How to Build High Tensile Fence - Part 5: Installing Wire and Insulators

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In Part 5 of “How to Build High Tensile Fence,” we demonstrate assembling a corner brace, paying out wire around bracing, and how to terminate at end posts. You’ll also learn how to position and load various insulator styles onto high tensile wire in the proper sequence.

    Thanks so much for this series of videos - going to be doing a tensile install here soon. Two questions; 1) Why do you start the wire around the corner instead of at the corner? 2) What do you do with any severe dips/change in elevations?

    Hi Matt, good questions. I'll try to answer thoroughly to cover all the bases of your questions. 1) We terminated around the end of the corner brace at the upper end (the end with a complete corner brace assembly) simply because of my future fence plans, normally the run would continue down the fence line, unless we were planning for a gate opening there. In most cases you will only be terminating at end posts where gate openings occur and wire would continue around all corners and bends. It is better to continue around corners than to terminate at a corner posts from both angles. In our case, the fence was not continuing downhill so we treated that corner assembly as an end post/gate opening. 2) Severe dips, rises, and elevation changes require bracing in those locations. High Tensile can do rolling topography well, but the more severe cases should be braced. Drive a post at the point of elevation change and then build an H brace on each side of it to support it in both directions. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

    Thank you for the videos and fast shipment of my fence equipment. I have one question you have 6 strands 3 hot 3 ground. Where does the 3 ground wire connect to? I know the ground rods connect to the energizer and to each other. But where does the ground wires of the fence connect to? Thank you

    What wire spacing do you prefer and how many are hot?

  • @KencoveFarmFence

    Wire spacing and configuration is truly dependent on your specific context and the species of animal. With five or six strand designs, usually two or three wires are electrified. There is no one-size-fits all answer, but we can give you solid recommendations for various species of livestock. Please give us a call at 1-800-536-2683 and we'd be happy to help you come up with the best configuration based on your needs!

    What are your recommendations for wire strainers? I've noticed there are heavy duty and standard wire strainers. Are the strainers used in your H-brace construction standard duty? And what applications would you need one versus the other?

  • @KencoveFarmFence

    @KencoveFarmFence

    Hi Charlie, Heavy Duty vs Standard seems like some box-store brand strainers. For us, the two style strainers are Donalds or Hayes - and really the difference comes down to your preference. We are partial to the KIWI strainers, because they are made in the USA, hot-dip galvanized, and quality tested. For quicker and easier installation, the KIWI Quick End strainer is highly recommended. If you do prefer to crimp, we do have the standard KIWI Strainer. You can find both of those, and several other options, here: kencove.com/fence/Original%20KIWI%20Strainer_detail_SAS.php

    Hello - Are you referring to the H-Brace at the ends and corners? If so, we use the same wire as our line wire, MaxTen 12.5 ga. You can see that video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoaut7p7kdjFZZM.html

    I have no idea if I run my wire around my whole pasture area or terminate at each corner for tensioning purposes? I have 5 braces total

    You can run high tensile around many corners and bends before you need to terminate. We only terminate where we want gate openings. More bends and corners only means you may have to install more strainers to evenly tension the wire the whole way around. Terminating at each corner can introduce issues when trouble shooting when each strand has a jumper wire connecting it to the next run of fence. If those connections are not neat and tidy, we have seen it cause a really headache for people trying to track down issues on their electric fence.

    Personally I don't really want to mess with putting those wires diagonal in your H brace so I would rather put maybe a 3rd vertical post with an N brace or have an N brace below your horizontal H brace between the same 2 vertical posts or something like that to avoid needing those wires.

    If the wires seem like too much of a hassle you might want to try a quick brace! kencove.com/fence/_detail_HQBS12.php See one in use in our video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZaCr8F8YtKxg5M.html

    Dumb question here but using an in-line tensioner still allows you to electrify the entire run?

  • @KencoveFarmFence

    @KencoveFarmFence

    3 күн бұрын

    Not a dumb question at all! Yes, an in-line tensioner acts as part of the wire and the entire run can be electrified.
