I am currently extending my fence closer to the property lines to enable us to fully utilize more of our backyard and increase privacy. In this video will show you how to build a fence or at least the way I built our 6 foot privacy fence. The project starts in this video with the creation of 150+ feet of new 6’ tall shadow box fence to match the existing fence we have. I show my plans, method of installing the posts and building the new sections of fence. I believe this is a great DIY Fence project that most anyone could handle with enough time and a few key tools. In future videos I will give more details of how I built the large gate, how I reuse the old sections of fence, and the staining process of the sections built in this video.
I hope you enjoyed the video and come back to see how the project turns out!
Special thanks to my dad for helping out with this one!

@covidfake1573 4 месяца назад

I've glossed over a dozen DIY builds and all of them so far neglect to illustrate the most important step most people can't figure out. How did you lay out your string line to make it level and square? How did you determine how far away from the sidewalks, roads, utility easement, boundary? Never forget to have all utilities located first. I no each state and County has its own codes but they are closely related within reason. The string line layout is the most important step but nobody shares how its done.

@db-xb6yw 2 года назад

You are basically encapsulating your post in concrete. When your treated post shrinks- a gap forms around the post allowing moisture to build up around your post with no where to go due to the surrounding concrete. This could potentially rot out your post prematurely. One option might be to place washed gravel in the hole first- set your post and then fill with concrete around the sides to stabilize. Any moisture will then freely run through and out the bottom.

@ulyssescarranza6553 Год назад

Got a job on this tomorrow thanks chief . Good looking out. Love from California.

@johnlee7085 Год назад

Placing the post on gravel is probably better, but that also allows moisture to wick up from the soil below. Either way, the wood will rot. So much better to use a metal post, but also more expensive.

He does it well but there are methods that have the same quality that are faster. If your doing your own house sure this is fine but getting payed per job this would not cut it. Would take to long. So if you see people doing less than this, it does not mean they are doing a bad job.

@jmodified 2 года назад

I went to the extreme for my own house. Cut the tops of the posts, pickets, and the top sides of the side supports off at a slight angle and waxed all end cuts to reduce rain absorption; added 1x4 opposite the 2x4 for hurricane protection (wouldn't work with shadow box, but I have overlapping pickets); used slotted sliding connections with washers and lag screws between the side supports and posts to allow expansion and contraction without splitting; poured 2 inch wide 12 inch deep concrete under the entire length to stop animals from digging under.

@jmodified 2 года назад

@@EnginAyaz Not sure about the creator of this video, but where I live you do not need a permit or inspections to build a wood fence, but for metal you do, so it's a lot more hassle. The pt posts I used on my fence are in perfect shape after eight years, but I do live where there is rarely a freeze.

@lucaskirin1532 3 года назад

Wow that fence is immaculate. Glad to see all of the correct legal actions were taken when installing. You did not mention this, and i think it is a valuable point, but you may consider adding siege defense weaponry to the fence. Trebuchets, catapults, and ballistas would be ideal. Potentially evening adding a moat with a hydraulic draw bridge by the gate. Something to consider

@yessman78 2 года назад

You fitted those posts perfectly - they'll last so much longer than others I've seen fitted because of the way you've finished off the concrete above the ground level. PERFECT. Great finish to the rails and pickets too. Well done.

@bluesix2843 2 года назад

A very conscientious job. Well done. If I may offer a couple of additional tips. Using Bitumen sleeves that you heat shrink around the post necks will protect the posts from rotting at ground level. It’s the most likely failure point. Closing the grain on the top of the cut posts would be prudent. Maybe a timber cap, shaped lead or sealer. Additional treatment would have been best applied before erection, as you say a tricky job ahead!. A gravel/base board along the ground would have offered a consistent height guide for installing the Pickets to sit on and also provided a replaceable isolator keeping the bottoms of the Pickets away from damp ground. It’s easier to replace one horizontal board than multiple vertical ones. Also helps with sag as that is a lot of weight suspended on 3 cross rails. Maybe 4 rails next time🤷‍♂️ You’re spot on with your Auger experience and how best laid plans don’t always work out! Lucky you have such good ground. Well done, a fence to admire👌

@niteriderband4713 11 месяцев назад

I would have painted the buried bottom of the posts with creosote wood preservative for water/fungus protection. Also I read it is not good to put concrete at bottom end of wood posts because water will seep down and get trapped if post is totally encased with concrete. Put the post in first sitting on some gravel at bottom then pour your concrete in hole so the very bottom of post can drain any trapped water that would happen over time.

@GorgoScrobo Месяц назад

Yessir. 4-6” base of gravel at bottom of hole always. That’s why we say drill 6” deeper than your frost line I guess

@benjamincrooker2533 4 месяца назад

Nicest looking fence I've seen in a long time good job . If your posts shrink, just caulk the top of it with some driveway concrete cement caulking. 😊

@ryanmacewen511 3 года назад

I have the same nailer! It's decent for sure. I built a fence in 1997 at my parents house using the same method of post setting you did exactly. Although, I did through a rectangular picture frame mold around the top, for aesthetics and to run off water, raised about 2 inches from grade. I used 4x6's though since this fence could be plowed against in winter, and possibly rot more. I'm glad I over-built it. It's still standing today. I also incorporated a 9 foot wide swinging gate. I ran a 2x4 diagonal from top of hinge post to bottom of neighbor. The gate was essential two stacked trusses made of 2x4 members, screws, and liquid nails. I use weight bearing latch/pins. I used stockade fence sections which were pre-made, except for the gate, which I added two sections to. When closed the gate looks virtually invisible. I love your videos. Great work. Lumbers a bit insane right now. lol waiting.

@dannyball2503 3 года назад

Post level tool is pretty handy . I built a similar fence about 20 years ago, went 36” deep on all the holes, I only used one bag of quickcrete per hole. Hit lots of sidewalk , rock , and even asphalt. Dug the holes all by hand with shovels, post holes diggers and a heavy steel mining bar. The mining bar is like the jackhammer. It’s held up quite well over the years, kept the dogs safe. Nice job , you went further with attention to detail then I did.

@ThatTechTeacher427 3 года назад

Thanks, there are many ways to achieve the same result. The post level is pretty cool but only measures over a 6" distance. It can be misleading on a less than perfect post.

After I got all post marked, I measure two inches below that line to add my first line of cross rails. Now I can measure from my first rail to get my other two rolls of railing space out perfectly, by eyesight its straight as can be. Happy camper! I am cutting my post a 70" (two more inches higher).

What about planting a small hedge on the outer side of the shadow fence to help with noise pollution from the road and for some extra privacy.

@ThatTechTeacher427 3 года назад

Thats is a good idea something we will think about

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

I agree, that would definitely help with noise abatement and look nice to boot. But I would warn you, though, about a problem we encountered in an old neighborhood I lived in. The development had a privacy fence around it and a nice hedge in front of the fence. But it turned out the pickets were too low to the ground and too close to the hedge, because they got wet (and stayed wet much of the time) and eventually rotted out on the bottoms. We ended up having to rip all the fencing out and have it totally redone - expensive! So, I'd make sure the hedge watering system is well drained and don't allow mulch or plants to touch the bottoms of the pickets. Even pressure-treated wood has its limits.

@YesiPleb Год назад

When running the string from one start post to the other, cut three identical pieces of wood about an inch thick so you can offset the string by an inch on each post. That way when you come to add the posts, you don't end up with your string slowly being pushed out. Use that third block you cut to use to put it in the right place.

I would suggest that you buy and bring the lumber on site at least two weeks, open it out for a day or two let it air dry. Then pre finish all the post and rails and a section of the pickets. That way you can install a section and all the post and rails. Then finish all the pickets that have been drying with a sprayer in one day both sides with the required coats, and install the next day.

@Bags2723 Год назад

I'm not sure if this is your first fence built, but you did a great job. One thing I would suggest is that when you're setting your posts, you should put 4"-6" of pea or clear washed gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage. I'd also stop you concrete about 4"-6" below grade and then back-fill the rest of the hole with clear gravel and dirt to again help with drainage and prevent water from getting between the post and the concrete once your wood has had time to dry and shrink. Cheers. 🇨🇦

Good old fashioned sweat equity. Gosh I wish the newer generation of people could understand this. So many people buy a house, or more accurately take out huge mortgage loans for a house but don't have a clue about how to measure, cut or nail or fix anything. Well done sir, well done. As a contractor I appreciate your prep work even on the post concrete. One of my co bosses used to just run around and dump in the dry concrete right from the bag then add water, instead of pre mixing it properly as you did. Granted what he did was quicker and in the near term probably would hold the posts OK, in the long run it is not a good idea. In fact many building codes do not allow that shortcut.

@robertf4209 2 года назад

Amazing work and such incredibly detailed narrative. Love the creative use of simple jigs and such to facilitate working alone. Without your guidance I probably wouldn’t have thought about some of these until half way through a job, or maybe even never. This is really a tremendous resource you’ve put into the public domain. Your attention to doing quality work clearly shows. You did a lot of research on every nuance of the build. On top of this you had another large project which is this tutorial video. That you captured all this video and then created this wonderfully narrated tutorial is a project likely as complex as the fence build, and you did it with matching high quality . You are truly an amazingly skilled and generous human. Thank you !

@CG70CG70 3 года назад

Awesome job. I just did 75 feet of fence myself. I used the pre-made fence panels and thought about staining them with a brush and roller but chose to spray them instead, which now I know is the only way to go. I did reduce the amount of paint I sprayed and went at it from different angles to try and cover every bit, that seemed to work well. I also used the postmaster galvanized posts for my project which allowed me to do all the work from my side. Neighbor had an old fence I butted my new one up to because he wouldn’t let me remove his to give me the option of working from his side. I even offered to remove his and handle the disposal, no cost to him and he just wouldn’t budge. All worked out in the end. Good luck on the staining.

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

@@ThatTechTeacher427 I also got an inexpensive Harbor Freight HVLP paint sprayer and used an oil-based stain I've had very good luck with - TWP 100. I was able to spray it easily right from the 5g can (undiluted) and it covered well and soaked nicely into the wood. My fence pickets are rough cut, so while using a brush or even a roller would be doable, it would have taken a lot longer. However, make sure you stand upwind from the spray. Don't ask me how I know that. :)

I don't cut the posts until fence is up and I caan measure off the top of fence. Much more accurate that way. You might have mounded concrete a little more or less on posts.

@ThatTechTeacher427 2 года назад

I get why you would do it this way but on the flip side I measured up the height I wanted the top stringer on the first post and the last in the line. Ran a string line or a laser between those 2 points. Then double checked it at every post in the row to make sure that no pickets were going to touch the ground. The reason I like to do it this way is because my fence did not follow the grade of the land it follows a perfectly straight line and the top of the fence is perfectly straight from beginning to end. Only the gap between the bottom of the fence picket and ground chances.

@jw11432 2 года назад

It's definitely easier to use wooden posts, and having the concrete bottom and sloping the top helps, but I'd be afraid of rot still. Concrete still absorbs water and that can and will transfer to wood encased in concrete. I went with galvanized and painted steel posts when I built my fence. I also had to dig a bunch of holes, but I actually opted to buy a handheld auger, the kind with a small 2-cycle gas engine on top. I think I paid about $200 for it (used) and sold it after the project was done for at least $150, but I don't remember (it's been years). No doubt that rig used here was much easier to use ! lol My only regret is not going deeper for the post holes (I did 3 ft. deep holes) and not using kickboards (I think that's what they're called?) Basically, a 2x6 along the bottom/base of the fence, connected to the posts to help stabilize the posts and fence itself. I'm in North Texas where the soil is black clay, so the expansion and contraction can be a real pain in the ass, not only for fence posts but house foundations as well.

@ThatTechTeacher427 2 года назад

@law35penn Год назад

Nicely done, I've finished my shadow box last summer, but the one important thing I learned was that wooden posts don't last that long matter how much you treat them. All of the posts in my neighborhood or as I'm driving by ppls houses with fences. A good 75% have their posts broken, lean, or about to brake. I ended up using 2 5/8 metal posts with the special clamps that I can use wood pickets. I will spray this summer.

Did you get your utilities marked first?

@mattkerekanich 3 года назад

Usually corner lots in that area consider both sides facing a street to be front yards, which you can't install a fence in. Did you have to get a variance approved? Is that why you took forever for this project? Why are you the way that you are?

@ThatTechTeacher427 3 года назад

Actually yes getting the variance and permit took almost a month that did make this project take longer than I wanted.

I had a shadow box fence at a previous house that didn't get treated for a few years and got some moss and other nasties on it. I ended up pressure washing it with deck wash and then used a Wagner sprayer to apply CWF straight from the 5 gallon bucket. There are much better sprayers these days, but that Wagner made quick work of it. I would go down one edge, then up the other, and then down the middle. I'd then do the back of the outside board and on to the next. I'm sure you'll figure out a rhythm. Cheers!

I live near Toronto, Canada and many contractors pour the concrete into a "Sonotube" (or other brand of heavy cardboard tube) that's been placed in the holes in the ground and cut-off near ground level. Galvanized U-shaped post saddles with a rebar base are then embedded in each concrete-filled tube and aligned with string to hold the fence posts. This way, if you ever need to replace or remove a fence post or a fence section, you can simply unscrew it from the saddle. Just thought I'd share another method of fence building :-) The pros use laser levels to mark the height of the posts.

@ThatTechTeacher427 2 года назад

Those are all great ideas that sounds like the way we build decks or other small structures. Cool to hear how others do it.

@scottheywood6502 2 года назад

@@ThatTechTeacher427 The reality is that the way you did it the fence is way stronger. If a post rots you simply cut it off and use an old bumper-style car jack and a chain to pull out the concrete ;-) One thing worth mentioning regarding the "shadowbox" is air flow on hot days. I've been in yards with pools where the fence boards were butted and there wasn't a whiff of air movement. With the poured and stamped dark-shaded concrete walkways and patio an 86F day quickly became a 105F!!

@gkprivate433 Год назад

@@scottheywood6502 you know I like your idea. I am contemplating what type of fence for my Florida home and the idea of keeping air moving versus the white plastic fence people often use sounds like a good idea for my pool back yard.

@scottheywood6502 Год назад

@@gkprivate433 The shadowbox allows for airflow and helps whisk away the heat in the backyard. It's attractive on two sides so if you're sharing the cost with a neighbor you both get the same look.If you want more privacy you can set the vertical fence boards closer together. As you're in Florida I suspect your yard get darn toasty ;-)

Just stumbled across this video after doing some research on methodology for fence building (as I may need to replace one soon). I felt compelled to leave a comment due to how thorough you were with building this fence. This is me on a lot of projects. Usually gets involved and over engineered. Maybe it’s because I’m anal and a perfectionist. Either way your video hit all the checkboxes for me when approaching a project.

@justinhodges9127 Год назад

I just got done with my privacy fence with no help . I only knew 1 way to get pickets close to ground with the different contours . we have dogs . so I flipped pickets upside down , flushes with the ground used 1 screw at top to hold in place and made a level cut across the top . then flipped pickets right side up . pulled first board up 1 inch from ground and followed my level string line . the bottom of pickets were perfectly in line with each other and the curvature of the ground . but I will say it probably took longer than professionals . but hey I'm no expert

@justinhodges9127 Год назад

I also did not mix concrete . just dry poured and let the rain handle it from there .

@davidkeppler37 2 года назад

First of all...it's a great fence. An easier way to mix your concrete is put it in the hole dry and add water.. use. "REBAR" to poke and mix around the post a bag at a time. The clamp and spacer is good but a screw will hold the stringer at one end while you manipulate the other. Less moving parts and there's a screw there to use too. Good job and Information. No excuse for planning and good work!

many building codes do NOT allow just dumping in the concrete and then adding water. It is a quick and easy way to do it, but not as good in the long run

@rustybeatty6567 2 года назад

I would cap the top starting from the top runners up for a more decorative look and also reduce warping in the fence and it will strengthen the fence so you could have a sturdy mounting point for hang decorative and accent lighting or other things in the future on either side of the fence.

@ThatTechTeacher427 2 года назад
