How To Build A High Tensile Electric Fence

This is probably the cheapest fence to install but still gets the job done

nice video

Thanks for the tips. Several common sense things to do but I hadn’t ever thought of. The cable clamps are one for sure.

Just found your channel in the process now of putting in fence post. I'm also in SOMO and this rain we finally got sure is helping with the process of driving them in. I appreciate the video. Very helpful. Gonna follow the channel.

To pull top strand first to get post straight is not true. Run bottom stand drive post then rest of wire. Even if you drive a post at 30 degrees the tension of the wire will bring all in line perfectly. I am only a contractor so don't know what talking about. That wire should have at least 2k lbs of pull at install and will stretch over the next few days then remain tight as it warms or cool dure to outside temps

I am also in MO down on the AR border. Just laying out so I can place my order. Why are you using steel t-posts instead of the newer plastic posts?

Barbed wire is more popular ONLY because it's cheaper and mostly easier, point blank period! It's NOT better! I'd rather have an electric fence as he describes in this video.

Oh and trust me when I say, a twisted t-post would keep me up all night. So you and I are the only 2. 😆

When you ran into and bounced off the fence 🤣

Nice fence, here in New Zealand, we use a lot of electric fences, for dividing paddocks, for dairy cows, and beef, some farmers use 3 H.T.wires [ two electric wires] wooden posts , 6 ft long, and strainers posts 7-8 ft driven in the ground, in softer ground, put a 8 x2 x 14 inch treated block in front of strainer [ under ground.

We enjoyed watching your video!

Thx Andrew, this is one of the most comprehensive and detailed explanations of how and why high-tensile works. Thx. I think I'll go with the Timeless model of fencing.

Great job! Excellent video and funny touches was entertaining.

Good job, and by 180 long ft. Of that fence materials and labor how much could be? Thanks.

How many earth spikes needed on a 25 hectors of land

Im new to using electric fence, my question is should each strand end at some point without touching the wire where you start ? And run 1 single wire down touching each hot wire

Maybe I'm over thinking this (and probably so) but I'm wanting to install 7 wires. My question is will I need 7 black insulators per corner post per side such that at 1 corner posts I'll have 7 going one direction and 7 going the other direction? And then install a jumper to keep things electrified?

It's staples because that's what is on the 50 pound box.

very new to this so please forgive me.....with the wire tensioners in the middle of the wire run, will the electrical current travel thru the tensioners or....do you have to energize the wire on both sides of the tensioner. 🤔🤷....and yes, Im serious....im just stumped up here in Iowa. Must be the Canadian wild fire smoke.

This was an excellent video. 🎉 will be installing based on this today. Greetings from Arkansas!

Nicely done from southern Manitoba Canada. Good info

Great video. Thanks for the info.
What is your post configuration/spacing? Do you use tposts for the all the line posts or do you add wood every so often?

I totally understand the crooked post. That bothers me as well. New follower.
