Big Metal Security Fence | JIMBO'S GARAGE 

Looks great. Only question is, are they trying to stop a tank with that? I think that fence is stronger than the building next to it.

Now THAT's a full scale project! I hear ya on the "one-man-band" problem, I'm in the same boat when it comes to pretty much everything I do. You should go ahead and get an overhead lifting solution, those steel-toed sandals are gonna let you down in the worst way. LOL!

24:41 love your safety shoes ;)

Its a shame he didn't cap the columns, it would last 10 time lifetimes if the inside wasn't exposed mild steel.

Nice job. 👍. In a thousand years when archeologists look back on our civilisation, that fence will still be there. 👍

I'll never see a fence like that again without knowing how much work went in to putting it in place.

Hello! I started watching one of your videos by mistake and then another and another and so on and every video is very interesting and I like the fact that you take the time to talk about your tools or any advice or recommendation and I just love it. Thanks and greeting from Mexico!

Jimbo, when you finish your first panel, build your next one on top of it to save squaring everything up again. Same with double gates. Thank me later!!!

great job

Now THAT'S a fence...Hell of a nice job you all did; looks absolutely fantastic. Beautiful welds. You totally remind me of myself working by yourself in a small shop, figuring ways to do 2 and 3 man jobs solo, only on an even bigger scale haha. Good Stuff.

Wow!! Great job on that fence! That was a lot of work and it really looks good!! Killer job, bud🤘 nice shirt too🤘

Your channel totally inspires me to stop building, homes and open a fab shop!

Very interesting thank you very much

Trump should've hired you to build his wall holy shit Jimbo that is some heavy duty stuff! Put some fences up in my time fabricating but nothing that heavy duty lol

GREAT WORK Jimbo! You and your guys ALWAYS do quality work. If I was in Cali I would recommend you and your company to everyone. Quick question though.... I get that this is a security fence but why such overkill? Why did each fence post require such a deep footing, rather than just using concrete anchors and simply bolting the posts to the finished concrete? (The same way you bolted the posts to the footing) Just curious.... The finished product is great looking and will last forever!

That came out great. thank you for showing the other side of what you do as well as I learned a little about concrete work. always enjoy learning new things.

I know it´s an old video, but very impressed indeed with this job. Wish you could make some fencing like that over here in Mexico :) you´d have a very happy customer hehe

I don't mean to criticize too much because you did a great job and your welds look good, but it usually isn't a good idea to run flux-core (or 7018 stick) downhill, especially on thicker material. You are likely to get slag inclusions and lack of penetration. You can see pinholes in the weld at 13:27. That being said I don't think that fence is going anywhere, nice job.

Thank you Jim , I really enjoy your vids. I used to work w/ my dad. He was a blacksmith & farrier & wooden wheel maker. I helped him from from when I was 8 yrs old both in Ireland & Canada making mostly horse shoes and doing farrier work. He too, was 'heavy duty" on everything... including horse shoes... I still have a front pair of Clydesdale's shoes, we made together. You remind me of those days. Thanks for the memories. Peace.

How much does some like this job cost around and are you able to make a gate on rollers for a drive gate Please comment back I like the way it looks and where are you located

Is that the wall between US and Mexico?

I really enjoyed the video. I love seeing how things are built and learning some tricks to building things. You've got a great crew there, everyone kept moving and knew what to do. No yelling or rushing, working as a team. You're a great leader.

I can’t throw away anything either

And only thing is I would like it all powder coated so it won't rust

Good job Jimbo! I got to tell you that I did laugh at you when you were building the columns & panels in your shop/garage. I laughed because I do the same damn thing as you did by working alone when we both at times could use another hand to help but, time spent telling someone how and what to do I could have already done it myself. I've been in construction since I was 14yrs. old and started full time at 18 & I'm 55yrs. now & I hate asking for help when I know I can do it myself and in fabricating work, that helper would probably be standing around waiting because I like building it the way I want it. I'm in the Northern part of LA county and I'm guessing but it looks like you're in the O.C. It's cool watching your channel because of it being so close by. I've been following your videos for the past 3 - 4 months and I don't why but I just now subscribed to your channel. Best to you Jimbo, Lou

I've got a mate in Washington, he needs a Pro to do some fabricating, he reckons it'll cost around $5 billion. Are you interested?

Awesome job Jimbo last time I welded in flip flops I got burned keep the great videos coming.

all you need now is to build a turret with a searchlight and guard with a sniper rifle and call it JIMBOTRAZ 😂

Put a huge magnet inside of an inside out Ziploc baggie then collect the metal shavings Turn bag outright then remove magnet #BagOChips #EZCleanUp

brilliantly 👍tanks, your video very helpful !

I just found your channel Jimbo and now I am subscribed to your channel. Super impress with your fabricating skills and how you don’t cut corners. No such thing as overkill in my book and yours as it seems lol keep up the great videos.

How you say in english???. MISSION ACCOMPLISED right?......good job

Nice job. That fence isn’t going anywhere.

Nice video! Liked seeing the shop and field work. You need a forklift for the shop. You can probably have a RU-vid channel dedicated to your concrete work and get a big following. Thanks for posting

holy smokes talk about heavy duty! You could stop a semi with that dude lol.

Jim, it's a pleasure watching your excellent work, you inspire me and I'm sure, all of us, to do the best we can do . It's a great feeling to stand back and admire what you have created . Thumbs up !!!

3:32 I was waiting for him to say "cant throw it away" after talking about the saw lol.

Wow that is a great fence I would love one

Thank you so much for the great detail I feel like I really learned something

complete overengineering! what are u preparing for? a zombie-invasion with tank -support??

How long does that metal blade last when cutting on Steel? I have a grinder wheel in my chop saw and i hate that it leaves the burrs at the bottom of every cut.

Hey Jimbo, are you from Whittier? I see the sign behind you Messina Dr. Whittier. I'm in Pico Rivera!

Hello Jimbo! my unknown is ... what piece you placed on the top of the columns so that rainwater does not enter. Did you protect the part of the columns that remained under the cement? Greetings from Argentina !

You really should wear steel toe shoes man, one slip of that metal and bye bye toes or worse the whole foot, it's not worth it. Not to be that "guy" but its just smart PPE

great job...can we see more start to finish videos like this please

YOU DO GOOD WORK, QUESTION, IN KY WE ALWAYS PUT A RUBBER BUFFER AROUND POST SO THEY DONT HEAT UP AND EXPAND OR GET COLD AND SHRINK

awesome! NICE WORK JIMBO and Team.

UM FORTE ABRAÇO JIMBO´S

nice job on the fence, glad to see my people getting lots of good knowledge of what you show them , you should do a video next time on intervening your workers .

Awesome job. I love it when premade stuff in the shop lines up in the field. Ballsy to prefab the sections. But it worked! Nice work.

You can build me a fence any day love the attention to detail

looks great.. well done...!!! is this the new Jurassic Park ?!!!

Im looking at doing something like this for my house

فنان انت ياجيم

Love your show!. I gotta ask, downhill dual shield makes me cringe although I understand your specific situation may allow. How do you feel about that process in general??

Sr. You are professional, good skills on your job and privide good explanation on the video, thanks for sharing.

Very nice work, typical USA big strong pen to keep the hens in...Stay safe from the UK

Overkill..yup. Let’s build a fully adjustable base, then bury it under concrete…is this a government job? They are the only ones that know how to dissolve money, time and resources.. Excellent video for laying out and showing welding techniques for heavier metal. Jimbo, your super organized shop makes me sick..I like my stuff organized all over the floor-thank you

Awesome job! Thanks for the inspiration!

How did you remove the mil scale in order to paint? If you use muratic acid then it would eat into the concrete. So how did you remove the milscale on that much metal?

I know this job is very hard, because we are a manufacturer of expanded metal machinery

Nice work Jimbo ! I always pick up a tip or two watching your channel. (By the way, I think you need a small bridge-crane in the shop brother) Thanks brother. Eric

Mannnnn Jimbo that's some awesome work sir! I've just been offered an opportunity to build up a company that has made a name for itself here in Washington state and let me tell you I'm feeling all kinds of pressure on this project. Gotta gitRdone! I appreciate your ways of the trade and have to say I'm learning alot from you although just got started watching your content. Thank you sir!

i just built a small fence for a customer of mine and i though i overkilled it.... mine is a little bitch compared to this one... I set my posts 4' deep and 18" diameter on the gate posts and 4' deep and 12" on the side posts.. posts for gates are heavy wall 4" and side posts are lighter 4" panels and gates are 1" x 1" for horizontal parts and .5x.5 vertical with the exception of the verticals at the end of each gate.. that is 1x1 also.. all welded and i thought it was some heavy duty stuff until i saw this... lol.. fantastic work man.. i want to build one like this now...

nice job jim , if it was mine fence i would make it eletric-fence lol again nicely done

I know what you mean about "can't throw them away". The wife is quick to point out my buckets of junk. Then she needs something done, and out comes the buckets. Yesterday I fabbed some Z shaped hold down brackets from 2 year old "junk", and made sure she knew where they came from.

Great Job. Looking at it all done you would have no idea how much went in to making a simple fence.

Pura raza mexicana contratan de trabajadores. Arriba México. ...I only have one question for you how much more or less The work went to that gentleman because apparently spending an eye of the face 😀

Safety first ,just simple and educational ,#all the way ,TOBAGO W.I.

Your process works fine. But there is more than one way to skin a cat. I fit structural steel for a living. If you wanted to avoid lifting every column on that square tube when you fit the plates on you could clamp an angle to the plate at your 3 in mark from center. Then just rest angle on end of column. Check w square and tack away. Modified square is pretty good for checking for square also. Not dogging the way you do it. Love your videos. Just throwing it out there.

Um those posts are going to rust away pretty quick. They would only last about three months in Australia. Nice work though My opinion from the land down under 🇦🇺

Sir, please, talk about the costs of the project. Frankly, I have a problem with pricing. Thank you very much

I can't weld to save my life but I only tried once using an old hobby welder years ago . My welds were as brittle as they could get lol . I work with wood mostly doing home improvements and every word out of your mouth I think should be a college degree course . So I have a question what Lincoln machine will serve me best to cut aluminum, steel and weld them back together? Thank you for renewing my interest

Hey Jim, I really like your content and video style. May I ask what is ‘dry pack’?

Anyone know why he used dual shield flux core wire instead of GMAW for those base plates on the 6” posts? Does flux core give better penetration?

Nice project man, but its un-galvanized and un-powder coated with no drain holes, in 10 years those pickets are gonna be mush

No offense! But is it a good idea to weld downhill with the fluxcore? Im a shipyard welder and we use fluxcore 95% of the time, and we are not allowed to weld downhill. Just curious

Nice of ya to put up that fence, and build it that heavy so someone can just lay some boards from the dirt bank to the top of the fence and have a bridge-way right in. Just saying...

Nice Job!! Do you guys use hot dip galvanizing over there? Corrosion is about the only thing that would beat that fence.

Box section is hollow inside it’s all made from box it’s not solid square bar but still good fence If he used 25 solid bar you know it be a fucker to move

Awesome job. I’m curious why you don’t have the concrete poured then drill your anchors into the top of the concrete? That’s a lot of work if one of those rots

what size wire since you're welding downhill? thank you for these amazing videos.

Great video good insight to the process really enjoyed it keep up the good work

Jimbo. Do you charge by job or hourly rate and extra fees for equipment and consumables

you must have a way better climate than here in Belfast , without air holes in the beams at the bottom , and caps on the columns , you would be lucky to see five years out of that fence , nice concrete job though.

Fascinating project and well done video.

I've been a fence builder for over 25 years. I've done tons of work for state municipalities and the federal government. THIS surpasses even the most stringent military requirements! This guy has a customer who must LOVE spending money lol.

Very nice job, just a few observations. Never go downhill with fluxcore specially with simething that thick. Shouldve capped the tubes Overall this was a solid build tho 💪🏼

You need to come down to our Texas border and help build us a big security fence!!!!!! ha

Can’t wait to see a gantry crane build for the workshop!

When your off-camera talking you sound like Kevin Costner!

Is war attack in this shop ? Jimbo came like TITAN for defend !This fence will be there in 5 millenium !

Killer job ! Really looks professional! Enjoy your channel.

Good job like every day

Been making shit for many years can't remember last time I wore sandals welding! Joke

Only one minute in to watching the video but nice shirt!

I believe you get better penetration with stick, specially if you bevel your metal.

hey everyone,i did i a similar thing and my panel warped very badly, any recommendations on how to straighten it back? working with 5/4"x5/4" angle not tubing tho

Heavy duty it is......niceee!!!

Are you using mild steel? Did you have to coat the posts at the bottom where you poured over the base so it won’t rust?
