Kentucky 4 Board Fence Install...Faceboards 

#2 good info, love these usable info videos

A lot of people don’t understand how hard it is to be a farm and how strong minded farmers are , don’t know what goes on back door , and thank for your channel and god bless your family .

That's a great looking fence, I like the "faceboard" gives it a nice finished look and that fact you cut a little longer for water to drip is even better. Thanks for putting this out there.

man you have a come a long way weight wise from all that hard work! enjoy all your videos!

Hey Josh thanks again for another good video and I hope that you and mrs. Stoney Ridge get to go on vacation enjoy yourselves because the both of you deserve it and I remember you mention that's on a live stream so I hope the both of you can get to do that very soon you deserve it the both of you

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

Thats actually a pretty good nail gun for that use. Fence is looking great. Thanks for sharing.

I have respect for all farmers 🙏🏾❤️

Cutting with that stihl chainsaw was too cool. Like nice really nice

Looks very nice such a good job you did your farm is so beautiful take care you guys God bless

Great info Josh

Always love the info Josh! Can't say enough good about what you do.

Looks great buddy. Learned a couple things too!

Looks awesome!!

Damn boss. That Stihl is the bomb

Bud I got to say your looking like a farmer more every day go back to when you got the ford truck and now 👍👊 YOU BE WORKING BROTHER!!!!

Great job. Looks awesome I can see me building one in upstate SC soon.

A couple of things. Save the head of tripod and mount it somewhere that you normally hang a camera. Second, if you make a jig that locks under the top rail and sets on top of the rail, you won't have to check angles and height. Let the jig do the work. Then just nail.

Shoot I am thanking of getting one of those chain saws.

Boiled linseed oil is used as a finish on many gunstocks, keeps the moisture out and lets the wood grain shine through.

I'm sold on the Stihl battery saw. I can see why it's always on the Kubota.

Simple wood preservative over here is used motor oil and diesel: 50/50 mix. Wood posts,fence boards,trailer deck, not so much on wood decks for people. Has a bit of a smell to it.

great video!!

Maybe you could use that tripod for shooting videos around corners.

Times tables are not 'math' they are just rote learning. They are useful to know. If someone tells me '6 x 8' I automatically respond '48' without having to think about it.

I believe that you should mark top board and also side/front of each board to confirm that you are staying straight.

I love this fence! I would love to do it on our property but it has a lot of sloping.

Placing the boards bark side out will help with them cupping,if possible.Asthetics come first though.

The face Board also keeps horses from bumping up against it and causing the long boards from coming loose. We Kentuckian's use that type of fence mainly for horses. You did a beautiful job, looks like the fences in Lexington Kentucky. Blessings to you

You alternate 8 ft and 16 ft boards? Wouldn't that be like building a brick wall with 1/2 and full bricks? (I understand that you need 8 ft boards to be able to end the fence portion and have a gate.) The wife and I enjoy watching your videos and learning from them. She likes seeing where the food products got their start before they came to the grocery store. We both have farmers in our linage. I'm a tool fanatic and enjoy that aspect. I think the Ventrac is unique in several ways, love it. Your spud wrench is more than that. It's like a Crescent wrench and is an ADJUSTABLE spud wrench. High rise construction workers use the non-adjustable type to bolt the steel girders together. U.S.A.F.? YES! 4 years from late '60s to very early '70s. Aircraft Structural Repair: 53470.

Great video Josh! I'm thinking about building a fence similar to that on my new property. Just wondering how much you had to spend on your supplies if you don't mind me askin?

The Bob Ross of painting fence post. I was waiting on you to say "Happy Little Fence Post Lives Over Here". Lol

I use lard on the top of my fence poles it melts right in to the wood

mix old motor oil with diesel, put all that in a spray gun. thats how you knock down a job quickly

Lol that tripod 🤣 fence looks awesome

Too late now, but ring-shank nails are good for this application because they don't back out as easily with all that swelling and shrinking. OOPS! You just started talking about ring-shanks when I clicked the Comment button.

I love the machine that you used to push steel nail. That machine run by gas , right ?

Come back with some liquid road asphalt/ thin tar on a hot day paint the tops and your good for years.

I nailed a bit of flattened roofing tin onto the top of my posts, linseed oil is way too expensive in my country

Alright so what am I missing here Josh? You've been in the Air force, electrician, Police officer, nurse and fence nstaller. Your a man of many hats. My grandfather used to say Jack of all Master of none but successful at each. 👍

I live in western Pennsylvania we call a chainsaw a trim saw . Maybe we said that everytime we saw the amish use it to trim a board.

Try my mixture of used motor oil and diesel fuel. 50/50 mix. Checkout my Instagram for some pics of a gate post. It is beautiful! Would make that fence look amazing and best of all it is almost free!

You make really entertaining videos

If you ever paint it, don’t use latex paint because it traps the moisture in the wood and the wood will rot faster.

Why are there two types of fences used on Stoney Ridge Farms (?stationary wooden and what looks like temporary electric)?

What would you estimate per running foot of fence

It sucks losing equipment but be happy it wasn't one of the pro tripods we use at work. You'd be out several thousand dollars.

You need to heate oil,then no need alcohol,nitro ...

Battery powered nailers i feel are better no need for gas just battery. Milwaukee and Dewalt make great nailers

I love my Paslode framer for my fencing biz. Your website has no information on crops or meat etc...just merch....how do y'all make money to support everything?

When a post driver is not an option, what is another option for setting posts?

What did ya use to install fence post? Have any videos of The process?

Used motor oil and gas .Use on all my trailers .Dryies right in

Fence had to cost a mint. Looks great 👍

A nice little trick for you level when your doing these types of things, is to duct tape a block or offcut to the top then it'll hung from the top of the post for you! It makes life just a little easier. Looking awesome Josh!

Ive been a painter for 19 yrs and I think you will regret painting that fence. I would put a solid color stain and polyurethane on. If you put paint on it,I would use a epoxy.

how come it looks like the fence moves around - for example 23:20? Is it not intended to be rock solid? I would be concerned with larger animals leaning on it and knocking it down.

I love the details you share about building the fence but I do have a question relating to 4 board fence. Do you have any plans on ever installing 4 board with welded wire/field fence backing? I've always wondered how to pull the wire before the boards go on without using corner bracing. I'd like to see how it's done without causing the corners to get out of alignment

Great videos there very Educational. Your doing fantastic job on building your farm. Thank for your Service. Keep up the good things you do.

Never seen a cleaner piece of land great content

Great video bro! That fence looks awesome!

Great vid bud and I need contact ya again ..lol but say hi to Mrs stoney ridge and love ya all godbless ..oh and the fence looks awsome ..👍

The fence is looking awesome Josh. This video was packed with useful information. Really like that Stihl chainsaw. Enjoyed this video as always.

For a durability on post, does matter if it in dry or wet land?

Lol...Nope not end of video...paused just before you said it...add Stihl electric saw to the list...continue

I live in N.C. just I’ve an hour East of Raleigh on the VA line (lake Gaston). I’m getting ready to put up a fence where I’m building a house on the farm and I’m looking to rent a post driver. Any info would be greatly appreciated? I need to drive 100-130 post so one weekend of renting

we had a neighbour put up a fence not a smart person at all he was told to put the pointed end up to keep the duck from seating on them lol people laugh at him he when bad to the place and complained to the manager asked him have you see a duck sitting on your post he said no why would you question my employees for the posts are working lol this guy broke the side morrows of his truck the only tree on the fence line hit it going there and coming back yea think the dealership put on 12 pairs of morrows finally his dad when out and cut the tree down lol he never learned back in his truck to work it in the shop lol finish the work went to take out the truck put it in reversive back throw the wall lol

Man, you make everything look fun, Mr. Perfect. :>)

What was you cost per foot including posts doing it yourself?

I am concerned about using a clipped head Paslode nail on wet timber. When the timber dries it will want to cup. The nail heads won't have enough surface area to resist this cupping force. Plus pine, being a soft wood will simply tear it's fibres over the head of the nail. That's been my experience anyway. Take care.

How much he cost 2368 feets this kind fence ,5 feet high with 4 boards 2x6x8?

Sir you should rap with plastic the buttom of your post to stay more longer.its very nice farm nice to work.

What stone did you use on your driveway?

What happened to using diesel fuel and old used motor oil like the old timer used to do. They weren't scared of big brother and their mafia friends the epa.

ah the finished job. like it. tip; mold can grow on linseed oil so an anti mold additive from yr paint store added into the mix is a good idea. something like VC175.

Thanks for explaining the purpose of the boards, covering the seams. Last time I was in your part of the country ( approx 10 yr's ago) was wondering why they built the fences that way, now thanks to the Stoney Ridge Farmer (Josh) now I know. Have to admit, it may cost more to build the fence that way, but it was the look (no seams) that caught my eye in the first place. Whooo.

The chain saw what model is?

Good work Josh👍

Why not 4×4 instead of post

Won’t it be easier to do all painting first

So don’t do face boards if you plan on painting??

Very helpful information. I have fence to build this year and all your fence videos have given me more ideas to consider. Thank you.

Thanks for another good video, Have a great day!

Yeah, I did that to one of my tripods, too.

I thought for sure you where going to cut though all of them on the saw horse 😳 hahahaha

Another awesome video, fence looks awesome!! On a side note I love the Ventrac t shirt are they available for sale thru ventrac or was that a goody they sent to you?

Great looking fence.

what a "Purdy " fence...out West, our fences are put up with the boards INSIDE the posts (resists breaking when a 'rangy" cow tests it). and why not just stagger the joints, instead of cutting off all those 16 ft boards? I'd put the Linseed oil on after awhile too because if you paint it, you'll be doing that Every Year!

Shouldn't use a chainsaw with one hand 🤣

DO NOT PAINT! My Grandparents made the mistake of painting Cedar Shakes on our family cottage, and we dealt with pealing paint for decades. We got so tired of painting and touching up, that we put insulated vinyl siding over it. If anything, I would suggest using colored stain. We did that for our Amish shed, and it holds up much better. Fence is looking great!

Who in the NAME watches these Vids and thumbs down? If a person doesn't like these kinds of vids then pls go elsewhere. Highly informative! BLESSED BE!

Great video and beutiful fence. Question for you, why did you choose round fence posts instead of square? Some people around Clayton, NC have started building fencing like this except they use 4x6 posts and paint it all black, it's pretty but I would assume very expensive considering the costs of 4x6 posts.

For someone painting their fence black, I wonder how well tar would work to seal the cut ends.

Great video super informative.

I’m a new subscriber and started off watching the willy’s Jeep restoration series and didn’t see what the end result was. Did something happen where Josh couldn’t finish it? I will watch the rest of his videos but until I do I’m just curious if something happened...thanks!

Now that the boards have had a year to dry out... Did you Paint, Stain or Spray Diesel and Used Motor Oil on it? I think another video is required there Josh. WOOOO!

I get that you needed to do the narration, but pressure treated lumber should really only be cut while wearing a mask. If the pressure treatment chemical(s) can prevent rot for years...imagine what they'll do to your lungs.

Nice job josh God bless and stay safe

Posts rot off at the bottom because water enters through the top and people usually don't put gravel in the bottom of the post holes so the water has no where to go and builds up in the post and the ground level is first place it has a chance to mix with air and leach out, hence where it rots. Nice looking fence!

Growing up in Colorado at 8500 feet in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, in that dry climate we would have to Linseed oil our porches and untreated areas every year. When it would rain our exposed areas would bead up like wax on a car, but it lasted.
