Dude your a legend! Thanks for all the details ur the man

I’m here because I saw this fence and I want one like it so I’m making my husband do it like this lol

@workshop_edits 9 днів тому

Hey you sound a lot like my wife! I would recommend doing it asap before it gets hot…👀

@soneiswild 8 місяців тому

u did rly well with the project it came out amazing , loving the video presentation and glad u r ok after that heat exhaustion, taking care of ur body is the number one rule and this big project remind us all to be kind to our bodies

I use those electric Augers religiously. Definitely a must for any fence builder

Yea it’s easily the best $200 you can spend

That is wonderful . Thanks for teach me..now i have some idea how made.thanks 😊

@jewdd1989 8 місяців тому

The only change I’d personally make is adding a dado to the posts in the ground to keep that hog wire in place just like you did for the top and bottom boards and really it’s to prevent the wire from bending and deforming plus it just looks great but other than that one minor change it’s beautiful, there’s just something about hog wire fencing that I can’t get over! In fact I want to add basically the same exact fence including height and spacing, for my garden to keep my bell pepper thief named Sawyer from plucking off the ones that I guess remind him of balls. And I just think it’s such a sleek, modern yet practical and cheap fence solution for smaller front yards and gardens, decking, etc. glad you recovered from heat stroke

@workshop_edits 8 місяців тому

That is actually a very good idea and i think the alternative less "committal" version of that is actually retroactively adding pressure treated strips on each side to squeeze it together which I am personally likely going to do in a few weeks to keep it straight. We fell in love with this look while on a trip in Austin and my hope is more people see this in my area and take it on - for only $1300 (and $0 in labor and hospital bills) it's a VERY sleek look. Good luck with your build and pesky friend!

i was undecided between cable railing or hog mesh, but yours looks nice i think i am going with hog style, but HD and Lowes have some bad reviews about these Wild Hog panel they rusting at the weld or when powder coating scratched off, they don't seem to be galvanized, they are also quite expensive at $66 for 3 ft x 6 ft......... I found at Tractor Supply, same 6 gauge, 4"x4" square at only $69 for 5 ft x 16 ft, and they are galvanized will be much more rust resistant, black looks nicer so i may use black rubber spray on them

@DannyKezar 27 днів тому

Be careful in the heat. Glad you're ok now though. To everyone, you MUST learn to work with the heat. No shame in getting shade and water every 30 minutes or so in heat like that. Especially in direct sunlight. Be careful out there and never stop making. 💪😎

@workshop_edits 25 днів тому

yea - the heat, excessive work, and excess heat caused by the black fabric just completely overdid it for me; was no going back unfortunately once it hit

@e.a.7265 Місяць тому

Electrolytes electrolytes electrolytes replenishment when working outside in the heat of the day in SoCal. I don’t know where you are in SoCal , but there is a place in Claremont that sells a lot of stuff including hog or cattle panel. The place is called C&E. Otherwise, there is a tractor supply store in Norco. The project turned out to be awesome. 👏🏻

@workshop_edits Місяць тому

Yea I was doing Gatorade’s and Liquid IVs but it was clear that the heat just fully outpaced my body’s limits. It was all amplified by the black lawn fabric. Easily made it 10° hotter. Just brutal.

@rostamr4096 7 місяців тому

since I will be working by myself, I really like the idea of make those jigs...

@nmartin5551 28 днів тому

Nice looking fence! I was contemplating something similar in a much less visible area, where I currently just have Tposts and wire fence. It doesn’t need to be “better”, but it would look better.

@workshop_edits 27 днів тому

Yea I think aesthetics of this fence are just on point and I’d love to see more of it pop up in my area

@chrisfisher3900 20 днів тому

Holy crap man I did my fence like this and paid $32 for 16’x36” panels. Nice looking fence though. Still cheaper than contracting it out. In total mine was around 90’ long with two gates and came to right around $600 total all in.

@workshop_edits 14 днів тому

Yea I think a lot of it is about the exact style you want or the stores around you - I did see some bigger cheaper options through Tractor Supply but I don’t live near one and the style was slightly off from what I wanted - thinner gauge, raw silver color, and the squares were much bigger but for sure many options out there!

@rostamr4096 7 місяців тому

This is a great and very helpful video. What is the best way to increase the height of these styles of fence? I like these hug wire fences as they are pre-manufactured but I need a higher fence for my dog. Thank you for any suggestions.

@workshop_edits 7 місяців тому

You cannot realistically unless you fabricate your own or find taller ones that are sold by a different company

@dirkhardin1408 Місяць тому

I have the same issue. Personally, I will extend the 4x4 to allow another railing over the post and bridge 2x2 pt cuts of 6" every 2' oc to give it the extra height needed. Overall height of the fence will be 50".

@kenneylee8431 Місяць тому

In my area these panels come in heights up to 6 feet. Such a fence would require an intermediate stringer between the top and bottom.

@StormKingPNW Місяць тому

Nice fence, and thanks for the great video! A couple comments: -Digging manual post holes is possible, and really sucks. I just did this with a digger bar and clamshell digger - it takes forever and is pretty hard work. -I did treated 2"x4" rails horizontally with 1"x2" strips on either side of the wire all the way around to hold it in place. Extra materials, but the water treatment isn't compromised and it looks different but also good. -You're in southern California so I'm guessing it's less of a big deal, but when you cut treated wood you need to re-treat the cut ends. Especially along that ripped edge because the wood is no longer protected from water, and with the notch penetrating even deeper into the board you've got a pretty significant exposure to the elements / pests / etc.

@workshop_edits 29 днів тому

Good to know about treated wood; i see myself, to some extent, replacing the wooden stretchers with new 2x4s in a few years and ill make sure to pre-finish the grooves; also drilling small drainage holes can help a lot as well for this. Cheers

@StormKingPNW 29 днів тому

@@workshop_edits looks really good, hope it lasts for you and you don't have to replace the rails anytime soon!

@IDAHOJAKE 8 днів тому

Idk why but when I built my 6 ft fence I dug by hand. Next time getting an augur. If you didn’t have an augur you can use a dirt breaker bar. To loosen up hard impacted dry dirt

@workshop_edits 8 днів тому

No shot I was doing that in the 100° heat. God bless that auger.

@Gleadogg5150 4 години тому

Awesome!! Quick question... Regarding the dado that was cut on the bottom stringer to accept the hogwire fencing, would that dado just now be a place for water to sit and eventually ruin the piece? Asking because I don't have experience with it and honestly don't know. Looks great, though!

@workshop_edits 4 години тому

Technically yes. The way to avoid the issue which I didn’t film or talk about (my bad) is just to drill some relief holes for drainage. I was also told that the exposed wood is no longer treated so you might wanna put a sealant on it as back up.

@derekprice7637 4 дні тому

Just a good note, tractor supply sells oakbrand feed panels 8 foot by 50 inches for 22 dollars

@workshop_edits 4 дні тому

I did look into those - unfortunately the nearest Tractor Supply is 90 miles away and didn’t even carry those! I also just for some reason thought they looked a lot cheaper than the Home Depot ones but 100% a good budget friendly alternative

@abelcanahui3459 6 місяців тому

Any word on how the wire has held up? How was the quality of the wire from factory? I’ve heard some fences rust shortly after install.

@workshop_edits 6 місяців тому

The wire Home Depot sells is coated in a black paint so the metal isn’t actually exposed so it should hold up indefinitely

@BellevueFencing 20 днів тому

nice!

@workshop_edits День тому

Thanks!

@user-tx3or6gu5f 2 місяці тому

How did you secure the wire fence to the vertical members?

@workshop_edits 2 місяці тому

It’s not secured - it’s only secured between the horizontal ridges. But after 6 months one thing I’ve considered adding is vertical stretchers just to tie it together a little but it’s not needed. It would only help to keep the fence completely flat versus bowing slightly one way or another

@63CommonSense 3 місяці тому

Did you seal the wood with something? Did you paint the hogwire?

@workshop_edits 3 місяці тому

The wood is pressure treated so no need to do any treatments. The hogwire comes painted with an exterior black paint form Home Depot

@BrittanySmith-tt9wg 24 дні тому

Hi! Do you have a link or can you share the info about the dado blade size to use?

@workshop_edits 24 дні тому

I would reco half inch, and don't cut / space things too tight where the top and bottom stretcher s squeeze the fence panelling / bends it. With wood expanding and contracting - more space to have things floating prevents railings from warping or cracking since the steel won't move with it.

@jqspiller7202 5 місяців тому

Did you stain that pressure-treated wood?

@workshop_edits 5 місяців тому

nope; just the end pieces where fresh cuts exposed the wood so it would match

Fence! I've gotten some obscene quotes out my way and I think I could DIY!@@workshop_edits

@workshop_edits 2 місяці тому

I think all in for the fence it was $1000 for wood, fence, rocks, concrete, and hardware. And my own labor which as you can see nearly sent me to the hospital haha

@GabrielleBakerlis 2 місяці тому

More than reasonable and you did an incredible job!

@Butlerwilliamp1986 3 місяці тому

It’s not more expensive to do yourself, 16’ long cattle panels at tractor supply are $25. So $17.50 per 8’ without the wood. The wood for each 8’ section is a lot cheaper than $72.50, which is what it would need to cost to amount to $90 per like in the video. Doing yourself is almost always cheaper

@workshop_edits 2 місяці тому

In SoCal we have no access to those $40 units; having seen them though, they look cheap aesthetically, are not uniform, and are raw matte steel color versus the matte black look, and I have a hunch will rust given its galvanized steel. You get what you pay for - I paid for quality and aesthetics.

@brock7ames 2 місяці тому

Black rustoleum spray paint bud. Will make it look aestically the same.

@dirkhardin1408 Місяць тому

How many cans do you think for 1 panel? And, is this your theory or did you actually do this? @@brock7ames

@dirkhardin1408 Місяць тому

Going post to post with the fence panel leaves an extra step of straight cuts on the 16' fence panel. Many a DIY persons may not have the facility to cut.@@workshop_edits

@thedirtygardener Місяць тому

Oh wow. We paid $99 for our 16’ panels at Tractor Supply. We got the cattle panels.
