Awesome Dude..
Craftsmanship & Creativity, you are the man...! Well done.
As always, thanks for sharing & keep'em coming when you can...
Remember, not the way to do it, just the way you did it..
Hahaha
Be well, stay healthy..
😁👍
Nice of ya to say! You made my day
It's an amazing thing isn't it! If he can we can 😁
I like it, but I'm afraid to show my wife, or I'll be at the lumber yard later today.
Haha ... keep it quiet! That can be dangerous
Rabbits and rats can get right through that. Hardware cloth installed on the outer perimeter, bent in an L shape with half the L buried will stop rodents in their tracks. I learned this the hard way. Seems rats absolutely LOVE green bean plants and will chew them down to the soil. 😔
Wow you’ve got some RATS where you live
So as you didn't say it's Not a how to video, does that make this the long awaited How To video?
Ya got me! I think you might be right
I noticed that too.
Goals
metaspencer . . . Holy Cow...Wow! If you're not already a builder by trade, u oughta be! I've done several projects similar to this, and I was feeling your "pain" (overworked muscles and back) throughout the entire video. Especially the post hole digging. Kudos, my friend. Excellent work. You are an artist! :)
Big thanks for that! After working as a builder I shifted to tree work during the pandemic (dang wood prices became too hard for me to keep up with on the bids). I have a new workshop in the works and a few other things ... take care buddy
Would this be better with concrete anchoring the posts? Just wondering how long the posts will hold straight without it
that depends on your ground. this was a rubble-filled hard clay soil but in softer soils you'll definitely want to concrete in your posts
That is exceptional. I want it for my back yard
I was pretty happy with it. Thanks for checking it out! The guy who I built it for is exciting about getting things planted
The garden beds would be much better if they were at waist height.
yeah those high beds sure are nice!
SEXY!!!!!!❤
Great video! Just moved to new residence and we're in deer territory. In the process of building an enclosure with garden beds....this was sooooo helpful. Thank you!❤❤❤❤
You're gonna love that new enclosure!
Fantastic build!! Watching for ideas to build our own, and so far this is my favorite design so far. The craftsmanship is phenomenal. Have you had any issues with critters getting in through your fencing? I like the look of this style the best.
Thanks for checking it out and appreciating it! I've since moved away from the area where I built this one, so haven't seen it lately, but if you want 100% critter protection trench around the outside and burry construction cloth. It's invincible. Good luck!
With wood prices being what they are currently, that's an expensive enclosure. Very nice work!!
Yeah, prices have soared and it's become hard to source stuff ... not a great time for builders.
@@metaspencer my grandma bought us a Alaskan mill for building our chicken coop, used it tons but we may still go and mill up a bunch of 2x4s for later use, the tree we cut down is poplar and its trash wood our 2x4s need to be dimensional not nominal lol
Mill sounds great! I’m jealous
@@metaspencer it is great... till your at the last few cuts on a log, and its on the ground, the chainsaw exhaust hits the ground with nowhere except your eyes to vent to, we were using a niosh paint respirator while milling lol
My favorite one I've seen on social media! Definitely a happy wife I'm sure!
thanks for checking it out
How much was the bill?
Ya know this build was right at the time when lumber prices when sky high, so I took a loss on the job -- can't remember the price but I know I vastly underbid it. Still, a fun one to do
Why did you use 8ft for the posts?
As I recall that soil was hard as a rock and I only got my holes 2'-3' down, so 8 footers worked for the height I was building. I wasn't going to buy 10s and no 6s were available.
What size was this garden?
I'm having to think back ... about 50'x50' on the surround I'm thinking
Well done. That looks _incredible_
Oh good! Thanks so much
After watching this, I can not wait to try it myself !!!!! Amazing and beautiful. New ideas got!
Good to hear. Thanks
You definitely have a gift brother, take care and YHVH bless.
Nice of ya! Peace
I’m gonna guess Thornwood subdivision....
haha ... you're within a mile and a half :)
You're definitely an inspiration man! I'm just in the tree work world but try to do some construction project for our own use and I really enjoy watching the videos. Just makes me want to quit overthinking things and just get to work.
I like how you say that: "Quit overthinking and get to work!" Things have a way of working out so that is the way to go. Good to hear from ya man. The tree world is a good world
My friend... that's why I bought a mini skid for fencing and tree work.....we ain't getting any younger 🤔🤔🤔.. post holes suck by hand.. especially one person.... your back must be made steel... nice work..and 2511 made another appearance...
Ooooooo, you have a mini? Toro or another brand? I’m super jealous
@@metaspencer Toro... Sooooooooooo easy on your back.... I'm like completely done with hand auger's...use them for years now it's all hydraulics and on four wheels....😆😆😆😆😆
@@carlobernardi1387 drooling man. sounds fantastic
Very cool.
The dude seems to like it ... I think we need one too :)
Beautiful work. Love the arches. Looking forward to seeing your garden as we move into spring.
My starts are doing okay inside, so it's getting close!
That turned out great. It really looks like a kit they sell at a hardware store. Very professional looking.
Thanks buddy
You are a true artist!
Big thanks!
You are talented only thing i can see id do different is bury some block in the ground for the wood to sit on, may get premature rott from the ground
Yeah I typically add some gravel or a bit of busted brick at the bottom of the hole ... never know what happens down there over time but it's gotta help :)
@@metaspencer great idea but i meant the horizontal 2/s along the bottom if they arent vigilant about weed eating there they will get damp often ✌
Great job, looks amazing, lot of work for 4 beds.
I was thinking the saaaame thing :) but gotta keep the deer out I guess. Thanks!
Beautiful garden! Love the arbor!♡♡♡
Thanks!
Nicely done. Guessing wife loves it!
Thanks! Built it for some other folks but we need one
Pretty cool Spence! . . . . . Rog
thanks buddy!
That turned out great. Solid job.
Thanks man!
Now that's a good looking garden
Thanks buddy!
Wow, this really looks great!
Big thanks!
Somebody must have some money with the cost of lumber and the shortage
Yeah those prices are nuts
@@metaspencer I just picked up $750 worth of 2x4s today just for a project at work
@@williamkeehn3637 Just decided to buy 3 or 4 of them I see :)
Stimulus garden
Haha ... for sure
That is pretty sweet man ✌
Thanks for checking it out, buddy ... one of my final fence projects held over from last year
Wow! Incredible.
Boom! Yeah, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks buddy
Good video 👨🔧
Thanks Caroline!
Garden looks great.
Yay! It was a cool build
Wow !
Thanks buddy!
Nice video
Thanks man
Well done sir! :-)
Big thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out
Man, all of that wood would cost a fortune, but I like the style of that. Great job!
The prices are getting nuts
Absolutely
@@misterz2719 one of my side jobs is making outdoor furniture, and I agree that the prices are way too high
@@minialfers1940 that makes it tough, probably cheaper to buy plastic lumber, unless that is getting to high
Ooooooo, outdoor furniture! Awesome
Nice work!
Thanks man
Love it! 💚🌷🐝
Thanks!
