LIVESTOCK FENCING INSTALL - Straining high tensile stock net 

As usual, Maggie does a great job helping out, guarding against wolf attack and inspecting the finished work.

On any long stretch, especially if it has bend a strainer should be installed Also the wire should be on the side the stock is in so they are pushing against the posts and not the staples Posts are marked from the bottom, so the are all the same distance from the ground, not the top, so the fence follows the lay of the land Never have to cut the top of posts

Great video. Fence is coming along nicely 👌

You can now start a 3rd channel for fixing the Discovery every week

Looking good 👍

Great video mate, Just a little thing I noticed, when you joined the two rolls to get the length you could have terminated both ends at the strainers and kept pulling the slack out with the gripples and gripple tool. All you have to do is remove the verticals with some snips as you pull them up.

Fair play Tim, that's hard graft for a single person.

The hinge joint mesh is ok if there's a risk of trees falling on the fence, it'll collapse but can be pulled back up again. However, it's a royal pain in the butt when stripping the picket wires to prep the end or joins, would prefer the fixed knot style but not stocked by my local supplier.

When fencing a long stretch might it be a good idea to make up some long hooks that hook on the top of the posts and hold up the wire loosely so its not causing friction as you tension it.

Hope it was another auction car👍👍

I wonder how the Paslode pneumatic or fuel-driven staplers compare to the big red M? I did 9 acres of horse paddock with game fencing, trundling along with my atv, a generator and a compressor. Noisy, a bit of a faff going back and forth with the hose, but it beat the heck out of hammering staples.

"Going to get this fencing finished today" could end being a meme for the channel...

For the sheep wire i like to get the tow of my boot under it so its off the ground, stops it rotting in the scrub that builds up around it, also easier move it in 30 years time 😁

Great job Tim. In my experience the staple depth is pretty critical it wants to hold the wire firm but not bury the wire into the post. If the staple does not at least contact the wire when the stock rub against the fence the galvanised coating on the wire will be taken off with the rubbing action of the wire on the inside of the staple and may develop rust in that spot shortening the life of the fence. I wonder how others have got on with the Robinia posts maybe the suppliers can give you some advice on fixings etc.

Discovery when did that happen

When did u get the disco 4 ? Did I miss that?

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you send me a link for that blue metal bar type thing 😅 that holds the fence for tensioning and the ratchet that you used on the top one which u said cost about £40. Might get 2, 1 for the bottom and one for the top. Thank you again

How many acres did you do and how many metres did you use

I trust you're paying Maggie full consultancy rates!

Wonder if the staple gun is more up for the task with a high output battery

Woh... New car Tim?

Who’s the contractor with the big knockers?

Is there anywhere you can get the hoodies from

Too much faffing about...
