    @dehavenfamilyfarm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am looking forward to the next video. I do have a question about the mesh that was used: each horizontal strand has little "v's" in it every 6 or 8 inches. Wouldn't that "v" relax over time and cause the mesh to relax? Nice video as always Josh!!

    • @farmfencesolutionsllc
      @farmfencesolutionsllc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is called a tension curve, and being high tensile steel, it will not relax over time. It helps the wire absorb thermal expansion/contraction, as well as impacts from animals, trees, and vehicles. Great question!

    Just my opinion and I personally have allot of room to grow. The Steel appears to be sleek and possibly be easier if he has welding rig & experience, seems more permanent. However I seem to prefer the wood as it gives that traditional look, as a note I have never built that type of fencing. I will definitely try it on our new acreage, all the crews & their methods are definitely impressive it was hard to pick which team was more favorable. In the end its the Hard workers that will come out on top and the ones that have a love for their craft. Absolutely one of my favorite vlogs series..!!!

    @Stoney Ridge Farmer
    Not a fence guy but I had a thought. I don't know what you think but you can probably ask the Tornado Wire people.
    It occurred to me that a triangular "gusset" could be tied into the fencing wire at the transition posts. It seems to me that would help maintain even tension across all of the horizontal strands. Would that advantage outweigh the disadvantage of not having a continuous run and having additional splices in the fence?

    • @farmfencesolutionsllc
      @farmfencesolutionsllc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The even tension in undulating terrain problem has already been solved by Tornado Wire. Believe it or not, they have cracked the code to the magic formula for perfectly even line wire tension. Great idea though!

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So...some fence builders put post in "Square to the world" and some "plumb or level" depends on what the builder and or land owner wants. I personally prefer level or plumb with a level...not with the lay of the land. While driving down the highway pay attention to fences..you'll see all sorts!

    • @farmfencesolutionsllc
      @farmfencesolutionsllc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      On steep terrain, you lose post height on the angle. In other words, there is less post in the ground if it's level, and not perpendicular to the ground. A driven post is considerably stronger, and much faster than a dug in post.

Box frame with x wires is best form at rise point but we use heavy post that’s deeper, we use steal railroad sleeper. Very interesting with clipping some or every stran of wire, we have sheep n especially XB or crossbred they will test fence. Having every wire stran clip will stop XB pushing through the fence.

    I noticed on the previous competition, when they drove a staple into the post, the whole post vibrated. I suppose this is indicative when you use a post driver vs a hole with tamping. The post just isn't as tight. Now they say, the post will eventually tighten up after a summers worth of rain. Also notice they were using light grade fencing material. Lot different from the stuff we got from Sheffield Steel in the '70s. Imported from China? LoL

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      what you see is the post vibrating because it's a 10 foot post driven nearly 5 feet into the ground...it's not shaking in the hole...it's tight as a banjo string in the hole....digging and tamping isn't as good because you're just mushing the loose dirt that you dug out...there is not loose dirt here brotha...these post are firmly planted in the ground

      @@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yeah, I suppose driven poles are ok. I was brought up with the holes mostly by hand in hard clay and tamping them in with a 1x1/2 board. Dad never settled for anything less than railroad cross ties and telephone poles he got from the REA for corner posts. Brought back one that was 3ft diameter one time !!!! Took 2 whole days to set that one !! Used our Ford 8n to stretch the woven, then a set of rope pullys specifically designed for barbed wire. (got a 4 inch scar on my left arm where the wire snapped at the other end and coiled back on me though. Could've been worse) Strung a lot of fence on those 60 acres back in '70, and they still stand today.

      Think of the tight wire like a bow and arrow...it's constantly pulling at the posts...take a moment to look at all the fencing on the side of the road as you drive...you'll see braces and corner posts heaved up out of the ground all over the place from poorly constructed fence

      @@StoneyRidgeFarmer Furthermore, I think Id prefer to have metal fencing as the wood would eventually rot I would think. I have had two privacy fences built on my little plot of ground and they BOTH did shoddy work, but I paid for it. The fences rotten and went out of alignment. Ive learned a valuable lesson, only NOW I cant have it rebuilt, no money lol lol

    I got some hills that you practically need a ladder to climb. And then you have the trees.
