Hey there homesteaders, My husband and I finally finished our last stretch of perimeter fencing on our recently purchased property if 3.3 acres. It was the first long stretch we ever did. The other sections were hired out or existing when we bought the property. Not too bad for a couple in their 50s! 😁 Just another skill in our toolbox 🧰 ✔️ Learn skill building:

Thanks! It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. T-posts go in the ground easy this part of Florida. Sandy soil.

Thanks! We were sore from pulling the wire fence end to end. The ground was too sloped down into the stream to get a vehicle in there. We have a few small repairs and a gate to put in on the east fencerow. I think that is planned for after our hot summer.☀️

Get the best quality you can afford for your situation. Fences last a long time if maintained well. Make sure you know how to put in an H-brace too. We watched lots of videos before we started. Plan for gates moving animals and getting around the fence for cutting down grass and weeds. All our fences are 15 feet off the property line so we can access on both sides. Hope that helps!😊
