I keep a couple of dozen pickets on hand in case I have to do a repair on my fence. I made one of these with one of those boards. I was surprised how sturdy it was when assembled. I was even more surprised when I saw the retail price if I were to purchase one at the local garden store or big box store. It cost me almost nothing and I saved $50. Thanks for the great video.
Wife wanted a trellis and the garden center had these for $40. $4 and 30 minutes later voilla! Great, easy to follow video. Would be awesome to list approx. reference points in description, but thats only because I don't get good reception in my workshop.
I also make them with the Pine pickets and paint them Flat White but the Cedar trellis will take less time without having to wait for paint to dry. Great video. Thank you.
Love This, a few of these would be great for our wild running roses.(Wife). I would use a few for my Muscadines & Scuppernongs. Sweet, never knew it would be this easy. Thank you for sharing God Bless.
700% profit! Cedar pickers are my go to as well and use them to build garden beds. I’ll have to make some of these. Keep up the great work and let’s continue to inspire others. 👍🏼
Love the project. I'm currently building these for mothers day. The timing seems to be a bit off. Using a jig and air stapler (no glue), got 5 done in about 30 min. Does glue make it that much better?
Excellent video! I may have to build some of these! Cedar fence planks are not very common in my area, but I do have a 2x4x8ft cedar board I could use. After that, could pressure treated be used?
The cedar 2x4 could work great but it does cost a lot more, at least in my area. I probably would not use the pressure treated wood for your plants and garden because of the chemicals that could cross over.
@@SpecificLove7 Pressure Treated Wood no longer uses “nasty chemicals” like it did back in the early days. PT wood is perfectly safe to use in gardens, trellises, raised beds, etc.
@@jamesbarlowjr.3762 not a problem. pine would last a few seasons tho, especially if treated. would want to pay more attention to the part that is buried as it would rot faster.
Good morning fellow anarchists, lol. These are great but dont ship well. To broaden my customer base I make mini trellises for planter, window, & flower boxes. I max out at 16 inches tall and about 12 inches wide that way I can send them in a large book ox or a picture box.
Sorry, but 7/8” X 5/8” is not enough for a quality product. Eat the slight cost increase, cut them 1-1/8” and stand out from your competition. This will lead to more repeat sales and referrals

Excellent video - thank You. Wife will be thrilled
Just made one, Thanks for taking the time to explain.

A great job, it was great, very well done, a huge hug from my humble Uruguayan channel 👍💪🇺🇾
These are lovely and so easy to make, you are so cleaver. Thank you for the tutorial 👍👍 you make it look so easy. Can't wait to try it out
Thank you Rhonda
That was great,one fence board does it,quick and easy.👍

Thank you for sharing
God Bless.
That is a great idea for the roses and the wild grapes. We have a bunch of Scuppernongs in our area, and I might have to use that as well. Great idea!
This was my first project for my garden! I like your vids, short, sweet, simple!
Beautiful! Love watching
Thanks Loren
Since this is cedar I believe I do NOT need to use an exterior wood sealer?
Great sharing thanks
I will be building mines this weekend
Excellent speaker
Exactly what I needed! Thanks!
I've seen the 2 fence board method, which does make a beefier looking trellis, but this is perfect for most light weight vining plants.

Thanks I.B.
Wonderful Idea!!
Thanks! This is a create quick gift or for sale item
Love it! you make it look so easy.

Wondered the same thing. Though the glue on the endgrain does not seem optional to me.
You don't have to use glue, but I prefer it just in case the staple rusts quickly. But 5 in 30 minutes is hard to disagree with.
@@SpecificLove7 what length Brad Nail did you use? Thank You. 🤝
Great idea!
Great project "hack" . . . well done!! One question about your picket fence -- is it a nominal size of 1" x 6" x 6ft??
The actual size is about 5/8" thick and about 5.5" wide
@SpecificLove7 the width of ours has shrunk to 5 3/8
Great video
Great vid! Thanks!
Great idea👍🏻 Awesome!
Do these just rest on top of the ground, or do you attach them to a stake in the ground?

Sweet! Just what I needed.
How would you suggest to stake these into the ground for free standing?
You could take a couple scraps, cut the ends at 45 degrees, and attach them to the bottom of the trellis to make stakes. :)
What a fantastic idea! Thumbs up!
Thank you Tom
Would Pine Pickets be good as well? Those I do have but not Cedar. Thanks!
James, pine will have a tendency to rot much quicker if left untreated. if sealed they would last longer of course.
@@victoryak86 Thanks I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks Again for replying. 🤝
@@jamesbarlowjr.3762 not a problem. pine would last a few seasons tho, especially if treated. would want to pay more attention to the part that is buried as it would rot faster.
@@victoryak86 Got ya. Yeah I can check into both types. 🤝
Nice. Thanks.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TOO ALL MOTHERS.
Thank you Dennis
Would you like to test bat house ?
Don't know where you folks live, but here in Ontario , they sell for around $18 each
I remember when the pickets were $1.79. It's sad how high lumber prices have gotten to.
It is unfortunate how prices keep going up, but that is just a process of inflation and need for resources. Just make the best of what you got.

Home Depot sells them for $25
50 buck wtf is that @? It's $27 down south
You must be someplace where people spend money .!
I have yet to find such a place !
Where i live , everyone is a cheapskate !

how long is a picket?
@@BrianGalyer just shy of 6 feet if you cut off the dog ear ends to square it up
Picket is 5 bucks but the table saw is 200, then mitre saw another 100 and special glue 😳
😂
Home Depot does all the cuts, use random nails/screws in junk drawer and some wood glue, let your kid paint them. Simple and cheap!
