This is one of the best wooden fencing videos I've ever seen. A couple of things I like to do are to put a few inches of gravel at the bottom of the post so if water works its way down the post it can sink below the wood. The second thing I like to do on the poured concrete is to slope it away from the post so water will never sit on the poured concrete next to the wooden post. Blessings to folks like yourself that enlighten the rest of us!

Instead of all that extra work, why not just stick a simpson post base into the concrete to elevate the post out of ground contact.

I built a 4 foot fence back in 1982 using treated 4 x 4 posts, 2 x 4 stringers, and 5/4 decking boards . When I set the posts, I just carefully tamped the dirt back around the posts. No concrete needed. Very sturdy over 40 years later and when I needed to replace 2 posts a few years ago they were easy to remove.

I disagree. Its an ugly common fence. Not a fancy woodworker, finish carpenters fence. He made it for the posts to withstand a hurricane in Florida coast. Tar poisons the earth around the post .

@AztecWarrior69
@AztecWarrior69 Год назад
As a Texan, I take aFence to that. Best planned fences here in Texas are planned for hurricanes and high winds. No matter how big the footing, they can snap. A well planned fence is one you can take out of the ground if needed. This is way overkill and over built. Not to mention all that he did and yet NO PEA gravel on the bottom. Drainage goes a long way to having a long lasting post. He also painted the bottom. Now any moisture that seeps into the bottom(from splits in the post) is retained in the post. ANd that monstrosity of a top on those footings. Notice he doesn't show the trouble he surely had with putting on the sacrificial kick boards. Those things go as close to the ground and when you got concrete eve a bit above the ground you have to notch the shit out of them, making the weak. And also his neighbor is going to have to deal with the crap on their side too. Best thing to do is get some roofing flashing and bend it around the post in a U shape. Tack it and paint over it. If you don't want to do all that you can buy premade post guards. Last finish the tops below ground level and make a crown from post down. I can guarantee those "flat" tops are sunk in just a bit to the center.

@Keith98765
@Keith98765 3 месяца назад
Nice video. One thing that I noticed. I learned that we shouldn't tar the bottom part of the post and to leave as is. The reason is that, If we seal the bottom the tar makes a "cup" around the post. Meaning that water that seeps in from the top part of the post gets trapped inside without it able to escape. If we don't sealed the bottom, water is in theory able to escape out. I see that you have a lot of clay where it collects a lot of water so I'm not sure if this idea is good or not. It would be interesting to see if you made an update video from this project.
@Pepe-dq2ib
@Pepe-dq2ib 2 месяца назад
Yes you are correct. If he wants it to last longer, the only option is something like a Simpson metal post bracket. It'll keep the timber from wicking moisture from the ground and also be opened to the air to dry naturally. If you insist on using timber post of course, otherwise a steel post is best.

I know this is a day late and dollar short but thought some of your viewers might be interested. You are right about the plastic sleeves, they don't really look nice and I am not sure it will completely keep the treated wood from soaking up rain water. I like the tar coating idea, I think it is good. But I will add to it. I have seen another RU-vidr (farmer) replacing fencing post and he used an old farmers trick. Mixed a 50/50 solution of burnt motor oil (free) and diesel fuel as the intial coating and then applied tar over that. The mixture also gives the wood a nice stained look. He filled a 5 gal bucket with the solution and stood the bottoms of the 4x4 post in the bucket and let them sit in the solution overnight. So the posts actually soaked up the solution by wicking. On the posts that I have done, I also added the mix solution to the top of the post. Yes you can protect the post tops with covers or cut them at and angle so the water would run off. Even at that I would still cover the post tops with the solution. I do like the over engineering. It will probably be there long after you are moved or gone. Good Luck

In my younger years I built a stockade fence in my moms back yard. I used 4x6 posts, set in concrete. The fence was subject to bit of wind and snow plowing in winter (also thawing of large snow piles), I built in 1996, and it's still straight today. I simply set them in concrete. I did build up a rectangular apron 2 inches above grade around each post base. I didn't treat the wood, other than the PT from lumber mill. I integrated a 9 ft swinging fence that had a stacked truss made of PT 2x4, and liquid nails. I put one 2x4 diagonal in tension from top of hinge post to base of neighbor. Doubt I'd have it in me to do it again today, but I was able to drive cars in and out as needed. When closed, the gate vanished into fencing. Now I get to do it all again at my new house. lol.

The fence I redid last summer I liquid rubbered 2 1/2 feet of the bottom even though I only placed 2 feet into the ground. I also used treated landscape timbers as the posts. Then painted the posts so no black rubber would show that's above ground. Also place them 4 feet instead of 8 feet so not to add to much pressure on the posts due to wind and time.

I have pulled a lot of posts in my days and found quite a variety of prevention that never worked. The only thing I'd say about your set up is not to cover the entire bottom of the post with tar.

I loved watching this video. To the viewers that are criticizing the effort that went into this fence build, you simply don’t understand this man. He takes great pleasure in doing things a certain way. And for him, there is no other way. He will feel great every time he looks at this fence for years and years to come. He would feel awful looking at that same fence if he “took shortcuts”. Having said that, I do want to point out what I believe is a very significant mathematical error. If the post hole is supposed to be “3.5 times the size of the post” that doesn’t mean 3.5 X 3.5”. It means 3.5 X the AREA of the post in square inches. The AREA of the post is 12.25 square inches and 3.5 X 12.25 is 42.875. A post hole with a diameter of 7.38” would have been adequate. That means smaller auger, less work, less concrete, less rebar, less work to remove in 30 years, etc, etc. Still loved the video though!

An alternate to the tar: roll-on bed-liner which can be painted later. You need dry wood and fully encapsulate the post with the liner to deter termites and carpenter bees. I used to use creosote when I was a kid but think the EPA took that off the market.

Tip for digging in clay. It’s easy when the clay is wet. While that’s not convenient when the weather is dry, it’s fairly easy to remove a little at the surface and fill the hole with water. Maybe a few times depending on the depth of excavation.

I have only built fences on my property, but every fence post I have ever had to replace was encased in concrete and had rotted out at the ground level. I like the tar sealing the part of the post in contact with the concrete. Concrete holds the moisture against the wood accelerating the rot. Proper home construction limits water intrusion but makes sure that if water does get somewhere you don't want it, it can drain away from the structure. I think the same should go for wood in the ground. I place the rocks I pulled out of the hole, 24 - 30 inches deep, in the bottom of the hole and around the post as I back fill. The water drains away and the wood can dry out after being wet. I bevel the top of the post at 45°and paint to prevent wicking from pulling water in through the end grains, it lasts longer than water seal.

Just pulled out 35+yo 4x4 pool fence posts. SE Pennsylvania. They were 2 feet deep, in clay soil. No concrete... No ROT. The post above ground was rotted wherever there were nail penetrations. If you wanna save yourself Alot of work, dig the hole, place the post, and tamp(firmly) the soil back around the post. And yes, they are strong enough.

Agree with you and just set half a dozen 4x4 PT fence posts in clay with tamped gravel, no concrete. BUT today's PT doesn't have arsenic and those 35yo posts did, so I'm giving my fence maybe 10-15 years before the posts are rotted. But then at least I won't be pulling 400lb concrete slugs!

I thought that you were not supposed to tar the bottom end grain of the post so that accumulated water can make its way out via gravity. By taring the whole thing you make a water proof "bucket" that moisture can't escape out of except to wick back upwards. Also, did you seal the tops of the posts to keep rain and bird poop out?
@martinmorgan9
@martinmorgan9 Год назад
You have a point here. It appears decay is only promoted when water AND air are available to the decay bacteria so tarring the post is needed from 2" above ground surface to about 14" below ground. I favour putting a bed of free-draining aggregate immediately under the post to allow any water percolating between post and soil to dissipate.
@stillraven9415
@stillraven9415 Год назад
If you put dry wood in wet concrete the wood will swell as it absorbs the water out of the concrete making it Crack the concrete. Then water will follow the cracks and rot out the wood. Another way is to put the post in a heavy garage bag so that the concrete doesn't touch the post.

TIP: To ensure a good finish on all the tops of the footings, the first pour should be about 1" short of the top of the form. Then pour all the other posts to the same level and it won't matter if the concrete starts to set up. The last concrete will easily bond to the still "wet" concrete below. When all the footings are filled ( to 1" below forms ) , you can then do your final mix and finish all the footings within a short time ( less than an hour ) so that gives you a chance to provide a nice finish to all the post footings. Also sloping the top of the concrete away from the post base lets water drain away. 🙂

On a fence I did back in the day I made the mistake of tarring the very bottom of the posts rather than just the sides, which acted like a water-proof sleeve for the water that does inevitably get into the post over time. Since the water had nowhere to go, it ended up rotting out the bottoms. Since then, I leave the very bottoms un-tarred...like how they make windows with weep-holes. No more rotted posts.

If the soil drains well (more sandy soil), then gravel at the bottom doesn't really solve anything, but it won't hurt anything either. If the soil does not drain well (clay-based soil, like the guy in this video), then the gravel at the bottom will act as a location of least resistance for the water, and the "clay basin" of soil will fill with water, doing the complete opposite of the desired effect. Look at timestamp 34:11 to see what your gravel base will look like in clay soil that doesn't drain well. Additionally, he tarred his posts, to include two inches above the surface of the soil, eliminating the #1 location of post rot. The only thing he could have done to "overkill" it more is to char the wood surface before tarring it.

He’s correct. He is OCD. I worked for a fence company in college. Holes: Bobcat with auger. I’m sure he could have rented one. Never use cement on your posts. Simply use a pry bar with a flat head in one side. Tamp down the clay and that post will never move. It’s also easier to remove and you prevent rot since no concrete which will contain the rainwater. Put your posts in long. Then run your level string and mark each one then cut to length. So much energy wasted but if your happy doing it your way then so be it.

Here in a Chicago suburb, the building code requires a hole depth of 30" below grade. Did that, but the posts still "heaved" about 6" out of the ground. Next time I will do ~40" holes. Water dissolves concrete over time, so I want the concrete top _above_ grade, and crowned -- so water will not pool on top. Wood posts are nice, but my steel posts covered with wood should last longer. This danged wood turns gray and sponge-y over time, so maybe it's worth spray-sealing it every couple of years.

@@user-xi1jl7by5e Are you in the Chicago area or somewhere "north"? My fence posts started heaving within a year or two. I should mention that these fences are at the edges of my back yard, in the "swale" = the trough that (in theory) allows rainwater to flow toward the street / sewer. The swales were not well designed when the house was built, so the water stays and my backyard is kind of a swamp. Rainwater and snowmelt flows toward the fences and just pools there. (I planted some pussy willows, which soak up water, and they grew ~12' tall.) So if your fenceposts are constantly in water ... and then the ground freezes and thaws ... there is risk of heaving. Next time I will do at least ~40" postholes. Maybe that will solve my problem. Good luck with your situation!

Putting the tar on the bottom of the post seals it up. That's a problem. Water gets into the long grain at the top of the post and seeps down the grain into the bottom. If it can't seep out into the soil below the post, the wood stays wet, rotting much faster - for all the portion of the wood that's buried. Many folks make the mistake of putting concrete or foam in the bottom of the hole under the post, which does the same thing. Sealing the top of the post won't help, because some moisture will always permeate through the sides, too, eventually that water will also move down in the post.

Awesome job!! I am of the same mind when it comes to construction whenever budget allows. I do want to point out one area I would have recommended a modification. These are only for maximum duty life, specifically from water intrusion and thus bugs and then rot. 1: How you trowels the top of the concrete raised box. You made them flat. Flat will allow water to sit and pool. I would have recommended you made it on a fixed angle from the post side faces. This will cause the water to run off. To that end, after 100% cures, paint the above ground concrete as it will increase water runoff and help reduce its water holding. 2: Tar/Seal tge open face top of the fence posts . Then attach a plastic/poly top cap over them. These will also be pitched from the center to allow runoff. As I am sure you know, water intrusion into cut wood, especially from the end grains, is via capillary action and following the voids in the wood fiber strands. Hence, for the pitched tops to the posts and the concrete box. I personally am doing something very similar in our current home. This will only be a 4' 4 rail fence. It will use many if your steps. The posts will be 6x6. The rails 1x6. The 6x6 will be channeled for the 1x6 rails so they are flush faced. The channels will be tar sealed. The exposed posts and rails will be penetrated oil based stained. After pre drill (with flush head countersink) we have this industrial syringe to squirt stain in the predrilled holes and countersink face. Then coated decking screws will be used and a quick coat of the stain on top. I will ve using vinyl top caps on the posts but they will still be filled sealed underneath. I will ve using your raised box but will pitch angle the top of the concrete and paint seal it for max water intrusion prevention. Did not think of using a rear wire framing. Will be using that good idea. As we have a 4' auger on a pto tractor driven attachment it is far less labor intensive for me. Even though they are only 4' above ground, I am still going to put 3' in the ground to ensure I am below the first line, so any chance of heeving will be almost eliminated (in the mountains of N Va.) The only possible thing I could do to achieve greater longevity would be to switch to fully synthetic boards. But even with all this extra work it's still less than ⅓ the cost of just the syn posts and beams themselves. Not sure if you've done a video on it. But one on a no sag fence gate like the double yard gates to allow a vehicle or riding mower thru. IME to build and engineer a long term no sag smooth working double or wide gate is no easy task with wood.
