Not AGAIN! His trees keep falling on my fence!

What happens here

The operator explains that the fence is made of woven wire with metal posts, chosen specifically because it allows for easier repair than wooden posts with staples. Using a hammer and a pair of channel locks, the operator carefully taps and lifts the bent line wires (horizontal) and stay wires (vertical) back into place. The post ties, which hold the fence to the posts, are loosened, and the wires are gradually moved upwards until the fence is tight and back to its original height. This technique prevents the wires from being permanently damaged or needing full replacement.

Goal: The damaged woven wire fence is repaired by using a hammer and channel locks to carefully tap and lift the bent line wires and stay wires back into their correct position on the metal fence posts.

the Husqvarna speaks for itself this 572 XP is a monster of a chainsaw did you guys notice the wind started picking up they say don't pee into the wind well don't chip into the wind I got to wear quite a few chips so the next thing we got to do is fix this fence I'm going to show you just how easy it is to just raise it right back up super simple with this woven wire as tight as it is it just lifts right back up so here we are at our fence post and at our problem a lot of broom sedge out here guys we are healing the land it didn't start out and no Farm starts out just perfect so bear with us this is what we've got and we've got to get this up the reason we didn't go with wooden posts if this was stapled it would probably just pop the Staples out they'd be out in the pasture and they would be a hazard to the cattle's feet okay so think about that if it did pull the staple out Bing it would just shoot it out into the pasture and risk injuring an animal what we have here is simply a hammer and a pair of channel locks and what we're going to do is just tap our fence up basically you'll first take the hammer and I'll lift and tap and lift and tap I'll show you this post tie right here is what holds everything in place that's what's holding the post down so as I tap up on the back side I get this one loose right here we'll bring it on up as high as we can and we'll tap the back side of the next one up up up up up up up up up up up we'll go down here to this lower one we'll tap it boom see that up up up up up up we'll tap on the front side there and we've just about got her fixed next thing we need to do is make sure we're kind of loose here okay pretty simple we'll hang our Hammer up on the fence post just like so and we'll start pulling our wire up by hand just like that now some of these line wires and stay wires are bent we'll just give them a little tug up up up up as we go along and we'll repair the fence I'll show you line wire horizontal stay wire vertical takes a grunt to get it right We Don't Spray our fence lines on the Stoney Ridge Farm we don't put herbicide down if we can help it lift up bend them straight up this is why I chose this fencing system you guys notice that we're about 8 to 12 to 16 feet away from the forest so that we don't have this problem this is only the third tree that's fell on our fence since we built it if there were animals in this pasture when that tree fell on they would not get out because it fell right next to that post…
