8 years old but best video I have seen so far! Thanks for the idea
Wow, thanks!
This idea is brilliant! Most would probably go to all of the work of removing the posts and installing 4x4's. I'm not all that familiar with the hardware/fasteners for building so when I see someone use different ones it helps me to think outside the box. Thanks
JW Pookie I have a wood fence from the previous homeowner and I'm looking at replacing wood posts with steel. It's going to be a board on board privacy fence.
Interesting way to do it. I just made column boxes out of 2x4's and 2x'6's and sheathed all my sch40 poles. Then I just secured the wooden columns to the poles with self tapping screws (they have to be pre-drilled obviously). Then from there you just build a wooden fence like you would normally.
You did a very good job. I've built at least 100 fences in many different ways.
excellent work sir.
Thank you for this info! This looks like a great way to build a fence to prevent wood rot. I'm in Florida, and with all the rain here, I was looking for a way to avoid wood rot.
thanks, it was a way bigger project than I thought. If I did it again I would do a more simple fence design with less wood. The full 2x4 cedar top rail was an expensive detail over 200 feet!
That's awesome idea. Good job. Thank you for sharing your experience. 👍🤙🙂
Hey this really helped me figure out how to re use my existing chain link posts, Thanks MUCH!
Glad it helped!
I'm getting married next month we have a huge backyard we want to use but the front yard is ugly :( especially cuz we have a chain link fence and it's worn out and bent and not very nice at all. The poles or mounted on concrete but are still real good. Knowing I can use the post for the picket fence is going to save me tons of money and labor. Thanks for sharing :)
this is exactly like a house I stayed at in Portlandia, I saw it and was like I want to do that. And then I watched 12 videos about post rot and was like ugh, never want to repair rotten fence posts ever again, after that one time when I had to do 20 new posts and rails for 180 ft of fence. Pressure treated mind you.
Great job, very clever way to maintain the wood look while having the stronger pipe left in place. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. I want to re-do my fence with the existing metal poles like you did to save time, money and pain. Thanks.
Just came across this video and would like to tell anyone looking to replicate this method they no longer sell or make those fence brackets anymore so don’t bother spending the time looking. Went to site in the video and used link and they are no longer around anywhere. Such a shame because this is a amazing method and was a great product for wrapping metal fence poles.
You can still get a similar bracket here at Amazon amzn.to/3SDV3Pd
thanks for the kind words, always learning.
I have 320' on one side and 260' on another and about 150 on the ends. So I have an enormous amount of wood. Fences like these take years to finish if it's a one man show and can go in range from 20-40K and up. A fence like this alone can immeasurably boost your homes value. There isn't a single nail in my fence, it's all coated screws. Expensive and time consuming, but nothing should ever back out.
Great video. I'm a use this technique because I don't want the rails on the outside of the fence. It's to many kids in my neighborhood that like to climb.
That looks great. We’re going to attempt something like this, fingers crossed lol
I'm sure you can do it.
@@SolarBurrito we did! 👍
Thanks for the idea with the metal posts. I'm about to replace my fence soon. My neighbor got a price quote to replace 30 feet of fence for $1000 using cedar and metal posts. I'm certain I can replace the fence for a much cheaper cost.
Thank you. Exactly what we needed.
I did both, You can bend them, somtimes it's hard to cover with wood though it is strong. Other corners I cut off one side of the bracket and use a normal fence 2x4 hanger to make the connection.
I like what you did with your fence. Great concept.
you did a beautiful job
nice, better than using wood posts that rot!
Looks really good man.
love the fence style too.
I’m trying to figure out how to do a horizontal fence with those posts
Great advice,...thanks. I was looking for something like this for one of my up-coming jobs. Looks soooo much cleaner. Nice video too.
Looks nice. I wish you would had actually shown the installing steps. Can this be done to create a wooden gate where I have a chain link gate out of the two poles?
How is the fence holding up after all of these years? Is there any leaning? Have you had any of the brackets Bend from wind pressure?
I would like to know the same! Thanks.
@@showgunscontractors1368 do you have these brackets? Just asking as they were discontinued some time ago. I happen to have some of the non wrap ones.. so they are shorter and the rail install can be between posts but I just ran them over the front of the posts to guarantee wind tolerance/resistance since we are in a high wind storm area and everything I read said to always build the fence face in direct opposition if the prevailing winds. I installed those on 100+ feet for 3-4 years now and I am just finishing installing another 115ft.
@@showgunscontractors1368 I forgot I have installed the smaller version of this bracket at two different properties in two different states over the last five years and they are still going strong but I did the face mounting.
The brackets are fine but my fence is leaning where it's on a steep slope and the footings are only 6" deep. So I suppose the fence is only as good as it's footings. But the brackets are quite strong even with 10' panels in places.
@@snobud86 that’s fabulous Liz!
I’m so bummed I can’t find those brackets anywhere. Love how well they allow the poles to cover up.
Cool - am going to do the same to my fence - great idea! Thank you!
Looks very good. Cedar 2x4's ouch! Not cheap, but very nice. I just used fir 2x4's and 2x6's. But keep in mind my fence will be painted with liquid armor resurfacer. I have 1.25 acres to fence. Cedar columns for me would have just been way over budget. Looks great. Can tell you take pride in your work.
With 2x4 sides and 1x6 front and back pieces on your posts, your final dimensions should have been 5" x 5.5" rather than 5.5" x 5.5" like a true 1x6. How were you able to find post caps to fit? Or were you able to square the posts up somehow?
Any chance you have photos or video showing the full completed project? Would like to see the opposite side on how you hid the brackets from your neighbors view. We're considering this but don't want to force our new neighbors into seeing that.
Aaron Frazier why not use Square tube in place of the original posts?
Looking from the neighbor's side, the metal tabs are hidden under the pickets.
Thanks
I was wondering how you would add a gate?
That looks awesome!
You do fence installs too. I'll throw in a case of beer!
I've tried these, and the width from the outside of one 2x4 to the other is a full 6 inches, not 5.5 inches for a 1x6 picket.
Nice job. Gives me some great ideas
Do you know where I can find brackets? I've looked online and can't find. Any help would be appreciated!!
These are the new style brackets: amzn.to/3SqQQ0K
what are those bracket call ?
can you please show how you did the corner. I understand you bent them, but I'm not sure how to enclose the pole.
pretty clean
Looks great. I'm trying to copy your design. When you show the fence on the slope you mention that part of metal bracket was still showing on the neighbors side of the fence. How did you end up handling that? On my mock up I'm seeing the same problem but I'm unsure what to do about it. Thanks for sharing!
Did you have to cut some pickets inbetween the posts? What were the post measurments?
Hi I'm fixing to install a horizontal picket fence with metal posts. I was going to attach the pickets directly to the posts with screws, is there anything wrong with doing it this way? Will there be a chance that water with rust out the post and screws? Any suggestions on doing a horizontal fence without buying 4x4 post and attaching them to the metal posts?
Great idea buddy
IS THAT RECYCLED WOOD YOU USED FOR THE FENCE ?
can you link to the product you show that wraps around the post and screws in. Ozpost large brackets - i couldn't find them on the ozco website. Thanks!
I dig it . . .
thanks, always learning...
Cool
What covers the huge holes in the fence boards?! The gaps are terrible also!
Another fence board is used to create a box, you can see the final look in video.
I don't know if anyone is able to answer this, but I notice that the oz-post brackets are made for 2 3/8" OD steel posts, while the vast majority of chain link posts in the world are 1 7/8" OD (i.e., line poles). Does anyone know if these brackets can be used with the smaller poles (e.g., using an adapter or bending them) ? To the author if this video - did you have all 2 3/8" posts ?? Thanks!
Look at this selection of options for brackets: amzn.to/4fnXE9a
How did you do the corners with those brackets? Are they flexible where you just need to bend them into plafe? Or is the a different bracket you used?
I like it!!!
Im getting that oz post. Thanks
Oh. Cool
Any suggestions for 3 1/2" posts? So frustrating trying to find online.
U bolts
@Tigress🐅 found a cheap alternative. Used threaded rod and made my own u-bolts.
Can’t find those amazing Oz Post brackets Anywhere!!

I cant find thoes exact long brackets who sells them? cam anyone tell me?
amzn.to/3SDV3Pd
ya I guess I do know!
I have a chain link fence, my current metal posts are about 3- 4 ft tall. is it possible to build a 6 ft fence same as you did using those metal posts ? or not really since they are too short?
Dean Taleb yes
What Cody said!
How is your fence holding up?
Still going strong.
were the 2x4 you used basic 2x4?? or are they cedar? I live in the Midwest and wonder if 2x4 would survive the elements
It was all cedar. Regular 2x4s won't survive long.
How did you spend ?
I don’t see these on Amazon can u help me out

How did u modify the bracket at the corner of the fence?
I bent them
Love your design. May I ask where you got your post caps?
chrisbinlbc local lumbar yard had them.
Why did you put gaps it between your fence boards? That is a big NONO, they will eventually get wider
please elaborate. i understand gaps are needed to accommodate expansion and contraction
I used dry cedar in summer so the boards aren't going to contract anymore. They will actually swell when it's wet so l left tiny gaps to prevent buckling.
Nick, Nick, Nick…
Your description is misleading. You are not showing how to build a fence using metal posts. You are only showing what how to box in the posts.
Well this is the key information that is not common. If you need to know how to build a regular fence there are several videos on the subject.
It's a good video, for sure. I still think the title is misleading, that's all. Thanks
NVM - found it (and apparently you cant post links anymore)
where?
Can you do my fence too? lolz
Why does anyone put up chainlink unless it a kennel or something. It'a the ugliest a** sh*t
Snifty.
Why didn’t you show how you did it😂😂😂

Try to do it with Stodoys plans :)
You may go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself guys.
