Looking for some advice for removing 1 mile of 4 wire high tensile wire fencing.   Must have to be rolled under tension........

Chestnut cleft rail fencing is a classic and durable choice. It offers a rustic look and can be customized to your desired height and style. Share your experiences with this type of fencing.

I know many people have made unrollers for stock and deer netting. I would love to see photos of loader mounted examples that I may be able to use to avoid last winters nightmare of rolling out deer net over a clearfelled forest site that had become muddy!. We don't do enough fencing to buy a machine but a relatively simple homemade effort would be worth building. Thanks in advance, email address can be PM'ed.

Hi Mark, No worries, happy to help out! Starting fencing on your own can seem daunting, but with some basic tips, you'll be on the right track. Here are some general guidelines: Planning: Measure and map out the area you need to fence. Determine the type of stock you’re containing and choose appropriate materials. Tools and Materials: Ensure you have all the necessary tools (post knocker, wire strainers, etc.) and materials (posts, wire, staples). Post Placement: Space your posts evenly (typically 8-12 feet apart). Use a string line to keep them straight. Setting Posts: Use your Bryce post knocker to drive the posts deep enough for stability. Corner posts need to be particularly strong. Bracing: Install H braces at corners and gates to add strength. Ensure the horizontal brace is secure and level. Wire Tensioning: Attach and tension the wire properly. Start from one end and work your way to the other, maintaining consistent tension.

Hey everyone! Regarding the debate on the horizontal post in a Box End Assembly (H Brace) needing to be 2.5 times the fence height, here's a quick rundown: Fact: This length is recommended to distribute tension evenly and provide stability. The longer post helps counteract the forces exerted by the tensioned wires, ensuring the fence remains upright and durable. For more detailed insights, check out KKR Fencing & Outdoor Services.
