12:00 he is exactly right. I work in heavy civ. The load is going exactly where his pole is. You see the ranchers who built that brace in line with the wire. The guy in the turqouise hat, knows his stuff. Global perspective of his industry. No egos
My dad and I were building fence years ago with new barb and T posts. Dad said this fence should last your lifetime. I guess I’ve just lived too long I’m 73. I’m rusty and saggy too.
Man, how big was your smile at the end of this project? Sitting on the porch knowing how well wrapped up your paddocks were. Awesome. Well done Josh and crew 👍
Fascinating article. I was impressed with their knots, especially the one they called a Figure of Eight, which was actually a more complex knot called a Carrick Bend.
Watching from Fiji Isaland, you're TH-cam channel has being very educational and helping alot to us guys who are looking to start a farm. Looking forward to more educational videos from your channel.
A very informative video on Tornado Wire fence installation. Thank you, Josh, Luke at Farm Fence Solutions and all the fence crews for taking your time to teach us the tips and tricks. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
It is great these guys are helping each other learn and become fantastic fence builders. You can tell they are experienced and know the best way to put up a fabulous fence. Thanks for sharing.
Great job man - learning a lot from you. Looked like a long hard but productive day. Hope you finished off the day with a few pops with all the crew! Thanks Josh for all you do with this channel!
I liked this video. I'll never use a fence like this, but I like to see how things are done, I always dreamed of owning a farm, my grandparents owned a 280 acre farm in eastern Kentucky. Some of the land was essentially vertical, and some was vertical. Grandpa answered why he didn't own a tractor " a mule wont fall off a hill". Mules can walk a steeply sloped hillside with no problem. Most of the farm was growing hardwood timber, the rest was hay, and the flat part was tobacco.
I double wrap terminations. Keeps wire from moving up and down corner post. A little more work. We use all steel. Pipe and t-posts. (Central Texas) Nice work. Good video.
That was very informative and very interesting.ver very good vid bud wish I could help ya whith the rest of your fence bud .but again great vid and godbless
Hey Josh thank you for the video and thank you for having those guys there explaining the fence and high detail because it surely answered my questions and y'all stay safe now and God bless and drink plenty of water and try to stay cool try to because the heat will kill
You said “was installed” lol It WAS and still IS installed way different than this! Normally folks stretch it one wire at a time and secure it one steeple at a time. We always used black locust posts that we grew from a coppice we made. I can’t tell you the fun of stretching with a one man star stretcher and trying to drive a steeple into those hard ass posts… it’s like driving a steeple into stone, while your other hand holds the whole thing tight.
Thanks for the great video! So cool that you brought so many fencing companies together for these videos! Loved checking this video out and can’t wait for the tomorrow’s!
Josh, my new friend love all your videos. Learning about tractors. Got one you got me interested. Learned how dangerous they are. Turned it over first day exspesive lesson. Dose not take much of incline with loader and how lol . Keep up the great vids.
Holy Smokes Josh! I've only got 440 feet of 8 foot fence to put up around an apple orchard on my farm and I'm freaking out. I talked to Luke and he's gonna hook me up with the Tornado Wire, so a road trip to Worthington IN from mid Michigan is in my future. I just picked up my wood posts today and layout starts on Monday. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer ... Shipping breaks the price point. Rural King wanted over $400 to ship two rolls. So a ten hour round trip is worth it. Love the videos man... Keep it up?!
Instead of the ratchet strainers, we use a product in Australia called a Gripple. They are a small aluminium housing about an inch long with mini ratchets inside and you feed both lengths of HT wire through it. There is a tool that you then use to tension the wire through it. On a permanent strain you wrap both ends of the wire just like a conventional ratchet tensioner, for a fence that may need to be tensioned in the future, you leave a 4” tail on one of the wires and it can be strained further if needed
In most places in the UK that have animals they use hedge laying that is a lot of labor cost, but very low material cost, and lasts for generations with moderate maintenance.
Take a close look at those hedges and you'll see a fence in most cases...if the land contains livestock....I agree in the UK there are probably millions of miles of hedge....there's alot of info out there about them...we can't count on hedge to keep our cattle out of the windshield of a neighbors minivan...safety is what this is all about my friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer , agreed they put fences up when they stop maintaining the hedge layering. When they see how ineffective and short lived the fences are they always go back to hedges. The art of hedge layering has just about been lost, because it is as much an art as it is skill. It would take an impossible amount of time and effort to have your medium farm done without the skilled labor.
In the long run pipe is cheaper than wood posts as it lasts longer, more durable, and less work. I don't have a big place so I use t posts, each one driven with a pneumatic post driver fed by a pancake air compressor. I wish I had pipe fences.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer normally $9 for the t posts but I got a gob pile of them when I got this place. I'd much rather have pipe fence but I've got enough to do 12 inch spacing around my place and have some left over to fence the neighbors place. The people that had this place before were mild hoarders. Mason jars, wallpaper, t posts, fence, t p, and pilots of already set concrete. I sold mason jars for $5 a truck load......
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer We still have t-posts from 50-70 years ago, not sure why we’d have to replace them. Maybe with nowadays new crap China t-posts but even then 10 years is a bit short?
Love all of your videos Josh. My Wife and I have a 70 acre horse farm In north central OHio. Looking into putting some of this fencing up in the next few years.
A great project. I do have a question about the fence in front of your house. Why is the wire on the outside of the post? Where I'm from we put the fence on the inside because of livestock pressure.
So I learned to tie wire from bouncer Smith he fished Atlantic ocean for 60 years and we used it for toothyfish I'm oddly attracted to this wire twist..... And I just bought a small farm and trying to salvage old fence and restretch it ,,,, possible that i may have to use a rachet strap
He’s right about the scraps. I hit a 2” piece of wire just right with a mower and it cost me $120 to fix that double paned window. It flew over 30 feet. You wouldn’t think a tiny piece of wire could do it, but it did. :/
I always enjoy your videos. Excellent material JOSH. I’ve got the same future project coming up very soon with just as much ground to cover. PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING STONEY RIDGE FARMS. LIKED SUBSCRIBED & SHARED
I would have to say one of the best advantages to metal posts and fencing, is that if a fire ever burns near or through the fence line, you livestock will still be contained, compared to a wood or plastic fence
been fencing for years with whatever was around for posts, cedar splits, locusts trees, left over lumber, railroad ties, well pipe, well rod, and sketchy fallen tree branches. we would do double H bracing to avoid a slant post into the field. Thanks for the tips and tricks, so what's it like using all new materials?
incredebile video! motivating me to get back out there and do my one man show, digging post holes for my wooden posts :) I will say I was planning on doing a catty-corner post and was going to do the in line with the fence H-Bracing. Going to change it to the diagonal, which makes so much sense!! Thank you so much.
This is free education....thanks for sharing this knowledge...🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
12:00 he is exactly right. I work in heavy civ. The load is going exactly where his pole is. You see the ranchers who built that brace in line with the wire. The guy in the turqouise hat, knows his stuff. Global perspective of his industry. No egos
It's cool seeing people work who are good at what they do.
My dad and I were building fence years ago with new barb and T posts. Dad said this fence should last your lifetime. I guess I’ve just lived too long I’m 73. I’m rusty and saggy too.
What a great bunch of guys to work with...Farm Fence Solutions rock!!!
Josh , you have the best channel . Thanks for taking the time to film this .
Man, how big was your smile at the end of this project? Sitting on the porch knowing how well wrapped up your paddocks were. Awesome. Well done Josh and crew 👍
LOL.....Oh...it's not done just yet...I've got the tedious job of tying up the fence wire to the posts...it's a huge chore and a time consuming one!
As a foreign city dweller only dreaming of your wonderful journey on Stoney Ridge Farm , this was an excellent story , carry on farming...
I am pleased to see you are using mainly New Zealand methods and even no glove's.
Steel pipe does make sense and very tidy too.
Thanks for answering most of my questions during this fence build !!!
Great information video 👍
Looks pretty darn good as well.
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

Hi from the UK Josh, absolutely fascinating who would have thought fencing could be so interesting. 👍
I've got a lot of fencing to start, thanks for posting these videos and the tips.
Nice is right, very nice. I enjoyed this, I love good information.
Thanks, good job...
I love this fencing technique
A very informative video on Tornado Wire fence installation. Thank you, Josh, Luke at Farm Fence Solutions and all the fence crews for taking your time to teach us the tips and tricks. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
Omg what a improvement for the farm!
Fencing is what a farm is all about, new ways or techniques is always needed! TU
Best fence video yet! Lots of useful info. Thanks and keep the great content coming!
Good morning everybody 🌄
Thanks Josh for a informative and interesting video. Enjoyable and entertaining!
Great job on the informational video. Great job everyone.
Congratulations on the fence project, it’s going to help you out with the livestock.
Awesome video Josh. Those guys are true craftsmen. The fence looks great!!!
It is great these guys are helping each other learn and become fantastic fence builders. You can tell they are experienced and know the best way to put up a fabulous fence. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn't agree more!
Awesome job guys and girls 👍✌️👊😎
been using strainrite equipment here in nz for decades but never knew how many different ways they can be used sooo cool
Been watching since the beginning Josh. Could be your best video yet. High quality instruction. Well done!
Wow, thanks!
I just watched a couple of these in a row! What a fantastic way to setup a new homestead with daily pasture moves!!
Great job man - learning a lot from you. Looked like a long hard but productive day. Hope you finished off the day with a few pops with all the crew! Thanks Josh for all you do with this channel!

I wouldn't challenge those lads to an arm wrestle.
Great video thanks for making the videos a big hello from Northern Ireland
I love this channel. So positive, informative, fun. You are living the dream brother.
thanks Kirk I work very hard at providing fun informative videos
Stoney Ridge Farmer I can tell. I’m a pastor and I know how hard it is to produce quality content. Your hard work shows keep it up.
Fence is looking good!
I double wrap terminations. Keeps wire from moving up and down corner post. A little more work. We use all steel. Pipe and t-posts. (Central Texas) Nice work. Good video.
Thanks for the great info. I am using this info to help build my new farm fence. Thanks again from VA.
I like the fence you putting up
I have learned a lot about knots and cost
Gold for wire cutting been fencing full time 15 yrs n never seen it cut like that 👍12:36
bam!
Man I've built alot of fence but I've learned quite a few new tips. Thanks for the videos!
Nice fence video Josh thanks for sharing
I'm sold on the galvanized fence posts. I think it looks really good also.
I love fencing. My boss gives me all the fencing jobs on our dairy farm because he knows that hahaha. Cool video very instructional 👍🏾
That was very informative and very interesting.ver very good vid bud wish I could help ya whith the rest of your fence bud .but again great vid and godbless
And I am from Kentucky I live close to mammoth cave national park looking forward to the next vedio
11:40 when he's talking about bracing that post for making the turn does that include a corner post? Not just a turn.
Hey Josh thank you for the video and thank you for having those guys there explaining the fence and high detail because it surely answered my questions and y'all stay safe now and God bless and drink plenty of water and try to stay cool try to because the heat will kill
Looking good my friend !!!
Very informative video
You will get very nice fencing on your farm, Mr & Mrs S R Farmer ! ! ! ... Greeting Michiel Lok (Lokkie1967)
And yes again I learned something about fencing which is very useful :-) Thank you Josh
Great, very interesting show !! Josh
Thanks 👍
Never thought fencing could be so interesting.
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Love your videos always full of information and entertaining content. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I really like that. Living next to a highway I think that's probably the best way to go those are 10 ft post yet pounding them with a post pounder.
I love the fence. I bet ol boy doing all those knots has got a hell of a death grip
You boys love that Kiwi fencing gear? Nice video tht Evo is a great machine
Great information and lessons. Thanks Josh!
Great video! I’ve always wondered how farm fencing was installed and now I have a pretty good understanding.
You said “was installed” lol
It WAS and still IS installed way different than this!

Fencing is the hardest job on a farm. It can also be the most dangerous
Awesome job I like it!!

high visibility area...looks better holds up just as well
First break off was twisted the wrong way and left the small tang sharp. Always twist the other way and the broken end points in
my friend...what we're doing here doesn't need to be fixed....these guys are pros at what they do for sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer pro or not, they said they need to do it to reduce risk of scratching and this way doesn’t do that. Btw im a pro too
Great information, great video.
I just learn something new about a not knot. We would take the Barb off then separate the wires and turn one then the second Turner .

Thanks Darrel I appreciate ya buddy
I've been looking for a good sycle bar mower specifically for mowing around the ponds and ditch banks.
just did a video last weekend on an awesome one!
Beautiful. Not that you will want to ever sell. That fence will appraise the farm higher to justify the cost also.
I need them to take a road trip to South Carolina!
Huge job ! !
amen!

Need some of those "fence experts" here in Washington State!
I would have to say one of the best advantages to metal posts and fencing, is that if a fire ever burns near or through the fence line, you livestock will still be contained, compared to a wood or plastic fence

I enjoy watching your vedio and your other vedios how many acres did you clean up how many areas did you buy
do you add caps to all the posts, how do you keep them from filling with water and rusting out?
Okay I needed to see this one 😂 y'all should see my shotty garden fence
