Hogwire Fence Update
Hi Friends! We are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of making the fence. Overall we are very happy with the fence. There is some wear and tear from the kids climbing the fence but overall it looks great.
One thing I would change is that I wouldn’t cut the panels down to side so they keep their rigidity. These panels also don’t keep out pests like raccoons so use caution if you have free ranging chickens!
It has definitely performed its duty-keep in the dog & kids!
Edit: not sure why the comments are turned off! I will try to get them turned on so I can answer questions. Thanks for your patience!

DIY tutorial on how to make a hog wire or utility panel fence using a dado.
Переглядів 176 тис.5 років тому
We received a quote for $8,000 to fence in our backyard, so I took the task on myself. We wanted an open, hog wire style fence. I decided a dado groove/picture frame method would be the easiest route to take for construction. I constructed most "picture frames" ahead of time so installation only took 2 days. You can use this method with any rigid wire panel (hog wire, horse wire). This method w...

    Fantastic Job!!!! Please can you tell me what type of wood it is you used? I have seen several videos with this type of wood, it has little holes, notches in it. Using your video and getting ready to install this at my home. Thank you very much!

    You can also use a router with a fence attachment to cut the dado. No need for an expensive dado blade.

    What size dado blade, 8” or 10” ?

    tip- instead of using that type of drill use a impact drill driver with star bit instead of the cross type screws. You will rarely strip the screw

    I have owned a CRAFTSMAN table saw like that for about 30 years and I also had to take the safeties off of it like you did. That table saw is also not made for a DADO blade and is not safe to use one in it but with that said I also use a DADO blade in mine. To hell with safety!!! We are old school. (The DADO blade is too wide for the nut to fully screw on to the bolt that attached the blade. My nut only goes on about half the width of the nut) Now there are other brands that are safe to use and designed for DADO blades but CRAFTSMAN specifically states in the instructions not to use a DADO blade but who reads those? Now I know women don't read them like men or they read them and simply ignore them? Great video by the way I hope you make more of them.

    I did something very similar but i dint use dattos. Instead I cut off the perimeter wire and drilled holes for the wire to go into. 🙂

    Great video ms abbie! You should definitely make more videos. Im a small channel too and havent made a video in a while . But you seem to have a knack for it ! Great work on the fence and video! Definitely gave me some good ideas

    Great instructional video on how to make the panels. But, need to work on saw safety. Never put your hand over the blade, and don't wear gloves.

    Very nice job. Sometimes a quote or two from a company is all the motivation we need to do it ourselves ;) I especially like your gate build. Besides being a talented builder, it’s nice to see someone who obviously looks after their fitness level.

    The problem with cutting those groves is that rainwater will gather and rot out the bottom board??

    I'd be concerned about rain water sitting in the lower frame dado, which would eventually rust the galvanized metal and rot the treated wood. What do you think about drilling some 1/2-in drain holes into the lower frame dado?

    Thanks for the great video! Very helpful and easy to understand. did you use the 2x10 kickers because of the irregularities of your yard, for aesthetics, rigidity? I have a fairly flat yard and wondering if i can just use the panels themselves.

    Can the dado be smaller? like barely bigger than the thickness of the wire so it fits more snug? seems like those cute ends of the panel are barely in there

    If that is treated wood for the dado boards you will want to apply some sealer on the newly cut channels and drill several weep holes for each panel so water can drain out. It's better to build three sides of the panels and set them on the fence then insert the panel so you can custom cut the panels. Last you just drop the top frame part on. Cut the support fence posts flush, apply sealer then install the top rail.

      Yes, I was thinking the bottom channels needed weep holes. I like your other tips as well.

    Pocket holes will keep you from blowing out your wood and make the connections much stronger. Also, if you put three of the sides together on the frames you should be able to slide the wire right in.
