How to Build a Fence from Start to Finish with Wire to keep Critters In or Out // DIY Fence Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- In this video I walk you guys through building a fence from start to finish. Everything from the fence layout for your posts, milling lumber for cross braces, and even building some traditional fence gates. This fence project also includes some welded wire, which is a bit like chain link fencing but much more attractive to keep that farm style look going and giving us some security while keeping our animals from escaping.

Im still shocked this hasn't hit a million views. What a solid break down.
i really appreciate you keeping the mistakes in and making the project real. this is almost exactly what i want to do for my fence, so thanks for the tutorial!
I really do appreciate you showing the imperfect processes of manhood and the building process. Looks great! Man is fence building and gate building a different animal!
Great job, truly appreciate a lot of the details you’ve explained in this video. I am a first time fence builder an am doing it on 2 acres. I am deep in the woods and fighting roots, but so far my posts are straight. All my progress is thanks to you.
I love that you kept the mistakes you made in the video. Keeping is real gives a novice such as myself a more realistic expectation. Great explanations, great camera work, and great job on that fence. Thanks so much!
It looks great!! Always surprised at how much work and precision goes into something that appears simple. I think those inflatable shims might be the perfect giftee for certain people I know!
What a great video! To the point, no rambling! Thanks so much for your tutorial. I am very happy I saw this video
You are very welcome my friend
Thank you for this. Great work. Will do this plan this weekend.
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for putting together such a high quality production.
BEST VIDEO EVER!.....I was soooo scared to put up a fence because I know NOTHING😁. Your visual aids helped out SOOOO MUCH! Thank you for being an EXCELLENT instructor ☺️
You are very welcome. And never be afraid. The worst that can happen is you mess it up and learn from it. Then you can fix it. You got this
Beautiful fence. Well done!
One of the best fencing videos I've seen here in RUclips (and I've been watching many, MANY, WAY TOO MANY of them!)
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Thanks so much victor
Awesome video very detailed and the gate that came out awesome great job thank you so much
I love your fence and am glad for all the tips and little tools that just will make it easier! Have to see if can afford this style, but I love the look of it for sure and that you don't have to do the whole stretching thing for the fence wire this way...that seems daunting lol thanks!
Hello my friend,
It's great to see you again. You created a beautiful fence. The pillars and door are perfect. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and happy. See you. Big greetings...
Thanks so much Sahane!! It did turn out great
Incredible instructional video. Enjoyed it Komar! I followed your steps, including renting the same auger, to be build a horizontal fence with a 1 inch spacing around my 1/2 acre property.. Like others said, this video should have more views. It's rare you click to the second page to find the content you need! This video should be front and center
Phenomenal video! Great instruction and great work!
Thank you so much
This was a great video and I really appreciate the links. Thanks
You’re amazing. It came out so beautiful. 😍
Thank you so much Lady
I got this notification last night on my phone was all excited to watch it with a nice cup o' coffee and once again, you didn't disappoint! That fence is awesome! Wish I had those corner levels when I did my fence!
Ya the post level is awesome. I use it on a lot of stuff
@@KomarProject looking forward to what you have done to the house. I see a couple things on IG but I love these videos you make.
Made them the same way, oh how many times I've done that, lol. Nice Job.
Amazing explanation. Thank you
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Man, you are putting in some serious work at the new property. Fence looks great!
Ya the honey do list just got bigger with this place lol
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing 👍.
Your very welcome Daniel !
I love the ash! And thank you for sharing history on how fences were built with hardwoods such as poplar. Makes sense as treated wasn’t a thing back then except whatever oil or chemical a farmer had on hand 👍🏼Have plenty of it locally and it’s cheap. One thing, I’m wanting to add in a shorter fence up front of my house so my dogs can actually enjoy the shade and spy on neighbors... I’d actually want hog wire (my Aussies are rough and tumble and slam into the current fence I have our back) for my fence because it’s thicker. I think I’ll inset my wire into the panels but I love the classic style you went with and it absolutely fits the area and your other fence. Very nice
Thanks so much Jewdd!!! Really appreciate that
Great job! Going to build my fence based on your video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Bart great video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend keep making
Thanks man. I’m just glad it got done before the snow came
@@KomarProject yeah definitely good call
Awesome job!
Great Job. solid looking fence
Thanks so much
Awesome job brother! It looks amazing 😁👊🏻
Thanks so much brother !
I'm definitely building a fence this year.
Great work!!
Nice job Komar & Merry X'mas to you & your 3 pretty ladies at home.
Thanks so much B!! And merry Christmas to you too
Great video. Thank you.
I loved watching this video, you have a beautiful place! Great fence, Ash hardwood fencing… that’s something special! Only hardwood i’ve ever used in fencing is oak gate posts as hardwood is pretty exspensive here in the UK, everyone’s got the same ideas of cutting up fallen trees into amazing lumber.
Ya I didn’t know you can use ash either. But after doing some research I found out that’s how the old timers did it for horse fencing cuz horses don’t like the taste of them
@@KomarProject oh really that’s interesting. That’s what they use creosote for too, it’s very nasty stuff it’s like coal tar or something. Very carcinogenic but VERY effective. They pressure treat it into softwood posts and it makes them completely rot, crack and weather resistant for 40+ years. It also tastes horrible so the horse won’t chew on the posts. It’s banned now in most countries but you can still get it in the form of posts
Great video, thank you so much
like the dogs and thanks for you sharing !
I love how at the beginning your like fencing is easy. I’m like OOHHKAAAY LOL then 3 min in you’re bent over hurtin bad lol. I laughed hard at this.
Great Video, I also happened to notice at time frame 12:54 the support on your double gate is the wrong way. They should go from bottom hinge to top of gate latch. Hope this is helpful. You may have already caught it. Love the vids. Keep up the hard work.
hi, loved yojur video., what size lumber did you use to build the gate?
Nice work
Great video
In a couple places and in the thumbnail, there is a gate shown with the diagonal braces in tension instead of the usual compression. Because of the way the gate is built, with the diagonal overlapping and screwed in with multiple screws, I think this will work fine. But I am surprised people have not jumped all over it. Only a few comments. Wood is fine in tension. You just have to make sure you fasten it in a way so that it won't pull out when it is in tension.
Heres a tip. Instead of using stakes and lumber to steady your posts, use stakes and ratchet straps x 3..that way you can fine tune the post so that its in the perfect position before concreting. Ive done it a few times now with excellent results every time.
Great looking fence..
Thank you Peter !
great video. question though, did you staple the rest of the mesh on to the horizontal rails once they were put up? thank you very much.
Great fence really like it
That’s so much Mellissa
Nicely explained!
Thanks bob
In the summer of 2000, I bought a house in Alberta with no fencing out back at all to keep our dogs in, so that was my first priority. I tried an auger (a big two-man one) and the rocks threw me and my brother-in-law right off that auger, nearling breaking our wrists. I found out from my elderly neighbour that back in the very early 1900s, hundreds of horse cart lods of river rock had been brought into the area as a base for the former stampede ground where our houses on the south end of the town were now built. I ended up having to dig 37 post holes by hand. Nine-foot posts with three feet in the ground.I over-spec'd the fence making sure each hole was bell-shaped for good centre of gravity and less prone to the fencing shifting over the years due to drost and wind. And I drilled each post and put a one-food piece of rebar through it (after re-treating each hole with rot-preventing treatment. It damned near killed me! I sold that house in 2005. In 2018 I drove past it and that fence still looked good.
What size did u use for the ones that go in the ground?
Looking good man! I would suggest looking into Heritage Natural finishes to help preserve those ash boards. It will help a lot with their life span!
I may look into that. I just don’t want to loose the natural look
Man, if you were local, I'd be over with my tractor and auger attachment, I built a fence with that and made it totally worth it.
Omg I would love that. I need one of those in my life
@@KomarProject I'm wondering why you didnt ask a friend over that may have one.
a trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Niko Alfonso Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone} for years myself :)
Yes, I had learnt the same lesson...
Great job!!
Thank you !!
i build fences for a living and i would suggest trying the little beaver auger.. its got the exact same motor and its a quarter the size for less work and more maneuverability
Nice Ash! Always such fun watching your videos. I often use the fencing you used but have mixed feelings over the material. Hate it when those little welds pop off and you get a winger...frick...
Ohh I had no idea they pop off. I’m going to have to watch for that. Thanks Ed
Awesome. Now I want to hire you lol
awsome stuff, love the live edge planks on the gates! also thats a super nice and easy way to make the gates! I´d suggest to cut the top of the posts at an angle so water can run off and they don´t rot! Therse also metal caps available i think?!
That’s a great idea. Will also give it a cool look. Thanks Joker !
Sana all...
Just so others know the bolts/pins that are attached to the PTO are designed to break incase it hits something hard. That way the cheap bolt will break and not the machine itself.
Man RUclips did not give me notification on when your videos went out!! i missed the last 4 !!
Well dame RUclips lol. Need to check them
I’ve had so many of those pins shear I think they make them to shear off easier so you buy more , like you had with your auger I use for a tiller grade 8 and shear them all the time lol😂 need like a grade 2000 pin
My favo show
Jealous of that auger! I’m in s Ohio. Clay sucks so bad and I’m digging posts with a manual post hole digger. Great video man!
Any tips for staining after its already built? I am wondering if it makes sense to spray and how that might be weird with the metal wire.
nice fence how long was it and how much time did it take u? thanks for the awesome video
Looks like someone has a lot of experience with spray paint tagging 😂
Just kidding, great video! Very informational!
I had my time in HS lol
You ain’t in the Komar Project deep enough if you don’t look at 4:05 and laugh to yourself remembering the ladder incident
Hahahaha I had to check what you are talking about. But now I know lol
Just in time :)
Just in time lol
I used bigger auger for my posts dingo but I live in cold ass Canada and needed 4 plus feet deep holes filled with slates of rock. I managed like 3 4’ deep holes outta 40.
Omg. I just checked your channel like 10secs ago
Hahaha what perfect timing
1 question for ya. Did you put the horizontal rails on the outside facing the neighbors or facing your property? Which has a better look? Thanks for the vid. This will be my next project.
So typically you have to put the rails on your side according to code so you can accesss them. But that may vary per city.
you never answered my question. which was, did you staple the mesh on to the rails?
I love the look of this, and it looks like an easy build! How do you combat dogs digging under though?
We have two dogs and so do our neighbors and so far non of them have dug under it. Just put the wire all the way down and hope for the best I guess lol
get taller wire dig a line and bury it under the ground
Did you secure the top of the wire fence to the top rail and other rails? I would have thought you would have stapled that but did not see any type of connection.
Did you use 6x6 post instead of 4x4 at gate locations?
What sizes diameter and height posts did you use and what kind of wood were they?
Enjoyed the video, thank you! A question I have is do you use one bag of quickrete per post? Thank!
Ya it was around one bag. I think I mixed two bags at once in the barrel and was able to get two posts.
Thanks so much! Awesome video! Gave me the confidence to take this project on. What would you say to placing posts 10 or 12 feet apart instead of 8? With the 1x6s between the posts I figure that would help keep things in line for years to come. I only want to do this once, correctly…. But at 8 feet apart I am at 90 posts…. So I don’t want to waste my time either. Thoughts?
This is awesome! We’ve watched several times in prep for doing it ourselves. :) I couldn’t see in the video though- how far apart did you space your posts?
1:29 8 feet
Any update on how this has held up? Anything you'd do differently?
I realize u going for a certain farm look but burning/blackening each board (both sides) would aid in the longevity of ur fence. This is accomplished by using a propane torch. Check out RUclips for more information.
😊
How did you make the fence keep straight on the incline shown at 12:40?
The diagonals should ideally point towards the lower hinge....although any diagonal is better than none
How wide can I go with that double gate design?
So the story board marked the top of the posts regardless of the uneven ground level ?
Did you use 6x6 for all of your posts?
Cold you run through how much it cost please?
I've got a couple question, namely because of my experience with building fences growing up to keep goat and other small critters in that like the escape. When cutting the post why not use a chainsaw? Was using the staples easier than using fencing staples? Do your four-legged furry not try to leave the fenced area? Cause I think the fences are a little high off the ground from past experiences with animals that like to escape.
The chainsaw will work buy a little heavy for me up high. The stapes will work either way, but since I put the cross braces in the netting will stay in place either way. And as far a the animals, the old one won’t jump anymore and the bulldog, well he is just lazy lol
Hi. How long will this type of fence be operational?
There is so much added work here. You do not need to brace every post if you set them right with gravel and dry pack which is proven as strong as wet pour pr thick wet pour then tamo dirt... and a story stick is a big no. You end up with sections that are not level. You use a line level and cut them all so that the top of the fence is level all the way across. Not stepping up and down with the ground.
Did you consider staggering the joints for the horizontal rails?
You totaly can. I just didn’t have 16” boards to do that. But it would be ideal
Did you use any type of fence stretcher when installing the welded wire fencing?
Same question!
Super helpful video! I missed this: how tall is the fence?
This one is 48”. Hope that helps
@@KomarProject I noticed the post is higher than 48". What is the length of the measuring stick that you used to cut the post? Thank you.
Did you use 4x4 for all of your gates?
I would suggest running a string line along the end posts to run the rails along. Even if it is level land there are some areas which will be higher or lower. This will ensure all of your rails are perfectly in line.
what size wood are your using 1x4? 1x6?
I cant find where you say how far apart the posts are. what did you do? thanks
