Our Adventure Building a Western Red Cedar Privacy Fence in Dallas, TX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2013
- After many years of hating our old chain link fence we decide to build a fence ourselves. Follow us on our journey on the process of removal, and construction of almost 300 feet of Cedar Privacy board-on-board 6ft tall fence with a kickboard, or rot board and a simple top trim to finish off the fence. All done by us the homeowners. (My Wife & I) First time ever building a fence of any kind!

Excellent job and I love all the details in the gate and on top. I bet pups are happy now to run around.
Just wanted to say your video helped me ALOT with me building a fence. I had no idea how to even start with the metal post or even to attach it to wood. My fence was just one side and didn't turn out they way yours did but you did a great job and you inspired me to finally build mine :) thank you so much
After doing it yourself it makes you appreciate how much work is actually involved. Good Job
True, for anything in life!
I love the gate cut outs for the hinges. Great detail
yeah!!!! building it ourselves sir,,is a very great idea....save a lot of money...thanks!!
Nice job! Nothing better than DIY.
In my area, the post side of the fence must face toward the homeowner. So the finished side faces the outside world, so your neighbors get the nice view.
This looks nice! Well done!
Way to go! looks great! building a fence ourselves is looking more and more doable. Thanks for the video.
+Jmichelle A You Can Do It!!
Being your first fence project, NICE WORK! It turned out very nice.
Awesome job & beautiful fence for a long long time.
Wow that looks amazing! From the looks of your garden it took a good bit of time. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks, this helps people to get ideas about whats involved. good job!
That is amazing dude! You inspire me to build a fence on me backyard so I can plant vegetables for human, not deer😂
Looks really amazing and a lot of hard work! Great job well done!

Good job! Looks great!
Looks damn good.. This is what I want in my yard.
Awesome job!
Fence looks really good, you should look up ez brace for your back gate it will match the hardware on your gate. The ez brace will actually keep your gate from sagging over time just as the welded frame gate does.
Great Job!
Nice work Bro!! Knocked that out and saved a ton. Impressive
Hell of a Nice Job!
bravo beautiful job
Beautiful well done☺

Good ! Congratulations
Good job!
NICE JOB
You and your Wife did a fantastic job. We also try to do everything that we can possibly do ourselves at home too. I absolutely despise rip off, over priced companies that take advantage of good folks. The average homeowners would be amazed at what they can accomplish nowadays with all of the information that is available. It ain't no secret anymore, well done my friend! ;-)
Kenny Starr Thanks! It is amazing how much one can save by doing Anything yourself.
Yes it is. We just got ripped off by 2 different "pro's" one was a painter, the other was a cabinet maker. I hired the painter because of my back and neck issues, I hired the cabinet maker because I didn't have a miter saw. Guess what? ...... I WILL buy myself a miter saw, and WE WILL do our own painting from now on. They screwed us out of almost NINE grand. They'll Never rip us off again, as long as I can walk. I am a FIRM supporter of DO IT YOURSELF. Even if your body hurts, DIY if at all possible. Good job kids!

Sweet puppy's!!🐶🐶
Took 4 weekends, just me and my wife built it. Did not have time to build it during the week. first weekend rip out old fence, next weekend set posts in cement, next hung all rails, last weekend pickets.
How for apart are your post
Watched this for the first time, also live in Dallas. Think you just convinced me to try it myself.. I have a little bit of a slope we’ll see how it goes. Great job!!
Go for it!
GREAT JOB
Wow, those bids were astronomically high.
Very Nice ! I wish you were here to help us to put up our fence!
Nice fence, I'm helping neighbor who is replacing his on both sides 8 ft. seen some tips we can use. Thx for sharing. Saginaw,Tx
Nice job by the way.
nice job
nice job. nice video
I think you might live in my neighborhood. Our back yards are almost identical. I will be building a similar fence on a house I just bought off 30 and Dolphin. Hopefully it looks as nice as yours.
Don't have to worry about post rotting...wish I saw this video sooner...
looks good great job regardless if someone wants to get over a fence they will doesnt matter what side is which
exactly
Lucky you, you have very soft soil. If you used that auger where I live it would probably break the machine or break you. lol We have rocks ever 3" here. Good work on your project. Looks good! Poles are hard job for just one person.
Awesome. I'm having it done in a few weeks but around 200 feet. $5600.red cedar.includes removing old metal fence
Wow great job man looks better than the pros. Can you tell me which are the pieces that you used for the trim.
I like this fence but I would of had went around the meter so they won't have to come into my back yard and leave the door open for my dog to run away while I am at work. good job and thanks for the video!
Good job
Thanks for sharing, where did you get the gate hardware? I love the latch never seen it before.
I know this is an older video, but it looks good. Can you make a video showing what the fence is like now?
Never understood why so many people put the rails or runners to the outside until my mom had her fence put up and the city said she had to put them to the outside and the pretty side facing inside the yard, I like the kick panel at he bottom
Very nice! You can build some more raised beds with your leftover wood.
Looks nice! A little over a year ago be bought a house in the country w/ just over 1/2 acre. Been fixing up along the way but really want a privacy fence along the back and 1/2 way along the sides.(basically enclose the back yard) Our lot is 170'w 130'd but unfortunately $5k in materials alone is not in the budget right now. Going to have to stick with a post and board fence (like a corral fence) across the front for now to "pretty it up" but that's still almost $1k. It sucks being poor!!! :(
But I wanted to say I enjoyed your video and watching the process.It's very inspiring.
I like how you built and materials you used. But, there are hurricanes in Florida. How strong your fence against 75 mph winds?
Great Job Brandon!! how many days did it take you and how much was the saving?is it require to have permit to build fence? how deep are the metal post? i would like to build my own fence instead of paying but dont know so much about it. Thank you for sharing this video.
great looking fence...My hubby won't build anything..I am always willing to try though
Nice 👍
Looks good, how long did you get your post and how far apart did thou place them from each other. I've got a slope yard its Gona be challenging to get it straight. Any ideas
How long did it take to drill out all 45 holes with the auger? We are tackling a similar project
We have a fence like that all around our house and it looks like Fort Knox
Very nice fence. I also built a dog ear style myself using treated 4 x 4's with 3 runners of 2 x 4's with cedar pickets, I have not stained it yet but will before this winter what stains are you thinking about? From my research some kind of oil based semi transparent is what people are telling me but i'm not sure.
The fence is awesome 👌 nice job . where the dogs at we wanted to see them running around lol
Great video! I am currently building the same fence. What size did you use for the top trim?
All good but that one spot top part you trying to hide...hehe i seen it. Looks great man i bought house with similar setup just nned to stain it. Great work dude.
besides the design on kickboard its a nice fence.
How many pickets did you use on ALL for the WHOLE fence?? Thanks!!
Hello, what gate hardware did you use? The black handle and hinges? Thank you.
nice.
looks nice. I just got a quote mine to be done for $4000 with one gate and cedar .
ties at 9:23....nice.
good job, how much did it cost you total?
yeah that's a good point and I was wondering that also??
How much did project cost please and how much time did it take?
Hey there buddy. Nice fence it really looks great..theres one thing I dont understand is why do you have the posts on the outside. That's a no no because of security it gives the bad guy a place to climb over you fence..not a good idea just saying
Did you leave 2 inches for soil? Did the grass grow back ok?
Can you tell me who were the suppliers of the materials? Cedar? Other? I live in DFW are and I'm pricing a similar project.
How do you keep the fence clear of bushes and such on the opposite side? And it looks like you had fence against a neighbor's fence. what keeps trees from growing up in between them? My neighbors would never keep the fence trimmed on their side, and would never allow me to come over and clean up their side neither.
Look great but Fence is built inside out. Most codes require the nicer side to face out. Hopefully this is allowed in your area.
