Fencing: The Ultimate Guide | Gates from Scratch (2 of 3)

- In this mini-series I'm building a close board feather-edge fence. This video covers mending a gate post, building the gates, understanding how to brace a gate to prevent sagging and attaching hinges. For a first attempt, I'm really happy with how the fence turned out.
Relationship with Evolution
It feels a bit odd to get free stuff but I made sure prior to accepting that there was no commitment to making a video or review and hence why I've not mentioned it before now. I had been planning on buying an Evolution mitre saw when I came across the Parkside in Lidl so I was keen to try it out and I think it's a good fit for viewers of the channel. This isn't a sponsorship or paid promotion but the links below to Evolution tools are affiliate. I've checked other sellers and the Evolution site seems to be equal or less £ than others (but do look around). You can use this link with the code 'ALIDYMOCK5 ' to get a 5% discount on any product: shop.evolutionpowertools.com/...
Below are the tools and materials used for the whole project, not just this video. The timber, postcrete and arris brackets came from countrysupplies.uk.com/ (deliver 40 mile radius around High Wycombe in SE England).

EVOMS Can't wait for next garden room vid. Keep 'em coming Ali. 👍
EVOMS - Good tip about going steeper than 45 degrees. I had always thought it should only be 45 degrees. Thanks very much I will use that with the work I am planning.
EVOMS perfect timing on these videos as I am currently at the start of the same fencing project
EVOMS - perfect for the lockdown workshop!
EVOMS - Can't fault your videos for explanations of why you do what you do, and how.
EVOMS Great videos, been watching since the garden room, and now this pops up along with the gate video just as I need to do the same in a couple of weeks
EVOMS - A new mitre saw would definitely help with my garden build!
EVOMS. Always spot on info and entertaining at the same time. Great job 👍
EVOMS - thanks Ali, for this and all the detail and lessons you're passing on to us DIYers. May your channel and success continue to grow. Cheers.
EVOMS - Keep the videos coming Ali, such great informative and entertaining info.
EVOMS - love how detailed each video you make is. Have watched your workshop series over and over - I'm about to start building a small shed as practice run for building our garden home office
EVOMS - Brilliantly timed series as I'm about to launch into fencing around our extension to our kitchen garden. I watched fencers at the local building site putting up fences and making it look very easy. But your series actually tells me what I really need to do! Thanks.
EVOMS. Another great video Ali. Love the post extension, it will soon become less obvious with weathering.👍
EVOMS - Found your channel last weekend and have since binged watched the whole of the garden room series as we are currently clearing the ground to build one in our own garden, albeit with a pitched roof. Admire your attention to detail and the research that you do, and enjoyed watching your skills evolve as the project progressed. Like most posters would love the EVO saw but, for now, the content of your videos is the most important thing - keep 'em comin'!
EVOMS There’s nothing like the seal of approval from your significant other. This would be invaluable for the retaining sleeper bank, workshop renovation and chicken coop we are going to build. Not forgetting saving our elbows. Great content.
EVOMS. Loving the mini series on your garden fence project Ali. I'm glad to see you are putting in as much detail as you did with the garden room videos 👍
EVOMS Love all your videos, best bit is they show you don't have to be scared of DIY. Plus there well explained..... I'll be starting my Garden office late this year.
Exactly. Mistakes happen, but nearly all can be solved with a bit of thought!
EVOMS - This would be a great prize to win, as I am about to start my garden building project (A physiotherapy room for my brother who has cerebral palsy) within the next few weeks, I was quoted over £25000 by a company to build one to my specifications which is simply out of my price bracket (I'm a carer), then I found your build series and thought I would build it myself following your instructions, I have zero experience in building anything and no power tools to work with at the moment and I have just purchased a hammer, hand saw, and a spirit level set. Thanks for taking the time to showcase your build and giving us novices the confidence to build our own garden room : )
EVOMS loved your garden room series and enjoying this one too, right balance of entertainment and information for anyone looking to tackle projects themselves like me! Saw would be very handy for that!
EVOMS - Your videos are amazing!! They're really in depth with great explanations. I'll be using your videos for my garden room and fence this summer!! Thanks for the hard work, keep it up.
EVOMS - Great tips and explanations, as always. I’ve been using my brothers mitre/chop saw to build a garden room over the last few months so it’s about time I had my own so he can have his back! 😀 Your garden room series was very useful to me. Keep it up
EVOMS Another great video. I always like how you include your mistakes and how you fixed the issue. Makes me feel better when I make an error knowing I'm not the only one. Looking forward to more in your series.
EVOMS - your'e doing a great job and have an excellent delivery in terms of theory and practical
EVOMS - both your garden building and this fencing series are very well explained and presented. Thanks
EVOMS Really enjoying this series. I love the fact you recycled the existing post. I used a cheap table saw for half lap joints on my gate, but it’s tough doing the laps at the midpoint.
EVOMS - excellent walkthrough as usual!!
EVOMS - Enjoying this series as much as I did the garden room build. Always very detailed which is great.
EVOMS started my garden room build following watching your series. Love your videos, already looking forward to part 3 of the fencing vids
EVOMS - I'm building the exact same double doors for my workshop. Really well timed video. Thanks!
EVOMS. I love the detail you go into in all your videos, your garden room series is my go to videos whilst I’m planning a workshop 👍
EVOMS so happy seeing what you are up too ! keep up the good work
EVOMS I didn't think I'd enjoy the gates videos as much as your others, but actually so far I have. Given me some ideas of my own project. Thanks.
EVOMS - great video, as usual! Especially appreciate the info in the video description!
EVOMS as usual great detail and explanation in the videos, also really glad you are continuing on to other topics now the garden room is basically complete.
EVOMS I am so jealous of the way your garden backs out into the woodlands ❤️
Nice job on the gates 👍
EVOMS - really enjoying this and your previous garden room series. Have taken plenty of tips away especially from the garden room and hope to put some of them to use in my upcoming garage conversion project
EVOMS
Love your detail mate, thanks to your effort and patience!! Keep it up and looking forward to the next one!
EVOMS Starting my garden office build later in the year. Using your vids every step of the way. Many thanks! 👍
EVOMS Thanks for the workshop series. Very informative.
EVOMS love how in depth your vids are. Keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻
EVOMS - thanks for this series Ali, really helpful as I am about to embark on a similar project. Great that you mention mistakes you make along the way so others can avoid - top class !
EVOMS! Loving your vids. Looking forward to seeing how the refurb develops, and hopefully the garden room finsihed off too!
EVOMS Always look forward to your videos, expertly explained and narrated
Thanks Ben!
EVOMS - Great vid again Ali. Love your attention to detail and the information you give on all the projects. Got a load of 4x2s to cut soon to make some garden furniture and the Evo saw would be perfect! All the best
EVOMS - another very informative video and the new house looks awesome!
EVOMS - Great source for information. When you are approaching a DIY job and have little or no experience in the task, this type of guidance (i.e. being able to actually SEE the theory and techniques being applied) is extremely valuable. RUclips put to its best use, and a great example of one persons learning curve shortening that of others. Thank you.
EVOMS - your videos have been a godsend as I'm currently building a garden room/shed, very useful indeed!
EVOMS - Love your diligent approach to DIY, looking forward to part 3.
EVOMS - Another great video Ali, thank you.
EVOMS - yes, agree with others that you’re very good at explaining the process. I probably won’t be building a gate or fence anytime soon but loved the garden room series!
EVOMS - Really useful video as always Ali. My partner and I have just bought our first house so I'm finally able to put all I learn from your videos into practice. Thanks
EVOMS lots of neat ideas here. Hats off to you
EVOMS - just finished my garden room thanks to this channel.
EVOMS - Garage gym build about to begin my stud work journey. Really found your channel massively helpful. Particularly the insulation and stud work on the summer room build you did. Thanks - keep great content coming
EVOMS - The garden office is almost clad and now moving on to building a fence so really useful to have these videos
EVOMS, really like your videos they are very easy to follow, im about to start an outside building project and found your step by step guide very helpful, it answered alot of questions I had.
EVOMS - another great set of videos Ali thanks.
EVOMS Great set of videos. House hunting at the moment and one of the criteria is definitely a garden suitable for me to have a go at building my own garden room!
EVOMS Another cracking video mate. I’m looking to start a garden room like the one you did at your old house and this would help a lot. Thanks for the very informative vids, they’re appreciated. All the best, Russ.
EVOMS - great video, I’m in the process of planning my garden room build, your videos have been very useful 👍🏼
I enjoy the approach you take in explaining each project. Well done. EVOMS
EVOMS. Please keep making these, they are invaluable to the even more casual DIY er!
EVOMS - Great content as always and appreciate the time you take to explain every aspect. Very educational
EVOMS - and many thanks for the informative content which has me feeling I could possibly tackle some stuff I would previously have considered beyond me
EVOMS, Thank you for your videos, very informative and a pleasure to watch.
EVOMS - Loving the content. Can’t wait for the last part in the fence/gate building series.
EVOMS - Keep it up mate, your videos always go into so much detail👍 quality as always
EVOMS - just love the details you go into in your series, keep them coming 👍
EVOMS - I do love these vidoes, the way they are explained and then shown really help me understand what to do in situations like these. would love to see you do a set about pergolas or gazebos after your fence and workshop is is done.
EVOMS - great video as always. Like the fact, that you're honest about your mistakes, so we can all (hopefully) avoid them.
EVOMS halfway through my garden workshop build, your videos are a godsend!
EVOMS - thanks for the great content Really interesting to follow your builds and approach to solving challenges (problems)!
EVOMS - Been following since the garden room series. Brilliant channel. Glad your back.
EVOMS - I love your vids, really good at explaining how to actually make stuff!
EVOMS - really enjoying this series. Very thorough as always!
EVOMS - Another great video at just the right time for building a shed door. Thanks.
EVOMS - very useful when I finally start my garden Room 😂
Evoms. Loved the garden room series now watching the fence series, brilliant as ever.
EVOMS great mini series. Keep up the good work
EVOMS - another great video, cheers Ali!
EVOMS :) Got to make a gate this weekend, so this is a timely series! Thank you.
EVOMS Really enjoying this series and loving the new place, what a spot!
EVOMS - this series is so timely as I need to do exactly this. Learn so much from your problems along the way but most importantly your ingenious remedies, liking your style. 👍
EVOMS- great series and lots of great tips and info.... planning new fencing myself, just need a good mitre saw to help with the job!
EVOMS - This video is great, I've been following you since you first started.... I was going to go for a garden building (How I originally found your channel) but opted to convert half of my garage (preserving valuable garden space!)! That said, I am doing some fencing and making my own gate in the next month or so so this video is SPOT ON!. Love your technical explanations mate. Very engaging and encouraging - Keep up the good work
EVOMS - loved this and your Garden room Series
EVOMS - loving these video series
EVOMS currently planning my garden room/workshop. Your videos have been invaluable!
EVOMS. Great video Ali! I need to replace a sagging back gate, and this has given me the confidence to attempt it myself.
EVOMS - Another excellent video Ali. Your explanations and DIY’er logic are quite frankly the best I’ve come across on RUclips. Keep it up. Would love the Evo saw - my next project in the next couple of months will be a lean-to pergola against the house. Not having built such a large timber structure before, I’m sure the Evo will make things a whole lot easier for me!
EVOMS - another great series, I’m about to set myself to building a man cave/workshop combo replacing the growing kids trampoline with a den for them and a workshop for me. Your videos are just great and I love the technical bits as I really learn something rather than just learning how to dream! But first things first I need to redo my fencing (man cave needs a secure garden....) thanks again
EVOMS - Planning to build a garden room as a home office. Watched your garden room videos which have been very useful for planning out how to build my own
EVOMS - Watched all your work Ali, the Garden room was extremely informative. So this Vid is all EVO!.. EVO-lution and EVO-stik.. Lol... Fantastic grounds of your new house and tonnes of potential for building content for us to enjoy. Cheers Ali. Chris Jones 👍
EVOMS - Thank you for a great video lesson on adding to a post height and building your own gate. You’ve helped me on how to build a good strong shed base for my beach hut project, and what bolts to use to secure to the dense blocks (still yet to buy the bolts, but thank you again for link and responding to my message). This is my next job as my gate posts are rotten. The EVO Mitre Saw would help me enormously as only have a good old fashioned hand saw.
EVOMS Yet again another excellent detailed build video. Well done Ali it's looking great.
EVOMS - Thanks Ali, constantly quality content with so much detail. Keep it up!
EVOMS - love it especially when this type of quality content is made in the UK..keep them coming brother
EVOMS love the details you put into your videos. Keep it up.
EVOMS - The fence is looking great Ali
EVOMS. Excellent detail in your videos, thank you.
