Hello for everyone who is skeptical about the strength of the this type of fence its stronger than you think. My personal fence at home is built similar and still standing strong after 7 years no issues. Would a pole with concrete feel stronger? Yes it would but that doesn't mean this type of fence wont work this fence is designed for people on a BUDGET. To build a fence with poles concreted the traditional way, you will spend at least 3 times as much money/time after labor and materials. I have built plenty of fences with and without concrete and they are all still standing any who doubts me is welcome to come see this exact fence in the video located in Casper WY which has brutal winters and high wind and see that it has absolutely no issues. That being said if you have no budget restrictions then a tradition fence with concrete might make more sense for you.
What a lot of people don't realize is that poles with concrete bases are more prone to shifting over time in colder climates. That is why so many installations are moving to crush gravel under the post and dirt to keep it secure. Less prone to moving. I don't see anything wrong with the structure of what you have done here. Maybe not pleasing to the eye for people who want a pure wood fence, but this will work.
Can I use a hammer to hit the pole under the ground will it work putting a piece of wood and hitting it so that it can go down in case the land is so hard
Can you do this on a 6' large privacy fence? The fence I would want to do would be about 70'x70'x70'?
@@zoilapena5403 sure will
@@dante19x your post should be in the ground 1/3 of the height of your fence. I bet it would be strong but I would use 3" posts
He needs to be RUclips's Spokesman. What a to the point, but interesting, step by step, without all the bird watching, the neighbor's dog visiting, etc. Great tutorial video!!
😂🤣😂
So many nasty comments but this is straight forward and to the point. Good video in my book and a good end result for not much money.
thank u
Just one question...
How come you didn't ask him if he called his local free service to look for. power... Phone... Natural gas... Water... cables... Fiber-optic... liquid gas lines... Oil lines... ETC... ETC.. ETC..
@@rkb6783 The real question is why would you assume he didn't. I know what is under my property, I didn't come to this video to find that out. If you're doing this work for a customer you should already know this stuff not learning it from a RUclips video.
Nice video! Definitely cap the metal posts if u live where it rains. Water goes inside post and eventually loosens dirt away at bottom causing a loose post and weakened structure. I learned this the hard way myself so I would always recommend caps to keep water out of metal posts. Fence looks great and I'm going with your idea when I build my own! Thank u!!!!
This is the best fence to do if you're a renter.. you can take it with you when you move and no lasting damage to the yard..
Okay, what a comment this is! I am renting a house next month and would like to have a fence for my dogs. This just solidifies the idea being worth it.
@@cafone3115 Just make sure you ok it with your landlord.
@@robcharuk2351 Really? I don't see the problem with thinking ahead
Rob Charuk Yes, what trash. Just add value to property that isn’t yours like real winners do!🙄
@@Me-mb1ex As an owner who may be renting out my house soon, I have to agree with you. The "logic" of some people is truly mind numbing.
My friend
I think you just saved me A LOT of time and money
THANK YOU!!!!!
EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I had an idea along these lines but wasn't sure how to go about it for sure. Thanks for this vid!
Looking to put a fence in the backyard & just happen to come across this video..... this is such a great idea, no digging, no concrete!!!
Thanks for sharing.
the metal post and the metal hardware cost little more than 4x4 treated lumber and cement, but no digging saves on labor.
and they last longer. and you can pull it out and move it, if needed.
also, when the 4x4 eventually rot away and need to be replaced, it is extremely difficult to get that cement block out of ground.
But does the post have a pointed bottom
This Is a great idea! About to have to build a fence at a house I’m moving into. I’m 52 and was Not looking forward to digging fence post holes. I’m gonna try this. Thanks for the video and idea!
@@jostacy7196: Its been 5 months since you posted. How did it work out?
One of the best straight forward video ive seen on here without the excessive/overly excited "RUclipsR MONOLOGUE"
This seems to be straight forward, straight to the point fencing job. That I can definitely appreciate. A lot of pipe went into the ground so the strength in going to be there. This is like digging a hole and backfilling with dirt but without digging the hole.
Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video.
thanks for watching
Don’t judge.Who cares about the looks of the house or yard.You don’t live there.Good looking fence!!
I care. That is one shitty looking house.
mac daddy that’s so rude and mean. What if the home owners see this? You’re probably hideous and I’m sure ppl would love to tell you that. But I’m sure they don’t because of class. Maybe something you should get
I used to do fencing many decades ago (LOL) and I always used concrete,, well they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but that just did!! Congrats!!!
Ed Smith concrete is was and always will be the best. A neighbor had a 100" section of fence put in and got the lowest bidder to do the work. No concrete. The fence looks like a long S now
@@philipdistefano9096 all that says is he did a bad job. Nothing to do with not using concrete.
My son and I just finished our fence using this method (09-19-2020) and it turned out wonderful THANKS!
Awesome
Is it still fine?
Very well done 👍🏻 You are a good Workman - no fuss, over talking or drama. GBU with lots of work 🙏🏻
Excellent instructional video! Right to the point, step by step and no wasted fluff. Time to check out the rest of your videos. Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks man. Cant wait to put up my fence. Simply and quick. Thanks for sharing.
RUclips is the best! Another great video! Thanks for sharing this! This technique will be life saving for a lot of folks. 👍👍👍
I’ve built lots of fences with the 4x4 post and I never use concrete, just drop them in at least 3ft. I love the ideal of metal post because the wood you get these days is garbage. Great video man!
so you only leave 5 feet of post above ground?? how does that work on the most popular fence size of 6 feet???
@@oldmanwandering6111 8 feet post, 10 feet. There are numerous lengths available. I used the 8' ones for my 6' fence
@@bryanalldaffer9541 You'd need a ladder to get high enough to drive the posts in. Unless you use a hole digger to get down a couple feet, maybe finish with a post driver.
I need to build a 4’ gated enclosure around my pool ladder to pass for county inspection. This is going to be the easiest way to get around this without having to buy a whole new gated ladder. Thanks man!
What the heck, this is RUclips gold and definitely the way I may build my fence. Thank you for this.
One of the best tutorials I've seen on RUclips. Thanks!
Wow gotta show the video to my hubby, it would be so easy for him to put up a fence. Thanks
This was a very to the point and informative instruction video, thanks for making it.
Really brilliant! And it can be a job due to a variety of usages and situations! Thank you! I wish you and all who be this the very best!
Been using this method for years and never had a problem. Posts are plumb, beams are level.
This will be great to attach to a chainlink fence that’s already up & posts Are Already in the ground 👏 I’m doing this 👍🏽 Thanks!!!!!!!!
💯
Great video. I have an area in my yard that I want to fence off and this video nailed it. 👍
They make different size metal "plugs" that fit inside the post and then they are a full size larger than the pipe, similar to a flat top mushroom. This will prevent damage to the fence post when you are driving it into the ground. I have a 45 pound 2 cycle fence post driver and I always use the plug for each post. Then you do not have to go back and cut the damage off later. BTW great video. I understand you are showing us the economical way to do it. Thanks. Be safe.
Thank you.
Man that is pretty ingenious, you just saved me a ton of money and time!
Thank you sir,Neat and Strong. Great job . step by step . I will give this a try.
This is an awesome and quick way to do it, especially neighborhoods where looks and quality dont matter too much or at all. Thank you!!
How. Rude
I have to redo my fence and I wasn’t sure how to go about it, but I think this may be the solution. Thanks for the vid!
Outstanding brother great idea I am about to do small fencing area and economically this is the best Idea for my project thanks.
Wow, awesome! I bought a couple of panels to go around my hot tub. I have horrible forearm tendonitis and can't dig. This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you so very much for sharing this video! Truly appreciated and timely!
your welcome
I think its a great idea for a fence on a budget or maybe not on a budget. Not everyone has access to post hold diggers. Its easy enough to cover up the fence post too.
Great video.
thanks
Really cool video, broke it down for anyone to understand. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Very easy and simple.
your welcome. thanks for watching
I think this what I'm gunna do , I jhave lots of rock in my yard as well, hopefully I can get thru it ty
Nice simple work, ole buddy .... looks good
Thank you for this. Awesome detail, easy to follow..👍🙌💯🙏
You. Are. Awesome. Thank you for sharing this and you're a great teacher
Thank you
thanks for the tips going to redo the fence on our home we purchased but will moving is very expensive. So the fence needs to be on a budget & safe for the little ones
I need to put up a 6 foot privacy fence in the front yard, this is my answer. Thank you!
Did you end up using this method for a 6’ fence? Want to do the same and I’m curious how longer posts worked out.
@@anothersoulx1 , no I didn't. I wound up just making the fence myself, 1 board at a time. I have hurt shoulders, and carrying a large section like that turned out to be a deal killer. The fence turned out great, regardless! It kept the next door neighbor guys from hanging out in the driveway of my flip house, which sold for a nice profit. Good fences make for better neighbors!
Yesssss!! I want privacy around my fire pit so I can moonbath naked. I kept having visions of ideas and one was for steel posts, and 3 floating wood panels creating a triangle. I have to be able to do it all my myself because my partner works 50+ hours a week.
You and your video have literally brought my vision to a real possibility. And like another commenter mentioned it can be removed if the next people hate it.
Thank you so much!! I will post a video of my process and mention you. 🙏🏻❤
Thank you for sharing , it is what I was looking for, my dogs and the neighbors dogs privacy .😅
Great video! Thank you for ask the info and tips
Freaking awesome man, i might do this method on an old fence. I might not even pull out the old posts just remove the chicken wire and attach panels.
Amazing how we can just pick up ideas through youtube. I did my entire yard using the same design but with a chain-link fence.
Hi that’s what I’m gonna do 👋🙂 Did yours turn out nice?!?
The caps are for more than just looks. They keep the rain which is very important if you live in a colder area that freezes!
NoMerc Also keeps wasps from building nests inside the pipes.
i get -20 on regular. never had an issue without caps.
Cool video. I've never thought of doing it this way.
What was the wood strips for?
Omg thank you for this needed something strong but on budget but also removable in case I need to
Your welcome
I love it!
going to build my first fence.
I would like to see how you would do corners and a gate.
Otherwise neat idea !
Nice, great idea. Won't work where I live though in arizona way too many rocks in the dirt but I love this video thanks
The caps aren't just for looks! It's so rain water doesn't just sit in the post when there's concrete filling the hole. Mosquitoes will breed there and it will cause your post to lean.
I want to thank you so much for this video! I went out and bought everything at menards yesterday, coincidently. I just had a very crazy neighbor moved in next door so I thought a fence would be a good idea! I ran across your video today and I'm headed out to start on it now. Thank you for your simple instructions. I will update and let you know how it turned out.
your welcome hope everything goes well
KIM KAUFMAN 3 weeks later. Guess it didn't work out lol
Update?
*Update:*
Kim was crushed to death this past winter when the ground froze and thawed enough to break the post’s free and it fell on her.
how would you do a corner?
Hey man, you did a great job here. I like this option. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Thank you for great video. My sister has wanted this exact fence and I just didn't know how to do it until I watched this video.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Matt
How did it turn out?
Excellent job man
Awesome. Thanks for this video!
Very practical! Excellent video
Great job and easy explanation.
GREAT tutorial!! Only complaint would be to add links to where to purchase in the description. Thanks a ton!
Home depot, Lowe's to purchase everything you need.
Definitely a good option for a low income, must have fence installation.
i aggree, i was thinking a good name for this would be ghetto fencing. lol
Very good job! Great video!
Oh man! I wish I could do this, but I am one of the unfortunate who has more rock than dirt. Lol. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the informative video!
Kool video thanks for sharing
Absolutely brilliant 👍
Excellent tutorial! Thank you, new subscriber here.
Damn RUclips...i wasn't searching for this..lol good tutorial..
This is an amazing idea thank you!!!
I have been stressing about fixing our fence! thanks for the great advice. I'll let you know how it goes.

Great vid brother !
Great vid dude!
Holy cow was I overcomplicating things, thank you very much!
Great video 👍👍👍
Awesome job 👍👍
That's so cool going to try it
Anytime I've had old fencing that don't have the caps on I've had problems with wasps making nests in them. I would definitely cap them.
@me Me
A cap is like 50 cents and is permanent
Thank you for this video!
EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank you for this method,im hoping to land a job soon and with this fence build it will be affordable 💵
your welcome
Great video.
That's a great idea....thanks.
Very efficient...kudos
Love this video !
Great video! Cement shrinks in the ground and causes rotted posts
This is by far the best ventriloquist I’ve ever seen! 🤣🤪
Nice looking fence.
this video is a godsend for me.
I think caps would make a huge positive difference. Nice video!
Great job!
I poured a little bit of dry crete mix in when i was done..tamped it down around the post and let mother nature harden it up. Solid as a rock.
NICE!
That's a great way to do that
Nice 😍 I didn't even know they existed
Great job
Great info...
Nice dude, I am going to try this, and maybe back for more vids, thanks! Any ideas for a cheap fast way to make a privacy addition on top of these premade panels?...I want 6 ft privacy, thanks again!
