Ha! Good catch! That is my "Lil Bit," who has since died (Chihuahua). At the time of this video, she was 18 yrs old, totally deaf, and almost completely blind. She was totally attached to me - felt secure when near me - and knew me by smell. She would cry loudly when she couldn't find me, so I began to carrying her around my neck in the little sack you see. I didn't realize she was in the frame until after the video was uploaded! ;-) I sure did love that little dog.

One of my uncles worked for the local power company. When he retired, they were going to decommission his truck so he bought it and a bunch of old power poles that had been replaced with new ones. If someone was replacing a barbed wire fence, they would call him and he would bring out some power poles. For corner or end post, he would cut them 15 feet long and dig a ten foot hole, lower the post into the hole, and then use his hydraulic tamper to pack the dirt around the pole. For a fence crossing a creek or a mid-fence gate, he would install full length poles on ether side and then install a cable across the tops so they would not spread apart. You could tension a 5-wire fence and those poles would not shift even a fraction of an inch and since they still had the creosote they were treated with in them, those post lasted for decades.

Great tip, and a lot easier than what I've been doing; putting two more posts 4ft each from the corner, with horizontal wooden braces near the top and angle braces from just below those on the corner post to the bottom of the brace posts. Maybe I'll combine my method with yours to make super corners.Renovating the whole perimeter fence this year as well as the one around the garden and grain field. Finally saved enough money to get at it. Thanks much for the video, and best wishes.

That's an awesome idea, I have a hyperactive German shepherd puppy in a small suburban backyard and she has destroyed the back lawn by running around on it all day in just 6 months of getting her as a 8wk old pup it's 99.9% just bare dirt now I need to come up with some very strong but 'temporary' method of fencing off the lawn area so she can't run around on it and pee on it while we sew and grow a new lawn or let (more expensive) turf to get established The cheapest method I can find is using old pallets (the plain generic ones that many factories leave outside and give away free as firewood) as fence panels and using steel star/Y pickets to hold them up and then maybe using plain wire to run around to top of the pickets to give a bit more height But I don't have any way of getting the pallets home, plus old pallets like that look odd and ugly if not painted etc for a suburban garden, but I can get a bundle of star pickets and a roll of wire fencing mesh home, but everyone said it won't work because he corner posts will get pulled over when under tension if I their not concreted in (permanently)....your genius tip is the solution, a couple of lengths of 4x2 on each side of the picket and I can still pull the star pickets back out when I have to move at some stage in the future :) thanks for solution

She has become so dependent on me that I carry her around in that sack around my neck most of the time. Funny, she hung there on that fence without budging most of the time...she shifted around once to get comfortable. The secret was that every few minutes I'd go over there and love on her a bit and let her smell me again...

@perfectlawministries 11 жыл бұрын

That's a GREAT question, Dan. I have found that the dryer, the better, and not just because of the eventual rotting of the wood. When I have installed posts using this method following a rainy period when the earth is still wet deep down near the bottom of the hole, I don't end up with as tight a fit as I'd like. Obviously if it's wet near the top, it's very difficult to get a tight fit with the "key," too. I've done it, mind you, but I'm not nearly as happy with the result.

Yep, in that case you double key. In that case, the first key is placed twice as deep (twice the width of the key) so that you can place the second perpendicular.

@perfectlawministries 12 жыл бұрын

Holding up great! I'm sorry I'm not familiar with "tailings." Would they be diagonal bracing? If so, then yes indeed they will do the trick. I have them on posts we set in ground that wasn't firm enough at the time to use only the key system. Regarding keying in all directions, certainly! A post can be keyed in all four directions if the hole is deep enough and there is enough post beneath the surface, though the deepest two of the four keys will be difficult to install, (cont.)

Thanks, Brooke. We've actually done the same (combine them) on those fence lines with really long runs of fence.

+Celeste Pinney Her name was "Lil Bit" the chihuahua, and at the time of the video she was completely blind and deaf and totally attached to me by sense of smell.

I didn't realize she was in the frame of the video until I was editing and it was too late! Just as well, as she's gotten more comments than the method I was demonstrating. ;-) She live to the ripe old age of 18. I sure miss her.

Awesome tutorial video. Please keep making more videos. So what does the whole garden enclosure look like?

What diameter post did you go with 6" or 8" and why did you only build a 5 foot tall fence for a garden when a deer can easily jump that. I am wanting to build a garden fence and it would be a lot cheaper to do a 5 foot so thought you might have a good reason.

A type of deadman. Nice, I seldom think of using them.

Haha yeah I wasn't questioning it by any means, I'm just not used to this method, it seems like a good penny pinching method for sure.

About that untreated 2x4 key, give it a char with fire thats called burn treated. Termites do not prefer wood that is well done they like wood raw. If the wood is pressure treated do not burn treat.

ha - you are TOO kind! I promise I'm just a guy - most days I don't feel anything like an expert. lol We were blessed to have some old folks in our life at one time who knew how to do ANYTHING. You can read about them at AldermanFarms (dot) net / Acknowledgments if you'd like. I do have a couple more fence videos on the other channel. I hope they help you!! Thanks again for your kindness.
