Hey Everyone! Just a quick update:
I get alot of questions on how much this total project cost! In total we spent Just at $1400 and that includes the Auger Rental. This includes all wood material, Gate Materials and Nails for Nail gun. If you do not have a nail gun or chop saw... this may increase your cost! Hope that helps and enjoy the video!

I run a professional fence installation company and I have to say, you didn’t necessarily go through easiest route as that comes over time and doing numerous jobs and learning the “tricks of the trade”. However, you did an amazing job for someone who doesn’t do this professionally. It looks great and should last you a long time...Good work sir!!!
Thank you friend!!! This vid never intended to take away From business owners like you! As a matter of fact I would encourage to use a Small business like you rather then Big Box. Also this isn’t for the faint of heart! If someone remotely thinks they can’t do it..... DONT!!! It could cost them thousands of dollars of wasted money!!! Hire Local!!!
I was thinking the same thing, he made it pretty difficult on himself but it turned out great in the end either way, more power to him 👍🏼
So what should he have done differently to make it easy plz share
@Marshall Nathan no one cares. How about find a wife you can trust
I appreciate this encouragement and positivity more than you know.
Excellent job. Looks great. Considering a fence project myself. Got a quote from pros and is was $20k 🤢 and my wife said “I guess you better learn how to build a fence yourself,” 😂
Holy crap!! 20k!!! That’s alota fence!!! I’m gunna get you can cut that in 3/4 if you do yourself!! Thanks for watching!!
20k sounds right for 500 ft of fence up here with material and labor
@@rogerdjuranic4903 I am doing 400ft and my estimation is 2500
My wife says "you better google educate and do it yourself" lol
shawn moniz no way man I do fence for leaving and 20k is way to much I’ll be around 9800 and that’s material and labor
Great job! I installed the first fence to my house back in 2004 to contain my 3 and 2 year old son and daughter. Sixteen years later my son just completed his first year of college and my daughter is going to be a senior. I live in the northeast (Lake George, NY). Where we get lots of snow and ground heaving when the ground freezes. If I were to offer a tip to your viewers, it would be to dig a 4-feet post hole, pour in about a foot of gravel (#2 stone), apply plastic roofing cement to base of your posts (getting the bottom really good), then setting the posts in the hole and pouring the concrete. This is a trick an old timer (my dad) taught me. Why? This will protect the post below grade from wood rot and from ground heaving when it freezes. See, the pressure treated lumber we buy is recommended for ground contact but not to be buried in the ground (or in water). That type of lumber is called marine grade- which is a lot more expensive. My point... I just replaced all my fence panels- they were an untreated spruce spaced picket (cheap at the time and did the job). When I removed those panels I inspected the posts, and all were rock solid like I just put them in. I replaced the spruce stockade with new cedar pickets- looks a lot nicer and saved thousands over having it done professionally. Note: for those looking to install cedar- be aware that if it does not come prefinished, you will use a lot of stain. I installed 80 feet and went through (1) 5-gal pale of stain and only had 3/4 of the fence done. So I purchased another 5-gals and will finish the first coat and apply a full second coat. Ps: when installing a gate, make sure you either install z-braces to prevent sag or buy the gate cable system- I chose the z-brace method- less expensive and better looking imo. Thanks again for the video, and best of luck to all on your next fence project! -Gary
What a coincidence, I live about 15 minutes from Lake George and I’ll 100% take your advice. Thanks!
I would to see a picture or video of that
My how times have changed. I'm 67, when I was in my 20's my dad bought a "farm" we had to run 4 strands of barb wire to fence in 20 acres of pasture. EVERY hole for round fence post was dug with a two post hole digger. Granted it took 2 weeks, but I probably dug 1000 holes. I wish they had that gas operated one like you used.
Dude you’re in inspiration!!!!! Love your phrase, if I can do it, you can do it. Am about to buy a house that needs a fence. And need to save money. I will certainly watch this over and over. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the awesome kind words! I’m not just saying it though!! Congrats on the house and have fun with upgrades and stuff! It’s a blast! Thanks for watching over and over!!! LoL
Thanks for putting this together, always good to see how other people go through the jobs and picking things up. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it! This video almost never happened but my wife insisted! (glad I listened) lol
Awe cute pup! My sweet pekingese is 15 years old now. We have always lived in apartments or houses without a fence. We finally bought our own place and are about to put a fence up. Im so excited to have him off leach in our yard! I told him I was going to get him a yard that he can run around in all he wants! Im so proud to be doing it.
Good luck on the Build!!!!
Looking to do my own fencing job in Scotland, UK. Been looking for a step by step and informative video with handy tricks, much like the templates you used. You must be chuffed with the finished product.
We absolutely love it! Doing another fence video soon! Caps, water seal and gate supports! Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman do you have the measurements to the spacer you made
F King are you talking about the guide on the top?? It was just a 2x6 piece of scrap.l with two small pieces in the sides to hold it in place. I used a level to plumb the dog ears.
A string line would be the easy way to grade the top of the pickets it works the same as the Template but you can run the string down the whole fence line instead of having to move a template every couple feet.
Just built 300 feet of Privacy Fence! Thanks for the guidance. I built it exactly like you did and it worked great!
Awesome! Congrats!!! Thank you for watching!!! Glad it helped you!
what auger diameter did you use? I think this video is showing a 6inch.
I am a 61 year old woman doing most of this myself. I say take a tiller and they dig down a few inches at a time. They are not real heavy. so you end up with a 2ft sq. you have to keep digging up the dirt out of the hole. You may have to take 2 days to do it. Just planting the poles. Eventually you will have a 2 ft hole. So tiller some and dig it out then keep doing it over the place until you have your desired depth. That is what I will do.
The cement I have delivered. I can't lift those bags. So take a bucket and take out 1/4 at a time.
A WORX wheel barrow is good. I fill the bucket about half way to move the stuff to where ever you want it. Then you can take the barrow to the holes and use a hose to make up the cement.
You can use quick drying.
Your an inspiration for sure!!! This is a lot of work and for that I commend your efforts!! Keep up the good work and hope all works out for you!!! Thanks for watching!!
inspire734 I’m in the same boat as you. I’m sure you’ve done a great job.
Just watched this and by far this was the most informational one out there. Thank you for all the advice and guidance. Looks great!
Thanks soo much!! It was a fun video to make!!!
Thank you for explaining in detail, finally someone who is true and insightful. I am in need of fencing and I’m on a budget and have no idea where to start much less the machinery and tools to use. This gals going to pay attention. 😊 Thanks for the help. Hopefully if I have a question someone can answer. Lol
Martin good to know and learn out of your experience. I will take it to heart and try the hedge instead. After all, I do live in the gulf coast area of Texas and heavy wind and rain with flooding is common during hurricane season. Thank you!!!👍🏼❤️
Dude, awesome job on the fence. Really good detail and love how you used the templates to help you with measurements and accuracy. Great work man. Hope it’s holding up👍🏻
Thanks so much Mike! The fence is as good as the day we were done. Gates are doing well too but i still want to do Correct diagonal supports. Walmart Hinges are no issue too! Thanks for watching!
Nice job. To anyone watching this about to build a fence, keep the bottom of your boards an inch off the ground. Keeps the bottoms from getting wet and rotting
Thank you!!! & Thanks for watching!!!
Great Job Sir! Your fence looks fantastic. I wanted to comment on your experience working with an auger. OMG! I did only 11 holes yesterday and it was cruel work! My body is super sore today.
Thank you so much for your video. This video helps with my 106 feet of privacy fence.
That's it. I'm building my own fence too. Same issue with my dog. I have a zip line running across the yard. Can't wait to set him free in a fenced in yard. Great job sir. We'll done!
Not gunna lie… when I saw “Zip Line” my brain went straight to…. You connecting to a zip line and flying down your yard! Then it hit me…. Oh…. Your dogs connected to one between two trees! 🤣🤦🏻♂️. A fence is just so much better! Good luck with the build and thanks for watching!!!
Great job guys 👍 Lol your wife had the same expressions that my wife had when we were doing our fence they both look so thrilled 😄.. but she seemed like a trooper great job
Fantastic video! As an avid DIYer I'm definitely confident in trying this myself now. Thank you.
Let’s Gooooo!!! If I can do it…. you can for sure!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
One thing I learned when digging holes in very hard soil is to put a gallon of water in the hole and let it soak for a few minutes. It's messier, but gets the job done quicker.
Good idea!!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Years ago my husband used that post hole digger and he bruised his inner thighs! He was so sore he gave up. You’re both doing a great job!
Thank you!!!
I'm going to replace my son's existing very old fence in Nov. in San Antonio and I was looking to learn how to do the job. Your video was the second video I watched on this topic and by far the best one, congratulations on a job nicely done. I wish you had also posted the lists of all the tools and materials needed for this task. But you did an excellent job!
Thanks so much for watching!!!
Asghar how did the fence come out
Nice work this is probably one of your best videos in a long time
Thanks man!!! I had sooo much footage it was so hard just to get it down. I might have been able to cut out some more but O Well!!!
I love how your wife is out there helping you out,! Thats what i call team work!
She amazing and helps out almost every project we do!!! We make a great team!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Dude, you did a fantastic job. That’s how I hope my fence will come out when the time comes for me to do it. Just a great job. You should be very proud.
Thanks Joe! I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!!!
Overall you did a good job, pro tip try not to use corner posts to be a a latch or hinge posts for gates, its essentially free floating and after a couple months that post will bow which will effect how well your gate opens if it does at all. 2nd piece of advice, leave 1 1/2 inch gap between the gate where the latch is, over time the gate will sag a bit, if its to close together you will be lifting your gate to open it. 3rd tip ditch the middle runner (2x4) in the gate all thats doing is weighing down the gate, you put a diagonal 2x4 inside the gate frame (the bottom of the diagonal is always on the hinge side) its transfers the weigh from the top of the latch side to the bottom of the hinge side that has substantially more support due to the hinges being lagged to the post. Other than that it turned out good, not bad for your first fence!
That was absolutely so nice of you to provide such great technical insights to Kalinds Life. I am a woman who wants to build my own build my own fence so I watch and read comments so I can learn. I'm afraid to do it because I fear I'll run into something I can't handle. I'm watching and reading everything I can to be fully prepared. You comments helped me understand before or if I should attempt this. I would love the sense of accomplishment and want to save the money but just not sure yet. Thank you for the pro tips.
Learning. What do you mean by "free floating"?
@@billymiles2635 I think it means the post is a corner post so the fences overall strength and rigidity is not in-line with the gate, it turns 90°. I believe this is a problem because the gate hanging on that corner post will eventually pull it down, causing sag. If the post had another picket section in-line with the corner post it would distribute that load across two posts, not 1. At least that was my interpretation.
@@Ryan-qk9sw Your interpretation is correct
Gate wheels are a good idea. Good vid!
Great job WE appreciate all the hard work especially being your first project ..and your right you did save a shitload of money DYI.👍
What's DYI do yourself in? Lol
thanks for making this how to video. I will be building my own privacy fence soon and out of all the videos i have researched this one is the best! Great job man!
Awesome Will!! I wanted to make a fun video as well as informative! Glad i didn’t disappoint! LoL. Thanks for watching!!!
Very cool fence sir! I just bought a new home myself and thanks to your video, I am going to build it myself. I hope you’re enjoying the satisfaction of a successful project. Thanks a million!
Danny
Dan!!! Thanks so much! It means a lot that i was able to help you in some little way. My wife was the one who told me we needed to record this build and I’m so glad we did! It’s been crazy the amount of love we’ve gotten (and some hate!) I even met a lady at my work that in passing recognized me because she watched this video! LoL. The fence is standing Tall and Proud! Good luck on your build.... I know you got this!!!!!!
GREAT JOB! I followed your plan and installed a nice fence for my mother in law. 👍
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that. Im glad it helped you out!!!!
What type of wood
Wow, you guys did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Laura!!! It sure was a job but it did turn out great!!!
I love the job you done I'm doing my own and it is really hard but I feel that I'm able to do it with your help And I'm female Retired construction worker , Never done a yard fence my neighbors are totally shocked Thank you very much
Great video! Thank you for putting this together in the middle of what is already a big project. What a legend
Thank so much!!! Alot of work but had fun making it!!!
I’m not installing my own fence but this was so informative and creative I enjoyed every second lol.
Awesome Kari!!! Thanks so much for watching!! I’m glad you liked it! 😁
Good job! I like the tips you gave. It's gonna help me alot
Awesome Reggie!!! Thanks for stopping by!
Great job 👍👏 man!
I'm going to attempt this project too.
Thank yuh so much!!! Not bad for my first time! Hellzzzz.... if I can do it anyone can!!! Thanks for watching!!
Wow... very cool and informative. GREAT JOB, looks phenomenal!!
You did an awesome job!....Congratulations to you and your helping lady...I found your video extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing!!!
😇 she’s awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That looks fantastic!! I would of thought your wife would have been a little happier about it when you asked her though lol. I would been sooo appreciative that you built it!! I know that's a lot of work!! Great job!!
Oh believe shes extremely appreciative. Thanks for watching!!!!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman I’m sure she is very excited and besides great project to do with your beautiful wife! On another note: the fence turned out great and I love the way you went step by step! Awesome you guys
Wow this a damn good video! Great job keeping everything level. The entire project looks great and looks rock solid. Should last many years to come.
Awesome Comment! Thank you so much for watching!!!
You did amazing job. After seeing this video, definitely going to do my yard myself.
You got this bro!!!! If I can you can!!! Best is luck!!!
I know this video hasn't been commented on for a while, but I found it very helpful. I did mine almost the same way and this was a huge help. So thank you.
Your Welcome!!!! Thanks for watching and so glad it helped some!!!
So much good information here. We need a fence for our yard / kids / dog terribly but no way I'm going to pay $8k for it. And no way do I have the confidence to try it myself! LOL. Excellent job, subscribed.
Thanks so much R B!!! I know I’m no pro but I just had to record my experience and how I did it!! Thanks so much for Subbing!!! I think you were number 3699!!! 😂
Yooouuu can doooo witt!
8k? How many ft is the fence ? We charge 19.50 a ft for 6ft cedar in memphis
I think you're correct. Those things are tough and will get away from you and actually break you arm if you're not careful.
Thanks alot for sharing so useful video. I am planning to do mine and after watching I am so thankful.
You both did an excellent job of installing your own fence!!! I'm impressed.
Thanks Gayle! My wife’s AMAZING!! Definitely couldn’t have done it without her!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman , that's team work and support at the ready!!! What an awesome couple!
Great job. I think you did really well, especially that it was mostly done alone. If you want to prevent the gate from sagging throw in a couple of diagonals to redistribute the loads. Still very impressive DIY.Thanks.
Can you believe is still havnt added the diagonals!!! They’re dropping a little but the way I did the latches really relieves a lot of gravity. I still plan on doing the diagonals and most likely will be a short little video too!!! Thanks for the kind words!!!
Good job dude, especially for your first time.
Thanks so much!!! Hopefully my last!! LoL
Thanks. for taking time to really show us how its done and giving those great tips! Really enjoyed
Awesome!!! Glad it helped out!!!
rent an auger for @60 bucks for the day,put your back out drilling all day into pitrun backfill on a new house.a lesson i learned early.i hired a bobcat for 250.00 with operator.maximum 15 holes,10.00/ea for anything xtra.
dont break your back,if you can get a machine in there,it s worth more than you know
I own my own fence company with 18 years experience. Other than some minor nitpick things ya did a great job 👍 there’s a number of tricks of the trade that would have been helpful for you but overall I’m impressed 😃
Coming from an actual fence company owner that means a lot. I know these type of videos are not the best for your business so I would like to add that if your not sure.... USE A PROFESSIONAL!!! I have above average skills and had the ability to attempt this on my own.... if I thought otherwise.... I would have called a pro like James! Thanks for watching!!!
awesome job . I'm getting ready to start building a fence myself. You made me see that I can do it .
You can do it and save soooo much money!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent video! I'm about to start the same type of project tomorrow. I have never done a fence before and I'm a little less nervous after seeing this. I have no incline to speak of and the posts are all good, I believe. So really it's just the slats. Thanks!
Hey yo Rick! You can do it! Once you find your proper line and set your corners it’s smooth sailing from my there! The string line trick will help tremendously!!
I'll be using your method as well. Have to install a fence for a customer soon and have no experience as well. Awesome job and little tips to make everything easier
Thanks so much Chris! Good luck on your project! I know you’ll do great!!!!
Chris Chevalier 😂how u get customers 😂 with no experience is it your first job like u just joined the crew I mean🤔✌
@@johnbeer5242 what's that matter I have lots of customers I'm in the landscaping business
Chris Chevalier good luck growing the business!!
@@johnbeer5242 people ask my husband to do many things he's never done before. He just charges less intil he is satisfied with how nice each job comes out. When he is confident in his work he charges more. Most people dont mind if u tell them.
" hey im still working on perfecting the job at hand but i will give you a year or two warrantee." Most are happy that you were honest.
Good luck with your business chris.
You guys did a great job. Its nice how both of you work together. My wife and i are married 40 years and we remolded our kitchen together. I told her when we finished that if we haven't got divorced after that job then we are good for the rest of our marriage, that kitchen remodel was the big test. 😂
Thanks so much! We love doing all our projects that are big together. We’re at Almost 19 years so I think we’re safe too! 🤣
Man i liked that template you came up with, you and your wife did a great job working together, she really is adorable!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Beautiful work. I am following your steps on this project.
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Just reminded me why I returned my augers after digging most of the holes for one side of my fence. 8 holes and it kicked back hard enough I had gotten racked 3 times and way too many close calls. The lady didn't even question why I returned it after I explained that portion.
Hahahaha!!! I understand you 100%!!!
I build fences for a living and this thing looks great, you could’ve used brackets for more support but it’s money 👍🏻
You would use brackets in between the poles right? On the end of each 2x4. Instead of nailing them on the outside?
What gauge nail gun should be used when attaching the panel to the post
I own my own fence company and that fence looks like shit. Not built properly and the gate has no braces. Brackets arent necessary when built properly. The build measurements are stapled on the side of the pickets when you buy them. Posts are to be under the pickets...
Can you tell me what material I need and how many to make a 200 feet fence
If u build fence for living your fence company must be crap all the post are higher then the pickets that’s a number one rule
Great job and explanation. I’m going to tackle my fence this week.
YES!!! Good luck Noah!! You got this!!
Im going to fence my own little garden and I’m collecting info , thank you so much for the information very useful, I’m in England 🏴 I love America
Awesome!!!! Glad it helped!! England is on our bucket places to visit!! We love England too!!!
Great video! It’s hard to find a good fence video but you nailed it..
Wow thanks Brian! There was so much video taken and just as much edited......it was a hard one to make and I didn’t want to disappoint.
LOL, nice pun!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman Great job on your fence! I install fences, only recommendation I have is use your stringline to set the height of your posts, you want a uniform top, not necessarily uniform distance from the ground. You can also use a stringline for the top of your boards.
Instant Karma I see what your saying. Only issue for me was we have to follow the contour of the ground per our community guidelines. I didn’t agree but rules are rules!
KalindsLife About How Much For Material My Yard is About the same Size As Your And Thinking About Doing It Myself
The excitement he has from understanding the basic skills of carpentry, makes me want to build something… thank you sir
Thank You!!!
Good job, excellent detail and very thorough! Thanks...I'll be using a lot of your ideas! Nice Fence😎
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Good work, I watched one vidoe before it was complicated, but this video is much easier. I decided to build for around my house like this one . Thank you for sharing it really helped me to start . Well done.
Great to hear! Thats awesome! I almost didn't make this video but my wife said "go for it!" I'm so glad she was right.... its helped a lot of Newbies like me!!! Cheers Justin!
yeah, digging sometimes can be super tough. I rented a hydraulic powered digger one time (HD) and had a helper. We dug 13 holes, each hole took about 10 minutes. That was boring through clay and hard pan, nothing easy.
Nice job! The "template", in old school terms, is called a "story" stick. Should you build another fence, I would recommend mixing concrete before hand, ( practically dry or about a 2-3 inch "slump"), Google can help you out how slump relates to concrete. Then, mound the concrete in a nice four sided cone , so as to shed water. Yeah, I know it seems more of a hassle, but the end result will be much better. Curious, did you put gravel in the post holes prior to installation? No biggie, but it does help with rot. Most people don't. Some people go so far as to caulk around the top of the cone where it meets the post. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share your great work experience with the world.
This is impressive. Thanks for sharing and providing such valuable details. This will help me, as I add a privacy fence to our home.
Remember to wear PPE (i.e. hand, eye, and ear protection). God Bless
thank you CB!!! Good luck on your build and thanks for watching!
Thank you for such an informative video.
Thanks for filming this and that’s a GREAT looking fence! My wife has been after me to build a privacy fence for our back yard. I know cost varies, but did you price one of the panel fences vs the kind you did (DIY)? I’ve been looking at 6x8 panels but I’m not sure of the cost difference. Thanks again for taking your time to provide the video!
P.S. I’m just south of the border in good ol’ Clemson, SC! You guys almost had our number a couple of years ago. You couldn’t BUY a field goal kicker! Lol. Anyway, thanks for the video!
I did. I got mine for $2.28/pickett at Lowe’s.
My man, you really helped me!!!! I was thinking I needed to put the post against the house. Not necessarily. I just need to run my cross bars up to the house, wedge them in, and go from there up to the first post… great ideal. I thank you!!! Truly. You did an incredible job!! And likewise, thanks for the video.
Good job for someone who has never made one before. Although, putting those slats on grade will make them subjective to rot even if they are treated. I always leave 1.5” off the grade
Thanks Conor! I will definitely evaluate how the bottom is in a couple years. If I notice any rot I probably will cut off 1” with the contour of the yard. It was a fun build but I’m glad it’s done!
Great work!! Came out awesome, thanks for sharing. Gave me a a good idea how to do my fence. Thank you!! 👍😉💪
Thank you so much!!! It’s a tough job but with the cost Of wood right now..... self installation is even more of an idea right now!
Best how to video I been wanting a fence but can’t afford to pay someone to do it this video motivated me. Gonna give it a shot! Thanks
Thanks so much Normil!!! We had a lot of fun building the fence and making the video! It was ALOT to edit down to a watchable video! If I can do.... ANYONE CAN!!!
The post was plumb. The string followed the plane. Neither one were level
Thank you I work as a carpenter and hear people call things level instead of plumb drives me nuts
Me too. Local 4
Must be like an English teacher seeing there, their, and they're used the wrong way in writing. The usage was a little off but it was a great job nonetheless
Awesome video awesome job
Thanks soooo much!!! I love having a fenced in backyard!!!
Really enjoyed your video. Siimple and effective.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching and Im super happy you enjoyed it!!! Stay Awesome!
Nice job, brother. I’m digging my post holes right now and am going to get this baby done by next week. Appreciate the tips!
Thanks!!! Good luck!! You got this! For a big project it’s easy!
Hahaha the dog is like, is this for me? You made this for meeeee? 😍🥰
He said he never did a fence b4 but this looks like a pro..he followed the contours of the land flawlessly. Great job I wish u lived in my neighborhood I dont want to pay a company 2 to 3 times more than than the material
Thanks so much Tee B!! I promise you I never did a fence before. I did screw up some terminology which it seems a few people here felt they needed to call me out on.... which whatever. Honestly I just took my time and didn’t rush. The heat and unscripted recording made me mess up my words a bit... loL. Thanks for watching!
@kalindslife Such a pleasure to watch!! Keep going ppl like me depend on u so I hope u feel good knowing u help ppl more than you will ever know
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman @KalindsLife no problem. I'm only 27 and didnt have shop class in school so now I'm watching a bunch of RUclips videos. I have all the basic tools I just need the confidence to do it bc If I spend 1k on material I'll be mad if it doesnt come out the way I want. Mainly, the only thing I'm really worried about is following the contour of my land...instead of installing pre built I think I may try individual pickets to follow land
That's an awesome job. Thanks for posting.
Awe thanks Johnnie!!! I appreciate the kind words!! Thanks for watching!!!!
I’m working on building a deck and that auger is no joke! The auger has no mercy, I have the bruises to prove it. Good job on the fence and the instructions.
Thanks!!! Once that auger catches a big rock or stump it’s game over!! LoL. Good luck on the deck!!! I want to build a deck under the house and turn it into a work shop. Move out of the garage.
Ya those post hole oggers are kinda rough... Body position is key... wide stance rest part of the ogger against your hip and place your right foot back... squat with it as it digs with medium rpm's and not fully under its own weight.. you need it to work like a drill and not a cork screw... try not to let it bind or it might take you for a ride and it will mostly remove the dirt itself... sometimes lol... its defiantly manly mans work, but i hope it helps a little if you take a go at it again man
Would you be able to list the supplies we should buy to do this? We need to finish off our yard ourselves and are quite inexperienced. 😅
67 TWO BE FERS and A FULL COUPLE THREE BAGS OF THE CRETE.
Can you list the measurements you used for the height of the post and for the measurements for the wood going across the post.
I've been in construction for 35 years. There are two machines that always kick my ass. A heavy duty jack hammer and an Auger. You handled that Auger like a champ.
Thanks man! I really hated life for a few days after that. Im not gunna lie. It rattled my insides for almost a week and I felt really bad from it. Im not in bad shape but damn.... not anytime soon do I want to use one! lol. Thanks for watching!
Whoo! I am pooped! Great video. I need to build a new fence, the last hurricane nearby blew it all the way over. One tip for those who don't know: when you build one of these fences, you're obliged to build it "ugly side in." Meaning the horizontal pieces are inside your yard, and it's flush on the outside.
Thanks for watching!!! And yes.... curb appeal side out! I rarely see ugly side out and when I do.... it’s bad!
They have augers with wheels for 1 person to use
Yeah, the one he is using is for drilling holes in ice to ice fish.
little beaver auger is what we use . they work great and save hoir back some. but even still ita heavy as hell to move to hole after hole
Awesome. Great job. 👍
4ceof5pades not much Ice fishing here in NC!!! And what does Ice over..... I wouldn’t dare walk on! 🤣
I use Sika Fence Post Mix. It sets in three minutes and drys in 2 hours. Even though it costs 3 times as much as concrete it saves us a bundle in labor costs. By the time were completed with installing the posts. We can go to where we started and install the 2 X 4s. Thank you for all the excellent tips. Being a landlord we install about 2 fences a year.
Awesome Kent! Glad this video helped out some! I went for the cheapest route possible and skipped the Fence Post Mix. Thanks for watching!
Very informative video! The fence came out very very nice .
Thank You so much!!! Thanks for watching!!!
great job i'm in the process of doing this myself thanks for the video
Awesome!!! Join my discord and post picture of final job!
Just a slight correction, a vertical member is not 'level'. It is plumb. Posts are plumbed.
Yeah... I used the wrong terminology. I now know! Thanks for watching!!
I definitely agree with you brother. I used a post hole digger and man I tell you. It was alot bigger than the one you using and it was me, my dad and cousin had hands on it because it was so damn heavy.
I swear to you I was oddly sick for a week! Almost like it rattled my insides and messes my organs up’ LoL.
Lol!! At the end of the day the job is done and you did a great job brother.
You had a big two man auger probably. For sure a auger will wear you out, especially with hard ground or big roots.
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman. That's Funny you say this. I've had that happened to me before also lol
@@dareuslomas94 must agree with ya this guy did a good job and saved a good bit you would pay a fence company to install.
Great tips and ideas! I can't wait to get started!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!!
so fun to watch , you did such a great job. your dog has a great daddy!
Thank you so much for watching!!! It was a fun video to make!
very good job but very hard work yesterday i helped my friend to build a 30 ft fence i dug like 8 holes with a post digger not an auger and today when i woke up i couldnt feel my arms lol
Haha! Your gunna feel that for a week! Thanks foe watching and hope you feel better soon!
Hahaha
Would it be worth $6 per hole to pay someone to drill the holes? That's what I charge. If the post location is measured and marked, I can do about 30 holes/hr.
Awesome video, but I advise calling 811 before you dig and they will come mark utility lines. That can save your life!
Hey there JR! You are absolutely right. I didn't add this in the video but we did call 811 and they came out. We were new construction and had little to worry about. The only lines in the ground we needed to avoid were on the side opposite of the AC UNIT as that was the Main power. We ended up cutting the fence to 6' on the last section so the Meter box was on the OUTSIDE of the fence. Thanks again for watching!
Thanks for making the video. It gives me the tips and confidence to put one up myself. I appreciate the detail you used. I agree with the comment below, you put together a great fence video and they are hard to find.
Thank you so much Derek! I know I’m not a pro fence builder but I do know the fence a is up to code and permitted for my area and also it is up to last and stand the elements of time. I’m so serious when I say that if I can do it... you can too! Take your time and have fun with it. You will save a ton of money! Good luck and thanks again for the comments!
Man, Great Job on this fence!!!! i’m starting mine tomorrow!
You can do it! Take your time and plan it out. Its a very satisfying project! Let me know how you do!
8:15 this is due to the fact that wood is not naturally straight so the try to get the straightest cut i know this because I worked a lumber mill
Thanks MFV!!!! Even after a year I'm stoked of the way it looks!!! I did a one year review video you might like too!!! Thanks for Watching!!!
Major Family Vlo
we didnt see him pour conrete for th e. posts?
Great job, I would not want my yard running down hill, but that is your yard. That is a professional fence job! Show what a professional fence the guy across the street got, I bet he is glad that he did not pay for that job. His land lord could have paid you to do it. Bad job those so called professional did. We call those kind of contractors "Fly By Nights"........ hit and run contractors !
I've read a lot of pro tips on your video. I don't know if it was mentioned, but I have another tip for you. When you fill your holes with concrete, don't fill it to the top of the ground. Leave about 2" - 6" from the top empty and fill the rest in with your dirt.
Actually, that's the opposite of what you should do if you want your posts to not start rotting after a few years.
Instead of stopping with the concrete 2-6" from ground level, get an 8" cardboard concrete form at HD (they come in 4 foot lengths for just a few dollars) and saw off about 5". Place that around the post and keep it about an inch below ground level. Then FILL that form with concrete and with a trowel shape the drying concrete so that the water runs AWAY from the post.
Granted, it's not as pretty as having the soil and grass grow right up to the fence post but you will make sure that the post will not rot right where it matters: where the wood goes in to the concrete.
You'll thank me years down the road. :)
