Hi, welcome back for yet
another adventure here at Pine Meadows Hobby Farm
I am your host Jerry Hanson. Today I'm gonna
take you on an adventure putting together the
fencing today and cross fencing the property
earlier when we first bought the property
one of the first things I did after cleaning it up was
putting the perimeter fence up. We only had the one
fence that was up that was up. This fence
stretches approximately 1,042 feet
long and this fence was already here.
It was put up by the gentleman who owned the property next door.
But the back of the fence line
was in real bad shape it and it was
12 feet off of the property line so
actually it was not on the property line. I went ahead and errected this
fence finding the corner marks with my metal detector
and accurately placing the
fence along the property line. This side
fence I put up also , this stretches approximately
888 feet from the back
corner property
marker to the road, and
this continues on down through the
North face of my property. And the front property line this front fence
borders along the road.
Now this Cross-fencing you see right here I put it up yesterday, and I'll be
working on it again today
I ran into a problem with putting the fencing up
I have this rock
its a hard pan rock that is really shallow.
Of course, when I put the foundation of the house
I ran into the Rock a foot down into the earth
So at least I know the foundation in my house sits upon a
good solid foundation. It's not going anywhere.
But this fencing made it really difficult to put fence posts in
So I'm going to have to be a little
creative in this one section along the pond here where this Hard Pan Rock
is exposed close to the surface where I couldn't get it deep
enough hole to secure a fence post.
so I'm gonna go ahead and build this
garden bed. A raised bed garden
and this raised bed is also gonna
facilitate the attachment of the posts,
about five posts.
so I got it Jerry-rig this
and make-do with what I have here on the farm
Those clips will be on the back side of the pole so you will not be able to see them from the
yard side, so nobody will care
I use this fence tool
that you use for field fencing.
it makes it really easy for cutting the
thick gauge wire of the field fence
It also has adjusting the staples, the fence staples, like you see here.
And it also is great
it has things on it for pulling
fence staples
So this basically, I cut the fence
into manageable lengths. Each role comes in a
330 foot-long role
these are very heavy. They are too heavy for one person to handle. So what I did was
I cut it into lengths.
My fence posts around the perimeter of
my property, the wooden posts are a hundred feet
apart. So I cut the length of the fence about 101 feet.
102 feet so I could stretch the fence between them. And the T-Posts
have the little staples or these little
T-Post holders, fence holders
that I bought, and these T-Post are every 10 feet
between each wooden fence post spaced at 100 feet apart.
So I was able to staple the fencing to each fence post
and it became more manageable so I was able they only handle a 100 foot long
rolls.
This fencing right here
as you can see I pieced it together and cut it into more manageable lengths also.
It made it really easy to handle.
And so that is the fencing project here
Pine Meadows Hobby Farm. I'm almost done. I still have the
garden fence to put up. Its quite a bit taller. I think it's a seven
foot high fence. I just hope the deer around here are not
Olympic jumpers, where they will jump a
seven-foot high-fence. If they do I'll just extend the top with some electric wire
to make it look like fence is taller to the deer
and hopefully that will dissuade them from jumping into the garden.
So thank you for following me at Pine Meadows Hobby Farm. I'm your host Jerry Hanson
This fence adventure,
The adventure of putting in the fence here at Pine Meadows Hobby Farm
is just a simple little How-To.
Of how I put in my fence.
It's not probably the way to put it fence, but this is how I put in my fence.
So, thank you for coming and please check out the these videos right here
which are linked to other videos from my channel
And stay tuned for more videos. Please give me a thumbs up and suscribe
that way your sure to be in contact
and updated with new videos as I post them.
OH! By the way. I am now on Twitter

I am so in the dark ages I don't even have a cell phone
so I went online and looked Twitter and found out what that is. I heard people
talking about. I though it was something birds do but..
anyway I discovered my youtube videos can
go on Twitter and what's that other thing???
Facebook. Yeah, I got a Facebook account now too.
