Breaking Stuff Fencestay test - Over-tensioning a fence to test the end assemblies

This week I go back into the paddock to test the Fencestay end assemblies for strength. I deliberately over tension 2.65mm HT wire and get well over one and a half tons of tension onto the assembles, then measure the movement. I get some surprising results. Please note that over tensioning a fence like this is not recommended and will actually weaken your fence, not somehow "Make it better". Subscribe for a new video each week!

Morning mate yes I can vouch for this product that's exactly how it transfers the pressure I hiave used this product and deliberately over strained it for my own test purposes over a 280 metre distance with 5 wires and it did not disappoint. The way the leverage is set up they can not pull over very happy with them

Thanks for going to the effort of making a great video Tim. It was nice and easy to watch. And it looks like you had a good time making it. Anyone that is a self confessed “Tip Rat” deserves some air time.

Good idea 👍 I will use this product on my property but I plan to concrete the posts in and leave them for a week or two to cure.

Avoid concrete mate. Creates problems down the track.

Just as I thought.a base cross strainer also will add more strength too.don’t forget to answer the question still withstanding😉

Soil type would massively impact the results. For instance after heavy rain in clay that might lift up. Future video idea could be fencing in different soil types

Damn. You’re right. I think getting an engineer to talk about post size would be a ripper idea.......

They look the goods alright. ...and if you had nearly 2 tonne of pressure on the end assembly I think you'd have bigger issues than it creeping through the ground tbh.

The fence stay system looks good... Do they make one for junctions like paddock corners? or do you need two separate assemblies? another great video. I'm now looking for a local seller.

I am doing repairs and Maintenance on old fence - using the Wireman Strainer with a Tension Gauge - what is the tension that I should be straining to ?

@FarmLearningTim Жыл бұрын

Depends on the wire. The strain rating is usually 1/3 the breaking strength. For most 2.5mm HT wire this is 1.8KN

@jonathanreynolds7619 Жыл бұрын

Hey Tim, I'm doing a horse mesh fence soon 1.8m tall with 19 line wires. What would you expect the strain to be to get it tight enough? About 2000kg? Cheers

@FarmLearningTim Жыл бұрын

19 line wires eh? Talk about sucker for punishment…. Yep, sounds about right, they normally recommend about 100kg per line wire on prefab.

Used one of these supplied by client. Disturbed my OCD that the brace wasn't a brace but a stay. Didn't like the tech screw idea, alright for temp fencing, but the tech screws look dodgy and unprofessional.

Tim, love ur videos. Just wondering why most of ur runs is 80m. We r abt to run 100m, is there a restriction or max length? Thx.

@FarmLearningTim 3 жыл бұрын

It’s because of my location. I have that length run.... you can run 500m rolls if you have the strength to strain them!

@@FarmLearningTim wats the recommendation of the galvanised pole for end assembly. Prior to watching your video, we were going for 25nb or 33.7mm pole at 3m inserting 0.6m into the ground.

@FarmLearningTim 3 жыл бұрын

@Jementa T I would go deeper than that. Typically you would go for a 2.1m end post for a 1.2m high fence. Diameter depends on soil type, expected stress, and fence lengths. The bigger the diameter the stronger. Period.
