More info: This fence is about 200 linear feet and after digging the holes with help, the project took me about 2 weeks completely working alone (sorry for leaving that info out of the video!) I helped Pete do about the same distance on his fence and together, we knocked out all of the framing and started pickets in one day... so having a helper goes much faster!

The problem when people cement posts in the ground, they usually only put the minimum amount in the ground, then fill the hole with dirt. Dirt retains water and will eventually rot the post. Simple solution to avoid the tar paper you demo'd here in this video is to just fill up the hole with cement making sure the cement is above ground. Then crown the cement at the top so it will repeal water. I did this to my fence 24 years ago and it's still holding strong.

I replaced 4x4 redwood posts without knowing this and rotting occurred later. Great tip. Good info on comments. Perhaps, pressure treated? Perhaps restoration technique of epoxy/acetone soaking an drying cycles and then coating with hot tar. Very lengthy alternatives but certainly preferable to redwood rotting and replacement.

A few posts( regular pressure treated wood fence posts ) I used cement , the rest of them , no cement . Instead I used round gravel and tamped the gravel in hard , all around the posts .

when using a vehicle to pull things out of the ground like this, toss the spare tire under the chain as close to the thing you are pulling out, that way, the force is transferred from pulling sideways, to pulling up. you will disturb less of the ground, and the actual pulling will be even more effortless.

You built a really nice fence. Good job. I can't 100% be certain but I think the old fence was salvageable. You could disassemble where needed and reinforce with screws or brackets. Then you could soda blast the entire fence and it would look like brand new wood. Then stain it with the stain that you used. I think this would have worked great. I highly recommend you seal your fence with a product like PWS-8. Professional Water Sealant. This will form a near perfect water barrier and keep it looking brand new for many years.

@yellowbird5411

My thought exactly. The fence looked bad because no one had made efforts to make repairs as the fence aged. But the uprights looked good and the panels didn't look bad either. For some on a budget, they would love to have had that load donated to them for reassembly. I have exactly the fence she had. I have a maintenance man who periodically replaces panel boards or cross members as needed, as we have a termite problem in this neighborhood. The cost of a new fence will bring tears to your eyes, starting around $10,000, depending on what materials you use. As you mentioned, pressure washing leaves fences looking brand new. I had my handyman do that on the fence at a rental I own, and I was absolutely floored at what looked like a fence that had just been built. I couldn't believe it. I'm all for saving money and salvaging what already works.

Your gate brace will work with gravity if you put the top of the brace away from the hinges and the bottom of the brace on the hinge post (opposite of what you showed in your video).

I don't know why we build fences the way we do in America. Having watched so many UK gardening shows. I think they have a much smarter way of doing it. They use concrete posts that the horizontal fence panels just slide down between. All the panels can be made as an assembly and then the whole thing just slots in. Never have to worry about post rot and individual panels can be replaced when needed. It also seems less expensive. The panels and posts, with rock face concrete base panels and 40 bags of post mix for 150ft of fence (3 sides of 50 feet) can all be purchased for under $1800 USD with the VAT included. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful fence. I just think its weird that we haven't adopted the UK way. We spend so much money on fencing, you'd think we'd want it to last for a long time.

Black Jack Rubr-Coat #57 is an inexpensive waterproofing membrane you can paint on the bottom of the posts. I first learned about a little while back when I was building a chicken coop. Painted the entire bottom of the coop in that and it made it fully water proof and had held up to not just the moisture, but the ammonia present in the chickens waste. The reason the few inches of post at ground level had rot is due to the soil microbes. They live in the top 3" inches of soil and will do what they do so well.. break down wood. When putting posts in the ground, your best bet for longevity is to offer a protective coating (either the sleeve mentioned in this video or a 6" band of painted in Black Jack #57) spanning about an 1-2" above the soil line going down about 4-5" underground. That will create a great waterproof barrier that will prevent the soil bacteria and fungi from degrading your posts. Beautiful fence, btw Hats off to your friend for helping you with the project. Friends like that are worth their weight in gold!

When I have done things like this in the past, it is gratifying in a way, but I simply don't have the time for projects like that. My fence is terrible (if we didn't have dogs, I'd simply opt to remove it) and there's actually a contractor who does odd jobs for us that's been slowly replacing all of the posts as we speak, getting through a handful each day he comes (there's no access to bring a large vehicle or equipment, so it's all by hand so again, not something I have the time for).

Still cant get a panel dogs can run through. Maybe I'll try gluing more pickets but that's more money.

I love this fence and how well engineered you designed it and also built it. Fence perfection. My municipality only allows a six foot high fence - I wish they allowed 8 feet ! I built a fence back in 2017 and went with the horizonal look with a small gap between the boards. My house is mid-century so this look is more fitting and I love it!. I wish I would have known about the post sleeves - probably didn't have them in 2017. My fence is still perfect and strong. I used the Sika post set foam for the posts and it has been perfect. Anyway, this fence you built is awesome and better than what you would have paid someone to build.

@mendymorris335

Because some people want the smooth side on the inside of their yard duh
@californiadreamer2580
@californiadreamer2580 11 днів тому
Yeah, I agree. Where I live, wood fences were never built with the smooth side in, although there could be board on board for each side, so neighboring properties had the same view on each side, depending on zoning. Not such an issue somewhere with ag zoning. In fact community codes and permitting everywhere residentially zoned that I have lived, including now, will not allow this in a residential area.
@californiadreamer2580
@californiadreamer2580 11 днів тому
​@@mendymorris335although the fence is lovely for her, if she tried to build it like that in my area, she would never be granted a building permit. If she built it without a permit, code enforcement would make her remove it. So it all depends where one lives and what your property zoning is. I don't live in a particularly upscale town, either.

@SuperTrb0
@SuperTrb0 10 днів тому
Technically the design she went with would allow her to run boards on the other side and the fence would look pretty much the same on both sides with just the poles showing. It would make it hard to climb. Let’s be honest though, nobody is going to climb a fence when they can just use a knife to pick up the latch on the gate and gain access to the back yard. Criminals typically take the lowest effort route.

Check your covenants. If everyone has the same exact fence, then that will most likely be your future one, too.
