Built 975 ft of high fence the last couple days at the ranch I manage. Watched it built before and look really easy so thought I’d give it a try. Bought materials and made a couple tools to make life easier. Wore unroller and stretcher bars. These were life savers. Don’t know how to post pictures so made a short video, with pictures and videos of the build. Was very easy to build and almost easier than 5 strand.

Nice Job!
The corners are 3 1/2 OD SS40 galvanized pipe 14 ft long and driven 6 ft deep. The kicker is 7 ft driven 6ft. The braces between corners are the same as the line post. 2 3/8s OD SS40 galvanized. Line post are 12 ft driven 4 ft. Wire is stay tuff 2096-6 and guide/straight line wire is just stay tight 50 two point barb. Used T gripples on corners and crimp sleeves in gut strain and wire connections. Lastly easy twist ties used with a drill and special chuck and hammer on galvanized caps.
Driver is a Montana post driver 750R and it’s a beast. All the other stuff I made.
This was a test run to see if I could build it. Test was a success so a bunch more coming my way.
