This is hands down my favorite fence diy I’ve seen so far. paid $7k 2 years ago for fences at 2 properties. Will be trying this at our next! Looks SO much better than vertical shadow box.
im a bit of an over thinker so seeing how casual you made this look and how off the cuff you seemed to be with this construction it put my mind at ease with my fence project so thanks
Really appreciate that. The reason I keep them short and sweet is because I watch so many DIY videos that make me want to stomp my phone with all the nonsense and bad editing LOL mine aren't perfect but at least I'm not waisting time
Glad you put primer on the base of the posts. Amazing how much wood deteriorates without some form of protection. At some point you'll get a crazy rain storm and everything will saturate.
Hello I’m sorry I didn’t wAnt to say this but I must say many photos stole your and make fake accounts doing fraud scam why didn’t you do action for them on TikTok on instagram you know it or you didn’t know nothing please do something 🙏
Arizona here as well. I’m on the golf course and I need to separate my side patio so once in a while, I can be in the backyard without golfer, staring at me. Love this design and aesthetic. I think my only change will be HOA friendly color for my house and instead of landscaping fabric between, I’m just gonna offset/stagger/overlap the horizontal slats on either side so you can’t peer through. I’ll space the posts at 5 feet. If I get sagging overtime,I’ll use fasteners with torx heads so it’s easier to replace. 🤙
@@enzprintco.8625 that’s awesome dude. My experience(especially with their 23 gauge nailers) has been overwhelmingly negative, so his comment made me chuckle. I’m glad to know not everyone has my luck.
Hey brother. I followed your video and used everything you used as I loved yours. Same exact everything even Cabot oils! I messaged you on instagram pictures !
Really nice. You are "lucky" that it doesn't rain too much. By us in Czech Republic, though dry climate nowadays too, it would not last long. I would put steel in ground and fence needed to be vertical to protect it from rain.
Pretty sure I'll go with this design, it's awesome and THANK YOU for this how-to!! I like the modern look, it's not boring like so many vertical fences. What size trim piece did you use, and is it pine also? Thanks!!!
in the wet weather climates, instead of the cloth material, you could use 1/4inch "Hardware Cloth" Black Vinyl Coated Chicken Wire Fence. it is Galvanized Welded Mesh Roll for Home Garden and comes in 24" x 50' rolls for about $35. it is obviously a little added cost, but the life-span far exceeds a Ryobi tool any day!
Hey dude just want to wish you guys have a happy Fourth of July!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I absolutely love you videos and think that they always come out sick! Keep up the great work and know that you're loved. God bless you and your family!
Dan, great video. I live in Florida wet climate. What wood do you recommend for rail, reveals and posts? Also, what would you recommend to replace the landscaping material! Love your channel keep it up.
Nothing just will be way easier without having to dig and pour concrete. Watch videos on driving into concrete, go slow with the screws or they’ll hollow out, or if you’re using anchors, make sure you use the right size bit for the anchors
I want to make a free standing privacy fence for my balcony. The fence will be 36” wide. Do you think using a 2x12 lumber laying flat as base is sturdy enough? The 2x12 base will span full width of the panel. Both end post will be screwed to the same base. I will make sure there is no room for the base to move. I will also zip tie or metal strap the end post to the balcony railings.
That would of saved time, money and most likely done the task. I was afraid of you still being able to see into the other side but I think it wouldn’t have been an issue. If I get 2yrs out of the fabric I’ll be happy, we’ll see!!
Rip one board in 1/2 length wise and stager the boards on one side…paint the backsides of all the boards black, so you can’t see through and never have to deal with the landscaping fabric in the future. That way you could widen the gap and use less wood(like only 2 boards less) but it would let more wind pass through if you get lots of wind.
I live in UK and I've been thinking of doing the same but worried about the fabric gets ruined after a year or so. What about plastic sheet, wouldn't it last longer?
I like the look. Good job. However, only putting primer paint on the portion of the post that goes in the ground, does not help much at all. I imagine that maybe those posts will last pretty long in AZ. I have lived in NY, NC and Florida, those post would rot in the ground in three years. A better way to treat the in-ground posts is the old farmers way. There are a couple different processes they use and its reported those post last twenty-plus years. You can youtube search for “farmers wood fence post treatment”. One process is soaking the bottom portion of posts in a container of diesel oil and gas combo for a day of two. Some say just used motor oil. Check it out, if you are doing a fence soon.
Yes, the diesel and motor oil mixture is an old trick that was used on pretty much all farms. Also they stained all the fences with it as well. If want something different than that for the bottom of posts, use a roof coating like Gaco or an off brand. Any roofing supply will have it, silicon based and made to last 20 years on a roof surface so will be more than good for a post.
The landscaping fabric will likely last for quite some time. The staples will give out first, though, as they don't last long at all when exposed to water. So it will sag and droop before it's actually truly unusable. Trying to think what would be more permanent without being expensive, but you might have thought up the best CHEAP short-term solution.
@@danrockwell1883 Well, it looks great, and I bet you get quite some good years out of the fabric, either way. If you put up another one, you can get yourself some stainless staples for it (marine or upholstery ones are available in standard sizes) and then you'll really have an edge. Looks beautiful, and a great stain color, too! 👍
I've heard in AZ you can build 6-foot fencing around the sides and back. Only 3 feet in the front. Is it possible to get around that or is that even true? Or does it depend on the city thank you!!
You should have just used a 2x6 between the posts. Use 2x6 hanger. Then it would be the same look. Less warping. I used copper brown on the part of post that was burried. All u need is a small brick instead of gravel.
use stainless screws/nails. They sell plastic shells to put around the bottom that heat shrinks on, then put into the ground. Seal all the boards/posts before you build the fence, not after. Then recoat annually or more. Horizontal fences posts should not be more than 6' apart. For 6" horizontal, 5'. Smaller boards can go 6'.
@@danrockwell1883 stainless, ring shank, glue dipped, collated nails for a nail gun about $110 for 2500 nails. Not expensive. The stainless doesn't react with the wood chemical treatment, don't rust out, and won't react with the stain, etc. For the price for the benefits, it's def. worth it. I said seal them before, NOT after. This makes sure that every board is completely sealed at least once, and you can do it in a controlled environment. Obviously when recoating, you can't get everything, but once coated the 1rst time, it will def. help resist rot, etc. even though water will get in between the joints.
Instead of using the screening for privacy, an neighbour side A, on the top horizontal panel, cut it the with of your gap narrower than the rest, so that they stagger with neighbour B; the breeze goes thru but you still have privacy.
Just water, wheelbarrow, and some elbow grease haha can’t get simpler than that. Some guys do it in a buck with a paddle mixer but you’ll need more concrete than that

Why you didn’t any reply
The fabric inside is a creative touch.❤
Great job. I bet people complain about whatever but I have all different colors of cordless tools and all my Ryobi tools still work GREAT 👍 ❤😊
The sconce lighting you failed to discuss was my greatest takeaway. Looks really sharp. I'll figure it out.
Probably solar powered
"Its gonna rot faster than a RYOBI tool breaking!" (Board too close to the ground) 🤣WORD!
Beautiful work!
So excited--We are following your template & building ours now..... 💁♀️if only my husband could follow your MUSCLES 💪 template! 😂

Looks great, for 2 properties, could have staggered the boards instead of the fabric. I am going to do this for my hot tub.
major thumbs up for showing type of screws used. and hardware in general

How would this design work with bolting a baseplate into asphalt and fixing the post in as opposed to digging 2 ft deep?
Nothing just will be way easier without having to dig and pour concrete. Watch videos on driving into concrete, go slow with the screws or they’ll hollow out, or if you’re using anchors, make sure you use the right size bit for the anchors
hey man. was doing good ole reseaech for a fence like this and love what you did. how many 1x6s did ypu buy?

Cabot is my favorite. Haven't seen much of it here since I moved from WA to CA😢😢
Are the supporting 2x4s in the ground or just sit on the ground and held up by the horizontal boards?
Not in ground
Well on is one the concrete because it’s easy to secure like that but on top of ground no
D.R.......good job very generous thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it!
Yeah I think I’m gonna make my own house instead of buying 🤔you inspire me 😁💙
Would you install rails on the other side if you didn’t attach it to a block wall?
Id just do a regular 4x4 3ft deep
What size was the trim pieces did you say 2x4 the ones that go over the 4x4 and want brand has iron ore or do I just tell them that color
Sherwin williams and the black trim is like a 1x2
Thanks for that I was getting ready to order 2x4 the fence is amazing I hope mine turns out as nice
Nice job . Elegant for privacy
Thank you!
Yeah looks good
Epic commentary
Thank you
How is the landscaping fabric holding up. Great job looks really good
So far so good, been almost a year
😊 I'm one of ur biggest fans ❤
Awesome video - thanks!
Glad you liked it!
A good suggestion Woolf have been to off set 2 side so that they cover each others gap. This would be called a shadow box fence
That would of saved time, money and most likely done the task. I was afraid of you still being able to see into the other side but I think it wouldn’t have been an issue. If I get 2yrs out of the fabric I’ll be happy, we’ll see!!
Ya ya

Around how much was the cost?

Thank you
"Easy, fun, and cheap...like how I like my women"
I feels that ...
🤣
I have Ryobi tools that I have used regularly for 20 years. I’m still waiting for them to break.
Just a joke, they’re actually made my duwalt I think
It did make some people laugh.
I have some Rigid tool attachments that fit Ryobi.
I live in UK and I've been thinking of doing the same but worried about the fabric gets ruined after a year or so. What about plastic sheet, wouldn't it last longer?
Are you able to share what the cost for this was roughly?
Subscribing to see more of you 💩 on Ryobi. Definitely got a good laugh watching this.
😂 In their defense I have an amazing ryobi miter saw
For wetlands like Florida and Houston we should be able to use a black Plastic Liner if you so wish to have privacy. Amazing video man 👍🏼
Nice! And thank you!
@@danrockwell1883hi how are you.

Your fence should be 3feet towards your property so you have the legal right to work on your fence on his side SOTHING A FEW HAVE THE gots TO DO.

sorry I'm not getting your questions
Great SHOT at ryobi!!! Too bad you were at that store though. They SUCK!!! Great video, man.
The depth is based on your frost line. Here in iowa we need to go down to 4ft.
Here in Phoenix we don’t have that problem. I grew up in NY though, so I know how that goes haha
You should have just used a 2x6 between the posts. Use 2x6 hanger. Then it would be the same look. Less warping. I used copper brown on the part of post that was burried. All u need is a small brick instead of gravel.

Yep the best part of the video was the cement mixing! lol
What do you connect the 2x4 brace too? Or does it just float off the ground onto the panels ?

Then recoat annually or more. Horizontal fences posts should not be more than 6' apart. For 6" horizontal, 5'. Smaller boards can go 6'.

Is the landscaping fabric covered on both sides
