- In Part 7 of Pasture Project’s video series on fencing, we focus on the New Zealand fence knot. Thanks to Kent Solberg (Sustainable Farming Association of MN & Seven Pines Farm and Fence) for his contributions to this video.

Awesome! Thank you!
What a very good instructor, thank-you. The Kiwi accent was very thuck, but managed to git it.
Def not a kiwi accent at all haha
Well done ,keep looking to New Zealand fencing methods ,and tools ie Hayz wire stainer ect and you won't go wrong.
making work out of it, go Texas repair unfit and never look back!
Strainrite tools would be better than Hayes. Also NZ made but better stuff.
Excellent
Thank you, 😊🙏
Thank you
How would you go about straining the hot wire up if you're not leaving enough room for fence strainers in-between the insulator and the knot? or do you use something different to stain it up.
You strain it at the other end
Im using 2mm high tensile wire for my espalier tiers and the run is 13m long. Im using a ratchet cog strainer at one end to enable tightening. The wire runs through 6 equally spaced L Brackets for support between my fruit trees. What is the best way to terminate this type of wire at the start where its attached to a galvanised L bracket with a hole in it not a post; and then around the shaft of the ratchet. I find it very hard to twist. And I wish I had one of those horizontal spinning feed mechs......I made a hell of a mess when I tried to feed out the first 13m of wire! It only took me an hour to untangle.
how long does it take for that snapped off piece to equal a full roll of wire?
Brill thanks
this might be handy
What gauge wire are you using.
It's 2.5mm high tensile wire
Nice... Why do you only put 3 wraps at the post end and 5 wraps at the insulator end?
That first loop that goes over, under, over in the termination knot is what has the holding power on that side of things. Since that is a bit cumbersome for the other side (facing away from you while going around a small, non-stationary object) you rely on the strength of more tight wraps.
The post end has a back hand hitch with 3 wraps. Only wraps are used to tie off the insulator because of its shape, so it needs 5 to do the job.
