Judging Criteria for Wood Post Fences

What happens here

Axel Borris continues to explain the judging for wood post fences, highlighting the difference in how they are constructed. Staples are used to attach the woven wire to wooden posts. Judges look for stapling at the top and bottom of the mesh, the first two bottom wires, and then every other wire staggered through the middle. They also check the neatness of the knotting (for barbed wire) and that all wire ties are correct and neatly done. An example shows a wooden fence post where a brace was installed without being driven deep enough into the ground, which would result in deductions. The judge reiterates that while making a good fence is important, following the specified parameters is also crucial for competition scoring.

Goal: Understand the specific criteria used to judge the quality of wood post fences.
