How do i get a T-Post used for fencing out of the ground>?
I have several T-Posts that have shifted to a wrong angle...i am looking for a tool to help me get the T-Posts out without digging up the ground so i can put them back in in the correct angle to fix the fencing around the land...|||Use a old cat bumper jack if you can not pull them by hand. Attach a arope to the post and tie it to the jack.|||You can also use a long lever to ease them out. Clamp a block of wood firmly to the T-pots about 1ft. off the ground; position another block or blocks about 6%26quot; away from the post to act as a fulcrum; then placing you lever tip under the wood block clamped to the post and resting on the fulcrum pile, push down on the end. Post should ease out of the ground - no problem. If you are straining, perhaps your lever isn%26#039;t long enough, and you may need extra block to build up the fulcrum level. Sounds complicated , but very easy in practise. Best of luck.|||Use a jack to get the t-post out of the ground. Wrap a heavy duty chain around the jack and the knobs on the sides of the t-post, binding the chain as you jack and it will pull the post right out of the ground.|||we use a car jack around our place. Wrap some heavy duty wire around the post, using the nubs to keep the wire in place, and the other end of the wire around the head of the jack and start pumping.
Are there any good clubs where I can practice fencing in South America?

How good of an exercise is fencing?
i%26#039;m thinking of doing a free summer clinic(i%26#039;ve never fenced before) and was just curious,is fencing a good exercise? does it work out any muscles?|||The quality of fencing as an exercise really depends how much effort you put into it. In the years that I have fenced and coached, I have seen casual fencers devote minimal effort and barely break a sweat and highly competitive individuals work to exhaustion. If you have never fenced before, you will be working out muscles that aren%26#039;t typically heavily strained in other aerobic sports such as running, soccer, etc; although already being physically fit helps tremendously.
Years ago, in high school, I ran cross-country and played varsity soccer. I was far more exhausted after my first real fencing bout than a typical work-out for those sports.
Fencing works heavily on leg and torso muscle groups and does not require heavy upper body strength. Finesse and dexterity are typically more important.
Hope this helps.|||Yeah, you%26#039;ll get tired, and it%26#039;s a pretty good workout if you are doing it right.|||Fencing is an anaerobic activity. It%26#039;s a bit like football or boxing. The activity is strenuous for periods, with breaks in between. It burns quite a few calories: the last tournament I participated in, I wore my heart monitor and it recorded 2100 calories in 3 hours. The legs are the primary working group - quads/calfs/glutes. It is the mental aspect of fencing that often takes hold of individuals and involves them more than they were originally expecting - providing a form of exercise that is never boring - hence more likely to be undertaken.

How effective is invisible dog fencing?
We are considering invisible fencing for our new dog this summer. Is there a minimum age requirement for the dog? Do these types of fences actually work?|||I have had this type of fencing for almost 4 years now and it keeps my dogs in their area exceptionally well.
I would recomend it highly.|||sometimes (usually) the dog relizes if it goes really fast it only hurts for a secound then it stops and the dog is free thus no they don%26#039;t work|||They do work great with proper training of the dogs. I have a friend who has a big black lab, he used to escape conventional fences all the time...he was Houndini. He moved to a new home and installed the wireless fence and his dogs have yet to escape, even when he let the battery run down...lol. Just a precaution, you will keep your dogs in...but you won%26#039;t keep the wildlife out, so if you have coyote or other predators in the area I would not leave your dog vulnerable and unattended, restricted by the wireless fence. I also recommend that you try the actual %26#039;zap%26#039; level of the collar on yourself (I%26#039;m not kidding...I know this sounds crazy) if you are going to use it on an animal I think it behooves you to know exactly what the zap feels like so you have a complete understanding of how it works.|||It really depends. If the dog is not dense, have thick fur, and overall do what it wants any way, they work fine. If your dog is (mine was) denser than a box of rocks and hard headed to boot they will just walk across the line and look at you. Be forwarned even if it doesn%26#039;t look like it shocks your dog the collars hold a lot of power, not enough to hurt, but enough. :)|||When I checked into this type of fencing for my dog I wasn%26#039;t advised of an age limit but they did tell me that it works better with certain breeds. I have a beagle (known as a stubborn dog) and was advised that he may not adjust to it, would probably just run thru it and keep going. Needless to say we didn%26#039;t pursue it, but I have several friends who use this and it works well with their dogs. It requires a lot of maintenance and diligence on the part of the owner though. If your electricity goes out, it doesn%26#039;t work, if the batteries die in the collar it doesn%26#039;t work, you have to be careful not to accidentally dig up the wire (if you plant a tree, garden, etc.). And from what I was told some dogs absolutely freak out when they get zapped which can be harmful to the dog (have you seen the collar they must wear? - scary!!). Good luck with whatever you choose.|||I wouldn%26#039;t trust my dogs%26#039; safety to one of those. Many dogs figure out that they just have to take the shock and they%26#039;re free. Other problems can arise when the battery in the collar goes flat. Also, it does not protect your dog from other animals or people coming on to your property.
Get a real fence.|||It is much cheaper than a traditional fence. As far as how effective it is, that depends on how well you train the dog once it is installed. There is a training routine you go through after the fence is put in. Have them tell you all of the details about that before yo make a decision. I would no more want to teach my dog to stay in the yard by shocking him than I would want to teach him to sit, stay, etc. by shocking him. Some dogs, no matter how much you work with them, will take the shock and run through. Chances are that they will not take it again to get back in the yard. Also invisible fence doesn%26#039;t protect your dogs from something else getting to them. I had a friend who%26#039;s dog was almost killed by a pit bull because the pit bull could get in the yard but their dog wouldn%26#039;t run out of the yard to get away. Personally I would never use it. It is all about the owners convenience, not the dogs%26#039;.|||My uncle%26#039;s Shih-Zu runs through it about once a week.|||Depends on the dog. Typically, dogs with thick coats don%26#039;t feel the shock enough to be deterred. The fence will tell you the requirements for age and size on the packaging.|||This type of fencing only works on certain breeds. Dogs like greyhounds, whippets, huskies run too fast and are out of range before the fence activates. The packaging should tell you what breeds they recommend using it for, and which breeds are not suited to it.|||Works great unless it is a HIGH STRUNG DOG like a border collie
a dog thats gotta get to what it sees, then ours takes the shock to go out but wont take the shock to come back, another bad point is it keeps YOUR dog in, it does NOT KEEP OTHER DOGS OUT

Channel 7 has been showing a short promo on fencing during it%26#039;s Olympics Coverage in the evenings.

Chain link fencing for dog kennel- can you buy and attach bottom pipe separatley?
Looking for a dog kennel, had an offer for some cheap chain link fencing BUT it has no %26#039;pole%26#039; on the bottom, concerned dogs would just push it out. anything you can buy separately to keep it solid along the bottom to keep dogs from pushing it out?|||You can buy galvanized pipe, but it should be put on with proper fixtures on the bottom of the upright, you can also stretch air line cable along the bottom weaving it in and out every two foot or so, either way if your dogs like to dig they can still get out, probably the cheapest and simplest solution is to buy chicken wire and dig a trench under the fence to the inside of the run and bury it, you can wire a foot or so of the chicken wire to the bottom of the fence then take it thru the bottom on the fence at least two foot and bury....depending on what size run you are putting in it might be easier to put a regular kennel run up, if you want to do it right check with Crest Line Kennel Runs..|||I am not sure. I had bought some tool room caging and it works great. It is welded chain link that is welded to a frame they measure 5%26#039; x 9%26#039; and they bolt together.|||yes you%26#039;re right. without the bottom rail for it to attach to the dogs will just push their way out of the bottom. you can get the parts you need at lowes or home depot. you need to get two pieces that attach to the corner poles and then the rail goes into the socket on that. you can also get the wirelike ties that fastens it to the rail. fasten every couple of feet to make sure it is good and tight. any slack will allow them to get out.|||Ya what Bert said, that it|||Sure. You would need to by chain link top rail pipe, top rail pockets and clamps. You then cut the top rail pipe to fit between your upright posts and clamp in place. It should look just like your top rail, but be on the bottom of the fence. Then wire-tie the chain link fabric to the bottom just like the top.
Bert|||sure , try lowes, or your local lumber yard,
if you attach ,a new pipe, , use wire to attach the chain link,
and place stones, i n the inside of the kennal, to prevent ,the dog from digging thru|||Yes, you can buy it all seperately, either at fencing supply stores or hardware stores.
The actual chain link is the inexpensive part. The posts, connectors and rails are all seperate purchases and the most expensive portion.
The least expensive option is to buy all seperately, at a Lowe%26#039;s type of store and assemble it yourself.
