Tim Curtis demonstrates true ingenuity and a sustainable attitude to living in harmony with his business and surrounds, well done!

Those star picket extensions look like a great Australian invention. i wish i was a farmer. As usual a terrific presentation Tim.

Thank you for this post video I’ve never found my exclusion fence for my new farm in the Rushworth area Victoria thank you again for Tim for this excellent video

Great job Tim, always looks forward to your films, can always learn something from you. Also your final, new fence looked very very neat.

Great video Tim. However....... Wombats! We live in an area with a lot of wombats, and they are the worst, they would easily get under V4 and when they do, everything else follows. The apron is not wide enough and to keep wombats out you need it on both sides, because they will come both directions. I think this shows excellent trial and error, methods and the way you handled the roo issues with farming was excellent

Fantastic love it

Thanks Tim, bloody awesome video, you have given me a couple of solutions to a fencing issue I have, cheers

good job mate I like all the innovations shown there especially the barb wire trolley

Good job

Good clip Tim, probably your best so far.

Two thumbs up. Liked this enough that I went and bought a hoodie. :)

This video was very helpful. We are in the Kootenay region of British Columbia and this fall we had a young bear get through our perimeter electric fencing. We were having so much rain the fence voltage was not running at its highest. We don't have a lot of sheep, but we lost 3 pregnant ewes and have been trying to think of ways to add height to the fence as soon as all the snow melts, because unfortunately as soon as it comes out of hibernation that bear bear will be back 5 months older and very hungry.

Great video keep it up very informative. Could you do a video on the basics of planning for a new fence install. Discussing length of run and how a 5km fence install is different to 500m. the impact is has on how often you have strainers, intermediates and droppers. What the longest run one can strain is etc. Many thanks

Look forward to the Electrick fence alternative system

The throw away line "obviously new posts won't weld" is probably an urban myth (or a rural myth). HIgher carbon steels are weldable, Bunnings sell a flux cored wire for higher carbon steels!

Great Video with some excellent tips I may be able to use on my next job. We did a similar exclusion fence, using existing star pickets (spaced a little far apart for the best job but it works) and a pickex product made of plastic. It just slipped over the existing pickets. There were also existing end assemblies that had to be extended. Then 2 runs of 7 90 30 hinge joint and a plain top for extra support, we have a 1.8Mtr high fence that only the biggest roos go over. I agree with tims comments the young ones go under and also through. It required constant attention for the first few months but now they seem to be trained and mostly leave it alone. We are about to tackle version 2 on our eastern boundary using long steel posts and closer spacings probably 5 Mtrs. We also discovered when faced with the obstacle of the new fence that they cannot easily get through will travel long distances to try and find a way round. At our place it is a klm or so to the east but they found their way round.

Great to see such practical cost effective solutions inc the early versions that weren’t perfect but are still doing a pretty good job. So often contractors just say “rip it out and start again”. Do you have a video and or are you planning a video on ways of upgrading 4 and or 5 barb with hinge joint - in particular I’d like to see attaching the new hinge joint with built in HT top and bottom wire onto existing timber split posts with 4 or 5 strand barb already there.

You guys should check out Greg Judy from Missouri over in the USA. That guy has the best electric fence ideas.

Tim...at 16:16 you mention "the link above" for watching your tying off and termination knot, but...it's not there! I see a wire spinner buying guide, a Whites factory tour and a strainer review. Seconds later (at 16:23) we see...GRIPPLES! This is a bit of a surprise, considering how much you've bagged them in the past. Have I missed something here...?

Both Tims, any deer or kangaroos hung up in these fences? They get hung in plain wire as much as barbed wire - I heard your comment about trying to prevent them being hung up.

Hello Tim. Great video with an excellent insight into roo and deer behaviour. You mentioned a future video on electric exclusion fencing. Is this available yet? Cheers!

Awesome video, Tim. From Canada, that's some beauty country there. Tim, has anyone showed you TimeLess Fence systems? Insulated. recycled vynal T-posts? Greg Judy raves about them. (have you heard of Greg Judy, Tim?)

Tim what if you were to tie pieces of plastic marking tape zig zagged along the fence that moves in the wind. Then Roos will see the movement and possibly not even try jumping over the fence.

What was the info about no longer being able to weld star pickets anymore? Some weird alloy or the gas from the grindable galv coating?

Why cant you concrete posts in??

Tim, a 9m post distance was mentioned, what's the typical distance between strainers there?

Would cattle push these over or get through?

Hi Tim--Why not concrete in fenceposts?
