Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to do things on our farms. I grew up in a farm, but was never got to do much like this. As a female, my Dad thought we woman should be in the kitchen or house. But now I have my own farm and I'm trying to do this with my husband. My husband has never been on a farm, so we are learning together. Thank you so much!!!
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I did two sections of fence, 100 linear feet, by myself! That was one of the most painstaking jobs I’ve ever done! That extra hand to hold the fence up while you secure the fence to the first fence post is invaluable...
Wow, great job putting up that nice tall wire fence. Just what I need for the deer eat everything. Also need a few guys to put the post in second after 811. Enjoyed the good instruction, Thank YOU!
1) Awesome garden space...well played! 2) Fencing pliers! It took me a bit to get a hang of them, but they become your best friend, especially holding staples perfectly in place while you pound away and sink it in one or two strokes with a 3lb hammer. They also help twisting T-Post clips into place quick and easy. Glad to see you have the clip twister tool already! Took me a couple of years to stumble upon that one. 3) Always wrap your fencing around any post and tie it onto itself, that provides the most stable structure for the whole fencing system. It takes a little bit to cut out the wires and any fencing hardware already installed, but it will last you a lifetime. Thanks for sharing your efforts!!
thanks for posting we put fence up last year and the wire was put on the inside of the posts and I am sure glad we did because our goats and sheep love to rub along the fence pushing constantly and the fence has held up very well. good audio and presentation thank you again
I am so relieved to find this video! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! Finally will be able to put an affordable fence up for my dog and have peace of mind along with security!
Nice video. I bought my fencing material a couple years ago. I haven't put any up, day job keeps getting the way, plus still cleaning fence rows. All from Tractor Supply, 8 rolls of 4"x4" x5' x 330' goat fencing, 22 rolls of barbed wire, 410 t-post, 20 cross post, they gave me the clips, I purchased 50 cross-ties at a railroad repurposing site. Yeap, looking at a lot of work fencing off my 9 acre Cajun Homestead. Again, love video.
Same at TSC here. Buy the t-posts and they have a huge barrel full of those bags of clips and they let you help yourself to them. Better pricing on the fencing, too.
Well done video. Thank you! Doing this type fence & needed especially the stretching part. Folding wire without gloves part looked risky but that's a minor point. Good video angles & production.
Wow, I wish I'd have known about the clip bender in 2012 when I put up 2 acres of fence around my yard for the dog! 1500' wire fence clipped on by hand with small channel lock pliers. Talk about your sore hands! Also I bought my fence at Tractor Supply and they provided free clips at that time. More than enough!
❤ thank you. I also have 2 acres and we need to fence it in because we have a wold donkey problem. They destroy everything! Do you think it can be done for 2,000?
You're going to have to figure out how long the fence is going to be in total. Then you'll know how many feet or rolls of fence to get. Then see how many t-posts to get spaced apart 7 to 8 feet.
Thank you for your video. Just what I needed to see to start my dog fence. I've been looking for an easy cheap way and I think you have answered my question. Thank you.
From experience, carry a long telescoping mechanic’s magnet with you. I know, you will drop the tool that bends the clips on the other side of the fence when attaching the clips. A lot easier to use the magnet to retrieve the tool than walk around the fence. Tractor supply sells the tool to bend the clips and it is a one piece with several different size holes in it for different gauge wires. When twisting the clips, the tool fits between the fence squares as you twists the clip, which is why I probably dropped it manipulating the tool, but it works. Your wife is a lot quieter than mine! We do projects together all the time! Mine always flapping her pie hole telling me that holding a beer and trying to use tools is not smart!! 15:53
I used t post, Lol, Then used the tension pf wire already rolled up, as I went down slope, kept it off ground, had to pull with my hands and let the welded wire pull hard enough to rest past the knpb on the t post. Man it actually worked. Then tying it off with bale wire and u can use techniques that will make it all straighten out!!! I was on budget but it looks good!!!
Those wire nails on the end-posts will not hold that fence over time. As the wood ages they will loosen. It's standard to wrap the fence around the end-posts and tie the wires back to themselves. Good video though and great audio.
Have to agree... taking that gate catch off might be a pain but I guarantee it's less of a pain than having that end tear off and having to re-wire it. If you really didn't want to wrap it around, you could use some big U-bolts, but that's a lot of extra $$ when you really only need another 2' of fence length.
Defiantly wrap and tie on both ends. If you had a pair of fencing pliers you could just cut around the gate latch. You could also use some duct clamps to help secure the first post. Save the good ties for the bottom/top wire to make sure it is secure.
You did see the size of the wire nails? I have those nails on spit rail fence and I can tell you they don't come out unless the wood rots. And that post, well it's not rotting any time soon.
Hey there Pete, nice instructional video. I'm putting up this type of fence, hopefully soon. This video helped a bunch with what I need to do. Awesome information!
Thank you for this very informative video. I will be putting up a fence this weekend and your video gave good tips and makes me feel like this wont be such a hard job for a woman to do :)
Right, we call it come along too. In a narrow space where you cannot deploy your pickup or jeep's front winch, this is the good stuff to use. I used it on more than one occasion to pull my side yards' tilting wood fences back before I drove some braces into the ground to support them.
I know this video is from 6 yrs. ago... price on those clips this 2024 is the same now😮$2.6ish some cents in Lowe's...thank you for the teaching on how to with those clip posts 👌🏼really thank you!
Just a quick suggestion... great little tool with the 2x4's! Instead of pulling it tight with the winch, just pull it tight with the tractor! With a hydrostatic trans, you can literally inch it forward as slowly as you want!
I brush coated the bottom portion of the posts with asphalt roof coating mixed with a little diesel fuel to thin it out a bit before I put the posts in the ground.
I had not seen a tool like that, but for the price, I will keep using my fence pliers that also cut and hammer wire. A suggestion, you can take an old metal bucket or paint can and make a hanger for it, store your staples and clips in it and fencing tools. It will hang on the wire so you dont have to keep bending over to get something, and easy to store in barn by hanging it too! I would have wrapped the wire around the post just cutting out around the locking thing. I do really like that fenced area!!!! Great job!!!
T posts sold in my area include the clips, but I suspect a lot of people don't realize it.. Might want to check to make sure you're not buying clips that are actually included. Also, while that clip tool does look pretty slick, for decades I've been installing the clips with a small screwdriver. A screwdriver shorter than the height of 2 fence wire rows works best ... ie if your horizontal fence wires are 4" apart, a screwdriver of 7" or even 6" works good.
Pete B. Totally free according to our store manager they are so cheap tsc treats it as a Loss leader of sorts. I’m sure they would appreciate the business if you did buy there but I never have (because I buy from a supplier directly) and I have a sack the size of a pillow case full of smaller bags.
Just to add. You do get what you pay for. Some of the tsc clips from Franklin industry are a little wonky and misformed but still useable. Any that are rejected I save for odd projects like hanging bird net in the garden or our chicken coop has a fence roof that is hung up by clips that I rejected but saved
A certain number of clips come with each post now at tractor supply, but you have to “remind” the employees, as they are instructed to load your t posts, and let you go.
Great video! This helps me out a ton. I will be installing one in a couple days only thing is that I don’t believe I will be able to use the pulley to tighten the fence I may just have to wing it. Thanks for all the info and I’m buying the clips at Lowe’s!
I have a 5 acre property to start my homestead. Do you have a video how you planned it out ? For the fencing also what size metal stakes did you use? I want to do my entire property like this
I built my fences here in Oregon , picked up my wire fencing at Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Wilco, but no matter who I got my fence from the clips all came with the T-post depending on the t post length I got it would vary on how many clips I got , 4ft I got 3 ea 6 ft I got 4 ea and 8 ft I got 5 ea
I used Welded Wire fence roll, 72 in. x 100 ft. It's $143.00 at Tractor supply: www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-welded-wire-72-in-x-100-ft?cm_vc=-10005
Where do you get the long t-posts? Longest easily available ones 'round here are 8 feet, and we'd need about 14-16 feet to get under the frost layer while also keeping out the deer.
I’m going to be doing this very soon and I noticed that you are pulling from the post that connects to the gate and there is no H brace and that post didn’t move a bit, so I guess if you put it in deep enough it’s not gonna move? Thanks
Aug 9, 2018 What a great looking fence!! Your video was a help in my learning how to use a clip bender. Hubby & I are doing an extra fenced in area for our two mini horses. Thank you very much. I'm sure you'll have a great orchard one day...BTW it's true that Tractor Supply does not charge for the clips... Kay in NC
id love to understand, why use tposts and not just all wooden posts? My only thought could be the t-posts being cheaper at the time? Right now they are the same exact price as wooden posts.
I see the zoning I spector is looking over your fencing installation! Lol Oh BTW...get your fencing at Tractor supply, or Rural King! Far cheaper than HD & LOWES
Thank you for sharing very helpful, i am looking to build a cat fence and didn't want to spend a lot, I like the T post wire fencing option and then can design something for the top.
Not sure if you mentioned it yet but would you please tell me what you coated your treated wood post bottoms with prior to putting them in your holes. Also, did you use your 12" auger?
I treated the bottom of my posted with Henry #201 assault roof coating mixed with a little diesel fuel to thin it out just a little so I can brush it on. And yes I used a 12 inch auger for the holes.
When you was tightening with ratchet strap you should’ve tied the strap to the to the middle, top, and the bottom of the boards instead of just the middle and it would’ve tightened all of the fence
I would measure the total distance between the round wood posts and divide it by the number of t-posts I was going to use and try to keep the space of about 6 1/2 feet.
I would gladly pay 2 to 3 times the price at Home Depot for better quality than go to Lowe's and have to return their crap. Lowe's used to be a good store but now all they sell is sh!tty stuff. I've had to return almost everything I've bought from Lowe's All their power tools except DeWalt are sh!t. Save yourself from a huge headache or just buy a big bottle of aspirn and your favorite booze. You're gonna need it. Great vid! I love the hubby and wife teamwork.
As Chelsea noted, what can be done when the ground is not flat? Mine rises approx 6" to 8" inches in places. My posts provide for a 6" gap under the fencing once it is installed thus I have set the posts with 4.5' above ground with plans on using 4' no climb fence. Will this type of fence not follow the slight rises and falls of the property? Is there a way to adapt the fence for this?
Pete, How deep did you put your 6" post that you mounted your 10' gate on to. Did you go with 8 foot post with 3 feet into the ground. It seems like a lot of people only put their post into the ground 2 feet and that seems not deep enough to keep it solid.
your video is one of the more understandable videos I have yet seen. However, we only want a 5 foot high fence. So question, do you have a video how you set those corner posts? what is the height and the diameter of each of those corrners and construction? How far apart did you place the T posts? they look around 4ft? 5 ft? apart?... Thanks

I'm not sure were you buy your t-post from. I get mine from tractor supply and the post clips are free with post purchases. 25 per package.

Refreshing my knowledge here. Lowes is a winner on this project. Plus its much closer to me living out in the woods. Worth driving 35 miles.
It must be nice to install fence on flat ground!
Yeah with this type of fence, it has to be flat.
Yes, it's very nice to install on flat level ground😉.
Tell me about it ... I stretched by hand pulling on my back bank , nothing flat about it .. lol
Omg ikr. I live in the Appalachian mountains on the border of PA and NY
I have done both and you are not kidding. So much easier. When the hill was straight it was easy.
I did two sections of fence, 100 linear feet, by myself! That was one of the most painstaking jobs I’ve ever done! That extra hand to hold the fence up while you secure the fence to the first fence post is invaluable...
👍
Need to get yourself a good pair of Irwin Grips, they're the best for an extra pair of hands for us solo folk
We have wrapped around a corner post to help with that before.
Wow, great job putting up that nice tall wire fence. Just what I need for the deer eat everything. Also need a few guys to put the post in second after 811. Enjoyed the good instruction, Thank YOU!

Your method is very simple and helping. The way you explain much appreciated
Thank you
I have to say, I have watched a few video on this subject and your is the best. Thank you
Thank you 👍
I just checked quite a few other youtubers link for wire fence installation and I think this is the easiest way for me to do. Thank you!
Awesome, I'm glad the video was helpful.
ok your video was the best!! i loved how simple it is. i have deer eating the daylily buds on my farm
I just bought T-Posts at Tractor Supply Company and they gave me the clips for free. Nice perk. Thanks for sharing with us.
👍
If you have a Orchelins farm store near you they also give you free clips.

Great video! Sensible, cost effective, and efficient to build! Thank you! Appreciate your work!
Thank you so much, for your nice & kind video! You helped me in saving big money! I was planning to hire a company. God Bless you! Have a Happy Life!
Thank you and God bless you too.
Glad I found this, I bought this fence to put around my garden. Not many tutorials on this. Thanks
We're buying a farm. This video was helpful and entertaining.
learned a ton just in how you lay fence out first before attaching to posts.. thanks

Welcome to East Texas brother. Good video.
Thank you for making this! I had a giggle at 4:02 because it sounded like you said "I got a wench..." instead of winch. :)
Thank you for this very informative video. I will be putting up a fence this weekend and your video gave good tips and makes me feel like this wont be such a hard job for a woman to do :)
That's great thank you 👍
Funny looking winch , we call that a come along here.
Right, we call it come along too. In a narrow space where you cannot deploy your pickup or jeep's front winch, this is the good stuff to use.
I used it on more than one occasion to pull my side yards' tilting wood fences back before I drove some braces into the ground to support them.
I know this video is from 6 yrs. ago... price on those clips this 2024 is the same now😮$2.6ish some cents in Lowe's...thank you for the teaching on how to with those clip posts 👌🏼really thank you!
That stake idea is great! I'm always fighting stuff doing it alone.
Just a quick suggestion... great little tool with the 2x4's! Instead of pulling it tight with the winch, just pull it tight with the tractor! With a hydrostatic trans, you can literally inch it forward as slowly as you want!
Thanks for this i have to install a fence like this for my rottweiler thanks for helping me keep my dog👍
👍
Sir.. what’s that black thing that protects the foot of the wood pole. Thank you.
I brush coated the bottom portion of the posts with asphalt roof coating mixed with a little diesel fuel to thin it out a bit before I put the posts in the ground.
“It’s just my wife here, be nice to have some guys help. Anyways…” 😂😂😂
It’s just me here lol me myself and I putting in a fence wish me luck please. I’m not a spring chicken lol
Same, and I'm the 70 year old wife. 😂
Yeah, that was kind of cold 🥶
Beautiful piece of property...I wish you many years of happiness....
Thank you 👍
love that perfectly flat land, no problem, no rocks, no problem, no livestock, no problem.
I am grateful for that.
Thank you sir. Im putting one up in central Texas.

We’re just starting our TH-cam and homestead and this help us fencing in our chickens 👏
#littletailsfarm 🐐 🐣
Good video and beautiful Dobie!
Thank you very much!
Also can use rachet straps if ur stretching it to a corner post.. I would a reckon for anyone wondering.
In my town I found tpost less expensive at tractor supply and every 5 pack of tpost you buy you get a free bag of wire clips.
Thanks will check it out
Great instructive video for my future fencing project.
T posts sold in my area include the clips, but I suspect a lot of people don't realize it.. Might want to check to make sure you're not buying clips that are actually included.
Also, while that clip tool does look pretty slick, for decades I've been installing the clips with a small screwdriver. A screwdriver shorter than the height of 2 fence wire rows works best ... ie if your horizontal fence wires are 4" apart, a screwdriver of 7" or even 6" works good.
Tractor supply gives those clips away for free with the fencing
Tractor supply gives you all the clips you want for free. The come in huge bags and are out in the yard area by the fence
pjmtts Really? Or do you have to buy the t-post from them to get the free clips.
Pete B. Totally free according to our store manager they are so cheap tsc treats it as a
Loss leader of sorts. I’m sure they would appreciate the business if you did buy there but I never have (because I buy from a supplier directly) and I have a sack the size of a pillow case full of smaller bags.
Just to add. You do get what you pay for. Some of the tsc clips from Franklin industry are a little wonky and misformed but still useable.
Any that are rejected I save for odd projects like hanging bird net in the garden or our chicken coop has a fence roof that is hung up by clips that I rejected but saved
Ok very cool, thank you
pjmtts
All fence sellers use to give the clips when you purchased the wire. Now you have buy them.
A certain number of clips come with each post now at tractor supply, but you have to “remind” the employees, as they are instructed to load your t posts, and let you go.
Great video! This helps me out a ton. I will be installing one in a couple days only thing is that I don’t believe I will be able to use the pulley to tighten the fence I may just have to wing it. Thanks for all the info and I’m buying the clips at Lowe’s!
Thanks, I hear tractor supply gives you the clips if you buy their t-posts.
Pete B. Ok, I will check them out first. Thanks
Great channel. I just stumbled upon your videos. Nicely done.
Thank you 👍
Fence guys make this look like a science, You make it look like the average guy can do it.
Thank you
Dang! All the fencing videos are done on nice level ground. My property is up and down.
You need knotted wire fencing.
Thanks for the instruction. Answered all my questions.👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome 👍
Nice idea ser...im in the phillipines...good job ser...
Thank you
Love the video we bought t posts at tractor Supply and they gave us clips
👍

If you go to Tractor Supply the 2x4x100 roll of 14ga is $70.00 and a bag of 1000 clips is free!
I used Welded Wire fence roll, 72 in. x 100 ft. It's $143.00 at Tractor supply: www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-welded-wire-72-in-x-100-ft?cm_vc=-10005

Welded wire mesh fence factory in China. Any inquiry contact by sales6@hbhengshi.com
How do you go about adding more fence once the roll has ended? Just fold it over staple to the post you just stapled the last strenched fence to?
Nice work buddy thanks for sharing 👍
God bless
Thank you and God bless you too 👍
Where do you get the long t-posts? Longest easily available ones 'round here are 8 feet, and we'd need about 14-16 feet to get under the frost layer while also keeping out the deer.
Hold on let me just grab my tractor 🚜 👍🏽 wait a minute , I don’t have one!😂 nice video guys 😊
I’m going to be doing this very soon and I noticed that you are pulling from the post that connects to the gate and there is no H brace and that post didn’t move a bit, so I guess if you put it in deep enough it’s not gonna move? Thanks
You still may need to put a support, mine did move a little. You could do a post on a 45 degree into the ground and up against the vertical post. /|
Appreciate your response!
Aug 9, 2018 What a great looking fence!! Your video was a help in my learning how to use a clip bender. Hubby & I are doing an extra fenced in area for our two mini horses. Thank you very much. I'm sure you'll have a great orchard one day...BTW it's true that Tractor Supply does not charge for the clips... Kay in NC
Kay M Thank you
Rad 🤙🏼 I’ll be using this for my fence this year! Thanks for the video!
Awesome thanks 👍
Is there a video where you install the metal t-posts? I missed that part of the fence building.
You can use a manual t-post driver or a gas powered one. Here's the video I did installing the metal t-posts th-cam.com/video/zL4E7OfImfk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much! I really apreciate it. I'll do soon the same as you did! Thanks!
Good evening to you all
id love to understand, why use tposts and not just all wooden posts? My only thought could be the t-posts being cheaper at the time? Right now they are the same exact price as wooden posts.
T-posts will last longer and are much easier to put in the ground than wooden posts.
Thank you very much, i will be making use of this type fencing at our homestead
Awesome 👍
I see the zoning I spector is looking over your fencing installation! Lol
Oh BTW...get your fencing at Tractor supply, or Rural King! Far cheaper than HD & LOWES

Thank you for sharing very helpful, i am looking to build a cat fence and didn't want to spend a lot, I like the T post wire fencing option and then can design something for the top.
Thank you
I like it as well. You can also use some thin wood slats and weave it through the fencing if you want some more privacy
Thanks for the video! Awesome editing and filming.
Thank you 👍
Not sure if you mentioned it yet but would you please tell me what you coated your treated wood post bottoms with prior to putting them in your holes. Also, did you use your 12" auger?
I treated the bottom of my posted with Henry #201 assault roof coating mixed with a little diesel fuel to thin it out just a little so I can brush it on. And yes I used a 12 inch auger for the holes.
When you was tightening with ratchet strap you should’ve tied the strap to the to the middle, top, and the bottom of the boards instead of just the middle and it would’ve tightened all of the fence
He didn't show it very well, but he clamped the fence to the post at the top, middle and bottom. Same net effect.

Good job.Thanks for sharing.
Nice job using a come-along to tighten the fence. I wonder if a winch on the front of a side-by-side would work too?
Yes with a rebar to help stretch evenly
Nice vid, I learned a lot. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Will this fence be strong and sturdy enough to keep 3 large dogs in?? Or would I need something stronger?
This fence should be plenty strong for dogs.
also our tposts came with free clips at Tractor Supply and Evans pipe.
Nice video, what is the interval your metal pole s
I would measure the total distance between the round wood posts and divide it by the number of t-posts I was going to use and try to keep the space of about 6 1/2 feet.
Great video. Thanks man. Keep it coming
Thanks, will do!
How much for fence and tposts how long is the chain fence. great job
I really don't remember the price but my orchard is 100' x 200' and most of the materials I used is in the description under the video.
Great Video! This video was extremely helpful. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
If you use a couple of nails to temporarily hold the fence in place, you don't have to hold on to it that much when you put the first fence nails in.
Q: may I ask what the cheapest/ least expensive option for buying this mesh wire fencing might be?
The fence I purchased is a welded wire 6ft high fence with 2"x4" squares and is pretty much the cheapest you can get.
great job. ill put up my fence
I would gladly pay 2 to 3 times the price at Home Depot for better quality than go to Lowe's and have to return their crap. Lowe's used to be a good store but now all they sell is sh!tty stuff. I've had to return almost everything I've bought from Lowe's All their power tools except DeWalt are sh!t. Save yourself from a huge headache or just buy a big bottle of aspirn and your favorite booze. You're gonna need it. Great vid! I love the hubby and wife teamwork.
As Chelsea noted, what can be done when the ground is not flat? Mine rises approx 6" to 8" inches in places. My posts provide for a 6" gap under the fencing once it is installed thus I have set the posts with 4.5' above ground with plans on using 4' no climb fence. Will this type of fence not follow the slight rises and falls of the property? Is there a way to adapt the fence for this?
Welded wire fence will not mold to the terrain, but horse fencing (no climb fence) and regular chain link fence does, but it is more expensive.
Looks great. I have an acre in Florida. How long would this wire last? It’s 2021 now!
Looks great
All the wire is galvanized and still looks the same as when I installed it. It should last a vary long time.
Pete, How deep did you put your 6" post that you mounted your 10' gate on to. Did you go with 8 foot post with 3 feet into the ground. It seems like a lot of people only put their post into the ground 2 feet and that seems not deep enough to keep it solid.
I used 10 foot posts and put them in the ground 3 feet. But no matter how high you want your posts, put them in 3 feet or they will not be stable.
Did you use the 2x4 parallel to the ground right next to your post to make it stronger.
What size post did you ue and why did you go higher than the fence?
The posts are 6 inch diameter tops and I built the fence 6ft tall and the t-post 8ft so I can add barbed wire along the top to keep the deer out.
your video is one of the more understandable videos I have yet seen. However, we only want a 5 foot high fence. So question, do you have a video how you set those corner posts? what is the height and the diameter of each of those corrners and construction? How far apart did you place the T posts? they look around 4ft? 5 ft? apart?... Thanks
My posts are 8ft apart.
