Rural Fencing TIPS From the PROS 

G'day Everyone, I just wanted to make mention of the wildfires over in the USA at the moment. No doubt many fences will need to be rebuilt... sadly and homes etc. We are following your fight against nature (unfortunately some deliberately lit) but you guys gave us Aussies a lot of support during our firey last summer so you should know we are thinking of you during this trying time. All the best, Mark

Respect for helping people who work hard, honest, and do a good job without looking for a discount.👍🏽

Im guessing the 8 folks that gave a thumbs down are the critters that were locked out on the other side of the fence.

I love the shot of the kangaroo!! You can almost see it thinking 🤔 “well what do I do now!”

I am truely impressed that they were able to get solid posts into that boggy ground!

Real pro's. I do love watching people doing what they do best.

I do commercial fencing for a living so really enjoyed this video. These guys did a great job, congrats on the new fence!

Growing up on a farm I did a LOT of fencing with my dad, but that fence is next level stuff, excellent work from those guys!

300ks, and they just camped to take a break jeez

More working class joe's deserve the spotlight and respect!

Lol, stumbled on your channel after trying to find content on how to care for my house plants. Then found myself watching videos after videos simply for your Dad jokes 🤣😂

I don’t need any fencing and I am in the US but I still found the video interesting love the video of the kangaroo I’ve never seen one in real life

After watching this fence building video I'm convinced that Australians are just british Texans.

300km fence wtf..... I thought doing a 60 metre one was bad enough. That's insane lol

If I had a farm and lived in Australia and needed fencing I'd probably call them ;)

The only thing you get sitting on the fence is a butt full of splinters!

That's some quality right there, thick posts of hardwood and the main lines THROUGH the posts...... not just nailed to them. High gage wire that's not crimped or wielded. Don't let it's looks fool ya, it's a great job. I've seen some shocking jobs on the farm growing up and hunting, it's great to see quality work.

Really nice fence. Those guys do some good work. Maybe think about running a hot wire all around the outside. I'd put one low, about 6-8 inches off the ground. Then another right at the top. Grounding the fence wire will help. Pretty much stop any ground based predators from getting to your birds. In any case, cheers from the US. :)

YOU'RE SO DANG CHARMING GAH!!!

It really is interesting. We dont appreciate quality fencing until we need it.

Wish I had these cool Aussies come out to my place on the other side of the world! :) Hearing them talk would be an added bonus!

Love watching people do what they do properly.... No cuts... Just get it done right....

first comment! woot!

always a pleasure to hear people who know what they are doing talk about what they do.

Hi.... Mark, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🌱🍈🍌🍍🍅🍑🍎🍒🍓🎥👍👍👍

Just great content ... Only self sufficient me can make learning about fence fun! Hope the fence works well!

Look at Mark and all his NFE ( new fence energy)

Why go timber posts not galvanised steel, driven in with hydraulic hammer?

Too bad humans think they own the land but Mother Nature reminds us that we don't we're ruining this Earth putting fences up for their benefit but to the detriment of everything else that's deserves to live on this Earth

so many dad jokes but they always make me laugh.

I love the quiet humility of these rural down under fullas

I live in a rental and could not install fencing even if I wanted to; but, I did find this interesting. Even if you read out loud The Odyssey, it would be interesting.

Might stop a 'roo, but that fence dont seem very drop bear safe do they?

Your kangaroo reminds me of our white tail deer. Pests one and all

Most Australian thing i've seen all month. G'day m8. Geezah.

Great feature. One of the biggest expenses can be fencing, but one of the most important long-term. 👍

from the questions you asked, sounds like you got a huge better fence than you were expecting!!! very nice job.

That was definitely a kangaroo at the end.

They made a good job on your property.. i hope it helps a lot for you when it comes to animals that comes at night to eat some veg.. specially when they are young.. definitely to recommend them..

Question: with it being so boggy, have you thought about putting in a French drain to move the water? (Say, drain it into a pond for the ducks?). Maybe you wouldn’t be allowed to do that, though, since it’s near the property line and would affect your neighbor’s property, too

Hi Mark, what an excellent fence, it's rare(unfortunately) to get true professionals who will do a job properly, you were lucky to get the best!!

Amazingly well-built fence! It is so interesting to see cultural differences play out on video. Where I live you would never, ever put horses in a pasture with that kind of fencing: one kick, one shoe caught on the metal, and it's all over for the horse. In fact, if the farm inspector comes and sees this kind of fence around a horse pasture, you might get fined. But you would not hesitate to use that kind of netting for wildlife fences along highways etc., to keep moose and deer away from the cars. It is intriguing to see that this form of fencing is used more broadly in Australia.

Ahhww ahhww aaar mmmmmm arrrrrrr!?? 8:28 Few years n the stock are pushing it down😂 PS How much did it cost you to Doze the new fence line in comparison to the new fence??😊 Ironbark doesn't conduct like everything timber on this planet!🇭🇲

Fences are needful things and local wildlife learns to work out their place - OUTSIDE... Good to hear praise for work well done. "The labourer is worthy of his hire." Hate it when folk begrudge an honest wage for quality work. Fair play to all. (From Ireland.)

great video thanks. for the price was it 300m total or were you including the neighbours 152m in with that price?

I absolutely love ur property the way you dont put it to waste like my neighbour does! They had a lovely jetty but they used all of their land as a rubbish dump🤦🏽‍♂️.

So for fencing, some of the worries we have out here are making sure the fence is quite sturdy due to animals banging up against it or rubbing against it. This is a common thing that happens out west in the US and Canada. Some kinds of sheep can be up to 300 lbs and will but or rub fences. Sometimes cattle do this too. (western dry farming sheep; rambouillets can get to about 300 lbs.) Cattle can and do rub up against fences also (up to 1100 pounbs). This is to give an idea how sturdy they may need to be. Given their weight it presents some worries about how to make sure the fences won't budge. And with my own activities I'd seen that some types of dogs can jump fences, up to even past 5 feet. We had neighbors go after our ducks this way. Probably will have to put up an electrical zapper on top...

Amazed at the cost Thought it'd be a lot more. Anyway well done, maybe itll keep the roos out for a while. I was out bush one day and saw a big Kanga clear a 4ft fence that day as though it wasn't there..The original "flying kangaroo" brought me to tears in awe.

Dirty engine oil. You didn't use any. I'll tell my neighbour. "Cooooo-eeeeeeeee! Hey Sam! They didn't dip their posts!"

So how high can a kangaroo jump. In Wisconsin it would be impossible to keep the deer out. They can jump 10 to 12 feet.

Mark, fences don’t keep roo’s out. they either jump over the fence or they make a roo gate, and burrow under the wire wrecking the fence. I am constantly burying tires in roo gates so they cant get through. they are beautiful animals and uniquely aussie, and i love they on my property. but i wish they would use their big powerful legs to jump OVER the fence.

With respect, fencing is not hard to figure, it's just hard work. No pros necessary here, I will build my own. They do good work and work hard, so no offense intended.

Would someone like Corey be willing to do a weekend course and show a few tips and tricks?! Currently fencing and want to do alot more for myself (contracting?)

That guy sounds just like Malcolm Young.

Sometimes you do need to call in the pros. "Shut the gate, mate."

This was very interesting. I have to construct a chicken yard in the next few weeks so this was actually helpful to me. Thanks for doing this fence video.

Its a bit of a cowboy fence you got there, over strained without termination knots, stays should be at least 2.5x the post height in length. Cowboy contractors taking advantage of a customer who does not know any better. Its stiff stay wire not hinged joint for the record.

Hinge joint fencing is way to go. Wood posts +. Hinge joint fencing is heavier and, at least for me is cheaper than chinsy, welded big box gardening fence.

WOW!!! That's a big job; $12,000 of work?!?! :O

They just stabbed the posts into the ground? I'm used to seeing all sorts of fuss being made about concrete feet and gravel. I'd prefer to just use the post like this.

I feel like you originally wanted to be sitting on the fence when you started the video but couldn't get up so you changed it.

They seemed like solid hardworking fellas, props for showing their segments & glad you enjoy your investment on your property.

Loved this video ❤️ I didn't realise the posts went that deep either. Very interesting!

How far are the spacing for the wooden posts? Sorry rookie question lol

I used to install fence for a living and bit am I glad we don't have to dig holes by hand any more. Up north here when you deal with frost and what not we typically cement them in below the frost line if ya don't the ground turns it's self and heaves the post and makes them go crooked and what not

I'd still run an electric down it to keep the horses off it. Will last 100 instead of 25 years

Wow only $12,000! That's cheap!

Will that fence stop a kangaroo from having a stroll in your property? A very tall fence?

300 kilometers!!!! Could you imagine?!?

Hello dose anyone know if it still works when you mix the ash and water and sprinkel it on plants wil it do the same

Wow 6 months to do a job What troopers they are ☺ great job lovely work

You absolutely get what you paid for!! Great video mate 🍻

Did I hear that correct...300k fencing?

Thomas mark this is really interesting as we are looking for property in Queensland

Binging through your old episodes, and that is a might fine fence.

Hey there Mark,Is that fence just your fence or a. Boundary fence you share?

$12K to build the fence?? Guess i better get out that ole' post hole digger then.

Overbuilt is just right ... Looking good as ...

A bit fancier and pricey in comparison too the fences out here in the mallee

If you don’t mind me asking how long was the fence

How in the world could they fence in that boggy area?

I was surprised a kangaroo couldn't jump that fence. Our deer routinely jump over 6 foot fences. :(

Hey... I just thought of something from watching several of your videos. Is it possible, when you talk about growing fruits and vegetables, for you to make a quick mention of temperate zone most suitable for them? I saw your Finger Lime suggestion and I'm in the USA Temperate Zone 7 and got a sad face. I'll still try anyway if I can buy the seeds. I'll do it in a 5 gallon bucket so I can move it inside in 'too cold weather'. Hope all is well over there.

is ironwood the type of wood that smells like really bad stinky socks? they build a bridge top in my town and I had to cross that stinker each bloody day! it took 5 months for that thing to lessen in smell! it is awful! it looks like the same stuff as color goes also, roos have you ever eaten kangaroo meat me I think it's the bee's knees! they had some roo steak in the supermarket and it was the best! none of that silverskin stuff you get in beef no tiny tendons just soft juicy meat if I would live in your neck of the woods skippy would be in trouble! my dry ager is yearning for a roo hindleg!

i use steel post galvanized if a fire goes through

hi, mark I have a question how high was your highest ever potato plant? I ask this because I think I might have a record holder on my hands I planted the marked bought potato in mid-April and now in September, it is 2 meters 20 cm high! it is under my apple tree and tied to the lowest branches it's an absolute monster each leaf stem with leaves is bigger than my head! the ground below it is bulging there must be lots of tatoes in there. potato planting is pretty much the easiest thing ever just put it in the ground and wait now I have been doing this for a number of years and I'm not afraid to go on planting until winter the level of maximum frozen dirt depth that we get here in the Netherlands is 15 to 25 cm so as the season progresses I just go deeper if a frost comes the taters will be below the freezing depth and will come up in spring, last year I had a pretty good yield in December! the weather was really mild last winter the potatlings planted in December reared their sprouts in February and I had my first harvest in May. I tried your whole tomato planting and now I have ripening tomatoes they are in pots so if it gets colder they are coming inside to overwinter I had no luck with peppers they were all eaten by slugs and snails now I have a compost heap they all go there to feast so I should have thought of that one sooner. a strange thing about the compost heap is toilet roll tubes compost fine egg cartons don't the critters in there don't want to touch it they ate the labeling but the box is still pristine what's up with that?!

I have learned so much from you. Thank you .Even though I am in a zone 9b area.WISH I could grow some dragon fruit. Michael thank you too for what you are doing. There's a guy called ice age farmer.I don't think he does gardening as such but he KNOWS what's going on in the food sources industry. That is why right now YOU are extremely mportant. I'm doing everything you say, even here in cold Johannesburg, and it's working. Good cheer to you!

Very interesting and well explained by Corey’s Rural Fencing. I didn’t realise how much was involved. 🦘🦘🦘

Real Aussies doing real hard work producing quality results. Great to see.

Hey Mark! I wonder what the language was like when they manually over tensioned the top wire... I remember when we used barbed wire... man you hit the ground in a hurry. Did you ever pull stumps to clear a paddock? We never did either. But that’s another story. 🍺🍺🤭😉

How do they get the posts in solid in spongy ground?

can you grow rice in a wet back garden?

What length was the fence for that price?

aluminium or concrete posts?

Hey BROOOO

Great video. Thanks

Love these. You are a goofball!!

Corner post thumbs up 👍👍👍

That is one very good looking fence. I own rural property myself and just love seeing a new fence! I bought a property with all DIY internal fencing made of whatever spare off-cuts of wire the person could find. An absolute eyesore, but I have to say, every time a section gets replaced I spend days just wandering around admiring the new fencing. And mine's not nearly as attractive as yours.
