Just done a fence today old post concrete in every hole I needed a post, 3 roots the size of an elephant’s trunk running parallel through my holes, I’ve worked my legs off today grafted and no one will ever know or appreciate the pain of my work day today and I’ll die a poor man in 45 years. What an existence this is.
Awesome video. By far the best on here! I have started landscaping 1 year into it. and I can do fences now - all down to you guys. Can’t thank you enough!!!! highly recommend!
UA-cam suggested me to Joe Everest in the states video on this video which is about a guy in Nottingham, all this so I know who to call for my fencing needs!
Got 17 6ft x 6ft panels with concrete posts and g/boards to put in and started looking for tips. These guys are professional, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you! After watching your videos and deciding to give it a go, I've installed my first fence. No castle tops too. I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't seen your excellent videos. Keep up the good work!
Im carpenter but one thing I've never really done is fencing. Been watching these guys for a while now top guys. Just ordered loads of stuff from there site just round the corner from me im bar lane these guys are percy street top quality materials great great prices best in notts from what I've found. Keep up the great works guys.
I've been self employed for over 20 years,and fencing is a big part of our work. Just come across yr channel and you fellas are great too watch very informative and anybody starting out ,watching yr videos won't go far wrong with yr straight forward easy to understand advice.
Just not sure how the top of the fence is level on the slope? What if the garden was longer how would you achieve this? Or did he just cut the posts down
I would like to thank you so so much. I found your videos when storm Eunice destroyed our fence with wooden post and we have learned so much from you that me and my husband have just completed 22 panels with concrete post and it’s looking not too shabby. Thank you again and I love watching your videos. Have a amazing day.
I have zero interest in putting up a fence, but found this amazing. You have a very simple, easy to understand, informative delivery. Keep up the great content.
Really well made vid . You are a natural teacher and brilliant no bull presenter . One tiny little tip ….right at the end of the vid have a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush handy and get Stevie to wash all the postcrete off his spade double quick
Joe Everest recommend your Channel. I’m a Farmer in North Carolina, I spent some time in England and Germany. I noticed that the fence posts were Concrete, so when I started building fences on my Farm I made Concrete Posts. Best decision on fencing I made.
I'm watching this as a 33 year old single lady who needs a new fence due to problematic neighbours. Was quoted £1500+ to have it done for me so I'm trying to see if I can save money by buying all the materials myself and trying to install it myself! I doubt I can but you've given me the confidence to try!
@@tigerberrie5147 I can't speak for your own, but mine was a bit harder than it looked. I had really unlevel ground with holes and stuff in it so the hardest part was getting it all flat and level. I ended up going with panel fencing so it was much less work but did require another person to help. However I'm 5ft 1, 100lbs and 33 so I could just be weak! Also didn't go this route with the posts either, I found some post holders on Amazon that just need to be hammered into the ground instead of digging and using concrete, so it's ended up being a fence which can be easily removed if needed! It was worth it though and ended up only costing £160 in total instead! And now I don't have to deal with those neighbours either :)
Hi Guys I never thought watching a couple of guys building fences would be so interesting I've just started to go through all your vlogs and they are more interesting then the shite on sky tv keep them coming
Good video, and well explained, am about to fit new panels and concrete posts, good tip with marking the hole digger with tape to get the depth. Thanks
Awesome video lads cheers, just checking it out to see if I've missed any tips or tricks. The only thing I will add is if anyone plans on doing a decent amount of fencing it is worth getting a Petrol Earth Auger for about ~£200, makes digging holes so easy and will save your back if the mud is tough. I personally got the BU-KO 52CC 2Stroke Petrol Earth Auger 3HP V-Type, comes with 3 drill bits and an extension, I'm doing 3ft holes perfectly fine with it. Sometimes have to use the thin drill bit first if the mud is like concrete but can follow-up with the bigger one after.
Hi guys and girls happy new year to yas all I've not been able to watch for a while but I love how down to earth you's are always giving free advice and explaining how to do things a lot of channels don't do that because they might lose work but you guys seem as though you want people to thrive so THANK you ask much for all the free advice and tips you give , living a be watching every episode from now , and again thank you your proper professional :-) :-) :-) :-)
I was just watching this now what a brilliant teaching,if I can afford your company you would be doing mine I have 14 fence posts to put up. Thank you 😊
As someone who has put quite a few of these fences up in my time I always found the fun starts when you have to do it on a windy day ! it's alright for the professionals doing it every day but if everyone else is like me it can be a struggle . Its not always possible to do it on a calm Summer day !
I thought you were doing this without a string line as you didn't mention it. Then I watched again and saw you hit it with the scissors. Good job, lovely fence.
Great walk through Dave, Iv been watching you from 6months in so just catching up but, that answered a couple of question I didn’t really wanna ask as I thought they sound silly 🤦♂️ and now you have answered them 👍. On to the next video!!! 👍👍
Next door to us is a council house, they got Liberty to install a new fence and it was sooo bad, looked like a castle wall and wasn't straight. This is bang on though!
Top video again guys! One of my pet hates- seeing 6 inch to 1ft of post showing above the panel! It’s just laziness- not digging the post the full depth. Can also be inexperience. We had to re install a fence last year where the posts were in 1ft 😂 how people sleep at night doing that- I don’t know!
Top tip get a wood 4x4 the same height as you're concrete and drop it in the hole to check your height easier than heavy concrete in & out. Start at the top of a slope, then you don't have to worry about the next bay height. Dry mix & tamp it, works out cheaper than post mix
Great video. Maybe create a hole in the concrete gravel board to allow your local friendly neighbourhood endangered hedgehog to move from garden to garden!
Thanks so much for the very informative video, these tips are a massive help as I'm replacing the old fencing in me garden all by myself! If you don't mind me asking, is it necessary to lay some gravel to the bottom of the hole for drainage purposes? Great video again, gents!
We are glad they are going to help you buddy!! No I wouldn’t say it is essential to do that, but for peace of mind for the drainage of water I guess you could do that but we don’t! Thank you!!
Not for concrete posts but if you were laying in wooden ones then 3inch of gravel topped by a 3inch layer of dry concrete mix before putting post in would help against rot setting in from underneath. You'd still get rot at the top of the concrete mix sadly but there are products that can stop that too, Postsaver Pro-Sleeves are one of many.
Most builders been doing that for decades but it is a good tip. Personally Mine are marked at 2 ,4 and 4 foot . I usually use gas auger and finish it up with post hole diggers to get more accurate depth.
Wish the cowboy fencing company that did my new build fence saw this video. They just put wooden posts into very wet soil and looks like they used a handful of concrete 2 foot down. Needless to say, rotten posts snapped after 14 months!
Just about to say about the tape then boom you say it 😂 Great video this has helped me so much, went from semi confident to positive I can do this now 👌 How do you price a job also?
Thank you, clear video and explanation. I need to replace some broken fence panels (the concrete posts are fine) on a slope of about 25-30 degrees. I want to place gravel boards down to stop the wild animals digging under the fence. Is it OK to completely bury a gravel board with another one on top?
Great video boys.......and quality work, well done. A question if I may; I see you place 2 gravel boards one on top of the other before installing the next post.......is there a maximum fence height you can use this method ? I am look at using 6 gravel boards ( 6 foot high fence) and don't really fancy lifting each board over the top of the post and then lowering into position. Any help/comments gratefully received.
Brilliant information guys. Am erecting 20 panels with concrete posts on slight incline, maybe a foot over full distance. Shall I start high or low point? Thanks again guys , best fencing video👍
Fair play lads. Great video. Short and to the point!. Like to mix me concrete old way though with ballast and cement. Every one to their own though. Again, great video!!❤
Hi, thanks for the detailed guide, it really helps. Question: if i have (100mm x 100mm) 8ft concrete post, digging 2ft down, what would be the diameter of the hole? and how many Postcrete bags would I need? Thanks a lot in advance.
Beautiful job. I'm 64 and I'm going to have a go!❤
As an IT guy I built my own fence after watching this extremely helpful and straightforward video and it was a great result, thanks very much!
How confident and relaxed you are now from these videos is crazy.
Just done a fence today old post concrete in every hole I needed a post, 3 roots the size of an elephant’s trunk running parallel through my holes, I’ve worked my legs off today grafted and no one will ever know or appreciate the pain of my work day today and I’ll die a poor man in 45 years.

Was just watching this via another YT channel, thought I'd come and show me support with us being from Nott's lol.
Wait is he from Nottingham lol ?
woooo
UA-cam suggested me to Joe Everest in the states video on this video which is about a guy in Nottingham, all this so I know who to call for my fencing needs!
Notts too
Great tip about marking the kick board levels on the post

Exactly lol
A fencepornphobe?
Just not sure how the top of the fence is level on the slope? What if the garden was longer how would you achieve this? Or did he just cut the posts down
Often it is because key details have been omitted, and feel it’s a waste of time

Our pleasure!
This is a great help for us not so handy non-tradesmen IT types 😉 Thank you for taking the time to share this, so useful
After having some crazy quotes for 3 panels I'm confident to give it a go myself now. Great video simple and clear advice
just saw this on Joe Everest's channel. just stopping by to show some love
Told me everything I wanted to know, and no waffle. Great Thanks.
Really well made vid . You are a natural teacher and brilliant no bull presenter . One tiny little tip ….right at the end of the vid have a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush handy and get Stevie to wash all the postcrete off his spade double quick
Love the video guys, keep up the good work, a nice wee video on building the fence on a pretty steep slope would be great also
I’m going to do my own fencing after watching this, concrete and all. Cheers
I also found your channel via Joe’s. Love the concreat posts and kick panels. Good looking fence.
Amazing video. I recognized the Notts accent immediately, always makes me smile.

Can you share any insight into how you made your own posts?
Always enjoy watching yiur video's guys. You truly are professionals with a very professional approach.
Nice explanation and handy tip with marking the depth of hole on your post digger. Great job guys!
Thank you buddy, we appreciate the comment!!

I learn a lot from you bro..
Thank you! This is why we make the videos!!
Comprehensive! I'm gonna do my first DIY fence next weekend
Great level of detail, thanks
Great video lads
Absolutely crushing on this guy 😍😂

No one likes a castle top!! 1ft! Crazy isn’t it what you see at old jobs! They probably sleep without any hesitation lol
Excellent video
Thank you!!
Ermmm im going out to van now👍 to add tape to me post digger 🤣
Great vid again lads
Thank you mate!
Definitely get that tape on those post holes diggers, saves so much time wondering if you are deep enough! Lol
Doing exactly the same thing now 😂😂👌
Thank you for sharing! You are a a legend!

We already do one Paul 👊
Oh wow thats amazing @@DJProjectss
Just saw Joe’s video. Great work lads.
Thanks for the tips. Any chance of you doing a video on how to erect a fence in a wind area?
+1 vote on this, please, chaps!

Nice video...I start fencing 2moro..never done it in my life..looks hard work 💪
Thanks for making the video, really helped 🙂
First panel fence coming up next week I'm keen to try out some of these top tips dude! Especially taping off the 2ft height on the scoops 👌 genius!
Makes it so much easier

How do you price a job also?

Great advice chaps, cansee your professional so in your opinion how would you tackle a 45 degree corner?
Excellent I will get started I have 47 panels to do !!!! may take a while
great video. solid pro job.
Great video boys.......and quality work, well done.
A question if I may; I see you place 2 gravel boards one on top of the other before installing the next post.......is there a maximum fence height you can use this method ?

Great job mate. Just wondered how you price these jobs and what is the usual charge to a customer for such a fence? Thanks
Great video. Really useful!
quality mate love it 👍
Cracking video lads, thankyou 👍
Looking pale dbol 😃 great vid lads 💪🏻👍🏻
Been covered up throughout this cold winter lol
Fair play lads. Great video. Short and to the point!. Like to mix me concrete old way though with ballast and cement. Every one to their own though. Again, great video!!❤
Nice and clean job. What's the dimension of the gravel board ( L x W x H) and what's the dimension of the post and the groove in the post.
Hi, thanks for the detailed guide, it really helps. Question: if i have (100mm x 100mm) 8ft concrete post, digging 2ft down, what would be the diameter of the hole? and how many Postcrete bags would I need? Thanks a lot in advance.
2/3 inch around the post is plenty. Bigger the hole, more postcrete needed 👊🏻👍🏻
Very impressive 👌
