Fencing Through a Low Area

Today we are stretching woven wire fence though a low spot in the pasture. We are installing Boss posts to hold the fence down in this low area. Hopefully these posts will not pull out of the ground and keep the fence in place.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.

This is the best fencing video I've found. Everyone else is fencing on nice flat ground which is something we don't have where I live.

Here in Australia in this situation we would put in a skirt. Build your fence as close to level as you can. When you get to the collveit run a heavy wire between your two posts then attach chicken netting with wire rings to the wire, something heavy attached to the bottom I use gal pipe to hold it down. Animals won’t get out, but in big rains allowing it to raise up letting debris flow through without pushing your fence over 👍🏻 if in a big rain if something takes out your skirt you only have to fix that not your whole fence.

Always take your tractor and park it 6 ft past your last end post, secure your come along to the tractor then tighten fence. Put in staples on your end post (both ends) then take tractor with forks and pull fence down at your high spots.

@robinpearson4583 3 жыл бұрын

Evan, When you were attempting to pull the fence down by standing on it, if you had previously driven a screw in the post at the lowest level you wanted, with Rebecca's assistance you could have secured the fence at the required level before you stapled the fence to the post. Hope this helps, Cheers Robin.

An option also is to tension the fence off something past the end post. Something heavy like a truck, tractor or maybe a side by side using the electric winch

I think your idea of running a barb wire below the actual woven wire is a fantastic idea, one - which I have not come across yet. It will discourage animals digging in, or dogs digging out. Like you, I have undulating country, and will have to block off some small dips, to keep my dogs at home. Thank you for your patience and kindness - in passing on your experience.

They are becoming a big infomercial and not enjoyable to watch.
