These guys are taking the joy of having to go out fixing fencing every week. Thanks, for how to build the best and longest-lasting fencing humanly possible.
The guys that won the fence off, did an absolute awesome job . Everything was so neat looking and everything just flowed right in place . With an amazing finished look !!! Thanks for taking us along and letting us watch, it was really interesting and I really enjoyed watching it . Thanks !!! 🤗👍❤️💫
Hey Luke and Josh, have you done a test comparing the strength of a H brace and diagonal brace? I thought I remembered a video of this but can't seem to find it! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
this is GREAT!! I'll wager none of those fellas and their fancy equipment ever had to do it the way I started, On a horse with two pack horses hauling supplies in the back country of Colorado above 8000 feet in elevation. Fence posts are where ya find them and good grass and water for the horses
interesting but nothing on the fencing competitions in NZ 10-15 days at the Mystery Creek field days. All done by hand or possibly with a chainsaw assist. Those were hard work
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and yes I think the fences look nice I think they all did a great job and enjoy the campfire I wish I was there too woo
I used to live in the lower 48 where frost was often not an issue,.. up here in Alaska the driven posts would be jacked out of the ground first year.. your fence would look like Dr Suess was involved.. Frost jacks fences.. in order to make a fence stay perfect for basically ever we use Helical piles .. just drill them below the frost line.. 8 feet deep and then your gold.. its all about LOCATION location location ..
Josh I watched this because, I thought it be boring but ,well done you. Very interesting content I'm a pretty decent finish carpenter and this holds as good as some great framing crews I've worked for with all of excellent carpenters doing tight joints and fine work loved the board-bending finesse good technique sweet outcome a pleasure to look at even the ground work showed attention to detail and results with long-term hold and stay put built right, well done y'all Best David
Great video Josh I think you should do more of this sort of thing, your a natural host mate. Whoud have loved an interview with the winners tho 👍 Cheers Trent
Hey Josh I been pondering this question for awhile. When would I need to use concrete for setting fence posts and do I need to use treated lumber? I notice that in just about every video i ever see about livestock fence they never use concrete but they do on privacy fence. I'm new to this all and have been watching your videos and learning lots. Thanks!
when ya dig a hole and put in a privacy fence...it's necessary...when you drive posts and build bracing systems like this it isn't. Driving the post into virgin ground saves you from having to use concrete. Two totally different grades of fencing my friend. Typical privacy fence isn't as strong and the posts are simple 4x4 posts. You need treated posts for anything that contacts earth or will be exposed to prolonged moisture
piles of great fencing info on the channel....look at the fencing playlist and you'll find every piece of info you'll ever want....you might have to dig for a little research
There are a ton of folks who lost fences due to the fires in SouthEast Nebraska and 20000 acres burned near Halsey, NE. If a contest could be held on this unique land…you could also see a win/win for ranchers as well. Something to consider. I know that sandy soil in a unique terrain has its own challenges. Would be fun all the way around and likely could get some great promotion and donations. Just some thoughts. Love to learn. Thank you for making quality content.
ranchers and farmer's have insurance my friend...this is about education and competition...I agree...it seems a waste from the outside looking in...however think of this as a textbook for fencers
Josh, I believe you did a driveway fence video with you adding some solar lights to it,and now I can’t find it. Can you send me the link to those lights plz?
Hi guys, great workmanship! not sure what wood you are using and how its has been treated? I'm curious how long would these posts last? 15/20/25yrs+? before they rot? I'm a cattle farmer in south africa and fencing has suddenly become very expensive..
tons of questions about this being a waste....this is teaching, learning and growing professionally. The fence materials are typically re-used or re-sold, however they are donated by the sponsors of this competition and educational weekend so it's not being wasteful any more than a medical book is wasteful to a medical student...it's all part of this career path my friend
We leave the fences up until next year’s Fall Fence Forum so that we can see how they aged. Once we tear them out, the posts and wire are saved and donated. Generally those materials will go to a natural disaster area like a tornado or hurricane, but we also use them for local groups and continued education. This year, we will build a new goat facility for the local FFA chapter with many of the materials from last year’s event. Of course, we do destroy our fair share of the materials, but that is the nature of the beast when we are learning!
No "Extreme" drivers? Those can drive a post like no other I have seen. ALMOST in to rock, but post usually quits before driver does. Top notch machines
hit up farmfencesolutions.com and ask them....give a ring and they'll help you out my friend..they have a wonderful network of contractors...tell them ya saw them on Stoney Ridge!
I will be building a stretch of fence for the new garden. I will make a video demonstrating this thing called a post hole digger if you’ve never seen one :-) cool video
Would be great if the techniques not already shown in earlier videos, could be demonstrated. For instance the barbed wire figure of 8. Netting figure 8, showing how to keep the gap correct. H brace wiring tied to avoid trapping risk. Personally I would like to know how to add a foot without an auger. P.S. specification of posts used. 10ft by 10inch strainer……
my friend...this is a fencing competition... it takes dedicated time to teach the techniques and during competition there's no time to slow down and teach...more teaching vids coming soon on the channel for sure
this is meant for education and competition...some see this as a waste...however it's about learning. Materials are donated by various sponsor companies and used for competition and education, much like a textbook in school or a piece of metal used in a high school metal shop class
16:56 Not really impressed with this fence, it turns 45 degree but there is no brace, and that thing they made inside the ground I don't think going to hold this post straight for long. Otherwise UNREAL competition, absolutely love watching this video.
Banging wood into the dirt, no thanks. Up here in the Pacific Northwest it just doesn't last. Concrete fence posts are the ticket up here. Cast them in 4" or 6" round thinwall PVC pipe with a piece of rebar down the center. Then just press them into the ground when its the soft and muddy time of year.
yep....show me a place where you can buy 1000 red cedar posts my friend? We've got treated posts that have been in the ground 40 years on dads farm...and we have locust post on grandpas farm that have been around for 65 years....it's all about what you can get to get the job done
yep...but the reality of fencing nowadays isn't digging and tamping in most cases. This isn't a contest of strength or endurance...it's a contest to build the best fence my friend....motorcross v/s mountain bike if ya get my drift

Love these fence competition! Unreal craftsmanship! Thanks for bringing it to us Josh 👍
you're very welcome! It was a great weekend learning with these fellas! Got me motivated to start building fences on the farm asap!!
Opening the gates of knowledge for fencing…..wooooo
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer quick question for ya! Have you ever heard of Drovers magazine?
That’s another great fence video!! Thank you again for your continued support. This industry is better because of you!
Thanks Luke!
Hey Luke and Josh, have you done a test comparing the strength of a H brace and diagonal brace? I thought I remembered a video of this but can't seem to find it! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Very interesting! I appreciate Mr Wilson walking us along the fence and explaining what made the Langley fence the winner.
I see why they won. Amazing looking work
this is GREAT!! I'll wager none of those fellas and their fancy equipment ever had to do it the way I started, On a horse with two pack horses hauling supplies in the back country of Colorado above 8000 feet in elevation. Fence posts are where ya find them and good grass and water for the horses
What’s the wager?
@@farmfencesolutionsllc maybe it's indigenous to the South but it means I'll bet
Josh buddy, I look forward to this annual video. What an art these guys make fencing. Big Thanks from our farm to yours in the Piedmont.
Thanks to all who attended and competed at FFF '22 Shout-out to American Timber and Steel Co, Inc. Loved the videos Josh!
Wooooo!!!
Yep! Beautiful! Big, great big difference in October 2022. You must be so darn proud!
great work by the fence builders. thanks for the video. have a great week!!
I want to see the rest of the fences, too!
Good video great distillation of a wide variety of skill. Thank you.!
Beautiful fences!
Favorite video you do each year! Thanks
More to come!
I might start my own local fence building competition on my property...could save me alot of work!🤣
Remember it is an annual competition but my property is next.
Genius
That was my first thought! Free fences!
Beautiful knots..
All those handy guys, does my heart good! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
I have to say I actually learned something today glad you showed us around
Great video!
Thats awesome. Great work to everyone.
I've built a lot of fence in my life (I'm 79 years) but these guys build a better fence by far.
glad to see that professionals still exist. haven’t been able to find any in Chattanooga.
That guide is a great idea to do while building a fence
Mr. Wilson has the coolest weatern hat! Love it!
interesting but nothing on the fencing competitions in NZ 10-15 days at the Mystery Creek field days. All done by hand or possibly with a chainsaw assist. Those were hard work
Wow. Thank you for this video.
Awesome fencing Brother
They need to have this on our new homestead! We need a lot of fencing and gates!
Man that is easier than way we did it yrs ago have a great day
Right in my back yard and I had absolutely no clue it existed!
Great video Josh
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and yes I think the fences look nice I think they all did a great job and enjoy the campfire I wish I was there too woo
That beats the way I've been doing it with a sledge hammer and some locust posts. Nice.
wow, this is serious stuff, enjoyed it Josh

Can't believe it's been a year since the last fence competition !!!!!!
Great video Josh
I think you should do more of this sort of thing, your a natural host mate.
Whoud have loved an interview with the winners tho 👍
Cheers Trent
Glad you enjoyed it
That's some mighty fancy fencing.
Mine didn't quite turn out that way.
Amazing show of knowledge, strength and skills! #Keepupthegreatwork
I have fencing to do this year excited to see this, although I am looking ay buying a Bell Tech auger middle Tn is Rocky
rent a post driver!!! You won't regret it! get with farmfencesolutions.com you''ll never dig and tamp again!!
We just did a five strand high tensile around 2400 feet six corners four ends cost was around 7000 bucks.

I’m coming
Do companies in the northeast instal fence in the winter? I’d love to do some fence work when the outdoor masonry slows down
Hi Brother Josh I'm sorry I haven't been watching you Brother but been very busy lately with work and different projects of my own

Watch and learn

Morning SRF
Are you sending out text me
This was a wonderful informational video….thank You! Do you know anyone in the the Pall Mall TN area that does this quality of work?
hit up farmfencesolutions.com and they'll know someone! Tell them ya saw the vid my friend

I vote for the unfinished guys.
Who won competition & where are they from? Thanks
did ya watch my friend? Langley Fence from NC and Farm Fence Solutions team won the overall...watch till the end and you'll see the full walk around
Oh how much fun is that!! I could use some of that!!! How do I hold one of those competition at my place?!?! Lol
Great video! Any fencing contractor contacts in eastern Alabama?
hit up farmfencesolutions.com and ask them....give a ring and they'll help you out my friend..they have a wonderful network of contractors...tell them ya saw them on Stoney Ridge!
Thank you!
Damn board stretcher
Great looking mortis fence
If they were doig this with hand tools it be a better competition. Maybe with four or five on a team, old school.
yep...but it would take 4 days to complete my friend
At least, I love your channel, I happy I subscribed
I will be building a stretch of fence for the new garden. I will make a video demonstrating this thing called a post hole digger if you’ve never seen one :-) cool video
lol...uh yep I've seen one buddy
I’ve got 15 acres that needs to be fenced, I would LOVE to host a fencing competition.
you wouldn't want 6 fencing contractors building exhibition fences on your place my friend...no two fences are the same here
What is that sealant?
I would be curious on the cost per ft?
Most can't afford to have this done. The old fashioned way works great.posthoe digger and a 40 pound steel post driver
Where are you guys located
Using a soil testing drill rig for posts?
a rock bit for pre drilling my brotha
Does the Langley fella (who won the competition) have a website??
google search it brotha and you'll find it in about 5 seconds...he's in NC
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I did google it, (that's why I asked) I keep getting a fence builder in BC Canada,, 😕
Give us a call at Farm Fence Solutions, and we’ll be happy to pass along Gavin’s contact info.
If you need fences built on the farm, next year you could host a competition and get some free labor!!!😳
Where is your food Fridays. I miss. Those kind of videos. Hope all is well. Have a good one
more coming soon!! I've been on the road for 4 of the last 8 weeks
If I had all the millions in equipment these guys use, I'd hire it done, sit and drink whiskey.
and if you don't have millions you can rent it from farmfencesolutions.com and get the job done my friend! Woooo!!
So Sticks was judging stick fence with sticks. Got it.
fred's ridn' fred's ridn't fred
It's a pity that they just put random fences in the middle off the field, some guy could host the competition om his land and get a new fence put up
Would be great if the techniques not already shown in earlier videos, could be demonstrated. For instance the barbed wire figure of 8. Netting figure 8, showing how to keep the gap correct. H brace wiring tied to avoid trapping risk. Personally I would like to know how to add a foot without an auger. P.S. specification of posts used. 10ft by 10inch strainer……
my friend...this is a fencing competition... it takes dedicated time to teach the techniques and during competition there's no time to slow down and teach...more teaching vids coming soon on the channel for sure
Hope these get utilized where they are?

Hot Damm awesome America 🇺🇸 fencing
Running a track machine from the ground controls, real smart, must not car about running over himself.
Hi..... Josh nice to see you love watching your videos 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
16:56 Not really impressed with this fence, it turns 45 degree but there is no brace, and that thing they made inside the ground I don't think going to hold this post straight for long. Otherwise UNREAL competition, absolutely love watching this video.
the bracing on that corner pull is pretty standard in the industry my friend ....glad ya enjoyed the vid for sure!
This competition sounds like something Tom Sawyer came up with.....
This makes me not want to build a fence by hand
lol...well my brotha...rent yourself a post driver farmfencesolutions.com
Banging wood into the dirt, no thanks. Up here in the Pacific Northwest it just doesn't last. Concrete fence posts are the ticket up here. Cast them in 4" or 6" round thinwall PVC pipe with a piece of rebar down the center. Then just press them into the ground when its the soft and muddy time of year.
we also build pipe fence on my farm
Let see u billed that in rocky ground
I aint no cowboy. Maybe a potato boy. 22:36
be kind sir
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Im misplaced the question mark. Shouldn't be there. I just meant it as if we grew potatoes we wouldn't need fences.
Even the best would not get my pass. Pressure treated is a fail to short a life span. Red cedar has a longer life span if gravel packed
yep....show me a place where you can buy 1000 red cedar posts my friend? We've got treated posts that have been in the ground 40 years on dads farm...and we have locust post on grandpas farm that have been around for 65 years....it's all about what you can get to get the job done
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I sell around 300 a week have connections to easy sapply 1000 at 4.00 each
Make it a real competition no machines like the old boys did it. Then you’ll know what putting fence up is like.
yep...but the reality of fencing nowadays isn't digging and tamping in most cases. This isn't a contest of strength or endurance...it's a contest to build the best fence my friend....motorcross v/s mountain bike if ya get my drift
Is the judge single?
lol
3 minutes of that music was all I could take.. bye..
does this make you feel better?
Please do not allow gays to appear in your advertistements. Thanks
@DeerService we also can to do it :) a lot tips and tricks, thanks!
