in all eventualities I'm afraid... Won't stop you trying to still use it every time tho I suppose.
Scotch Whisky Association director of strategy Graeme Littlejohn said: “The 10.1% duty increase is a hammer blow for distillers and consumers.
“At a time when inflation has only just started to creep downwards, this tax increase will continue to fuel inflation and make it more difficult for the Scotch Whisky industry to invest in growth and job creation in Scotland and across the UK supply chain.
“Rather than choosing to back an industry which the UK government promised to support through the tax system, the Government has chosen to impose the largest duty increase in almost half a century, increasing the cost of every bottle of Scotch Whisky sold in the UK by almost a pound and taking the tax burden on the average priced bottle to 75%.@@AlanDevine257
What a cracking job he's done. Lovely to see tradesmen who have pride in the work they do.
'Lang may yer lum reek' goes the old Gaelic saying ~ 'Long may your chimney smoke' or may you have a long life...
That’s not Gaelic, it’s Scots - but you’re right, it’s the equivalent of Live Long and Prosper
It's scots not gaelic but aye 👍
Great video!
Hope you enjoyed your visit guys 💙
We had a blast!
Loved the reaction to Irn Bru. Great video that was a joy to watch. Lockerbie isn't far from me.
Great and interesting video
The kiwis and the aussies are really blowing us away in fencing technology. Everytime I break down (ain't cheap) and buy their products I am blown away by how well they work and how well thought out they are.
Couldn't agree more. 👍🏻
Yes. We are very spoilt in NZ with what is available. Some are just clever like the batten square and batten spacer by Strainrite. The post rammer set-ups you see are just amazing and the terrain they work on is frightening. I was selling some ewes this year (have a lifestyle property near Auckland) and one of the buyers worked for a contract fencer and he was critiquing my fencing and battening efforts. Curiosity made me ask how many battens he could put on in a day on an 8 wire fence. He said his best day was 1000. I was even more gobsmacked when I asked if that was with two people and he replied saying that was doing it all by himself.
I agree as well. I bought the blue air driver last year, (comes out of Australia) and I also bought the fenceline strainers from down under. So much better than the golden rod. I've also switched to hi-tensile wire and I love it. My ranch has over 30 miles of fence and as I replace the old barbed wire, I'm putting up smooth hi-tensile. No more barbed on this place. There is a guy in Texas that sells the blue driver.
@@westonandelin4556 It is funny to read that you are switching to high tensile wire as that is just standard here in NZ and has been for decades. It's even available in a Double Life version that is made especially for coastal areas but everyone uses it. A little more but bugger all. You don't really see anyone using barb wire anymore. I think there may even be rules now regarding its use for animal safety reasons.
@@peterdykzeul3074 The more research I do, it seems everyone but the USA uses smooth hi-tensile. I'm the only guy using it in my area for sure, but I feel like I'm ahead of the game.. I've also been contracting jobs here and there as I get them. I would love to spend a few months fencing with some Kiwis to learn from the pros.
Another great "fencing around he world" video guys ... cool to see
Thanks!
I don't even know how your channel showed up in my feed, but I am loving the content. Whudathunk fence building would be so entertaining & educational?
That's quite the compliment!
I ALWAYS get a kick out of your posts!
Welcome to Scotland guys. Great idea to do a tour. Great gate latch. USA USA🇺🇸
Im 56 years old and that gate latch is all i have ever known here in the UK.
USA Already has his latches like that.... Good luck getting heat pumps in the UK...
@@nc3826 Someone's salty about a latch
good luck, latching on to, something relevant to contribute, mate....
@@nc3826 Good luck getting shot on mass.
Great video guys
Thanks G!
10:30 The American accent changed when he was drinking Irn Bru.... I'm not sure if it was alcoholic Irn Bru or it was cold.. but the speech was drooling!!!... 😂😂
Greetings from sunny Florida. Let me just say...there are some critiques you can make about some short-cuts my company forces me to take...but hole depth is not something that i will compromise on. And you can ask my boss, getting me to dry-pack is lke pulling teeth. I refuse to dry pack in almost all situations. Drives my boss nuts. 😂
Love from Scotland lads
Kinda reminds me of days years ago working on a pile driving crew. Big stuff then and there wasn't much that would stop the pole from going full depth of 20-30 ft.
I thought we had hard workers in the states , these dudes have shorts shorts , tapped ankles like a football player , and legs the size of those tree trunks . These boys are working
In my local paper a fencing firm were advertising for workers "There is a post for you at Fences R us"
"
His head moves with the striker
The most common feedback that I get for Irn Bru from international visitors is "liquid bubblegum" !
Huh, that actually makes sense.
I'm a sassenach, and I agree. 👍
Those no clip T post are awesome
That stretcher, I've used 2 2X4's with bolts and stretched woven and barbed wire. Obviously Rory knows his stuff about fencing.
He does indeed!
I've used one of these epic post driving machines a few times. You need to be careful to not explode the tops of the posts.
Thanks for another great video of working outside and enjoying what you do ... this time, from a Scottish perspective. As I enjoy my 7-Up and PediaLite cocktail, I wonder about Mark's "Ensure" comment ... from the same Mark who admitted he was still huffing and puffing 45 minutes after a little jog. Hmmm. Sounds like Grampy-Mark to me.
Right?! That's what I'm saying!
I'm pretty sure with the size and depth of those posts that lil brace is just to make him feel good. It'll add strength for sure but you'll already need the unstoppable force to move that post.
Irn-Bru's Adrian Troy, marketing director at AG Barr, said: “Throughout history there has been one thing that we can’t seem to agree on - what does Irn-Bru taste like?” One thing we do know for sure - we all agree it tastes phenomenal.”
There you go!
Scotland the only country on earth where irn bru out sells coke,,,,fact,@@SWiFence
My father was born in Lockerbie so this was pretty cool :)
Man, I miss fencing..did my farm, and then my lifestyle block by hand due to the terrain, and then my sons land, and then my partners land....its hard work, but its satisfying when its all straight, tight and finished.. off to Australia to do more by hand, no tractor
Hello to Rory, used to go to school at Lockerbie, primary school at Boreland. I wear shorts in winter as well, might be a Lockerbie thing....
Or you're a postman...
@@sarkybugger5009 true, could even be a postman in Lockerbie
Irn Brew used to be advertised with the words "Made in Scotland, from Girders". The adverts are funny.
I leave my fencing until later in the year, too many haggis around in the spring. Guys brave wearing shorts like.
Impressive .
The closed captions are pretty handy when the Scottish guy speaks.
Nice one
This type of video is the reason I started watching youtube, educational, informative, and quite funny in its delivery. I've lived in Canada and America, and yes, Americans are pretty "lazy" when it comes to building things, it's nice to see people from different countries coming together to learn new ways to do their jobs. Well done to the people involved in this video, well done indeed.
Wow .. my area where I live used to have names like cedar ridge ..cedar grove .. but they chopped them all down in the 1800s for fence posts .. you have to search the woods to find a cedar tree and may just find a stump
As my late father always said, if you going to do a job, do it properly the first time or don`t do it at all!
My late dad too. Never a truer saying. Unfortunately, that work ethos seems to be disappearing, rapidly. Corner cutting and 'me me me/I want it now' to blame.
Those clipex posts are pretty cool,
They are!
as we watch this video, we too, are partaking in the bru.
Aussie farmers are starting to collaborate and pitching in on multi farm boundary fences to combat wild dog and dingo attacks, the clipex is the major player with many of these combined ventures.
Great idea as internal fencing can be much cheaper but I think floodways and creeks could be a maintenance p.i.t.a lately.
By how big those fence posts are I was thinking they were to use aircraft cable for the fence wire.
Curious what size bit they are using on the drill?
Occasionally here we drill a full 40mm hole when trying to put posts in rock (same as our steel post size)
Never attempted a smaller hole before
Hope you enjoyed Scotland 🏴
We did! Bit cold when we were there, though...
Great team Rory has there, doing a hard job well, efficiently & also seemingly still smiling. As for the shorts in winter, that's why us Scots have hairy legs - well hairy everything normally :)
😂
Irn Bru is great for hangovers
And this is why Scotland is the greatest country in the world remember Bannockburn.
These guys are getting wired into the work
What a great set up and what a guy is Rory , youd have to work like ten men to keep up .
These days i work like ten men
Nine dead , one dieing .
👍🇬🇧
I hear that! 🤣
Years ago I was on a farming and ranching forum and one member there was bragging about how his automatic post driver could do a steel post in less than 5 seconds and how he could easily do1000+ posts a day with it.
I got him talking about his work and he said he charged $2 post. (No wire stringing) Then got him to name what machine he had. Turns out cost about $4000 at the time.
I was then wondering who needed that many posts done in a day and he said he did contract work for large ranches and farmers that wanted to either move fence lines or put new ones around fields and he often did contracts that were 3 to 10 thousand posts per job.
I finished by asking what sort of crook charges people $6000 to $20,000 to do a job with a machine that the landowner could have bought for $4000 and done themselves while they were stringing the wires themselves since he didn't do that part.
I got kicked out of the forum for making him expose himself for what he was. 😐
@Nicky L Because the people hiring him could have spent $4000, had their own post-pounding machine for life, plus paid someone well to help them out.
It's actually one of the biggest issues contractors everywhere are now facing. They have priced themselves so far out of the reality that any competent person that can do basic math can easily see that buying their own machinery to do a job is often way way cheaper than hiring something done.
Then to make it even harder, all of us who went that route to get some job done tend to be pretty friendly with everyone else who did the same and now all of us have networks to loads of equipment that costs us little to nothing to have access to.
love all these videos and i have never installed a fence ...yet! Super funny - "you'll see me in pants tonight!" bahaha pants are underwear in UK...lol cheeky
I interact with lots of fencers around that area, not bumped into Rory yet though
The edit on this vid is 1st class
Our editor loves this comment!
I’m in shorts 365 hate summer. Omaha Nebraska had cold recently I walk 2 miles every day to keep 73 year old legs in shape to bowhunt whitetails. takes an hour had a gentleman roll up asking did I want ride. Actual was minus 5 or 10 WC -40. I declined really love the adrenaline rush and solitude. He says you can get frostbite after 10 minutes. I had been out for about 45 and was toasty. Saw him at nearby church couple days later same guy same car. German Irish have always been last cold but (curse) first hot. Those are some serious fence posts
We have started using recycled plastic fence post in NZ now, no need for insulators on electric wires.
In case anyone is wondering, the old advertising line for Irn Bru was "made in Scotland from girders".
Hahahahaha ,"there Scottish not pirates " ,that was funny .
Yeah, pirates are English haha. (in context of accent/dialect) anyway.
Great video 👍 Lockerbie only 40miles from me
Never seen this channel till today. Now I’m late for work. And I don’t care
didnt think id find ma home town on here lol
Irn bru is legendary.
Thank you for the video and for visiting Scotland. Irn Bru outsells coca cola in Scotland and the primary use is a cure for a hangover
A note on the Scottish countryside and clever gate design: you are allowed to walk/hike anywhere in the countryside (yes even through farmers fields, provided you are respectful and don’t disturb livestock) through the Right to Roam Act. One interesting thing you’ll notice is the many gates and fences that you’ll pass through. I’ve never seen so many clever gate designs made out of some many different materials. Some as simple as a heavy rock that you need to pick up and move, others resembling a multiple-step mouse trap. I feel like anyone watching videos about different ways to build fences would really get a kick out of that 😂
Respect people that have to work and live in the country side when you see the litter and human waste that’s left behind from these right to roam people you wouldn’t have it in your back garden 🐀🐀🐀
I would like a link to the strainers he was using
Interesting, he's using a kiwi Strainite chisel and possibly wire strainers as well.
