Simple Farm Fencing Ideas that WORK!

What happens here

The hosts explain the distinction between the grazed (less green) and ungrazed (greener) sections of the pasture. To control cattle access and define the new 'garden plot', a temporary electric fence is erected. This 'edging' consists of a single strand of polybraid wire supported by 'Strain Right' step-in posts, which are considered superior in quality. The posts are spaced approximately 10 steps (about 30 feet) apart, strategically placed to follow the natural contours of the land, including high and low spots, to maintain consistent height and effectiveness of the fence.

Goal: Set up a temporary electric fence using polybraid wire and specialized step-in posts to create a defined boundary for the new grazing area, ensuring optimal coverage over varied terrain.

Tools and materials

  • Polybraid Splicer

i don't know so there's no infrastructure right here other than this single strand poly braid wire what we're going to do is we're gonna run from this post here straight across the pasture to where we have some white posts stuck in the ground these are step end posts these are also strain right step in post but these are a different style you could use a two wire four wire five wire i guess one two three yeah you could use this for goats and stuff like this for cows we just have the 33 inch strain right step in post these are the pigtail strain right that's a strain right post they have the step in the metal step in the really good posts these are the good ones okay guys don't go looking at that cheap stuff that you can buy on on other websites and the stuff at your local farm store if it doesn't say strain right it's not the best that's the best stuff this stuff's made in new zealand so what we're going to do is we're going to be tying on to this fence cold this is tornado wire and when i say cold means that this fence is not energized that fence is energized so we'll tie on coal to this here in just a minute i'll show you a cool tool that i made in order to do that with just a piece of pvc pipe okay so this is how the strain right post steps in the ground each one will go the same direction okay so stepping into the ground the reason these are the good posts is because of the steel okay we're gonna go 10 steps between so about 30 feet between post we want to make sure we get all the high spots and the low spots in the undulations of the land so that's how we are going gonna do this we're gonna take off this way one two the ground's really hard it's really hard to get these guys in so we're gonna put our last post right here beside our current post here give us a little bit of support that's it we got some extras now we're gonna go get the reel of wire and we'll unreal that wire right across where we're sectioning off our pasture it's windy and it's toasty out here so
