Thank you!!! It was a lot of work; but, fun at the same time. We are really excited to look back and remember "We Built That!" A BBQ is an excellent idea, hard work is a lot easier when you are doing it with Friends and Family. Good Luck 👍🏻
How deep did you auger down? Are these 12 ft. 4X4s 4ft. down? Do you just pack dirt around them? Looks like the corners are 6X6. Any reason to use standard lumber like this rather than round posts I often see. Lastly what is your approximate cost per ft.? Thanks!
Hi Lance! Thanks for watching. The auger was 42 inch long and then we dug out an additional 6in so we were 4ft deep. We packed dirt to fill the posts in and then on some of the 6x6 corners we added gravel for more support. The only reason we used square posts was availability, the waitlist for round 12ft posts was 2 years. So far they look great, other than some of the freshly treated posts dried crooked. When all is said and done, it cost around $4 per foot for the deer fencing. Hope this helps!
We actually rented it from a farm supply store. You can also build one out of 2x4s and thick heavy duty bolts - we built one after this and it worked well, was able to stretch a 200 ft section without any issues
Link for the fencing? I’m doing the same north of Grand Rapids. I was going to do 45° braces but I like the H-braces which i guess could double as a frame for a gate. Any advice on the elevation changes?
Thank you for the comment! We got the majority of our supplies from Nevill Supply in Clare, MI. Usually their wood is on backorder, so we ended up getting square posts from Biewer Lumber in Lansing. When it comes to elevation changes, we put our posts significantly closer together and we screwed in square blocks to the bottom to prevent them from being pulled up. So far it seems to have worked really well. One thing to note, try to make sure the wood is dry before putting it into the ground. Because our wood was freshly treated, some of the posts curved as they dried out. Hopefully this helps!
Hello and thanks for the comment!! On level ground we placed our posts 18ft apart, whenever we had an elevation change we put the fence post much closer together around 12ft! Bekaert and some of the other fencing companies have guides on their website to help you determine your spacing based on distance and materials :)

@@CideryFromScratch has it held up good so far at 18’ spacing? I’m putting up a deer fence just like yours this winter and your videos are great. Thanks!
@@pinevalleyfarm4941 yes!! The fence is holding great. Only thing, we didn’t wait for our treated fence posts to dry so some of the posts aren’t straight anymore haha
@@CideryFromScratch thanks for the reply, I plan on doing 18’ spacing but with t posts. I’m sure I will have more questions for you before I get done with the fence lol. Thanks
