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).

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.

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!

Very good book to learn everything about building fences. The book provides the little details the average person doesn't notice or know about fencing, and need to know if one is going to build their own fence. My husband and I are fencing the perimeter 25 acres ourselves to save approx. $20k that a fencer would charge. Granted it will take longer for us to complete, but well worth it in both monetary value and educational value. After all, we will also be the one to make repairs to our fence.

I found this very helpful in putting up fence which I had not done before- just what I needed

This is one of the best books and resources I have ever read on fencing. It is truly a must buy for those new and old at fencing. If you are looking for a well written, well researched book on fencing, this is it.

IF YOU LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY FENCING BECOMES A TOPIC THAT COMES UP CONSTANTLY. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PUT A FENCE UP BUT OF THOSE ONLY A FEW WILL LAST AND BE EFFECTIVE. THIS BOOK REVIEWS MANY TYPES OF FENCING IN DEPTH. I LOOK TO THIS BOOK FOR MANY OF MY FENCING QUESTIONS.

Great book! Easy to understand (if you have never built a fence for 18 acres) and it even offers some good ideas for a few of my friends who have.

good book on the type of fences used for whatever application that you need----good book

Good book had exactly what I needed in it for a fence issue I had.
