I was new to small scale farming and found that there was very little practical advice about the right way to build various fences other than learning on the job, from friends and neighbors and such. I then found this book and it told me everything I needed to know from how to choose the right kind of fence to how deep to drive a t-post. I now have a lot of sturdy fences that should last a very long time. (by the way, drop by your local farm store and get a copy of the Galagher fencing manual if you plan on doing electric fences. Lots of good info there too).
Format:Paperback
Wow, I've never seen such an interesting approach to fences. I was not a keen enthusiast until I decided to buy a copy for my partner, who loves fencing his garden in the long summer days. We were undecisive about the fence in question, but when we read this we both instantly picked out the stunner which was to end all our arguments! if like us, not being able to agree on the same fence could drive you close to divorce, then buy this and save your marriage!

Good Basics
17 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We looked at the Fence Bible and a Guide to Stock Fencing. This book was better than both of them. It offers good basic fence building skills, expecially for building fences for livestock. Not a book for "pretty" urban fences.

Wonderful book filled with great examples
1 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
I was very impressed that this book went into so much detail about fencing. We are at the beginning stages of fencing in over 8,000 feet of fenceline and this book offered many wonderful suggestions that we had not thought of and will definately put to use now that we know better! Thank you so much for putting together such a great book for those who aren't very fence educated!
