How to Build a Wire Fence for Blackberries

Instructions

1

Set your first post at one end of where you plan to install your blackberry fence. Dig a hole 1/3 of the length of the post deep. Tamp down the soil at the bottom of the hole with a 2-by-4 or tamper. Place the post inside the hole. Place a level against the side of the post to make sure it's straight. Add 6 inches of dirt to the hole. Tamp it down with the 2-by-4 or tamper. Check that the post is still straight and level. Repeat until the post is secure, and the hole is filled all the way to the top.

Set another post every 6 to 8 feet until you've covered the entire length where you plan your blackberry fence to go.

Unroll a length of basic, single fence wire until it stretches from one end of your fence to the other. Add enough fence wire to this length of wire that you can loop the wire around your fence post at least once or twice on both ends of the fence. Loop the wire around the top of your first end fence post. Tie it off. Staple the end in place a couple of times with a few fencing staples. Tug on the wire gently a few times to make sure it's secure.

Pull the wire taut when you reach the next fence post. Staple the wire in place. Repeat the process until you've stapled the wire to every fence post except the last. Tie the end of the wire around the last fence post. Staple it into place.
5

Run another wire about half-way down the fence post from the first wire. Follow the same steps to install the wire.
