Bits of wood Workshop What is the ounce of the estwing Sir

Thanks! I'm actually building another one today for a customer of mine👍🏻 Make sure you check out my dog pen tour vid for a few more tips! Good luck on your build!

Thanks! Sorry to hear about losing your dog. They really become part of the family. Good luck with the new puppy though! Hope the new kennel works out well for you! If you haven't already, check out my dog pen tour vid for a few more tips👍🏻

If you check out my dog pen tour vid you can see that I went 16x16 or 2 panels. I'm on bedrock so I attached them together and backbraced the joint. Corners were plenty sturdy. I was able to cement the posts on either side of the gate. If you were to make an actual fence with longer runs I would definitely recommend setting posts between each panel. A little tip if you do that, set your posts first then build the panels to the distance between posts. Way easier to build a half inch shorter or whatever than to get the posts exactly 8' apart. Good luck and thanks for the comment!

I was wondering if it could be made with 1x's.. It should still be sturdy enough, right?

​@@Watergirl_83 It all depends on the individual needs of someone. These panels are less likely to bend and or break with a larger animal or person trying to get in. Lighter materials, thinner wood will still be strong enough for many people's needs.

Damn it's been 2 years and still didn't get an answer.

Four now 😂​@@whatinthegoddamn

Another comment says 14 guage 😅❤

Yes, it's 14 gauge. You can pick it up at any home centre. It's been holding up perfectly so far. Make sure and check out my dog pen tour I built with these panels for a few tips. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a6OBfKanoox-s2w.html Thanks for the comment!

What I actually built with the panels... ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a6OBfKanoox-s2w.html

You could essentially make the panels any size you want, but they would get much harder to manage if they were much bigger. If you're using posts I would dig and set them in the ground at your desired spacing/locations and then build the panels to the exact size of the space between posts. Easier in my opinion than building them and trying to set posts to match. Check out my completed pen tour for more tips! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a6OBfKanoox-s2w.html Thanks!

@@bitsofwoodworkshop9393 thanks, that helps

They sell brackets at hardware store ...can choose hinged or flat

They were 7/8 galvanized staples.

6 per panel. Times how many panels you need 👍

👌🏾

You can buy everything at your local building centre.

Bits of wood Workshop ok thanks

You would do it the same way as a normal wooden fence, but I would install the posts first, keeping the spacing under 8’ then build the panels to the exact measurements between the posts. They’ll all be a little different. Hope this helps! Good luck!

@@bitsofwoodworkshop9393 how would you attach the panels to the posts?

2 1/2 is what I used.

Depends where you live and what the price of lumber is at the time. Basically the cost of six 2x4's, 1 10th of a 100' roll of wire, and a few screws and staples. A quick call to your local lumber yard or home centre will get yo the info you need. Hope this helps.

It was just a quick example of some ideas. Here’s a link to what I actually made with the panels. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a6OBfKanoox-s2w.html

The box at the end was just to show a few quick ideas of what you could do with the panels. It wasn't a finished cage. The same style of panel can be made any size and with the addition of a cross brace could be used as a gate/door. Thanks for the comment!

@@bitsofwoodworkshop9393 what woulf be the best way to add a door ?

Yeah, poor guy is still stuck in there.😅

Sure they do, the pieces overlap. Lumber is 3 1/2 wide x 2 is 7. 41+7=48 89+7=96. The panel is 48x96.

@@bitsofwoodworkshop9393 Got it! I thought 2x4s were 4" wide.

Glad I could clear that up. Thanks for checking out the vid!
