  • should of streched the wire better and didnt need those wooden post in the middle and gate should of been tightr a cow can easiy go trough that gate

  • Around here, that style gate is called a 'Dutch Gate' because they're so cheap and easy. Just like the Dutch.

    :P

    I kid!!

    Seriously though, they're called dutch gates.

  • @Smithy2829 But....as I said, you can't SAFELY put livestock in...do cows not respond to mild electricity? Part of the reason I ask is because I have spent the past several months pulling down barbed wire fences and pondering "why would ANYONE handle this shit!"

  • Thank you, great video and great explanation. 1 hour for you and 2 or 3 for me.

  • @IronFreePony Because if you use smooth wire it won't keep livestock in. Fences are more a deterrent then anything else. If a cow wants to get to the other side of the fence it will find a way though it.

  • Why does anyone use barbed wire? What purpose? You can't safely put livestock in it, so why bother dealing with the additional agony of handling it?

  • Don't double wrap your wire around the free side of the post. Otherwise you wont be able to tighten the gate as the wire sags. Also don't drive your staples "home" leave room for the wire to move freely through the staple. This will not only allow you to tighten the fence but will let the fence bend when force is applied, For example a falling tree. Remember that, that does not bend must break.

  • Thanks for posting! I'm watching it from Brazil and i ll make my own now! Thanks for the University spreading info around as all colleges should do!

  • Very informative! thanks for sharing this vid with us. you should have a look at our fencing channel too.
