As a small fence company I love watching these videos and I feel like I would get along with y'all well and y'all's sense of humor...only time I've ever double wrapped is h braces for state inspected fence according to their requirements

As a lifetime fence man I double wrap because it's easier for me to tighten it and keep it slipping up and down. As for strength probably not.

We double wrap all of our barb wire only to add convenience for the rancher on the off chance they have to undo. Then they will have a fresh piece to re-wrap

The upper part of your legs aint seen sun since you used to swim in the lake as a child. Great look 🤠 !! Love your videos. With your help I went from total n00b to building my own ~3,500+ foot fence in about a month. Now I like fencing so much I might start a company doing it.

Well done gentlemen!

Stubbies are an Australian thing and a Kiwi is a person from New Zealand. I am sure the Kiwis do like to copy us Australians, but i think you meant "...all the Aussies that use these in their ordinary fencing adventures". Surprisingly that is the thing that triggered me the most in this video :P. Good video. I had this argument with my neighbor a few years ago because i single-wrapped. I wish i had this video back then. Thanks for the quality content.

Professional fencer from Canada here. A double wrap in our area will earn you a lifetime of ridicule. I didnt know professional s ever doublewrapped because it's only hacks that ever do it here.

You should make a fixture out of a tube and tie off to simulate a fence post to stretch from so it’s not killing the wire with the gripper. Granted 1200 lbs is probably tighter than you’ll ever stretch fence, it would just be cool to see the gripper eliminated as a cause of failure.

I feel personally Vindicated... And I'm still waiting for the couch fencers videos.

Nice sweatshirt on the ground!

From slipping up or down

The public and their opinions is off the charts.

Hold on, hold on; about the ratchet strainers and springs... I build a lot of fence each year for a non-pro (10-20 miles) so I really want some clarification here. And before people get all riled up, I actually want to learn other people’s ways and techniques, not just start crap on a comment board, so don’t take this as a threat to YOUR way of doing it, I’m questioning MY way of doing it. I use ratchet strainers and springs on each strand of HT smoothe wire every quarter or half mile depending on turns and stuff. I terminate about the same interval as well. I do so for shock absorption from deer hitting the wire and stretch for when trees fall on the fence. It seems to work great. The wire only vibrates from the deer and pops right back up when you cut off the tree. It would be WAY cheaper to not use them. So what do y’all do? Just strain them by feel from the end and tie off? How about tree and deer damage without them?

But you guys were doing it wrong! 😜

Hi lads. Enjoy the channel from Ireland. So are you saying ratchet strainers are a waste of time? What does everyone else think?

What diameter pipe do you use for the corners? And I'm guessing you can't drive those corners with a handheld gas powered driver?

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! My daddy is spinning in his grave. You have to use a double wrap. And two staples, too! My goodness! Do I need to hire a spiritualist and channel his spirit to convince you? (I kinda want to do it just so I can ask him what size staples to use on metal posts.) •grin•

Nice video calling out the trolls. Where the hell did you get that safety Jacket?

what about crimps?

Mark, you seem real edgy for a a man in shorts and boots...Just joking- you rock

Stretchers the weakest point every time, apart from the gripple

Those shorts... Cringe!!! 😵

Who wears short, shorts! Lol
