Preparing for fencing

1
Preparing for fencing

• Make sure that appropriate fencing tools are
  selected for job to be performed
• Fencing work procedures can be separated into the
  following areas requiring different tools
• Fence demolition wire cutters, pliers, hammer,
  sledge hammer, chain, bucket, shovel, crow bar

Preparing for fencing

• Vehicles and machinery required to assist in
  fence demolition can include
• Tractor, trailer, ute, carry all, quad bike,
  truck, front end loader
• Personal protective equipment required for fence
  demolition will include
• Eye protection goggles or safety glasses, sun
  glasses

6
Preparing for fencing

• Hand protection
• Riggers gloves or similar
• Foot wear
• Leather safety boots or similar
• Sun protection
• Broad brimmed hat or similar and sun block
• Clothing
• Long sleeved shirt and long trousers

7
Fence demolition hazards include

• Possible dangers from sharp ends on wire
• Rusty barbed wire
• Unsafe work practices
• Heavy posts
• Run overs
• Crushing and laceration dangers
• Bites etc
• Sun radiation

8
Carrying out fence installation, repair and
maintenance

• Select suitable PPE gloves, safety glasses,
  broad brimmed hat, long sleeved shirt and
  trousers, sun block
• Make sure you select suitable tools and equipment
  for the type of fencing work you are to perform
• This will require you to take into consideration
  the type of materials being used in the
  construction or for maintenance of the particular
  fence to be worked on

9
Carrying out fence installation, repair and
maintenance

• Always repair and maintain fencing tools
  immediately a problem is detected or as soon as
  possible
• Always place small pieces of wire or staples in a
  container and never leave them lying around as
  they do cause the death of animals when swallowed
• Never leave fencing tools on ground, place them
  back into tool box or carrier immediately when
  finished use
• Store tools away from moisture and weather

Wire knots

• In all types of wire and all fencing products, a
  knot lowers the actual breaking load of a line of
  wire
• This lowering of the braking force is of
  particular relevance to the double loop and bull
  wire knots. The double loop cannot be recommended
  for use with plain wire. The bull wire not cannot
  be recommended under any circumstances
• In all plain fencing wire, the figure of 8 knot
  decreases the breaking force less than other
  knots and tends to be the most consistent

20
Wire knots

• The pin and loop knot is quite satisfactory,
  especially for short strains or where the minimum
  amount of tension is to be lost
• The higher the tensile strength of the wire, the
  less consistent the knots and the greater the
  tendency to lower the breaking force relative to
  the strength of the wire
• Knots in barbed wire, both 2.5 mm and 1.57 mm
  high tensile, do not vary sufficiently to justify
  recommendation of a particular. Ease of tying
  becomes the deciding factor
• Hinged joint should be joined picket to picket

Strainer assemblies

• Strainer assembly is are also known as fence
  ends, strainers or strainer posts
• Strainer assemblies are the most important
  structure in any fence, if they fail the whole
  fence fails. Therefore, it is worth the time
  taken to ensure that the strainer assemblies are
  erected correctly and are strong enough for the
  job that is required of them.

Strainer assemblies
The functions of the strainer assembly are to
provide

• And immovable anchorage
• A structure for the straining and time of fence
  wire
• The start and finish of fence lines
• Directional and all
• Topography are made
• A structure from which to swing gates

Remember that the strength of a new line post is
in how well you ram the dirt back in around
it.Driven posts require the small end to be in
the ground. (It will help ease of driving if
there is a pilot hole drilled and post has a
point).
