my name is Esaias and welcome to the farm we're gonna be doing some fencing
today just video his farm fencing with high tensile barbed wire so now we're
going to we've got all our h braces built corner posts are in three feet
crossmembers our in-race wires tightened t posts are driven it looks pretty
straight so now we're going to start running wire we this is the corner post
we're gonna set up here I've got this stick each tick mark is where we're
going to put a strand of barbed wire we're gonna start from the top down
we're going to pull from the top down because if this if this brace or any
braces are going to move any it's gonna be in the top or the crossmember is it's
going to pull this way which we should have taken all that slack out with this
brace wire and the crossmembers but if you start pulling from the bottom and
then get up to the top by the time you pull your top your bottom could be loose
so we're gonna start here and take any extra play with our top strand check our
brace wires tighten them back up if they've moved any I don't suspect they
will and then we'll work it work it down so I've got the measurement preset we're
running six strands of high-tensile barbed wire layout is as follows from
the ground 12 inches first wire second wire all the way to six is eight inch in
intervals so I've marked this stick ground level twelve inches eight eight
eight eight eight total fence height is 52 inches normally you'll see cattle
cattle fences anywhere from 48 to 49 50 inches 51 this will be 52 I've set my t
post hiked at 54 inches so that leaves me two inches hopefully for any
deviations in the ground or if I want to come back and put a strand of hot fence
one one strand of hot fence on top in case the bull starts pushing on it I've
got an extra room to put an insulator
or a 1 seconds I that's pointing
I'm gonna do a double wrap on the barbed wire we'll wrap it twice and then I'm
going to wrap it I'm probably going to put a single staple and we're gonna pull
this direction barbar you just got it you just gotta get in there and work
your fingers because it's since this is an post we can go ahead and drive that
staple home the other staples on our line post would post we're gonna leave
them a little loose so there's some room to go there a lot of guys they'll taken
I've seen they'll take you cut this about here and they'll leave a little
whip over here some guys will just continue to wrap this on out I don't
know it looks better I think I might just stretch hi I'm gonna show you guys
something you've never seen before and may never see again this is my solution
to how in the world we're going to run barbed wire on the back of this
four-wheeler down through this property it consists of two strips of old
hardwood flooring that you get from your brother's house from like six years ago
just hoard it for a while it's what you got to do it's got to be a good season
nice nice coat of hoarding on top of it and then get you some dowel so you also
got doubt you gonna be hoarding dowels you got dowels pop straps bolts and a
quick-release pin and this is your magic right here
all right here you got two quick release pin please pull that sucker there pull
it out you push it down through this way and get the manual labor come in well
over here yeah to load it up I'll grab one side of that
for you so use your wire here load it up all right I got this side good and
fished that down through okay yep okay put your PIN back three
and that's it that's how you run barbar off the four-wheeler you go hit 30 miles
an hour down the fence line and gets pulled it real quick you stop and just
ends up running oh yeah I catch cut that's real bad
this DIY barbed wire apparatus have been real nice the top strand on pretty tight
I did break this top strand yesterday we were putting the t-post clips on and
I'll put the t-post clip on just a little bit too tight I did three wraps
on it and I was really sensing it down and I think what I did is I caused the
teeth post clip to dig into this wire and it and it cut it and it broke so
that was kind of a bummer luckily I had watched a how to splice barbed wire
without Gribble's or some kind of crimp sleeve and so we did we braided it back
in put a splice in had to come back here and retention the corner but it worked
it worked beautiful so that splice will probably never be seen nobody will ever
notice it but me but it worked out fine I kind of hated it happen but you can
you can break this high tensile barbed wire there is a there's an art to how
much tension to put on it and I can't tell you what that is because I'm still
learning myself but we're gonna we've got the top strand on fixing to pull
second strand down from the top where we'll hook it to the impulse post here
we're going to pull that direction and
we'll tension it on that end once we get it tensioned we'll come back and we'll
strap it staple it to post clip it all the way back down to here and then we'll
start the next run so we've got four to go
we've got the bottom down and the top up so we've got four more strands
anything I'd do different not really I mean I can say that that the this thing
went together really well I guess the only drawback was was we're kind of in a
little drought here in my little part of the world where I live and it's been
extremely hot unseasonable warm unseasonable warm and dry we were a
little worried about using that post pounder and this and this dry ground man
it really pushed through we didn't have to shave the poster didn't have to make
a point on the end I mean it pounded them in really impressed so no I can't
say anything that I would do different on this fence I like the layout of like
the design the only thing I probably will do and maybe we you know will do a
video on it is I will probably add a strand of hot hot water on this fence
and that's just kind of icing on the cake that's just kind of seal the deal
you know if my boy ever wants to fight with somebody else's boy but I may do
that but I love the fence turned out great I really appreciate you all
watching it you know it's possible I could get with him and do another video
you know my things cattle that's kind of the thing we've done for years and it's
kind of what I know and you know the only reason I know how to do you know
fencing like I do or what I can do is because I've had cattle and I've had
cattle get out but I really appreciate you watching and make sure you you like
this video if you do like it if you don't don't say nothing just go on to
another video go watch a couple of dudes make a swimming pool somewhere out in
India in the woods or something in the wilderness but if you liked it hit that
like button you know support Sam's channel maybe we'll have another farm
video but this video is farm fencing with high tensile barbed wire so thanks
for watching don't forget like support and hopefully we'll see you soon
how you doing my name is Adam I'm gonna show you how to build they better buy me
lunch that's all I gotta say all right lunch is my number one
priority what else you want Gatorade no way Wow
the Gatorade how about my name's Adam welcome to Tennessee God's country how
about desktop oh yeah we could say welcome to Tennessee Scott country how
much do you love growing up on this cattle farm and helping your daddy every
day good work fine but is it rewarding sometimes thanks for watching stay tuned
for the next video I know you can't wait
you
