Fencing: The Ultimate Guide | Feather-edge Pales, Capping Rails & Cost! (3 of 3)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2020
- In this mini-series I'm building a close board feather-edge fence. This video covers attaching the feather-edge pales, counter rails and capping rails and a break down of what the whole project cost and what savings I made by DIY-ing it vs paying a contractor.

Should be called the ‘Master Class’ series. You should have way more subscribers...people are missing out 🤦🏼♂️ your video editing has really notched up since you started out 👌🏻
Haha, I thought 'ultimate guide' was pushing it but I figure if there's a place to be a bit spammy it's the vid title or thumbnail, then I can make the video how I want. Editing is slowly improving, this will be one of the last ones I make on iMovie, I've reached its limits now so will be upgrading to Final Cut 👍
Totally this is way the best videos on putting up a fence. Starting mine tomorrow with a friend to help! Thanks so much. I didnt know wood expands/contracts that much!!!
The gravel boards were a great idea. Think I’ll add those on my fence to give it more height. Great videos, thank you!
Really enjoyed this project, and oddly satisfying to look at how you've negotiated the tree trunks...
I watched 4 useless videos before this one and still felt I didn’t know enough to be confident in installing a fence but now after watching yours I really do. Thank you 👍
🌟 Brilliant! Just got a wealth of useful info. Thanks a million! ✨
It looks fantastic, well done Ali. Great advice too (practical & philosophical) Hope your next project is coming soon!
Great video, great advice. Thank you for taking the time to post your videos, I am always pleased to see a new episode from you appear in my inbox, keep them coming please.
All the info I need to do a fantastic job. Thanks for a great video Ali. Looking forward to your next post.
Cool! I have ordered all my materials for my fence before I came across and subscribed to your channel. This is my first major project around the house, your video gave me a huge confidence boost! Thanks
Closing statement spot on, good job 👍
What a great three part series. Very well considered and knowledgeable, and such good points around getting away from the digital work experience and building something. I was also considering buying a nail gun, thanks for convincing me :)
I fully agree with your final reason for taking on such a project - certainly this is the aspect that motivates me 👍🏼
Great explanation. Great fencing and video skills.
Supurb presentation and tips. Great to watch. Fully agree over the side of achievement building something gives. Keep it up!
Really good series of videos. End result looks great. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and explain everything so clearly.
You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Great job, looks fantastic 👍 totally agree with last point regarding digital work and getting outside.
Beautiful job. Thank you.
Another great video, thanks Ali!
Excellent series and a very impressive fence. Really enjoyed the 3 videos! Subscribed!!
Welcome to the channel! Great name too
Excellent. I’m doing something like this next month. Brilliant tutorial.
Have fun!
Fantastic job, love your videos
Great videos Ali, the last comment on your video is so true..... Excellent work!
Usual high quality video. Great stuff Ali. I’m probably not the only one wishing I had a fence and gate to build again. I didn’t do a gravel board for my gates either, it just looks odd and after 5 years the bottom is fine. Looking forward to the final cabin video and other projects.
Thanks John! Haha I'm glad mine's done but have another one to do next spring. Good to know about the gate pales.
Even though i have no need for a fence and have built many of them in the past it was great to see your methodology in working everything out. I appreciate the time and effort with the editing. These videos will continue to be excellent 10 years from now and you should enjoy that passive ad revenue haha. Keep up the excellent work Ali.
It was good fun figuring things out for a difficult site. I got a lot of compliments from people walking past too so I briefly contemplated putting up a sign advertising my skills to become a fencer when I realised how much they can earn!
Haha, I did think these vids were pretty good but they haven't done very well in terms of views for some reason, perhaps they're too lengthy and detailed. The RUclips algorithm remains a mystery!
Another great video Ali
Great video Ali.
I rarely comment on videos as useful as it can be. For this I'll make an exception.
Because ... I TOTALLY agree on your last point. I'm a tech guy, I spend my life building abstract app / digital experience that you can't physically touch, in a virtual world for people i'll most probably never meet.
Building (gate like yours, bathroom 30 m² tiles etc, bedroom and soon a garden room) is my way to reconnect to the physical satisfaction of completing 'something' my way, to my exception, with my OCD satisfied. Yes I save money (we all love it), yes I know how it's done and how to fix it (my wallet also love this), but above all I have the satisfaction to have done it MYSELF !
Another one to conclude, I'm not watching TV all day, i do part of the work with my daughter and boy, I'm moving and my intellect is trigger to learn about U value for insulation, materials and solution. Who can claim all that paying 50% for someone else to do it?
Love this! Spot on. My other reason for love of DIY is getting into a flow state. There are all these distractions all the time. When I'm making something, especially outside, I'm just in the zone of problem solving and thinking it all out. Total immersion. 🙌
@@AliDymock Hi Ali. Do you mind if I ask what you do for a living? Working in IT myself I have to agree with your comment on the feeling of building something physical and Ternoy's comment above.
Love the way you think everything through in an analytical fashion and great to see a UK RUclipsr.
As a web developer by trade, but a keen DIYer , your last statement is SPOT ON. Having something physical over something digital you have achieved is worlds apart. The feeling of accomplishment imho is way more rewarding for something you can physically touch or use. Keep up the great work on the channel.
Glad you liked that bit, I nearly cut it!
THANK YOU
So grateful you took the time to share your research and experience. Honestly mate
So glad you liked it. This mini series never took off like my other series so it's nice to get positive comments on it :)
Awesome, thanks Ali
Your channel is amazing, I’ve only recently found it and subscribed, but the videos you post are the best I’ve ever viewed. You look at things pragmatically, yet you consider dogmatic to ensure it complies with requirements. Everything is methodical, yet it’s relaxed enough to allow amateurs, like myself, to give it a go. I’m a very amateurish DIYer, and my husbands even less. However, your beautifully presented videos, especially the garden room build, now mean I’m considering building a small art/music/pottery studio rather than have one built, even though my husband is having kittens at the thought! Also, love the fact you wear your old boots until they nearly drop off; comfort over everything. I wish you and your partner the very best, as people like you are so amazingly generous to share such wonderful talent (I think you should have you own TV channel as you are way better at explaining complex things than some out there). Thank you so much.
Wow, I must have missed this comment initially. Very kind words, thank you, best of luck with your studio build!
Great 3 videos on this Fence Build Ali apart from the few problems you had, you did an EXCELLENT job probably better than some of the Fence Contractors I could name . You and your Partner Stay Safe Though !!!.
Thanks Brian, you too!
Hi Ali, I totally hear you on the "that's its own reward" philosophy. I get so much pleasure from my finished projects 😊 I'd highly recommend the DeWalt nailers. I have both the framing and finish nailer and have been using them for a couple of years now and have never had even the slightest issue. I absolutely love them both. Yes, they are heavy but they're working your biceps while you're creating 😋😆 win win 😃 Another 'tip packed' video 👍😃
Good to get a recommendation. I've read that the Dewalt uses a different mechanism to fire the nails so was leaning towards the other two but I'll reconsider Dewalt now, thanks Maria!
@@AliDymock Interesting, I didn't know that 🤔 I suppose if you're a serious user then you'd need to consider that. You're always so thorough with your research so you'll definitely make the right choice for you 👍I have quite a few of the DeWalt 18v range now - Screwfix vouchers are all I ask for when it's my birthday or for Christmas 😆😆😋
Thank you for this video. Good tips and great inspiration to carry on doing my back garden fence on my own. I'm too going from digital to physical here ;)
Doing the feather-edge cladding on the back of the garden room this weekend so some nice tips picked up here as always. I can relate so much to the 'to purchase or not purchase' the cordless nailer. Such a useful tool but wildly expensive, I considered the air nailers with compressor, that wouldn't suit this type of project with the terrain and distance I suppose. More than likely I'll be using screws to fix. Look forward to seeing your future projects on the house 👍
I was going to mention screws being another fine choice 👍
this is awesome
Security tip for the gate. Add a hardened steel hasp and staple to make it harder for thiefs, the standard galved brenton bolts are easily and quietly cut.
Fantastic video! Just had a quote for £7500 for less than half the length of your fencing! I know your video is a couple of years old now - but I'm seriousdly thinking of doing it myself!
Love the videos man
🙂Cheers Ben
Last point really hits the nail on the head hehe. Great job as ever. Maybe I could justify a nail gun after all...
ty. Your mom's fence looks the best. Hopefully I can copy it here in the States. peace
Next project ?,,,Building a new shed / man cave ...Great video again man...thanks for sharing
Great series, I really like the clarity in your presentation. Coincidentally planning to replace a fence soon. Were likely going with concrete posts, gravel boards, prebuilt panels. ~25m of fence calculates to be about £1.3k of materials (Best so far of 11 checked suppliers)
That's very decent and concrete should last an age.
Well done. you have inspired me. We can do it. Thanks.
Yes you can!
Great videos - yep, agree it feels good to actually have a tangible output!
Thanks Richard!
Good one
Cracking comment around taking a break from the digital and trying something different. I've tackled a few projects in my time and it does save on the money front but you pay for that in time spent on it which takes you away from other things like family and leisure time. Agree though you certainly get a sense of accomplishment at the end of it.
Very true Ashley. I guess it could also be argued that the time would be spent furthering one's career and then using those £ to pay professionals at a lower hourly rate BUT here's the flip side of the argument that I tend towards if you're interested in this stuff:
www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/02/27/get-rich-with-good-old-fashioned-hard-work/
lifeafterthedailygrind.com/the-ikea-effect-why-diy-brings-happiness/
To me projects like this are leisure time and getting the family involved in the project gives everyone the sense of achievement and quality time spent with each other. Some of my most treasured childhood memories are helping my father with various projects like this.
i have the dewalt nail guns, both first and second fix. Haven't had them too long but have had zero problems and would recommend!
That's two recommendations now. I'll definitely consider the Dewalt.
Can add my recommendation to the dewalt. Heavy but so much faster. Have the odd double nail shot but its awesome
Battery Hukoki all the way. Look at Scott Brown carpentry amazing machine.
I recommend using screws . Our fence has been up 18 years and we had to get access behind as the neighbour has a wall on other side . Screws will need to be replaced with fresh but dissasembly was so simple rather than problem of pulling nails . Regards Don
Number 6 all the way Ali. i see others have made that comment too. Although I like number 5 and have an excuse to buy tools, number 6 is something my wife will never understand! I'm just waiting until you decide your new garden needs another garden room!
Great Video Ali - outdid yourself again!
Heheh thanks Simon, I was a bit proud of it I must admit.
Lovely mate, i recently used the air framing nailer and had similar issues and i thought the gas ones will be better but clearly not... as u said, battery ones are the way forward
Probably already know but the 2nd fix nailer may be a better option for putting up feather edge boards 👍🏻
I’ve just finished a similar size fence albeit straighter. It cost me sround £1100 too. Luckily I already have the dewalt nail guns (first fix and finish) and they are perfect. I’m building a big shed at the moment and the ability to punch in 90mm nails with only one hand is a god send. Great job by the way
Nice! Good to have another data point on cost too 👍+ that's the third shoutout in this comment section for the Dewalt nailers- definitely on my list.
Just sat here planning my fence build and this pops up.
You going for closeboard Rhys?
Ali Dymock probably horizontal boards. Because mine is an urban setting I want a nice feature on my side and probably recycle the existing fence panels so the neighbour has something acceptable. The existing concrete posts are all skew-whiff after years of the panels being battered by the wind.
thank you for the thorough video - going to attempt it myself now. Given the mention of expansion, would it be wise to leave a gap between the bottom of the feather boards and the gravel board for vertical expansion as well? I'm thinking using a small spacer or shim whilst installing to leave a few mm gap afterwards might be a good idea.
I own the hikoki now and previously had the dewalt. Gas is a fath and the Hikoki seems just as powerful as gas powered to me :)
I totally agree on all six reasons.
😊
Looks great!
Don't forget the time aspect for DIY projects. You will (almost) always save money doing DIY but you are also likely to take longer, sometimes a lot longer, than a professional and that time needs to be taken into account. For regular jobs, such a decorating for example, it is worth DIY'ing, you will get faster, you will save a lot of money. For other jobs it sometimes worth paying someone else to do it. An example might be roofing, for most people having their house re-roofed is a once in a lifetime job and buying the equipment and learning to do it yourself is a false economy as you will never do it again so best to pay someone.
Your fence is a good example of something to DIY as it will need repairs in the future and replacing in 10-15 years.
Agreed. Originally my little bit at the end had the _cost of your time_ element but I cut that out on the final edit. Yeh that's a very good point about one off tools. Also there are things that professionals can get much cheaper - skips, scaffolding etc
@@AliDymock Yes definitely. I apply the same logic to car mechanics too. There are lots of jobs I can do on my car that require minimal tools and save me a lot of money, but there are complex, rare jobs that I could certainly learn to do and buy the equipment but it just isn't cost effective and would take me a lot longer than just letting my mechanic sort it.
I bought myself the Hikoki with 2 batteries for £400 before building a new shed and starting my own garden room project and so glad I did and would recommend it over the other 2. It will still split wood occasionally though, feather edge pales or ship lap struggle with the power they output.
Why the Hikoki over the other two?
Ali Dymock The dewalt has a really slow wind up and fire so you have to hold it in place for a couple of seconds each time. Hikoki just felt a bit more punchy than the Milwaukee for 90mm into framing timber. If you’re planning a tool platform switch then that’s as good a reason as any between the Hikoki and Milwaukee both excellent
lovely work! I love your comments at the end - very fitting for our digital age... get in the garden and get your hands dirty. thx
Very creditable effort, I'm a full time Landscaper with my own small company. I'm not sure how relevant the cost comparison between DIY and professional is as, just as you would expect I construct fences/patio's etc using many years experience and knowledge which allows me to work quickly, avoid mistakes a lack of experience may cause and practically and efficiently with jigs etc but taking a pride in my job. I only advertise on Checkatrade as lots of my work is recommendation/second /third jobs etc and my work is my advert. If you fall short you soon get rumbled in this industry that is so competitive. Also I use the PASLODE IM345 coiled nail gun and by far the best tips I can give are to make sure the gas canister is well within its use by date and to keep it clean, it is in fact a great tool with lots of different uses.
Thanks Andrew. Good to know about the Paslode, given the number of tradesmen who use them they must have a lot going for them, I just didn't get on with it on my first go on what looked like a heavily used one which I admit doesn't say a lot.
Oh and avoid aftermarket gas or nails, sounds like you had the perfect storm of a well used and perhaps less well looked after gun and aftermarket gas and nails. They are a joy to use when set up properly.
Great work Ali.
You deserve a good set of cordless tools. Can someone give Milwaukee or Makita a shout and tell them to send him a set? Hikoki could do with some exposure. If not, at least Ryobi.
Omg I’d be so happy if that happened, as long as I could remain impartial. Probably some way off in reality but I guess making do with what I have is more relatable for most and I can always save up like everyone else has to.
I expected you'd say something like that. Respect to you bro.
That's why I'm asking if any of the audience can pull some strings. Least we can do for all the help your videos have been.
If I knew how to, I'd do a crowdfund for it. I'd put £20 down towards a nail gun as a housewarming present, although I think a cordless saw might be most useful.
I installed my own fence on my property in the UK. Brought materials from fencing company. 7 panels (6ft x 6ft), 7 concrete posts (9ft), 7 concrete gravel boards (150mm x 50mm) & 16 bags of post crete for approx £450. Took a whole weekend too do but I'm not paying over the odds for a professional to do it (even though mines not 100% perfect it will do lol) I watched a fencing installtion video by Chris Longhurst
can fully recommend the hikoki. its a monster of a tool also really easy and accurate to adjust the depth for consistency too. used dewalt, paslode and now hikoki and its miles ahead, Milwaukee also uses the same system but you pay the red tax. lovely work btw, seen many a "pro fencer" do far worse.
thanks for the recommendation. I went with Dewalt in the end due to price. Only used the second fix so far but it's been great. I would have liked Hikoki or Milwaukee but first and second fix guns for £650 seemed like a good deal!
@@AliDymock certainly is a good deal and tbh i have heard few complaints about the second fix dewalt, its the first fix that simply isn't powerful enough even on the 3rd gen. will add though hikoki is very competitive on price. two cases 2 5.0 ah batts and first and second fix came to 750 for me.
Similar if buying the DeWalt, particularly if going used on eBay then avoid the type 1 models. For first fix dcn692 ideally get the type 3 model, more power than the type 2 and no jamming issues like on the type 1. You can see the type printed on the label that runs along the nail magazine, so look out for it in the eBay pictures if going used.
Hi Ali, greetings from Greece. Love your videos and also love to be able to say: "Yeah I built that!".
BTW consider going into your youtube settings and automatically block comments with links. I just saw a comment withe a rather "interesting" link...
👋Greetings from the UK! Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into that setting now. I guess you've made it on RUclips when you start getting spam lol.
I have the first gen paslode as you used on this video which I bought from Facebook marketplace for £80. Most of them for sale as spares or repair only need a new battery and/or basic service which consists of a clean and lubrication. I buy the generic nail and gas packs from ebay which come to around £18-21 for 1100 nails and gas inc next day delivery which is around half the price you would expect to pay at TS, SF. I think the paslodes are very hit and miss, some working flawlessly and others giving endless greif. They seem to be very sensitive to poor or infrequent service interval. I certainly would withhold any conclusion until you have run one not sourced from a rental company. I've run around 2000 nails through mine without any issue but mileage may vary! The Milwaukees do look great. I may pick one up when next in the states.
Thanks for the info on this. I tend to just enjoy building rather than tinkering with tools and the easier to use the better for me so I actually went for the Dewalt pair (1st and 2nd fix) and they've been great but everyone seems to have their favourite and builders do tend to prefer Paslode. Milwaukee was out of my price bracket unfortuantely.
I think a lot of the issues you had with the nailgun were down to (a) the fact it was a hire unit, and (b) you were using non-original nails and gas. I have both a framing and finishing Paslode nailer and can honestly say I have not had a single problem with either - in over 30,000 nails and brade, all original Paslode items.
Definitely. They’re obviously good otherwise professionals wouldn’t use them but I do think they are for professionals. If you just want to fire a few nails and find your gas has gone bad or having to clean it out is just a pain for the casual DIYer.
On the advanatages, you left out all the firewood from the off cuts
I reckon a Ryobi gun might be a good investment. I had a cheapTacwise when I did my fence (70') and it did the job. I cheated though and attached the posts with metal clamp brackets to existing concrete ones and left next door's existing chain link fencing in situ! But that's cos I'm a girlie and need every bit of strength I can save...and I HATE digging holes! :-)
Hey, whatever works right? I think the Ryobi looks good but I've actually gone for the pair of Dewalt guns - the first and second fix-love 'em!
@@AliDymock Well jealous!
Ali sorry confused with the way the fence is done have you got the nice feather edge facing into the garden ?
I think you’d have to watch 1 and 2 to get the gist, but no, the pales face the other way towards the woodland. The arris rail side is the garden side 👍
Ali Dymock I did lol but forgot thought you had done it the other way given people a lander over the fence lol
I would always factor in the tools to do the job. A nail gun would have saved you the hire cost and hassle that went with a rental paslode, plus you then have it for future projects.
Yeh I’m always in favour of buying over hiring. My breaker for example-no brainier. But £500 odd is an awful lot and with what’s going on at the moment I was just really hesitant, especially as I wasn’t sure which type or brand to buy.
However if I do get one I may as well get it soon with projects ahead rather than later when they’re mostly done.
My other struggle is that it feels like I’m not just choosing a nail gun but a whole brand for all future cordless tools because the batteries are by far the biggest cost. I want to get a couple and then have them work with all my cordless tools. Toughy!
A pneumatic coil nail gun is the way forward bro, they hold between 3 to 4 hundred nails. Unfortunately they're air powered and only work off a compresser... Saying that, there may be cordless ones out there but I haven't come across any. Fence and gates look shit-hot mate 👍
Cheers buddy. Yeh pneumatic seems great and cheap too but I just can't be lugging around a compressor!
@@AliDymock. Lol yeah.. You'd also need a 300 foot extension cable.. 😁
Good work as always. Hope your both well. Just dropped you an email by the way.
Got it 👍
Go with dewalt i had a paslode and your problems are as common as rain in Cumbria.
I went dewalt with a twin kit of the first and second fix nail guns. I'll never go paslode again.
I've literally just bought the twin kit from Dewalt! Only tried the second fix so far but loving it 👍
@@AliDymockawesome tools. You can't go wrong with the xr brushless stuff.
Brushless is a tad more to buy, but the increase in power and run time are worth every penny.
Plus dewalt are smaller easier to handle and clip/hang when working and need another tool or both hands.
I love dewalt. I was always a makita guy, but found dewalt to be a better tool overall. Charge times, run times customer service/support.
New fencing on brackets hurts my brain, overlapping should be more than showed to avoid big gaps
You'll have had to catch the first one to see why I used brackets. So far no gaps :)
Should of rented a air compressor and nail gun, that would of been way better as them paslode are absolutely shit. Great job anyways and love the tree cut outs 👍
So interesting reading the comments on the options on nail guns. They all differ which probably means they’re all decent options for the right person/job
This was a fantastic mini series but not a chance in hell would I be building a fence around tree trunks ha ha - either go infront of it (give away some of your land), go behind it (claiming new land if you have the balls), or as a last resort chop the damn thing down (if you have huge balls).
😊I wouldn’t do it your way but he gave me a smile
Don't baulk at the cost of things in the south east, here in the Highland if we can get the materials we have to pay as much again for delivery and find someone to come out and do the job is virtually impossible, it's taken me two years to find a painter to work on the exterior of the house. I never did find a gas safe plumber willing to travel out to install my cooker, we are talking 30 miles from Inverness so less time than it would take to travel 10 miles down your way.
Yikes. That sounds like a nightmare! Maybe I should be more appreciative of the array of tradesmen down here. Still, you have beautiful scenery to make up for it!
@@AliDymock Its the penalty we pay for living in such a wonderful place where I can drive 30 miles to work in 35 mins and see less than 6 cars on the way.
Sounds pleasant, plus timber frame is popular up there so that's a win! I hear you get a lot of moss growing on your cars though lol
@@AliDymock And there lays the problem. It is damp and moss grows everywhere, so the only reason timber frame is popular is because we have no local source to make bricks or concrete blocks. But timber frames rot in the damp air and so I am thankful my house is a concrete block construction, I even built my garage/workshop in concrete block and fully insulated. I hate to think what will happen to the timber frames that are 20+ years old and put up in our rainy season (50 weeks of the years:-))
£4k ?! Thatd be a cheap fencer... decent fence contract to do that would be nearly a week of work and probably £6k
Point of order Mr D.... you are creating something very tangible with all of these videos. On the basis carpentry and similar techniques wonlt change much over the next century... imagine who could be looking at your RUclips legacy in future generations!
Very cool thought. I reckon there will be a construction revolution at some point but if nothing else I can look back and see what I was up to in my early 30s, if youtube is still around of course :)
