CHEAP! EASY! AWESOME FENCE THAT CONFUSES DEER...AND KEEPS THEM OUT!!!
What happens here
Gather all necessary materials: 6-foot metal T-posts for the inner fence, smaller synthetic plastic posts for the outer fence, poly wire, T-post insulators, and a post driver. Ensure you have enough posts and poly wire to cover the entire perimeter, considering the double-layer design and post spacing. The presenter demonstrates using a heavy post driver to pound the 6-foot T-posts into the ground, ensuring the spade at the bottom of the T-post is just below the ground level for stability and easy removal later.
Goal: Set up the main support posts for the inner fence layer.
Tools and materials
- 6-foot Metal T-Posts — Main posts for the inner fence perimeter
- Gloves — Protecting hands during post installation and wire handling
- Poly Wire — Conductive wire for the electric fence, designed to stretch
- Post Driver — To hammer T-posts into the ground
- Synthetic Plastic Posts — Posts for the outer fence perimeter, typically shorter than T-posts
- T-Post Insulators — To attach poly wire to T-posts and prevent electrical grounding
