I should imagine that the number of views this vid gets will increase massively over the next couple of days!! Thanks for the tip and taking the time to post the video - very helpful indeed!
Aye...my fence has been ashed to oblivion ..hence why I'm here...as I type I'm pretty sure the other side of the garden wall has now also been demolished 😢😢
@@alanmunce7824 fair comment , but why not cut the panels to size easy to do and would look very professional , im in the process of adapting mine because you cant get panels for love nor money round here , ...good technique for lifting , luckily ive managed to push my panels into position
BIG LN...... i say a big n huge thank you. I had to replace four 6'x6' panels in concrete posts. Same problem of how to hold them when they will go 12' high in the air. So your advice tip was the perfect solution saving the need of a second person's help. I know that advice came through the years of experience. Thank you once again.
Big Al - thank you. I have been despairing over the UK weather....also I am quite short but I think this will work. I just have to have the confidence to do it on my own. Thank you again!
gonna try this, literally stumped, figured out the same technique, but thought the only way I can do it is screw on some kitchen handles, hahaa, gonna see if the string method works right now😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️💪
It didn’t work, almost broke my leg, getting pulled off the step ladder, by the falling panel. Solved the problem a safe way. Wooden posts with metal channel clips. Standard clips for the bottom and middle points, but cut out a centre section from each clip and made two new clips, which have the appearance of the orhers, but which attach after installation, so you can just fit the bottom and middle clips, making a one man lift very safe and quick. Job solved😛😛🤣🤣🤣💪💪💪🤣❤️❤️❤️
This works 🤙, nice one Al… check out 1:55 this also happened to me. If you have good balance and footwork ‘like Al’ your be fine. If you can do this with 2 people, doing it this way is a doddle. 🤜🤛
That great. I got my son to help with my 6x5 ones BUT that easy slotting down doesn't work - the space seems about 2 inches smaller at the top! I am going to start by trying to shave some wood down the side I suppose.... why are these jobs always so difficult in my case? Nothing ever goes to plan even though I carefully measured - at the bottom it is indeed 6 foot and the new panels are 6 foot.
I mean, am I the only one that noticed you didn't even use the loops after you fell off?! 😂 great idea though! Is it simple to shorten a 6ft x 3ft down to a 6ft x 2ft?! Thanks
Great for the smaller panels but taking them out & putting back in with the 6ft panels is a 2 man job. Just noticed the bottom of your panels don't have a batten brace. My 6ft panels didn't have any so I'm having to put some on the underside now as the panels in the centre bow out over the concrete gravel board 😩
It doesn’t work, just tried it and almost broke my leg😭😭🤣🤣❤️ Better to use metal clips to the middle of the panel, then adapt a clip for each side, so it can be fixed after mid height installation. Pair of tin snips, a drill and a file for clean-up, super safe and easy, plus it looks almost identical, to a normal clip.
That's very risky. Job was made that much easier due to the shorter posts. Also, a better quality fence, such as a Closeboard, is so much heavier, which will require assistance, unless your name is Giant Haystacks! Otherwise, hernia here we come! 😢
Alan Munce Thanks, but I meant on a existing fence with posts cemented already. Lifting up 60-70kg gravel board over my head it’s impossible I’m going to need another pair of hands.
so this is 30cm gravel board with 6x6 panels? I wonder how long the fence posts are and how many cm of the fence posts are underground? it seems that a post extender is needed to level the tops?
This will not work with heavier paling panels, the string will snap or it will cut straight through your hand and oh look he's cheating! Only 5ft posts! Hahaha
