Fence and Gate Update at ~14 Months
Переглядів 1,7 тис.3 роки тому
I've been asked a few times for an update video on the fence and gate and what I might do differently in retrospect. I didn't narrate this video, but I have included my thoughts below. 1. The gaps between the pickets are now slightly wider than when first built due to drying, which I expected. I used screws to secure the pickets to the rails to allow for future adjustment. The gaps don't yet bo...

How to Build a Wood Fence and Gate
Переглядів 192 тис.4 роки тому
In this video, I explain how I built a cedar wood picket fence designed to last and a double gate that will not sag. Lap joints are important to prevent a sagging gate but it's the diagonal braces that matter most. 8' Tall 12' 4" Wide Dual Swing Gate 4" x 4" Wood Posts Feel free to reach out to me directly with questions or feedback at StormsDIY@gmail.com. 00:00 - Completed Fence and Gate 00:48...
amazing job. This video is very motivating. What did you use for the design? Buy plans or have software to design your self?
Thanks. I bought pdf plans from timberframehq.com and then re-created them in Sketchup with altered dimensions to fit my slab.
Cool bicycle helmet.
@robertmccully2792. lol.
I don’t think you over did it. You should over build wood gates. Yours are beautiful and look very strong.
Sir, that is bad a$$ 🫡
cool fireplace! 🔥 🏕
What's the span of that gate? Looks amazing. Btw
Thanks. 12' 4"
@LouisStorms what about your hinges? Are they coated galvanized and hardware? Did you use and stainless for the cedar gate frame?
Yes to hinges. I believe I used deck screws on the frame.
Not going to lie looks like alot of work and I'm excited to try it I'm currently building a pergola man that would be cool to add
So bolts and nuts for the long parts of the hinges?
That’s what I did and it’s held up well.
Will try that myself. Also how did you nail the middle of the pickets on the gate without a rail in the middle for nails?
@CM-mv6xf The diagonal braces. Used screws though. Wanted ability to remove and close gaps from board shrink if necessary. Never was.
I like the 45* notches on the gate👌🏽
Your gates are fabulous sir. Good job !
Anyone who has ever said "Jack of all trades, master of none" has never met a jack of all trades -- great work man.
thank you for your reply you do a great work with the timber.john mc namee
what is the name of the tool to make mortice joints are they expensieve
@johnmcnamee2368. It’s called a chain mortiser. They are expensive. Check out my drill guide jig video. If a chain mortiser is out of your price range, consider using that jig for your mortises. Still lots of chisel work to clean up, but nowhere near what would be required without the auger clearing out 95% of the mortise.
Just run it at 3” and strap it to pull it into place. That’s what allows you to square the structure up
Looks a little crooked, mind redoing it it's about half in off from my eye
Amazing!
I'm also a one man show and honestly this video is a true inspiration.
Hey, buddy, that is a beautiful bench. Good job. You should be proud of yourself.
Great solo work
What a beautiful fucking fence.
Hilariously easy with the lift compared to so many other methods.
In sketchup how did you get the mortise and tenon feature? Is that plugin or something?
Created all from scratch. So like created rectangle, then push / pull tool to create the timber. For mortise, draw mortised sized rectangle on surface of timber, push / pull tool to pull down that rectangle 4.5” down or however deep mortise needs to be. Similar exercise for tenon, except you create two “mortises” on either side of the tenon to expose the tenon.

@@LouisStorms thanks, I’ll check that out!
❤
absolutely amazing.
Yeah you over did it. But it looks amazing. Great work
So since you had to keep the over all fence 8ft tall with the trim and cap did you just get 8ft pickets and cut all of them down to the size needed? I am looking at doing the same size fence and not happy if that is what I have to do vs just using the full 8ft pickets and letting the fence go over 8ft by about 4-5 inches with the kicker board and top cap trim.
Yes I had to cut 8’ pickets down to size and wasn’t happy about it. I had code restrictions limiting my fence height to 8’.
very good video
Thanks
Great project. One question is where can the fireplace kit be bought or what is it called?
The fireplace is an Isokern Magnum 42”. www.earthcore.com/the-magnum-series/
Do you have avideo of how you made it?
Sorry I don't, but there's a 3D model with dimensions at the end of the video.
Just what I was looking for.
Pretty
Beautifully done! I really like the style of your design. Thanks so much for the video!
Can you put a link to that lift that you were using?
Good idea. Done.
One of the most methodical fencing and gate videos I've seen on UA-cam. Awesome work!
Amazing job! Old school quality for sure. Quick question. How did you account for growth/shrink of the wood depending on the seasons?
Thank you. I had the cedar for the gate frame lying around for years before I built the gate, so it was very dry. Haven't noticed it expanding or contracting at all. The pickets were all bought from HD and were wet. Used screws instead of nails in case I'd have to close the gaps later. It's been four years, and the gaps haven't become wide enough to compel me to do anything about it. Posts were also wet initially. If they have expanded or contracted, there's not been any noticeable expression.
What a great idea! Copying is the greatest form of Flattery. Taking your idea, and using material that I had lying around, I have made my own version of "George Straight"!
@SteveVincent-AVENTICS Fantastic. I hope it gets the job done for you and saves you money like it did for me.
Awesome video. I love the application of static forces. You gotta be an engineer. Lol. What I've been seeing online did not make sense to me either. Just what I was looking for, however, I'll be using galvanized steel posts and board on board 6 ft tall fencing. What gap did you leave, if any, between your pickets?
I didn’t leave any gap between pickets because expected them to shrink over time as they dried out. Galvanized steel posts are going to be awesome. Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your fence!
Awesome job. I do all my projects 1 man power as well. I know the planning and dedication thatvwent into this. 👍🏻
Anyone in this community knows what software he is using?
Sketchup
@@LouisStorms Thanks man. Have a good one!
Great vid. What’s the name and model # of the hoist youre using? Did you rent it or purchase? Thanks!
«Просмотрите, что у меня есть» 😅
My concern every time i see people sealing posts like that is: wouldn’t moisture get in the wood from above the sealed part and wick down to the dry sealed part and not have an easy way out and actually rot sooner? Because of moisture being held in? I could be wrong but seems logical.
I left the bottom of the posts unsealed. Posts sit atop a bed of gravel. But, to your point, it’s certainly possible that sealing the posts, even on just the sides, accelerates rot. But based on where my old posts rotted without sealing, right where they met the ground, I’m betting sealing the way I did makes the new posts last longer.
@@LouisStorms leaving the bottoms unsealed may help then. I could how see sealing just where water sits or splashes could do some good.
I need a coat break down on this, please.
Crown up. You should always establish your own lines. Like your doing a post and beam with saddle notches. Even on a post framed building or a simple mortise and tenon it makes a huge difference in finally apearence.
would you please name the tools you are using to move and lift. these tools are rare in my contry. thanks great video
I’m going to try to replicate this. Wish me luck 😂
You can do it. Read video description re gate posts.
I’m planning my own fence and I’ve watched this one video over 100 times. If you have any footage of you building the fence itself, I’d love to see it. You have the most well thought out, but also well explained video on fence construction. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
You are a seriously talented craftsman. This is the best video of this kind of build I've seen yet. Thank you for for all of your hard work and effort that went into sharing this video. Truly amazing work, I'm in awe.
Thank you so much for your video. It's 6.9.23 and I'm about to start my Gate fence following all your instructions good job buddy 👍and thank you. Cheers🍻
You do some amazing work. I wish you had more videos.
Thank you! I wish I had more videos too. I recently purchased some rural property and I’ll likely embark on some projects there worthy of filming.
