    Deer fencing options for the garden?

    Thanks folks! I think I will likely go with 7.5' C Flex fence, 10' t-posts and para cord at the top and see how well it works. https://tenaxfence.com/store/tenax-c-flex-p-premium-deer-utility-net-7-5-x-100-black-1a120386.html?srsltid=AfmBOorzNo4Q136ifTwWnzaCTXLfKsyjbSdzx8d0JQKlYWbXB_rSaxe_

    What kind of fuel cans / fueling systems are folks using?

    It seems between the tractor, skid steer, backhoe and compactor that I am always running out of fuel. Granted I am doing the grading work to build a barn which will come to an end but I still think I want a better solution than 5-gal cans. I see where flo fast has some 10gal and larger jugs...

    Hi folks, I am getting ready to build my first real barn and want to go with corrugated, agricultural roof panels but with my roofing being a gambrel I don’t think I will have enough help to install it myself. If anyone knows of a company in the Raleigh NC area that can install this type of...

    Wood siding for new barn or something else?

    What area are you in? I don't know that I love fiber cement but I have had it on my house for 15 years now and I am still on the original application (2 proper coats) of paint and have never had a caulk joint open up. Overall, it is probably time for a pressure wash and repainting but the...

    I am getting ready to build a small barn for my tractor and other items and want it to look as much like an old barn as possible. I would like to use wooden lap siding but having trouble finding it for a good price. Fiber cement is an option but isn't my favorite to work with and metal is out...

    Starting point angles for single row bedder?

    Those folks ripped me off once already; I thought they were out of business. I may try and see if Agri Supply or Tractor Supply has a “same as” that I can bolt up.

    pole barn design and construction advice?

    That is how we ended up with a huge house. We spent 9-months redesigning it to make it smaller and more efficient and ended up making it 20% larger (but super efficient) so I’m about tapped out on funds but I do agree bigger is better! At this point anything is an upgrade from my “tarp barn”.

    I am planning to build a pole barn as my first accessory structure to my new house but not sure where to begin. I'm in the greater Raleigh, NC area and regardless of what I do, I will need engineered plans for my county (Chatham). the overall goal is to build an equivalent of an enclosed 2-car...

    Hi folks, I was servicing my MX4800 yesterday and was unable to get the front axle support to accept grease. I had the breather plug removed, and I removed the grease fitting to see if was jammed but but once it was out of the tractor it easily let grease flow through. Any ideas on what is...

    Easiest path to an Ag Exemption?

    I am in central NC and I am getting ready to move into our new house on 17-acres. Most of that land is wooded and within the woods are a good bit of streams, wetlands and riparian buffers so my "usable" land is probably more like 12-13 acres with 2-acres already cleared and formerly used to...
