How to Build a Hog wire Fence - Start to Finish! 

You took the words right out of my mouth. These two siblings rock!!

I agree. Was hoping they had more videos.

So glad the video helped!! I originally planned to build this by myself so I had to figure out how to simplify it as much as possible. 7 1/2 ft? I thought my husky was bad! haha good luck on your build!

@@jacintachristiansen3011 We were trying to see the car license plates to see where you built it. I noticed that most of the videos I watched were Midwesterners. My Midwestern upbringing kicks in as soon as we get a quote for a project. "Wait - $10,000 for a fence?" I told my husband, "I guess we're learning how to build a fence." The materials are costing us $3000 total. In some ways I wish I hadn't been raised to think I could just do these things myself -- I would rather be a Joanna Gaines who just tells her husband or some worker what he needs to do. Ha! But being handy has been a blessing for getting things I couldn't afford to have done. Good luck to you in all your future projects because I'm betting there will be more to come. :)

@@KA-fe2nl OMG this cracked me up! haha born and raised in Omaha, NE but this is at my house in Lincoln, NE! Where are you from? I always had the mentality that you can figure out how to do anything and I realized when I was older that some people don't think that way. It is definitely part of the midwest upbringing but it helps that my background is in structural engineering! Recently quit my job and there have been many projects since but I haven't documented them well. Although I'd like to build a tiny home soon and I think I will try to film that! :)

@@jacintachristiansen3011 I'm from northwestern Ohio. I saw another video (or maybe two) from Nebraska and one from Indiana. There was another young lady with a very Midwest accent and the landscape was Midwestern. So, my dad was a jack of all trades and built our house himself. My mom chose it straight out of Better Homes and Gardens when I was a kid and it was beautiful. I learned from him and started doing things myself, remodeling my first little house when I was 18. But in 2007 my husband and I moved to Texas and people hire all this stuff done. Heck, they hire people to hang their Christmas lights and I was thinking no way anyone I knew would pay someone to climb a ladder and string lights. Ha! Funny story: We bought an inn in San Antonio and put on an addition to the carriage house (my dad helped us); the HVAC guy showed up to move the AC unit and asked my husband where I was because "she's an engineer, right?" Nope, a language professor. Cracked me up! I must have spoken with authority on the subject compared to other people. Interesting side note: my husband is from the East coast and he didn't even know how to change the oil in his car, let alone do all the other stuff required for owning an inn. So the first time we had a plumbing issue and he said we needed to call a plumber, I said, "Why? The leak is right there. That's an easy fix." That was my mistake though. Next thing I know I'm remodeling bathrooms and laying tile.... My son told his wife that taping and floating dry wall is "woman's work" so I'm not sure I have done her any favors.

I would watch that tiny home build!

Me too

Thank you! I have the same problem with my dogs. Next summer, I'll be making my raised beds taller to help keep them out!

Thanks! I considered using something like that but I didn't want to carry all of those heavy bags if I could avoid it!

@@jacintachristiansen3011 be careful a lot of times post foam will start to contract and the pots will become loose.

Hahahahaha took me a few times but I finally saw it 🤣

Thank you! Took some trial and error but doing it this way worked very well for us. Hope you are enjoying yours :)

Same with me, fencing about 3/4 acre.

Thank you!

Thank you!

That's awesome especially because lumber is so expensive right now. Seems like everyone is building now that we're all stuck at home!

Thanks! Unfortunately not. I'll be sure to film it if we do something like this again in the future!

@@jacintachristiansen3011 do you know the height and width? I wanna do something similar

@@bryanawilson1983 The archway is about 8ft tall and 8ft wide

@@jacintachristiansen3011 thank you!!

Thanks girl!! Miss you too! I'm coming to Atlanta in July so we need to meet up!!

Thank you! And yes, but mostly just because I liked the aesthetic of it. You could go without the top trim

tell me about it!

Thanks! The gate is about 4ft x 4ft. Make sure your post is very sturdy and buy quality hinges! In our case, the archway helps keep the posts from leaning. As far as the gate itself sagging, the hogwire is pretty sturdy but you could always get a lower gauge panel (thicker wire) if you want to go wider than 4 ft

It’s very sturdy

The dogs jump on it all day long and there are no issues!

So far so good! My husky even tries to dig at them constantly and doesn't make a dent. I'll see how it survives the winter!

Yes

Just drill the screw into the post at an angle. You could always use a jig to help with angling the screw if you need to. You can find something like this at any hardware store. www.amazon.com/Joinery-Woodworking-Carpenters-Woodwork-Carpentry/dp/B08LTGMR3C/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=drill+angle+guide&qid=1609624157&sr=8-7

Thanks! I spent just about $2,000 and my fence is nearly 200 ft long
