Fence End Assembly Tips That Save Time, Money & Injuries

Most fence failures start at the end assembly.
These small setup decisions make fences safer, faster, and last years longer.

In this on-farm session, Tim walks through practical fence end assembly techniques with a contractor who builds kilometres of fence—often working solo. The focus isn’t theory or brand hype, but simple systems that improve safety, speed, and long-term fence performance.

You’ll see why avoiding welding in dry conditions matters, how brace height affects post jacking, and a smarter way to loop cable stays so they’re reusable, safer around horses, and easier to modify later. These are the kinds of details that separate a fence that lasts decades from one that slowly fails.

This video is especially useful for:
• Farmers and graziers building their own fences
• Contractors working alone or with small crews
• Horse property owners concerned about safety
• Anyone wanting stronger fences with less rework

We also cover top brace placement, vibration control with tech screws, and why keeping systems simple reduces mistakes under pressure.

If you value hands-on experience, clear reasoning, and practical decision-making, this one’s for you.
