I agree with you. I used to think cheap as chips is best, but After I moved to a new home and replaced the garden fences I bought from a local independent manufacturer who makes all of his fences and posts etc. on site. It’s literally what he does.They look much nicer colour for a start but 5 years later with looking after they still have a few years of wear left in them. I would never buy the mass produced ones again. Thank you for well demonstrated vid.
In the long run the cheap panels just arent economical. Especially now when timber prices are going up. Closeboard panels last longer and look better for longer. The lap panels turn paper thin, split and crack easily too. I would never buy them for my own fence. Thanks again Karen for your comment.
Man what happened to this guy. Found his videos by accident. Enjoyed watching them and checked the feed to see his been gone for a year. Hope your good where ever you are
Could you try this again please but this time: (1) Secure the table for both fences used, (2) And instead of placing the concrete on the middle, place it all around the fence including the supports as I noticed in the second try you just placed it on the supports and not the weaker parts ofthe fence . I know the results will be similar than this test but if you're going to do a test, then do it exactly the same for each fence, no disrespect meant at all.
One thing that has not been said is the difference in the wood used to make the panels I have a 6ft fence and the bottom of my garden and it is over twenty years old and it has never been painted but the panels seem to be made of a hard wood with narrow slats my side panels are 4ft tall and made of soft wood wide slats that warp and do not seem to last much more than ten years just an observation.

Check out his other channel: Mountain Rug Cleaning. He's focusing his work on rug cleaning now.
@@ClaraShinta thanks for the heads up. Never thought I'll watch rug cleaning videos but damn they are additive.

My guess for the close board panels are....
Dipped = 18 bags
Pressure treated = 22 bags
I dont think you're be far off with thoes estimations mate 👍
