In this video we are sharing some of our barbed wire fencing mistakes and also showing you how we are building our gabion basket fence posts as the brace for our fence.

We are Douglas and Keri! In May of 2022 we quit our jobs and sold our home in Denver, Colorado to move to our off grid homestead property in the high desert of Cochise County, Arizona. Follow along with us as we build our homestead from the ground up!

(UPDATE 7/21/2023: Get our FREE EBook "9 Steps To Getting Off The Grid" at [ Ссылка ] Having been off grid for a year now, we think these 9 steps are CRITICAL before you start your off grid journey!)

It feels like this fence is taking us FOREVER!!! And, along the way we made some barbed wire fencing mistakes that we hope you can learn from :) With the very intense monsoon season, we have had a lot of rain and lightning delays, so we are taking a bit longer than we expected! BUT, once the fence is done, it’s DONE!

Our three (3) main reasons for the fence are:

To fence OUT livestock because Arizona is a “fence out” state meaning livestock can wander around and graze on your land and it’s up to the property owner to protect their land from this.
To fence IN the livestock that we will have some day soon.
To create a barrier to people accidentally or purposefully wandering onto our property. An example of this would be a hunter who is crossing our land to get to public lands to legally hunt.

As most of you know we have a TON of rocks on our property which is actually AWESOME because they are a 100% FREE RESOURCE…woohoo!!! So, some areas of the fence we were unable to drive the T post in very far, so we are making gabion baskets around the saggy T posts to fortify the fence and we think they look pretty cool too!

For the gabion baskets, we used these things and here are the prices at the time of this video:

*Concrete mesh from Home Depot…$309 for 5 foot high and 150 foot roll: [ Ссылка ]

*14 gauge wire to connect the 2 sides of the basket together…$7.93 for a 100 foot roll:

*ROCKS…luckily free for us :)

Once again, thanks for following along with us and we hope to inspire you to live your best life, whatever that might mean for you!
