Understanding Tying Principles and Tie Orientation

way you boys ready ready ready break all right so for you guys watching and for these guys learning this is their first time working with woven wire on steel post right right so what we're doing is we're attaching a tie to the post some of these will have to push down to match up to the post appropriately and what we want to have underneath here is just generally a boot thickness underneath so one guy will have to push down while the other guy measures with his boot so we want about three to four inches down low this is a flexible number because as we go up the hills and hollers undulate it goes up and down and up and down so with this section right here super easy Bam Bam Bam tie it to the post if we're pulling down in other words if the fence wire is up in the air like this then we need to start at the bottom we get three of them on there and then the person holding the wire can let it go if we're doing pulling it down this direction we're going to tie from the bottom if we're pushing up we want to tie from the top so some of this fence will be down on the ground like way down low and you can see some of that down there if it's up in the air we need to pull from down if it's down in the ground we need to pull from the top so if we have to pull it up we tie from the top down and if we have to pull down we tie from the top up make sense got it confusing yet [Laughter] every post doesn't get 13 ties so there are 13 line wires here 12 inch stay spacing we're going to get posts that line up right on the knot so that is one of the challenges that we have to overcome we also when we put our post tie on it can't be facing straight out like that because if you drive by on the mower with the mower or something it'll rip a hole through the tire so it has to be facing this direction or that direction always has to be going that way or that way never out that way and never in this way when we put our post tie in we're not going to put it in right here we gotta encapsulate the wire so we got to catch that wire so that being said you got a bottom wire down here see that wire there it has to be tied in with the bottom okay so it's always tied in with the very bottom wire so we have double security basically if you get into a point where you don't feel like you have more than about three inches of post above here we're going to take it all the way to the ground because I've got to put insulators in here and we're going to run electric fence all the way along the top of…
