What happens here
Luke discusses a final steel pipe brace from Tyler Russell of Ty's Custom Fencing. He praises Tyler's work, especially considering he's only been in the business for nine months. The fence uses Tornado Titan 8-42-6 wire, featuring a fixed knot for a solid vertical stay, allowing for wider post spacing. He then demonstrates the flexibility of the wire ties used, called 'Easy Post Twist Ties'. These ties allow the wire to slide horizontally along the post if impacted, preventing the fence from breaking, but prevent vertical movement. This highlights the importance of not hard-stapling wires to allow for dynamic response to impacts.
Goal: Examine a steel pipe brace and understand the importance of wire flexibility in fence design.
