Hi,I have 2 maltipoos 8yrs and 8months, they need to run, so I was thinking should I get the underground fencing or should I try a training collar.Please help me the youngest almost got hit by a car yesterday, chasing a bird..%26quot;|||I have had the %26quot;invisible%26quot; type of fence for over 10 years now.
The %26quot;invisible%26quot; type of fence is not cruel like some people on this site will tell you. The shock that it gives is mild (and yes, I have been shocked by it). The shock value is immeasurable. The better type of fence systems collars also give a warning beep when the dog gets near the perimeter well before delivering a shock. With proper training the dog will learn quickly where it can and cannot go. Hence it won%26#039;t get a shock. Most of the people who will tell you that they don%26#039;t work are ignorant about the fences in the first place or they bought one (maybe a junk one like PetSafe and many others), slapped the collar on the dog and then booted him out the door without training him. And sometimes they are just plain stupid, and you can%26#039;t fix stupid.
Sometimes a conventional fence is not an option either due to the cost of fencing a large piece of property or because some housing developments have restrictions on fences.
Sometimes a conventional fence will not contain your dog at all. He can go over it or under it.
If you are looking for an Invisible Fence brand fence you will have to contact a local dealer for a price to install it though I can almost guarantee it will be over $1000.00. If you wish to install it yourself (and it%26#039;s pretty easy to do in 2 - 3 hours depending on the size of your property) it is available online (but not I/F brand).
The %26quot;invisible%26quot; type of fence consists of three things. First is the wire which is buried an inch or two into the ground. This wire defines the outer perimeter of the containment area. You can also block off areas (flowerbeds, pools etc) within the containment area. Some experimentation may be necessary in this. Second is the transmitter that is mounted to the wall indoors and connected to the fence wire, and third is the collar that the dog wears. The transmitter sends out an AM radio band signal that the collar will sense if your pet gets to close to the electronic field. The collar will then deliver a correction. Some of the better ones will give a warning beep prior to delivering a shock. Though it is a strong shock it will not harm the pet in any way. Small marker flags are placed along the inner edge of the field about 5 to 10 feet apart during the training period and removed (every other one) as the pet gets used to the fence.
Huskies are escape artists. We have 16 of them. The only thing that I have found that they can%26#039;t go over or under is invisible type fencing. Some folks say that it doesn%26#039;t work on Huskies. They don%26#039;t know what they are talking about. You can%26#039;t buy the cheap stuff, like what they sell at Lowe%26#039;s or Home Depot or PetSmart etc. The best I have found is the Smart Dog 2100 by Innotek. You can find it on line at several sites, discounted for less than $170.00 with 1 collar. Extra collars are about $80.00. The kit has everything needed including 500%26#039; of wire and flags, enough to do a quarter acre. Expansion kits (500%26#039; of wire and flags) are available for $38.00 and will contain a bit more than an acre. The collars are rechargeable (unlike the %26quot;Invisible Fence%26quot; and most others where you have to buy the proprietary (one place to get it = expensive) batteries every 3 or so months), has battery backup for the transmitter, run through prevention, waterproof, etc. if you are in an area that has a lot of thunderstorms I would consider a lighting protection module ($50.00). Innotek now owns Invisible Fence brand. Be sure to use heat shrink type crimp on butt connectors on the wire if needed. They are available at marine supply stores. Do not use the %26quot;weatherproof wire nuts%26quot; from Lowe%26#039;s etc. They will not work for long in this application. Use an edger to dig the %26quot;trench%26quot; for the wire. The wire only has to be buried 1 or 2 inches down. The yard will “heal” within a few days normally. Crossing driveways can be done two ways, wash a tunnel underneath with a garden hose or use a Skilsaw with a concrete blade to cut a groove an inch or so deep, put the wire in and seal it with a concrete sealer. For a gravel driveway, dig a trench an inch or so wide and a a bout 3 or 4 inches deep, lay an old piece of garden hose in the trench and put the wire through. This will protect the wire from the gravel cutting it when run over by a car.
The key is taking the time to train your pet. I have known of people to pay big money to install a fence, strap the collar on their dog and then complain that the fence is junk when the dog blows right through it. Longhaired breeds require a longer contact probe on the collar (these are included with the system above). Training may take awhile, one of ours took 18 months (she was a bit stubborn) before we trusted her, most were pretty good in a month or so and we have one that it only took 3 days! The amazing thing is that we can take the collar off, put them on a leash and when we head towards the perimeter their brakes come on immediately! You can also block off areas of the yard that you don%26#039;t want them in. When hurricane Isabelle came through we had no power for 3 weeks, the terrain was changed with all the fallen trees, and the underground wire for the fence was damaged and NONE of the kids even tried the fence. As I said earlier, the people who say that it doesn%26#039;t work don%26#039;t know what they are talking about. We have 16 Huskies (17 until we lost one over the summer due to medical reasons), all free to run around, contained in our 6 acre yard. And no I am not a dealer ..... just a satisfied customer with 16 hardheaded Huskies most of them rescued as adults. We can leave them outside unsupervised for hours with no problems. However, we do not leave them outside when we leave the house.
It will not keep other animals out including the neighbor’s brats. Neither will a 6 foot stockade fence ... this I learned when I lived elsewhere and was attacked by a neighbors dog in my backyard. As far as people being scared of dogs, well if a 15 to 20 foot barrier field isn%26#039;t enough, neither would a chain link fence be. Besides, if the pet stays on your property who cares if they are unreasonably scared. As far as a dog running through ... well yes, that could happen, however, with proper training it is unlikely. Huskies have an extremely high prey drive. Where we live we have a lot of wildlife, large and small. The kids will line up along the edge of the field and watch the rabbits, geese, deer etc. They won%26#039;t challenge the fence. The deer and geese have learned where the kids can and cannot go and will stay just outside %26quot;Husky country%26quot;. Sometimes within 5 feet of the kids. As I said it does work. The key is training. That is the most important part of the installation of the fence.
Some people advocate the “wireless” type of fence. You have little control over the coverage area. The other problem with them is %26quot;dead%26quot; areas caused by obstructions to the signal by things in your walls, trees and even a parked car. Your dog WILL find these areas.
Others advocate tying a pet out “because “invisible” fences are so cruel!” Or “why do you want to electrocute your dog?”, however, think about what could your pet do if attacked by another animal while tied? Where is he going to go to get away? At least with an “invisible” fence or a conventional fence he has a decent chance of evading an attacker or fighting back.
Please note though ..... you MUST not leave your dog out 24/7 with the collar on. You MUST bring him in at night and remove the collar. If you do not remove the collar he WILL most likely develop sores were the probes contact the skin which can become infected quickly opening a whole new can of worms.
25 years of being owned by Siberian Huskies. I currently have 16 Huskies most of whom were rescued by us from people who didn’t know what they were getting into|||Do you not have a safe area to run your dogs?
Do they not have a reliable recall? I would be training that first and foremost before resorting to one of these devises.
Also maybe someone can help but how do these systems prevent other animals, people, whatever getting on to your property and attacking stealing the dogs? If you are out with them all the time - why not train a reliable recall instead?
Surely at the moment it would be better to leash them and walk them for a good long walk rather than take the risk around traffic?|||I have 2 Italian Greyhounds and they are reckless, We got them the training collar and they have done wonderfully, my little boy won%26#039;t even go near the road or our fence, he plays in the front yard with my daughter. It really depends on the dog, if they listen to basic commands, try the collar....If not the fence may be your only option.|||GET A NORMAL FENCE!! If the dog wants to badly enough a training collar or underground fence will not stop him from going. Also, what keeps a large aggressive dog from getting these two small dogs while they are outside??|||regular chain link..... underground isnt going to stop them from chasing a bird and neither is the collar.

If you share a wooden privacy fence with neighbors,who is responsible to replace the fencing?
I have a fence that seperates me and my neighbors back yards,who is the one that is responsible to replace the fence?|||Is it on your side of the property line or their%26#039;s. If on your side it is your cost and if on their side it is their cost. If it is directly on the property line you need to approach them in a friendly manner and discuss splitting the cost of maintaining the fence. If they refuse and you really want it fixed or maintained you will have to suck up the cost.|||The responsible party is the one that has the fence on their side of the property line. This is usually the person who put the fence up. If there is a question about the property line then check with your local tax assessor. The honorable thing to do is to work with your neighbor. Since both of you share the benefits of the fence, you should share some of the cost along with the design.|||Both of you pay for it.|||both of you|||Depends who%26#039;s property it is on.

What company is the actual manufacturer of high-quality low-visibility polypropylene deer fencing.?

Dog fencing for a very uneven wooded area?
What would be the best type of fencing for a very uneven wooded area (with trees, rocks, banks,plants galore) that would keep dogs in? Preferably something metal.

Good luck.|||Chain link is what comes to my mind but, unless you get someone to do it for you you are looking at a heck of a lot of work.

Should I choose to do fencing or continue kendo?
In a few months, I am going to McGill where they offer both fencing as well as kendo as student run sports. I have done kendo for about 4-5 years (I stopped about 4 years ago) and have achieved 1 dan, or 1st rank black belt. I have never done fencing before but would love to learn it. Should I continue with kendo or start fencing?|||Personally I think you could do both, but if you had to chose one only, I would continue with Kendo.
When you started Kendo, you were walking down a path in a martial art, and to achieve shodan already, that is no thing to just toss aside in my opinion. Kendo has far greater discipline and tradition, and to me, holds much more value than Fencing does.
Fencing is fun, don%26#039;t get me wrong, but it%26#039;s a sport, not a martial art, and when you%26#039;re 80, you%26#039;re not exactly going to be able to fence with arthritis, but you can still play kendo, and be a hachidan (^^v if you work hard) and have massive amount of respect from your kouhai, instead of being a %26#039;has been%26#039; in Fencing.|||FENCING ITS SOO COOL

However, for fencing lessons check out your local universities and clubs. www.usfencing.org has links to member clubs in all 50 states with contact information. Most clubs will offer beginner (and advanced) lessons a couple of times a year that will run for about 8 weeks or so. Depending on where in the country you are, fencing lessons will run anywhere from $30 to $300. The club I%26#039;m affiliated with on the west side of Nashville only charges about $30 for an 8 week class while other private clubs can charge as much as $60+ per individual lesson (our club, however, is not for profit).
On the other front, Museum Replicas (google %26#039;em) makes %26quot;replica%26quot; weapons that are %26quot;real.%26quot; In other words, they attempt to replicate applicable forging techniques and provide a serviceable weapon; NOT one with an aluminum tang that bends with a single sword stroke.

About how much would it cost to buy and install 120 yards of iron fencing?
I%26#039;m thinking about 5-6 feet high, iron (or other black metal-esque material, whatever%26#039;s commonly used) fence to keep dogs in the yard. The yard%26#039;s pretty big and part of it%26#039;s on a hill, so the fence would need to go up a hill if that%26#039;s relevant.|||Steel is very high expensive now, the fact that you stated that it has to go up hill also makes it a very special build since the Iron work will have to follow the grade. Most Ornamental Iron fence companies powder coat the fencing rather than painting which also cost more money. The design your looking for seems simple not very custom. When determining a price the material size is very important. for example 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 frame .095 wall 3/4%26quot; pickets .065 2%26quot; x 2%26quot; line posts .120 etc. then the gate, lock type,hinge type etc.

Does concrete block fencing keep snakes out?

How do I calculate dimensions for DIY privacy fencing for my back yard only?
By back yard I mean from rear corners of house to back property line.|||Are you asking how to calc the amount of materials?
Measure the length.
You will need 4%26quot;X4%26quot; post about evey 6 feet. 8%26#039; spacing may suffice. Work out any difference for the corners or ends.
You will need 2%26quot; X 4%26quot; for the entire length, twice. One near the top, one near the bottom in order to nail the panels.
Buy the 2%26quot; X 4%26quot; the same length as the spacing of the posts, or a length that can be cut evenly in the correct lengths, in order to save waste.
If you plan to fence in the other direction, you should set two posts at the corner at the same time.
Anchor the posts in concrete.
If you use 8%26quot; panels, consider that 3 panels = 24%26quot; or two feet.
So every 2 feet needs 3 panels.
If the panels are 6%26quot;, you%26#039;ll need 2 for every foot.
My last suggestion is to use a board at the bottom, run lengthwise and place the panels flush to that board. This will prevent your panels from touching the ground and subject to rot. You then do not have to replace panels if they rot, and need only to replace the bottom boards as needed.
Consider the extra lumber for this.|||do you mean dimensions or a materials list? if it is dimensions, stake out the area you want the fence to be (check with you local municipality to determine the required set-back from your property line) then measure from the house to the first stake then from stake to stake until you get back to the other side of the house. this will give you the total linear feet of fencing needed.
many diy center%26#039;s have software that can calculate exact material lists with cost that you can use for free. most will help you with using the software. check with home depot, lowes etc...
for a materials list, it will all depend on the kind of fence you want to install, but all will be dependent on the total linear feet of fencing needed. then the number of corner posts, length between posts (normally 8 foot on center but can be less), number of %26amp; location of gates and the height and design of fence etc...

The best fence is the cedar, It does not warp and twist like other materials and holds the natural color longer.

Your local code enforcement or building inspector will have the answer.
Even with set back from property lines if you are the owner you may have to notify the neighbor that you are going to a repair to their side. Some zoning laws do not allow full replacement with out a permit to remove and replace so be careful. You may be right on the line now but not able to replace back on the line once removed.
Most will let you maintane or do repairs without permits or legal issues but to go beyond this may require much more.
There are some areas that say a fence belongs to both parties and must be paid for by both parties usually in this case the true owner owns the first half of the fence and the neighbor the second. Should work be required the first owner must notify the second party that he or she is preparing to do work on said fence. This is done in writing and served on the second party with a thirty day required request returned in writing.

What is the best way to train a puppy with invisible fencing?
all suggestions welcome, this is for a friend, she has the fence, she tried to train her chihuahua mix puppy and when he got too close and got a little shock it broke her heart and is now thinking of ripping it out, i gave her all the clues i could, i used the fence with my rotties, big difference in chihuahua, it worked great, thanks|||As long as the dog is above the weight requirement and old enough (most say 6 months), an invisible fence should be fine. Did your friend do all the training steps the way that the fence manufacturer says? You have to start out with the warning flags and have the dog on leash and teach the dog %26quot;the retreat pattern,%26quot; i.e. to turn back when it hears the warning sound or feels a shock. You have to take your dog up to the boundary and teach it to turn around before it gets shocked.
One thing to try is to turn up the boundary warning zone on the fence. My model of fence allows me to do this. You can make the warning zone larger so the dog gets more warning time before actually getting shocked.
Another thing to try is to turn down the shock level. Many models allow you to change the intensity of the shock. You want the dog to feel it, but it shouldn%26#039;t be horrible. And with a small dog, you might want it on a lower setting.
All that being said, I do think it%26#039;s helpful if the dog is shocked once. Then they connect the warning sound with the shock and realize from then onwards that the warning sound means they will get shocked. Then they respect the fence because they know what it means. If your friends trains the fence correctly, there%26#039;s no reason the dog has to be shocked again.
Tell your friend to increase the boundary warning zone, decrease the shock intensity, and continue to train the dog. Train on leash until the dog understands what the fence is, that way she can pull it back into the yard instead of getting shocked repeatedly.|||Put him on a leash and walk him all around the yard where the fence is and when you hear the beep you pull him back and say no. A couple little shocks is heartbreaking but it does work. It takes time but it is a great thing.|||Ugh -- have her rip it out! I HATE electric fences, for a number of reasons (see articles below). Plus, there is NO reason for a dog this little to be outside unattended (the main reasons people put in underground electric fencing) -- that%26#039;s just asking for thieves, predators, bigger dogs, etc., to get her.|||Well, if your friend can%26#039;t handle seeing the dog shocked and %26quot;rips the fence out%26quot;, sorry, but she%26#039;s an idiot.
The dog has to receive the shock at some point.
I have a Chihuahua and an invisible fence. It works just fine, but at some point, the dog has got to receive the shock.
Your friend is going to rip out this fence because the dog gets shocked? Why did she buy it in the first place? Also, babying her pwecious widdle doggie this way, will result in the dog%26#039;s untimely death when, because there%26#039;s no fence, the dog runs into the road and gets hit by a car.
My dog loves her fence. She has been shocked maybe 3 times, now, sometimes when I let her out, I don%26#039;t even put her collar on. She knows her boundaries.|||The cumulative effects of a dog being shocked, over and over, have not been published - but I%26#039;m sure that is not good for a dog. Additionally, those collars malfunction and will punish the dog for no reason. Your friend%26#039;s right in getting rid of that horrible device.

Plus, there is NO reason for a dog this little to be outside unattended (the main reasons people put in underground electric fencing) -- that%26#039;s just asking for thieves, predators, bigger dogs, etc., to get her.|||Well, if your friend can%26#039;t handle seeing the dog shocked and %26quot;rips the fence out%26quot;, sorry, but she%26#039;s an idiot.
The dog has to receive the shock at some point.
I have a Chihuahua and an invisible fence. It works just fine, but at some point, the dog has got to receive the shock.
Your friend is going to rip out this fence because the dog gets shocked? Why did she buy it in the first place? Also, babying her pwecious widdle doggie this way, will result in the dog%26#039;s untimely death when, because there%26#039;s no fence, the dog runs into the road and gets hit by a car.
My dog loves her fence. She has been shocked maybe 3 times, now, sometimes when I let her out, I don%26#039;t even put her collar on. She knows her boundaries.|||The cumulative effects of a dog being shocked, over and over, have not been published - but I%26#039;m sure that is not good for a dog. Additionally, those collars malfunction and will punish the dog for no reason. Your friend%26#039;s right in getting rid of that horrible device.

A farmer has 220 metres of fencing for an area of 2500m. What are the dimensions of the field? ?
How would you work this out? I know how to do it by trial and improvement but what is the method involving quadratics?|||Hi,
Assuming the field is rectangular, let x = its width. Then the length is 110 - x for the length.
The area is found by:
A = L x W
2500 = (110 - x)x
2500 = 110x - x虏
x虏 - 110x + 2500 = 0
................________________
-(-110) 卤 鈭?-110)虏 - 4(1)(2500)
--------------------------------------... = x
..................2(1)
............_____
110 卤 鈭?100
--------------------- = x
........2
x = 32.09 metres
110 - x = 77.91 metres
The field is 77.91 metres x 32,09 metres. %26lt;==ANSWER
I hope that helps!! :-)|||You are presuming a rectangle for the field?
I have a field which has 6 sides. One %26#039;corner%26#039; has an interior angle of about 270 degrees. None of the corners are of 90 degrees. The fences enclose three acres (say, 10,000 sq meters). I challenge anyone to calculate the length of fence that I need to maintain!|||This kind of problem is a multi-step process.
Step 1
Call the perimeter of the area P.
Assuming that the area is a rectangle, the formula for the perimeter is
P = 2L + 2W.
Now, they give us P = 220. Put that into the equation.
220 = 2L + 2W
Solve for W.
Subtract 2L from both sides.
220 - 2L = 2L + 2W - 2L
220 - 2L = 2W
Divide by 2.
(220 - 2L)/2 = 2W/2
(220 - 2L)/2 = W
****************************
Step 2
The formula for the area of a rectangle is
A = LW.
We know what W looks like from Step 1. Put that expression into the equation for the area.
A = L (220 - 2L)/2
Distribute the L across the parentheses.
A = (220L - 2L^2)/2
They told us that the area is 2500. Put that value into the equation.(I%26#039;m ignoring all of the meter stuff right now. We%26#039;ll put that in at the end.)
2500 = (220L - 2L^2)/2
Multiply both sides by 2.
2(2500) = 2 [ (220L - 2L^2)/2 ]
5000 = 220L - 2L^2
Add 2L^2 to both sides.
5000 + 2L^2 = 220L - 2L^2 + 2L^2
5000 + 2L^2 = 220L
Subtract 220L from both sides.
5000 + 2L^2 - 220L = 220L - 220L
5000 + 2L^2 - 220L = 0
Rewrite for ease of solving a quadratic.
2L^2 - 220L + 5000 = 0
This next series of steps are optional, but will make the problem simpler to solve.
Factor 2 out of the terms on the left hand side.
2 (L^2 - 110L + 2500) = 0
Divide both sides by 2.
[2 (L^2 - 110L + 2500)] / 2 = 0 / 2
L^2 - 110L + 2500 = 0
*************************************
Step 3
Use the Quadratic Formula to solve for L.
L = [ -B +- sq_rt (B^2 - 4AC) ] / 2A
Here, A = 1, B = -110, C = 2500 and +- means %26quot;plus or minus.%26quot; So...
L = [ -(-110) +- sq_rt ( (-110)^2 - 4(1)(2500) ] / 2(1)
L = [ 110 +- sq_rt ( 12100 - 10000 ] / 2
L = [ 110 +- sq_rt ( 12100 - 10000 ] / 2
L = [ 110 +- sq_rt ( 2100 ) ] / 2
Now, sq_rt ( 2100 ) = sq_rt [ (21)(100 ) ]
= 10 sq_rt (21).
Now we have...
L = [ 110 +- 10 sq_rt (21) ] / 2
Factor out a 2 from the terms in the numerator. It will cancel out the 2 in the denominator.
L = 2 [ 55 +- 5 sq_rt (21) ] / 2
L = 55 +- 5 sq_rt (21)
We have 2 possibilities.
L = 55 + 5 sq_rt (21)
or
L = 55 - 5 sq_rt (21)
Note: 5 sq_rt (21) = 5(4.58) = 22.9, approximately.
We now have...
L = 55 + 22.9 = 77.9
or
L = 55 - 22.9 = 32.1.
***********************************
Step 4
If L = 55 + 22.9 = 77.9,
then
A = LW means that 2500 = 77.9 W.
Divide by 77.9 on both sides.
2500/77.9 = 77.9 W / 77.9
32.09 = W.
If L = 55 - 22.9 = 32.1,
then
A = LW means that 2500 = 32.1 W.
Divide both sides by 32.1.
2500/32.1 = 32.1 W / 32.1
77.88 = W.
Note that the pairs of values are very close. (77.88 is almost 77.9 and
32.09 is almost 32.1.)
L = 77.9 W = 32.09
L = 32.1 W = 77.88.
Since length is understood to be larger than width,
I%26#039;m not sure whether your teacher wants to see decimal approximations or not, but I%26#039;d take the following as the answer:
L = 77.9 W = 32.09
.
Assuming the field is rectangular, let x = its width. Then the length is 110 - x for the length.
The area is found by:
A = L x W
2500 = (110 - x)x
2500 = 110x - x虏
x虏 - 110x + 2500 = 0

Add 2L^2 to both sides.
5000 + 2L^2 = 220L - 2L^2 + 2L^2
5000 + 2L^2 = 220L
Subtract 220L from both sides.

L = [ 110 +- sq_rt ( 12100 - 10000 ] / 2
L = [ 110 +- sq_rt ( 2100 ) ] / 2
Now, sq_rt ( 2100 ) = sq_rt [ (21)(100 ) ]
= 10 sq_rt (21).
Now we have...
L = [ 110 +- 10 sq_rt (21) ] / 2
Factor out a 2 from the terms in the numerator. It will cancel out the 2 in the denominator.
L = 2 [ 55 +- 5 sq_rt (21) ] / 2

***********************************
Step 4
If L = 55 + 22.9 = 77.9,
then
A = LW means that 2500 = 77.9 W.
Divide by 77.9 on both sides.
2500/77.9 = 77.9 W / 77.9
32.09 = W.
If L = 55 - 22.9 = 32.1,
then
A = LW means that 2500 = 32.1 W.
Divide both sides by 32.1.
2500/32.1 = 32.1 W / 32.1
77.88 = W.
Note that the pairs of values are very close. (77.88 is almost 77.9 and

What is the meaning of the term PITCHING used in civil construction or fencing construction.?
Can any one please tell me the meaning of PITCHING or PITCH used in civil construction or construction of wire mesh fencing. The meaning of the term %26amp; where can i find more solutions on pitching.|||Pitch is simply tar. I%26#039;ve seen plenty of pitched flat roofs and pitched wooden fencing, but not pitched wire mesh. I guess you could pitch some types of metal wire for weather protection, but would have thought the common plastic coating was much less trouble.
Why do the athletes for fencing yell when points are given?
I was watching the Olympics earlier in the week and had an odd question. Why is it when an athlete is given a point after a hit, they yell? |||As a high level fencer myself, I%26#039;m going to have to disagree with many of these answers, to a fair extent. The most common reason for a fencer to scream is to express their emotion after scoring the touch. Fencing does involve a lot of thinking, and movement, in each touch, and a lot of excitement and passion comes out when it proves successful. As someone said before, it is sort of similar to karate, but it%26#039;s not a specific part of the form in fencing, and for most fencers it%26#039;s not a completely conscious action. Especially at such a high level, the pressure is incredibly intense, just one-on-one with your opponent, and screaming after a touch is one way to calm yourself down a bit, or, if needed, keep the momentum.
At a high level, I%26#039;d have to disagree with what someone said before about using screaming to %26quot;scare%26quot; or intimidate an opponent; again, it%26#039;s hard to control, and no one really does it to be malicious. Screaming at an opponent might just anger them enough to get them motivated! Some fencers might try to use a scream to convince a referee to award them the touch on a close call, but it rarely works with high level referees and video replay.
Overall, it%26#039;s not really used for any malicious purpose, but mainly to celebrate and express yourself after a touch.|||Yelling is a tactic fencers use to provoke their rivals in a match. If a fencer yells, they are placing anger, fear and jealousy in the rival fencer. It%26#039;s a psychological war. For example if a fencer gains a point and they yell, the rival fencer will feel anger because they lost the point and jealousy because the fencer got the point and not themselves. Also, if a yell is powerful enough, fear can be produced as a result. I guess that sometimes a fencer is just happy they won the point and what better way to celebrate than yell? |||It is a poor sportmanship habbit that has built up over the pass 20 years or so in many areas and bad protocol.
The biggest complaint for many years in fencing is the public does not understand the sport and scoring so they do not pay attention and it makes poor broadcasting. So the fight between the purists and the flamboyant has many in-fighting looking for ways to make the sport more appealing to the TV and general public. Both sides have %26quot;some%26quot; very good points to consider.

What do I need to get started in the sport of fencing?
I%26#039;ve wanted to fence for many years, but it ain%26#039;t happenin%26#039; yet! I%26#039;d like to know a few things, however, and be prepared if I%26#039;m able to actually afford it someday! :)
What equipment will I need and how much will it cost?
What skills will I be needing and how do I improve them?
What muscles need to be built up and which exercises should I do?
Thanks so much for your help!|||First, you should find a fencing club in your area, you would be surprised where they are at!!
What you will need, will depend on which weapon you take up. There are 3; Foil, Epee, and Sabre. All require different swords, Epee requires knickers, long knee socks, fencing jacket along with a mask, glove and fencing shoes. For foil you need to add an electric vest. For Sabre you will need to add an electric jacket. Sabre has a different mask from Foil and Epee.
Most clubs will loan you the outfits and swords for the first month, and then should be able to help you find your equipment.
Best work outs are building your legs and arm muscles and stamina. Running, soccer, basketball is a great way to start. In the gym, grab a trainer and have them show you the best machines to build strong leg muscles and strong arm muscles. You will be doing a lot of lunges and extensions. It is VERY important to learn to stretch properly.
Fencing is a STRONG mental game as well as physical. It%26#039;s like playing a mental/physical chess, except that you have to think FAST.

What are the steps in backyard fencing?
We just closed our first home. As a first project we want to erect a fence on the backyard. What are the steps to achieve this. Do I first contact the local service to mark how far the fence should be then shop for types of fences. Can this be DIY as well or a upon getting a fence we can also contract someone to place it.|||We recently did this - we first called the survey company that did the survey when we purchased the house, and asked them to send us a copy of the survey (they did this for free). Then, we decided to have a fencing company install it b/c after researching it, we realized that it was not an easy DIY project. You have to dig the postholes, pour concrete in them, plant the posts (at the proper depth and distance apart), build the fence, and make sure it is level. Ugh - that seemed like a pain. We had a reputable company install a vinyl fence and it is guaranteed against wind damage up to 100mph! You don%26#039;t get that kind of warranty if you install it yourself. So, for us it was worth the extra cost to have it installed (it isn%26#039;t cheap though, it pretty much doubled the cost of what just the materials would have cost). The company we worked with provided both the materials and the installation services. There are also companies that just do the installation...so you could buy the fence at a hardware store and have them install it for you.
Oh yeah - and check with your town because most towns require that you get a permit to install a fence.
Good luck!|||1st, call a surveyor if the property line is not marked. The last thing you%26#039;ll want is a neighbor who makes you take down a newly-built fence that you accidentally placed off the property line.
Then decide on the style of fence you want. I%26#039;d look in gardening magazines and the library for %26quot;HOW TO%26quot; books on the subject. Maybe Fine Wood Working or Fine Home Building magazine has articles.
Last, consult a local building supply or lumber yard as to the cost and life span of the different materials. Redwood is fairly weatherproof. Some folks go for vinyl or PVC, but it%26#039;s not earth-friendly. Maybe you could get some recycled wood at a salvage yard.

How many feet of fencing would cover an acre of land?
This is probably really obvious, but I%26#039;m not in a clever mood.|||An acre is a measure of area. Fence is a linear measurement. It depends on the shape of the property.
An acre is 43,560 square feet. If it happens to be a square shape each side would be 208 3/4 ft so the total would be 4 times that or 835 ft.
If for example the property was 100 ft x 435.6 ft it would take
2 x 100 + 2 x 435.6 = 1071.2 ft|||835%26#039;

James is fencing a rectangular field that measures 25 ft by 21 ft. How much fencing should he buy?
I am not asking for the answer, just help! I know that you find the are of a rectangle by multiplying its length times width.....so is that how you get the answer? I know this is basic but I suck at math.|||The rectangle has four sides...2 sides are 25ft and 2 sides are 21ft...So to figure out the linear feet James needs to buy, simply add 25+25+21+21 and the answer is how much fence he needs.
EDIT: Multiping 25 x 21 will give you the square footage not the linear feet.|||Find the Perimeter of the rectangle.Thats the total fencing to buy
P=2(L+b)
P=2(25+21)
P=2*46=92 Ft|||people are giving you conflicting answers. just think about this... does the fence need to cover the perimeter or the whole area of the rectangle?|||Yes, that is how you get the answer.|||Indeed, the area (in square feet) = L x W.
However, to determine the length of fencing that James needs to buy, you would need to calculate the perimeter of the field.
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
2(25) + 2(21) = 50 + 42 = 92 ft
These are linear (not square) feet.|||yes thats how dude

Would barbed wire fencing work for pygmy goats?
I need to build an inexpensive fence that will keep in two horses, and some pygmy goats. I though barbed wire would work unless the goats got tangled up?|||I would not recommend it for horses or goats. The goats especially will probably cut themselves to pieces trying to get out. I have goats fence for mine that they have found several places to get out underneath it and have cut their ears up trying to push through. As bad as mine look after trying to get out of goat fence I would hate too see them try to get out of barbed wire fence.|||I have goats and a mini horse, but I keep them separate. I use panel fencing for my horse and for the goats I use hog wire (It was cheap) and two strands of electric fencing (also cheap) on the inside of the hog wire. They are fine when the electric fence is on, but the goats constantly test the fence and know when it is off. When it is off, they stick their heads through the hog wire and always get them stuck. I have to keep cutting the wire to free their heads and fix the fence. I would find the cheapest, but strongest wire possible (for the price) and use electric fencing on the inside of it. I think if you used barbed wire they would find a way to get stuck in it- they always do- and if they did, it wouldn%26#039;t end well. A fence doesn%26#039;t (and shouldn%26#039;t) be expensive for them. They are always going to find a way out and it is easier, and less expensive, to fix a fence than it is to keep buying livestock panels every time you have to cut one to free one of the goat%26#039;s heads- trust me, I used to have my whole pasture fenced in with livestock panels- not worth it with goats. I hope this helped, good luck!|||Small goats can get through the smallest of spaces, I would recommend small page wire....|||Generally speaking any type of wire fencing doesn%26#039;t work well for any goats. I%26#039;d try cattle panels or combination panels. They are expensive though. But nothing less than that will keep the goats in. We have one area of goat fencing that%26#039;s basically solid to keep the kids in.|||Get a smaller squared page wire it will keep the goats from getting through and the horses from get cut up (if they got caught in the bw).|||There is a lot said that barbed wire is not desirable as horse fencing. I have seen some pretty gruesome injuries from BW, but some of my fencing is still barbed, and I haven%26#039;t had any (knock on wood) injuries. That said, pygmy goats can be real houdinis, and I would think it probably won%26#039;t be inexpensive to run enough strands of barbed wire to successfully keep them in. Any chance of doing a small lot for the goats out of woven wire farm fencing or livestock panels?

Without fencing my dog in the kitchen how can I get her to eat above her dish?
My dog only eats dry, chunk food. She will not eat on a schedule. Her dish is in my kitchen and she doesn%26#039;t like the slick floor. So I laid down a mat under her dish. She grabs a chunk and takes it to eat on the carpet which gets crumbs everywhere. Since she%26#039;s not on a schedule I can%26#039;t block the kitchen entry until she eats.|||My dog doesn%26#039;t eat on a schedule either. What I have done is instead of feeding her at her normal feeding time I take her for a long walk and usually she is ready to eat by the time we get back. This doesn%26#039;t always work though. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about your dog leaving crumbs on the floor because they won%26#039;t stay there forever. It is a dog, they are hunters and love finding crumbs. So, I guess what I am saying is there%26#039;s no need to leave the dog in the kitchen, the crumbs won%26#039;t stay on your rug and give the pooch a good belly rub!|||Make her get on a schedule.

How many feet of fencing would I need to fence in 30 acres?
I know that there are 43560 square feet in an acre, but I just need the borders. Not sure how to figure this out.|||Assuming the area is square, take the square root of the total area. This gives the length of one of the sides. Multiply that by 4 to get the perimeter.|||1 acre is 210 feet, times that by 30 = 6300 feet, and thats just one side. Now you got to come down the other side and thats another 6300 feet, and 210 feet across each end, add it up yourself.|||you need the size of each panel. then divide in to the space?
What is the cattle fencing laws in illinois? Who is responsible to fix the fence if there cattle gets out?
Who owns the fence? Was it improperly maintained or did the cattle break a properly maintained fence? The law is not as simple as you pretend.
If you want to read the Illinois fence statute, you can link to it here:
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilc...|||the universally understood practice where i live is-- the owner of the cows that are getting out is responsible for fixing the fence.
if crops are being damaged, and the cattle owner is too slow to fix, the invaded landowner can fix the fence and recover repair expenses and crop damage from the cattle owner.
it generally causes major rifts between neighbors to have to go to court to recover these expenses. use as a last resort only.|||I don%26#039;t know the law exactly in Illinois. I would think the owner of the property and or the owner of the cattle if they are one and the same. I would at least start with the property owner first. And definately check with someone who would know on that.

What types of dogs are least likely to 'roam' and need the least fencing? - thanks.?

Also, the sledding breeds have a tendancy to roam.
The herding dogs and some of the retrievers can be homebodies if trained the boundaries.
Whatever breed you choose, it must be taught what the boundaries are. Some individual dogs pick this up easily, and some dogs take more time.
You mentioned small dogs in another answer, They can be kept in the house and accompanied outside.
For the larger breeds, I would recommend that when you leave the property to contain them either in the house or a nice large kennel run with shelter. This is not keep them in all the time as any dog would love 17 acres to own. Just when you are not home. That way the dog is still secure in case it gets bored and goes looking for you. This can be done with minimal fencing.

Is it possible to add wooden fencing to my brick wall to make it higher?
I have a 4 1/2 foot brick wall which I want to make around 6ft high and have decided using fence panels will be the most effective way of doing this as far as price is concerned.
I am after some advice on the best method of attaching the panels to the brick wall.|||How you would attatch the fence panels depends on how the wall is capped. If the wall is capped with concrete , I would think you could use concrete screws with fender washers to hold the panels in place.
The brand of screws I use are called Tap-con. They come with a pilot drill bit that makes the hole for the screw, then the screws are driven with a hex head bit or a screwdriver. They go in easier with the hex head bit. I%26#039;ve got a link to the tapcons in the source box.|||If the brickwork is sound, this will probably work.

Is it ok to set concrete fencing posts while it is raining?
I am setting 4x4x8 posts for privacey fence and its going to be raining on and off. Is it ok to set these posts while it is raining?|||Concrete will harden even underwater. In fact, moist-curing concrete makes it stronger, while curing it under unusually dry conditions will weaken it. So a bit of light rain won%26#039;t hurt, particularly after the concrete has been in place for a few hours. However, a driving or heavy rain that hits shortly after the concrete is placed could wash cement particles off the top surface, resulting in a rough and weakened surface. If you%26#039;re setting posts in the rain, a bigger problem is that the sides of your holes may collapse.
Having said all that, setting fence posts in concrete really isn%26#039;t the best method. What happens is that the wood eventually shrinks slightly, leaving a gap between the concrete and the wood that traps moisture, which in turn accelerates rot. It%26#039;s better to use a fast-draining mix of soil and pea gravel (or gravel and stone dust) and tamp it around the post. Here%26#039;s how the pros build a fence:

You can do this in the rain.

Is there a difference between vinyl and wood fencing?
When it comes to adding value to our property, is there a difference? Or is a fence a fence?|||Well the obvious difference is the material of which each is made. One is pressure treated wood and the other is vinyl. Now wood fencing is considerably cheaper than vinyl and for good reason. Wood, no matter if it is treated, will eventually look like #$%26amp;^$!!. So, if you are going to be living in this place for the long haul, it will be in your best interest to go vinyl. I is much more expensive, but it will help you when it comes to resale bec=ause you will not have an old rotted wood fence falling apart. The best thing to do is to drive around some neighborhoods and see for yourself. Look at those older wood fences and see if you want that around your place one day. Now on the other hand, if you are looking to fix up and sell the home, then wood fencing may be an inexpensive means to help you out. good luck!|||Vinyl would probably bring more because you don%26#039;t have to replace boards on it after a few years or stain it....

How much cement should you put in the post for chainlink fencing?
I am installing chainlinnk fence 4%26#039; high and I am traying to figure how much cement is needed per post? I am putting them about 15%26quot; deep.|||Back in my younger years I built fences for a living.
We cemented in the corner and end post completely as they were the most important. You don%26#039;t want them to move when you start stretching the chain link.
As for the line post in most cases we drove them in and maybe capped them with a few inches to prevent grass from growing around the post and in some cases we didn%26#039;t cement them at all. The line post are there to just hold the fence up. When you stretch the chain link the line post will be pulled in line with the corner or end post so the need to cement them isn%26#039;t the same.
Ultimately we built the fence the way the customer wanted it built. If he or she wanted the post cemented that%26#039;s what we did.
For your project you have to take into account your comfort level and do what you are comfortable with.
Just a note: you mentioned your depth was 15%26quot;, it is pretty important to make sure your post and the cement (unless it is just a cap to prevent grass from growing) is below the frost line. If it isn%26#039;t you run a chance they will move over time. Where I lived at the time our frost line was 18%26quot; but where I live now it%26#039;s 12%26quot;.
Good Luck with your project|||Let’s see, most post holes diggers make a 10”, or larger hole, also the inside of tube/post will be full of concrete.
Some straight forward math, 3.14*(15/2)^2*15=2,308 in^3
Then 2,308/1,728 = 1.3 cu. Ft. per post at least.
Depending on the numbr of post you can estimate the number of bags of ready mix concrete you will need. An 80 pound sack makes about 3/4 cu. ft.|||I%26#039;m not why people feel the need to use so much concrete. I put in a fence using NO concrete. I used a large hammer ( or small sledge ) to drive the poles into the ground. I put them as deep as I could ( 18%26quot; ) and cut off the top couple of inches that was damaged from hammering. Attach the top runner pipes, then attached the fencing.
That fence was still there 10 years later when I moved. The only need for concrete is to keep the poles from being pulled up. You know something....I%26#039;ve never seen a dog pull a fence up at the poles.
If you feel the need...then concrete every other one.|||Tamp dirt around the pole up to about 8 inches from top of hole. Fill the rest of hole with concrete. Not only will this hold the post secure,grass won%26#039;t grow around the pole.|||Usually I figure 5 feet out of the ground and 3 feet in the ground. A lot of your depth depends on the winds and soil conditions.|||put a 40 bag for your end poles and about 20 for your support ones remember soils are different for different areas|||When your done digging your hole reach down and scoop out some dirt around the bottom, this helps prevent frost heave. Good Luck!|||The posts should have about 2%26#039; in the ground. For a 4%26#039; fence, I usually use one 80lbs bag per post.|||Enough to hold it up.
We cemented in the corner and end post completely as they were the most important. You don%26#039;t want them to move when you start stretching the chain link.
As for the line post in most cases we drove them in and maybe capped them with a few inches to prevent grass from growing around the post and in some cases we didn%26#039;t cement them at all. The line post are there to just hold the fence up. When you stretch the chain link the line post will be pulled in line with the corner or end post so the need to cement them isn%26#039;t the same.
Ultimately we built the fence the way the customer wanted it built. If he or she wanted the post cemented that%26#039;s what we did.
For your project you have to take into account your comfort level and do what you are comfortable with.
Just a note: you mentioned your depth was 15%26quot;, it is pretty important to make sure your post and the cement (unless it is just a cap to prevent grass from growing) is below the frost line. If it isn%26#039;t you run a chance they will move over time. Where I lived at the time our frost line was 18%26quot; but where I live now it%26#039;s 12%26quot;.
Good Luck with your project|||Let’s see, most post holes diggers make a 10”, or larger hole, also the inside of tube/post will be full of concrete.
Some straight forward math, 3.14*(15/2)^2*15=2,308 in^3
Then 2,308/1,728 = 1.3 cu. Ft. per post at least.
Depending on the numbr of post you can estimate the number of bags of ready mix concrete you will need. An 80 pound sack makes about 3/4 cu. ft.|||I%26#039;m not why people feel the need to use so much concrete. I put in a fence using NO concrete. I used a large hammer ( or small sledge ) to drive the poles into the ground. I put them as deep as I could ( 18%26quot; ) and cut off the top couple of inches that was damaged from hammering.
