- So, we just went and got all this stuff we're gonna need because
we have super big plans. (upbeat music) Okay here we go, we good? We are heading there, you ready? (vehicle engine revving) What we're gonna do is
we're gonna build some fence and we're gonna actually test concepts. So we're gonna build some wired up braces the old fashioned way, and then we're gonna build
some braces out of pipe. We're gonna drive all the posts, and then we're gonna run a car into it and see which one holds up better. I have my pick on the metal fence. So what we're trying to
do is bring awareness to the better ways to build fence. Wideout is not doing it right. Most of the DOTs around the world, not doing fence right. We're gonna show you the correct way, not the farmer way but
not the wide out way but the correct way to build a really good high quality fence. So we just picked up all
this stuff over here. We've got our standard
white up brace post here. We've got some crosspieces, the straps or whatever you wanna call them. And below we have all the metal pipes to build a high quality fence along with high tensile wire versus the low carb and heavier duty looking wire, the white up requires and this is the stuff farmers are using. Our is usually a lot
lighter than that even. So, we'll show you a little
bit of the farmer way a little bit of the wide out way. And then we're gonna show you the way we think you guys should
be building fence to get the absolute toughest
fence, bull tough. That's what we're looking for. So we went and tried to
find the Ford Taurus. We really struggled trying to
find a Ford Taurus, you know because Taurus ¨The Bull¨. Yeah, I get it. But we did find the Chevy Impala and that's gonna be our
bull for these tests. (engine revving) All these poles are
supposed to go five feet in. ♪'One, two, three, listen ♪ (upbeat music) ♪'okay ♪ (upbeat music) Alright, so we just got
done using our Strainrite Strainer board stretch up the wire and we got some hopefully
fairly tidy knots not too crappy wild all the
way down, proper terminations. We've got nice, easy twist ties. And down here, we've got the same thing. It's loaded up. We should have probably driven these. They're a little bit harder for them, but at any rate I should
have probably recorded how much they flexed it. We did get quite a bit
of flex out of this one because I didn't bend it
back like I should have. We'll see where we're at now. Right now, we're-- I don't know, If I hadn't put that in there we would've been about 2 ml but we're about a quarter above loss. So that was my bad. And you can see, as far as tension is concerned to between two and 250 could have maybe
got a little tighter but, Ben's is, this is only
about a 40 to 50 foot run. That's not too bad. We'll go build that
other fence down there. The crappy wide out style,
real wide out standard farmer the farmer special, whatever
you want to call it. We'll build that. That'll vary. Do some testing. Let's talk about the
way this is being done. Typical fashion is the saw notch in here which we will then put our rail in. As you can see, this is a this actually came from
a Wideout approved trader and it's garbage. Post's absolute trash, no tread. We've already cut through all the treads, so that opens us up to
the elements and makes it so that we could end up
having failure right here. Because the other thing we see is that a lot of the beginners and poor fence builders don't
know how to fit these well. And they've got crappy saws. And so you'll end up
having the rail up here, well, right just through in there. And if they don't fit it right, you'll have all kinds of gaps
and it'll just look nasty. And if it doesn't fit flush it's not doing its job that
can let the post twist. So, and that's what you see if you go back and inspect all these. Now what we're gonna
to do at the other end, is we'll show you a better way to do that where you don't cut into the tread. And you're not relying on
nails to hold that rail. And there you actually have some pins. So the very least wide
out could do is switch to a different style
where you're not cutting through the tread if they're gonna insist on using wood posts. Three nails, these are I don't know, how long are these nails? These are 40-- We're gonna make dang
good and sure We built it at least up to specs. Six inch whatever that is. (hummer clacking) We get accomplish all this, the brace. (hummer clacking) It's not cool doing Wideout
building this.(whispers) (hummer clacking) (groans) Okay. Got it. So here, started cutting with our axes, we just drove a three eight
sprays Penn about that to there. On this side, we braced
the penn a little bit So this is the farmer brace. We'll call it the farmer
brace with the twist. If we're gonna use brace fence instead of doing far more end notching I'm in. Just say if it makes a difference, which I don't think it will. We'll do this and halt, (hummer clacking) about that far. And then we can hang
our twitch wire on that. (upbeat music) Two wraps of barbless wire.
We'll do two wraps same way. Obviously we gonna tie out
this rope here, pull that ways. So the push wires run diagonally this way to be able to help. So here's what we're
using for the built-ins. Last one, I asked him specifications. So it's got a top and a
bottom wire, nine gauge and then it doesn't matter. Nothing gets HW. It's just all low carbon wires trash. (engine revving) That Was great. Back when they were settling the claims, that's not where we're at today. We've come a long ways. Grandpa's way of doing things, is no longer the best way of doing things. They don't make butter by
churning it every day anymore, but that's still the
way we're building fence because some engineer
somewhere at some point in time decided this is the way we need to be building barbed wire fences. They learned from their grandpa, and they're wrong. If you're an engineer,
this is the wrong way to build a fence. You do not build barbed
wire fence like this. Even if you're gonna use wood
doing diagonals like that is much more effective. But the fun part it's
when we get it tested. I have no idea what's gonna happen. I've never intentionally run
a car head on into a fence, let alone two different
types of fences right next to each other. The best way to cut these is
to cut that wire right there. However, I don't have Knipex pliers. I have these. So the other best way is to
cut halfway in between each one of these stays like I've done. Fold this over as far as you can get it, take your plier and bend that around and that kinda unlocks that joint and allows this to freely slide off. Sometimes you have to kinda straighten out
these tension cramps. And try to manage to get
this fixed knots off. So we showed you how we tie
off a high tensile wire. Nice, neat, and clean leaving
all of these on there. That's pretty much standard
practice in the farm. And wide out DOT in general. I say I pick on wide out and that's only because I know wide out. But all the DOTs basically
run the same crap. All this passes, you've got a double wrap. You got four twists. You're good to go. This wire here. This is eight 32. And I think that's maybe eight
39 or something like that. They've got the same amount of line wires just the difference is low carbon. And these are a lot heavier than the 12 and a half gauge high carbon, high tensile wires over there. So how they hold up, we'll see. This is a Strainrite board, Strainrite. Farmfit Solutions can
hook you up with one. You've never seen one. This is like a new
thing with, two-by-four. Grandpa's been nailed
on two by fours together and he is not wired for awhile. And none came along the wedge boards that you drove wedge just down this way, but this is about a hundred times better than one of those pieces of crap. Clear again, it's about
having the right tools to do the job. We can pull on this thing like crazy. And we will only get this low-carbon wire. We'll see what kind of
potential we can get on it. It just starts stretching on the low carbon wire high
carbon wireless stretch. And it'll just hit its
breaking button great. This stuff will just stretch and stretch and stretch and stretch. So chances are when we hit this thing it'll just stretch it all
out and maybe break it. The ends will be fine. Let's see what happens. (hammer clanking) And I don't wanna hear any
crap about my attire today because you need to
work around your house. Do you get all your
cards out and everything? No, no you don't. You just are cautious
about what you're doing. I'm wearing all this stuff. I don't have to burn on me, being cautious about what I'm doing. Same way we put up razor wire. We'll put up razor wire
and our t-shirts is if you are wearing heavy
thick clothing and stuff, you get too aggressive with it and then it'll jab into your really bad. You wear a t-shirt and you're really cautious
and really careful. And wrap that around there
and you can see this. Bottom wire bundle is
always a joy. Always a joy. - [Speaker two] Bundle of joy? - Yeah. Stiff nine gauge trying to wrap it. But we didn't cut any corners. We actually drove the posts deeper than what we needed to drive them. With just longer posts we
needed to on the wide out stuff. Nobody can accuse us. We got all the nails in there. So if it fails, it doesn't
perform as well as the other one. It won't be because we didn't try Okay. Now we are loosening it. Do we think the barbed wire matters? I don't know. I'm not going to put the bar
bar on because that is not going to save this fence. (machine buzzing) Boom. (machine buzzing) These are shooting nine gauge staples. So it's not like little drill staples. See, that's a pretty good fit right there. Some of the fits even worse than that. When you go like a highway
fence, that's a pretty good fit. There's still Thursday light. That's a really good fit. And that's a pretty good fit But there are some crap fits. I've seen some where
there's a half inch gap. It's absolute trash. So just avoid notching all together. So for the people that
haven't ever seen these, these are easy twist. These ties don't come off. (drill screeching) Which is good. We're going to run a car into this. We don't want anything
failing prematurely. Somebody saying we had entire the fence get enough or something. (drill screeching) Bingo! She's tight. This is not like I
bolted them with my hands and I got it super tight, tight. This is like, I've pulled it up the truck and got it tight, tight. That's some tight wire. I got them both really snug. We didn't measure doctor. Okay. Maybe it loosened up and
maybe this is all Slack now. Argh, how about that Olson? He just didn't get it tight. (upbeat music) - [Speaker two] Yeah. - [Speaker one] I'm going to
say we're between 150 and 200. So that's a good tightening. If you think you get your wire tight, get one of these and find out
if you really get it tight. You might be surprised at
how tight you don't get it. ProTech brought to you by ProTech.B240T Pounder, that thing's a beast. If you need a skid-steer
pounder, that's the one for ya and you can come talk to us. We can get you hooked up with that. Tornado wire, Strainrite
stuff, whatever you saw. You saw any of it today, we can get you hooked up here at SWI. Anyhow, tomorrow we wreck some stuff. - [Speaker 1] Tomorrow it's on. We're taking that car over there and we're gonna ram it
right into the fence and we're going to see what happens. You good? You ready? - [Speaker Two] Of course (car engine revving)
