Finally! Some help on the farm! Fencing time!

What happens here

For sections of the fence that are relatively straight and easy to manage, the presenter demonstrates the standard method of installing fence ties. One person holds the fence tightly against the steel post at the desired height. Another person then uses a cordless drill equipped with a specialized tie-twisting bit to quickly and securely wrap the wire ties around the post and the fence wire. It's crucial to ensure the bottom smooth wire of the fence is also tied for double security. The process involves placing the tie around the post and the selected horizontal fence wire, inserting the ends into the twisting bit, and using the drill to twist them tightly. Typically, 5 evenly spaced ties are installed along the post for these easy sections.

Goal: Practice and perform secure fence tie installation using a specialized tool.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Flex — Powering the tie-twisting bit for secure and efficient tie installation
  • Tie-Twisting Bit — To securely twist the fence ties around the post and wire
  • Wire Ties — Securing the woven wire fence to the steel posts

What they say

know let me get you a little close up what I explained to them is if we're pulling the fence down then we've got to start at the bottom because the tension is going to be more at the bottom and if we're pulling the fence from up then we've got or upward in other words we're pulling it up that way then we need to start at the top wherever there is a massive amount of tension needed and you will see this up top where there's you can walk under the fence wire right now it's six feet in the air there'll be a massive amount of tension needed that's when we'll put 13 Ties on but typically we're only putting five Ties on each so this one which is super simple super easy to just Mash down that will only get five ties it would be one two three four five evenly spaced what do you think got it now skid loaders here because we're going to get into a position where we have to lift the fence up pull it out of the dirt and that's going to be quite the challenge is pulling it up out of the dirt and pulling it down so we'll have to put that stretcher bar in to hold it into the fence while we pull down with the chain and the pallet Forks on the skid steer so that's my skid steers over here we'll do some easy ones first we need to see if we can get this a little bit it's a little again raise that up to where you can get one foot underneath but be careful because you can wait wait you can really mess up here and this wire can go right over the top so what we're dealing with not only is tension on the bottom of the post but tension also some of these will become like arrows you know what I mean because when we get up there and there's wire that high you got to be very careful you've got to tie down to the lowest point so with this just where you can get a foot under there which is well beyond where we are so we probably need to bring it on down and try to your on top of the other wire smooth Wire yeah okay so we'll go back down right there about there and we can tie off the four inchers and this really isn't going to matter so much so we're gonna go to the top wire see how we're hung up we're kind of screwed up in there you want to go under that so it doesn't bind it up let me just go right here one person needs to be on one side of the fence and another person needs to be on the other side it works typically better uh so we'll just ring it off that's it we're not going to get away from that knot are we no it's all right do you like that yeah bring it on wait what bring it all…
