Fencing In Our 5 Acre Arizona Desert Off Grid Homestead

This is our first video building our homestead in the Arizona Desert. We will be building a cabin with a nice deck with a northern view of the mountains, a front view with a flag pole, perimeter lighting, water catchment systems, solar systems. So stick around for future videos of our progress. Share your thoughts with us on what you like and how you can also design a sustainable area whether you will be in your backyard or homestead.

Initially the manual t-post driver is all we had and progress was not moving along quickly and used an automatic post drier. We used 7ft t-post, 12 gauged four spoke barbed wire. T-post are 15th feet apart and barbed wire is 12 inches apart from each row and from the ground.
