Have to say out of all the RUclips DIYers you top the list in effort and the quality of the end product I'm a joiner by trade and been doing it for 25 years and you astound me at what you attempt and I take my hat of to you as you would hold your own on any building site also really enjoy all your videos and the fact your doing all this while being a great dad is fantastic All the very best darrall
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have an old concrete block wall and had the idea of cladding with a fence. I was simply going to row my fencing vertically, but after watching your video, I will definitely be doing them horizontally! I've watched a few of your videos now, and you've definitely gained a new subscriber in me! Thanks for the great, informative, but relaxed content.
Love your T shirt as I live in Galway (The city of Tribes) Ireland, hope it's from a visit to our emerald isle. I also love woodwork projects so an enjoyable video all round, lovely finish.
This inspired me to build my own fence with no experience at all - I took this style and used gravel boards onto posts rather than cladding a wall. Looks ace! Was worried it would be too heavy but it was fine. Thanks for great vids
Just came across your video whilst looking at methods on covering walls with wood (got a silly short wall with lots of rocks jutting in and out). Love your approach and your personal touches. Subscribed and will watch a few more. Wish my wall was block....Going to be LOTS of packing.
Great video. I’ve noticed that wall in your videos for ages and wondered why you hadn’t touched it, and assumed we’d eventually find out why. It’s looking really elegant now with the boards, and you’ve given me more ideas for one of my boundary fences. Thanks.
I really liked your video on this project .you took you time explaining different thoughts you had about the way you were doing this style of project . The information was excellent .Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of having all the equipment like you have ..But I'm sure I will manage .. I'm looking forward to seeing other project's you video
Looks Great well 👌 I put Normal Garden panel Fences up to cover the wall as the wall droped in places it looked dreadful. Made a big difference but that looks much better.👍☘
Good job mate looking much better. I chose the harder route lol i used tuns of old pallets and it actually turned out okay as the are all reclaimed wood it gives it that rustic effect
I love your videos and have learned so much. I've got to say l loved the classic toddler counting. It made me laugh out loud 🤣 This cladding is such a great idea and one l think l will adopt for my garden wall. Keep up the good work.
Just what I need to cover my neighbours block wall.. I had been thinking of rendering but I 'much' prefer the look you created and I think it more natural...
I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast this morning. Sitting back watching someone else do the work. Delighful counting lessons and cuddly chooks. A great way to start the day Tim. Cheers for the giggles. 🤪👍
Nice job. Look forward to the willow project. I grow several types of basket willow in my garden and have done some small living willow projects with it but I mainly grow it for the winter interest with the brightly coloured stems.
Tim that looks ace! I have an old brick wall in my garden like that , standing around 5ft high and 5 meters long which would benefit from this if it hadn’t broke its back at foundation level.... unfortunately it has to come down when our little one (due in May) starts walking as it’s dangerous. But who knows maybe I’ll build it back in blocks and clad it the same. Looks fantastic! And totally transforms the look of that area! 👌👍
Thinking of doing this, to one section of wall for patio but thinking of using screws. lap boards, can be removed to insert patio lights along the run?
Fantastic Job! Got a similar job ahead of me but the wall is the same height all the way along. It’s about 1.4 m tall to cover and a long 30 m long 😢 😂 Retaining wall so plaster all blew off it and plasterer said it will just happen again as it’s full of damp with soil behind it
Looks fantastic and looks as though it will link old to new very well. Look forward to the willow weaving. Top effort from all as I suspect the support staff in the background are pivotal to the finished article 😀.
What sort of coping do you have on the breeze block? I'm cladding an old wall breeze block wall and the coping had a big overlap and has come loose. Wondering if I can just leave the cement there or does it need something.
Tim. I did the oak sleepers to rave reviews and now I am will clad a similar wall. You used softwood treated or gravel boards? Huge fan of the channel and your amazing skills
Good stuff. I did some vertical panelling with treated timber recently but I've had to redo it a few months later due to shrinkage! Not thin panels either. Quite disappointed with the hassle but it's looking good
looks great. i have been looking around, as i have a horrid wall, only 5 metres length, 1 metre high. but want more privacy also. wasnt sure to knock it down, paint it, render it etc. i wanted the horizontal wood.. so your video is great timing. hopefully i can batten mine to 6foot and find wood as cheap as you did from somewhere :)
Hi, quick question.. You mentioned the pressure treated wooden boards were 100mm & 150mm in width, what was the depth & length - 25mm & 3m? Also what dimension batons did you use to fix to? Thanks in advance for the answers.
You remind me so much of myself!!! Limited time issues...The swimming lessons were calling! Lol. Anyway, great video, gave me inspiration to crack on with a project that has been ongoing for....um.....10 years!!!😵
Good job. Great improvement obviously. Maybe overkill but could have run a strip of dpc behind each vertical batton to stop any damp from the old block wall. Definitely would have run low voltage cables for embedded led lighting switched from the house too...
Question, we have a similar wall between me and the neighbour but its is maybe 3ft could we do this and then extend it further up than the 3ft to maybe 6ft? Or would it not be sturdy enough as the wall wont be present? I'm thinking it could be cheaper than panels?
Im gona batten my extension to insulate. I was considering going straight through with concrete screws. Would you recommend these for thermalite blocks ? You daughter is mega cute and looks loads of fun mate
Please can you tell me what type of wood you used for brackets and wood paneling? A link to the materials would be brilliant. Thanks for a great video - I watched it a while ago and keep thinking I want to do it to cover up our scruffy looking back yard walls.

What nail gun is that please ?
Jade Edge hikoki, should be linked in description. 👍
Sorry may have missed it, but why did you use different nail guns. What were their uses please?
The Restoration Couple thank you ☺️
what size drill bit did you use?

All the very best darrall
Sorry for the lack of punctuation and bad spelling
Fantastic work, I have been looking at the ugliest wall ever and now I have inspiration!! Great DIY tips in this.
Love that you show what it's like to work on projects with a little one. Good Dad! Nice work on the project too!
Hiya, i am based in Galway and will emulate your approach. Thanks 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lived there a short time and have family over there. 👍 🇮🇪

You are a damn genius! I’ve been looking for ways to cover up my wall. This is by far the best idea yet! Thank you.
Nice job......and the beauty is that this can also be used as an indoor cladding idea.
Great video. I’ve noticed that wall in your videos for ages and wondered why you hadn’t touched it, and assumed we’d eventually find out why. It’s looking really elegant now with the boards, and you’ve given me more ideas for one of my boundary fences. Thanks.
Hi what type of timber did you use and where did you source from for the price? I have a similar project I and think it looks great
Thank you so much for your detailed video! My brother and I cladded my backyard. It came out absolutely stunning!! I will email you pictures.
I really liked your video on this project .you took you time explaining different thoughts you had about the way you were doing this style of project .

Such a great idea! I have a long garden wall with render falling off, this maybe the answer as it falls within my abilities. Good work 👍
I think this is a brilliant solution to this challenging wall... well done. Thanks for videos.
I'm sure someone else has said this in a past video, but your sweater game is on point.
Looks Great well 👌 I put Normal Garden panel Fences up to cover the wall as the wall droped in places it looked dreadful. Made a big difference but that looks much better.👍☘
Good job mate looking much better. I chose the harder route lol i used tuns of old pallets and it actually turned out okay as the are all reclaimed wood it gives it that rustic effect
You should have way more subscribers than you currently have. Great job
The daffodils are in bloom, the sun is shining, I can count to 9, spring has come to the UK.
I love the family aspect of your videos, DIY with kids really is a challenge.
I love your videos and have learned so much.
I've got to say l loved the classic toddler counting. It made me laugh out loud 🤣
This cladding is such a great idea and one l think l will adopt for my garden wall.
Keep up the good work.
I did this at my old house. I painted the wall first will black masonry paint to ensure you cant see it. Nice job.
Looks great! So much better than the concrete.
Just what I need to cover my neighbours block wall.. I had been thinking of rendering but I 'much' prefer the look you created and I think it more natural...
I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast this morning. Sitting back watching someone else do the work.
Delighful counting lessons and cuddly chooks. A great way to start the day Tim. Cheers for the giggles. 🤪👍
I'm doing this project as I type after watching your video few months ago! Thanks so much for the inspiration
Amazing! Exactly what I was thinking of doing with gravel boards and battening. Your video has convinced me it's definitely the way to go 👍
brilliant stuff! Just went more into depth with all the details i didnt know. Doing a project just like this myself - with your help. Cheers mate!
Really loved the idea and the end result! Good decision on keeping screws / nails discreet, and loved the counting by your team mate! 😂
Fits perfect with an old house. Looking good.
Terrific and simple. Cost effective. It looks nice and you should get great wear out of it as well.
Great vid bud. I get a lot of inspiration from your tenacious approach to doing things correctly
another great video. the end result is amazing. i could watch your videos all day long.
First of your videos that I've watched. Really good job and relatively cheap for the overall look - and it's a massive improvement. Top job
New to all this but keen to have a go, what would is it you have used….it looks great what you have done….cheers
Hi. Great video. Can you say if the weight of the timber could possibly bring down the wall say in high winds?
Nice job. Look forward to the willow project. I grow several types of basket willow in my garden and have done some small living willow projects with it but I mainly grow it for the winter interest with the brightly coloured stems.
That looks so more inviting than a rendered wall .Great job .When You have 5 mins come and help me on my project lol.
I found this very therapeutic to watch maybe because being 75 cannot do things the same as I used to. Regards Fred
Brilliant idea and it looks great. Your little girl is super cute, loved the counting lol
Tim that looks ace! I have an old brick wall in my garden like that , standing around 5ft high and 5 meters long which would benefit from this if it hadn’t broke its back at foundation level.... unfortunately it has to come down when our little one (due in May) starts walking as it’s dangerous.

That's a very smart looking fence. HUGE improvement on what you had before!
Fantastic Job! Got a similar job ahead of me but the wall is the same height all the way along. It’s about 1.4 m tall to cover and a long 30 m long 😢 😂
Retaining wall so plaster all blew off it and plasterer said it will just happen again as it’s full of damp with soil behind it
Impeccable timing and amazing. Once the patio is finished this is my next job. Awesome and thanks.
Thanks for the idea! Video of a similar transformation just posted on my channel but with concrete rendering removed too
First Time I have watched your channel and glad I did. Really enjoyed watching and have given me an idea for my wall.
Thanks for sharing.
Looks fantastic and looks as though it will link old to new very well. Look forward to the willow weaving. Top effort from all as I suspect the support staff in the background are pivotal to the finished article 😀.
Very attractive, think this is a perfect solution for a fence around our property.
Excellent work really impressed thanks
Nice job! That chook really likes you!
What sort of coping do you have on the breeze block? I'm cladding an old wall breeze block wall and the coping had a big overlap and has come loose. Wondering if I can just leave the cement there or does it need something.
Good job! Glad it’s not just me that over thinks every job! I’m glad u stuck with the nails and made them inline 👍🏼
Tim. I did the oak sleepers to rave reviews and now I am will clad a similar wall. You used softwood treated or gravel boards?
Huge fan of the channel and your amazing skills
Brilliant. Given me an idea and confidence to have a go myself. Thank you. 👍
Great, I am going to do almost the same at my house's wall. This video really helps me.
Looks great, Plus you had your helper out there as well.
2:02 please would you be kind d enough to tell me what size screw and drill bit you're using??
Good stuff. I did some vertical panelling with treated timber recently but I've had to redo it a few months later due to shrinkage! Not thin panels either. Quite disappointed with the hassle but it's looking good
Looks lovely. You’re clearly bright, as well as good with your hands.
Mattock Picks are awesome tools, makes digging heavy clay so much easier.
Luv this idea, i am going to do this now to my block shed
looks great. i have been looking around, as i have a horrid wall, only 5 metres length, 1 metre high. but want more privacy also. wasnt sure to knock it down, paint it, render it etc. i wanted the horizontal wood.. so your video is great timing. hopefully i can batten mine to 6foot and find wood as cheap as you did from somewhere :)
Perhaps just use fencing rails or treated 3x2 for the uprights. Should give plenty of strength for the extended section. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple yea, was looking at maybe some sort of metal rod/post.. fun yet frustrating all this diy at times :)
Great video! love the modern look to the wall that it now gives 👍🏻. very informative keep up the good work guys
up Galway 16:30,watching on a beautiful spring evening in the capital of the west of Ireland
Excellent! Look forward to your videos every week so l was delighted to see it was 23.39m long! Thanks
It was a long one but thought better than splitting it up. 👍
Nice one Tim 👍it looks stunning
ماشاء الله شرحة ممتاز شكلة متابعينك من السعودية 🇸🇦
Were those boards 1x6 and 1x4 Treated rough cut? to get the sawblade texture?
Hi, quick question..
You mentioned the pressure treated wooden boards were 100mm & 150mm in width, what was the depth & length - 25mm & 3m?
Also what dimension batons did you use to fix to? Thanks in advance for the answers.
Yes 22-25mm thickness and lengths were a mixture of 3-4.8m. Batten 50x35mm. It’s all just standard fencing timber. Video out this week with more info.
You remind me so much of myself!!! Limited time issues...The swimming lessons were calling! Lol. Anyway, great video, gave me inspiration to crack on with a project that has been ongoing for....um.....10 years!!!😵
Very nice! Gave me the right idea for a privacy fence. 😊
Good job. Great improvement obviously. Maybe overkill but could have run a strip of dpc behind each vertical batton to stop any damp from the old block wall. Definitely would have run low voltage cables for embedded led lighting switched from the house too...
That was my after thought, plus running a hose/mdpe begind for garden tap. Should still be able to sneak the wiring away in there somehow. 👍
Love it! When drilling holes in the concrete for the battons, did you put any raw plugs or just screw the concrete screws directly into the block?
No concrete screws go straight into a 6mm hole.
Looks absolutely fantastic 👍👍 loved the video and tips
Great Work. Looks very clean and kept simple!
Great video thanks. You mentioned capping off the top of the fence to block light and rain. How did you do that please? Thinking of giving this a go.
Where did you get the timber and what sizes did you use??? It's lovely we have same wall type so we want to do the cladding too. Great job it's class
11:23 are they all like this? Damn i thought i was alone in predicting this sort of thing.
That looks really nice. You've given me a few ideas for our dividing wall.
Like it good tips will be doing a smaller version thanks
well done mate nice job love your videos keep up the good work
Question, we have a similar wall between me and the neighbour but its is maybe 3ft could we do this and then extend it further up than the 3ft to maybe 6ft? Or would it not be sturdy enough as the wall wont be present? I'm thinking it could be cheaper than panels?
nice one tim looks miles better then ugly wall enjoyed the video.
Awesome! what a great transformation. You mentioned the timber sizes however I didn't catch what type of timber you used for the cladding.
Really enjoyed the video thanks 🎸 what was that plastic work bench name please?
Just did this today, looks great 😁👍🏼
It looks so much better than the block wall
👍🏻🍻🍺👍🏻
Just about to do exactly the same thing on the end of my wood barn. Good video.
Im gona batten my extension to insulate. I was considering going straight through with concrete screws. Would you recommend these for thermalite blocks ? You daughter is mega cute and looks loads of fun mate
What boards did you use, and what treatment is needed for the boards. Looks great
Just treated softwood nothing additional yet. 👍
Simply done and looks fantastic. 👍
Please can you tell me what type of wood you used for brackets and wood paneling? A link to the materials would be brilliant. Thanks for a great video - I watched it a while ago and keep thinking I want to do it to cover up our scruffy looking back yard walls.
It’s looking good
It looks amazing 😻
Hi can you tell me which concrete screws you used ? Cheers
This is my Easter 🐣 Project 🛠 Great Work Well Done 👍
