How To Apply T-Post Clips I THE EASY WAY

Фильм және анимация

Welcome to Meaningful Life Homestead!
The most difficult part of our fence building process has been applying fence ties/clips to the wire fencing on our T-Posts. If it is your first time tying up wire fencing, you could be in for a real headache. Thankfully for you, I am sharing my tips and tricks in the episode in hopes of saving your the trouble. It is so important to secure your fence to the T-Posts properly in order to keep your livestock safe. I have found that by using the right clip bending tool and adopting a step by step application process, tying fence can actual be a breeze!

    Lol, She found the most divers and handy tool EVER! made, and she calls it a Little Thingy. LoL I do not know how people did it before 1924, But I would like to thank William S. Petersen for the Vise-Grip. I'm sure this nice young Lady would as well, If she knew what Vise-Grips are called.

    Fence should be on the inside ant the post on the outside. That way the animals are pushing against the fence posts. The tool is a vise grip pliers. Adjust the grip with the screw on the end of the handle.

    ou want to flip your posts around and have the posts on the outside of the fence. That will help hold the fence up by the goat pushing the fence into your t-posts instead of pushing it away. Fence on the outside of post keeps things out. Fence on the inside keeps things in. You did do it correctly with fence on the nubs of post. 👍🏻

    Never had to do this type of work, but just by looking at what's involved, I would install the posts on the out side and wires on the inside with the small flat surfaces of the spikes on the post FACING UP so that wire can rest on them, thus keeping wire from slipping down the post when weight is applied to them. Feel free to correct me if its not correct to do so.

    yeah. i noticed that as well.🙂 I wasactually looking for an example of how to properly use Fence Pliers. It wont take long to find that. But, the jointed stick with the holes in it is a new one to me. Seems likely just a somewhat bent piece of rigid rod with hoes would work as well (depending on fence wire spacing). So far i have only needed to do a few (less than 10) at a time so i have been able to use slip joint or linemans pliers.

    what brand of clips are those? the ones I bought just say pop on and push down. I then pinched the ends to keep them on the wire. these looks nice and tight so I'd like to know if I got something inferior. Thanks.

    In my humble opinion, your fence is installed incorrectly. The fence should be on the side of the post that you're trying to either keep the animals INSIDE or OUT. In other words, because you are trying to keep your goats INSIDE, you would have the posts installed OUTSIDE the fence.
