- Can 2 1/2 men install almost 200 feet of wood privacy fence in 4 hours without digging? Build and install a strong wood fence without using concrete. With help from Mark from SWI Fence, I'll show you how you can avoid the worst part about installing a new fence. Digging the holes. We used pressure-treated pine but of course, you would use this same method on a cedar fence.

Dad jokes 🤣 you wouldnt get em
I laughed several times. I guess that means I'm unfunny too
U got any gas ? Usually an hour after lunch 😂 😮 oh u mean gasoline
Everyone's a critic.
*miter saw on ground* “i wana do the work the way the avg homeowner would”… *uses tractor and $3000 hammer to build fence*
Tool rental?
@@totallyfrozenThat's just too much common sense for the trolls that just have to complain that an awesome, but expensive, tool is used.
You can rent a tractor and the hammer. The average homeowner rents tools frequently.
@@watcherofwatchers it’s not trolling. He’s absolutely right
The average person can either borrow or rent an augur. Harbor freight sells an affordable unit someone could buy and resell or pawn to recoup some of purchase price or just eat it as a one time purchase
This is any major city or metro area for purchase or rental and someone you’d borrow in a rural IF you didn’t have one
VS
Getting some one off purpose built machine that less than 10% of the population owns and hardly any tool rental company would buy because you won’t make your money back on the investment
But the average person doesn’t have a tractor or this tool, can’t rent it cheap and isn’t going to be able to find an installer who even has one
This method is a good idea, but if you could just sledgehammer in a base piece as an anchor and screw the rest of each metal post to the anchor, it could be made easier and cheaper.
My daughter and I, a 67-year-old woman put a fence like this up in our yard, mind you it was only about 20 ft wide but, I lined up the post she pounded them down with no machine just the pounder and then we had bought pre-made panels and we put the hardware on them lined them up and screwed them in. Our fence is so lovely people compliment it all the time and say it's better than the professional job they had, it's been up for over a year now and standing tall. It took us half a day to do it because we needed to rest between pounding each post.
Sounds awesome! Where can e we see it?
plz show pics!!!!!
I don't know how. I tried to copy/ paste, didn't work.
@@jkwjcw3ify ask yer grandaughter!!!!! plz or what is name of panels u used?
20 ft wide.... you're joking right?! That's like 3-4 panels.... that's nothing to brag about. Try 1.5 acres in clay soil in TX then you can brag all you want.
2:41 "... you know what kind of wind we get. It just blows." Wow. This is quality content. 🤣
Finally someone who installs the top, mid, and bottom railing CORRECTLY! I had driving by and seeing New Fence with the Railings secured to a piece of 2x4 block, because the Fence Builder didn't measure correctly while setting the Post. Also he installed the Top Railing correctly justblike the middle and bottom rails. I hate when they install the top Railing flat. Over time the Railings will start to bow because they installed them horizontally, installed vertically which has more strength and won't sag/bow! I always screw my Fences and never nail. The nails tends to back out as the wood dries out. Also screwing is also stronger. The only thing with screws is if you have to demo a fence and screws have deteriorate its harder to back them without stripping them because of the rust.
You guys are solid gold. Most entertaining handyman show so far.
that look over at "sub-standard help" f-ing killed me!
congrats on 100k my guy!
Thank you!
Hax was a blast to work though!

At 13:40 I'm chuckling at the efforts to pull up a post by hand and thinking, "Ever hear of a farm jack?"
This is so cool! My parents helped me build my fence and there was no no-dig option. We talked about using an auger but alas, it was a shovel and manpower. These posts are impressive!
I love this! Lazy fence building, just what I've been hoping for. Next time Mark's in Georgia, maybe he could stop in Tennessee...where EVERYTHING is "Home Depot bucket orange". 😁
You get what you pay for and the effort that it takes.
It's always great to find out new methods to build fences! Fine job!
You're the dad that many of us never had. Tell your family we said thanks for sharing you. I love your "Dad" jokes.
I always watch videos like this and wonder how nobody ever hits rocks when driving posts. I am in NC and we have super hard thick red clay and tons of large rocks under the surface. I cant ever dig a hole without hitting at least one massive rock that takes forever to dig out
Yeah that was my comment. I'm in the Ozarks, a foot underground we have boulders the size of passenger cars. You can't drive a post like that into the ground here. Maybe in subdivisions that are built on several feet of fill, there it should work fine.
We live in Alabama. Fireants, tree roots and rocks. 🤣
Tooele County Utah. Same same.
Las Vegas caliche!
As they said, St. Augustine Florida and sandy soil. Since the yard were void of trees no roots. Good point though
I have helped build a few fences. And I just never saw one put up with anything like the ease, and lack of mess and fuss. And it actually was one of the straighter and tidier finished jobs I have ever seen as well.
The comparative absence of mess in the yard during the job, would be a significant advantage to anyone who had fussy old women around the place.
I take my hat off to you, gentlemen.
"...anyone who had fussy old women around the place." You mean like *husbands*?
@@amb7440 If the husbands are old enough, yes, there IS science to justify the idea that they become more "womanly" as their old women become more "manly".
Thank you so much for not only showing a genius way to install a no dig fence, but for making me laugh so much, ESPECIALLY at the 14:10 timestamp. That made me laugh so hard, I had to pause it and replay it. . . about five more times. I laughed harder each time. I really needed the information, and a good laugh from your comedy routine. Well done!!!
how can you say it was no dig when clearly they're digging the poles in??
Forget about the fence, I’m just here for the comedy. When y’all taking this show on the road? 🤣🤣🤣
Been looking for a way to improve my fence without removing any existing posts. Thanks for showing me this.
@Time 4 Change bless my husband. He works so hard. Not only does he work hard everyday and trucking. But when he gets home. He's always running doing working. Actually he just put in a huge gate in our fence, man I wish I would have seen this a few months ago. But it's okay all in good time. My husband is coming home this summer to do some heavy duty chores. I'm so excited. I actually have this in my savings. I want to get it for him.
He has all kinds of tools. I'm always looking for something that'll make life a little easier for him. Then I find it and he already has a tool. Hahahaha 😆 wheeze laugh 😂...
I know he doesn't have this. Nope not at all. I got the excited giggles. Something he doesn't know about or at least, we've watched the same type of videos It's hilarious. We send each other the same videos we have already watched. And we also find out we follow the same type of people.
So he might bring this up and if he does I'm going to get really excited super duper excited.
I had no idea these things existed. God bless him he already works so hard. He needs things to make life a little easier. He'll be turning 60 this year. God love him. I'm so excited. It's a rarity to find something that he doesn't have.
I like the fact that the tool drives the post with such minimum effort in operating it. The hardest part is just lifting the post with the tool on top. At first I thought you were gonna need a ladder to operate it then I just saw them push the button from the ground.
Yeah, I'd have to hire someone taller with more upper body strength than I have to make that happen. Pounding t-posts that end up 5-6 feet tall is my height limit.
You're killing me! "Not till like, an hour or so after lunch." 💀💀💀💀💀💀
A month before Hurricane Beryl, I build a fence with these. Three of the posts I installed in old post holes and filled in with concrete due to underground utility concern. The rest I drove directly into the ground. We ended up getting 85 mph eyewall winds. The ground was so saturated that the hurricane was able to push the fence over about 12 degrees, execpt the concreted posts didn't move, I surmise the concrete presented more surface area to reduce the square inch load against the saturated ground. Anyway, I righted all the in-dirt posts and tamped in dry soil once the ground had dried out some, easy fix, the posts are as firm as before. No posts were bent by the storm. But bulding a fence by driving these things in the ground works great!
Calling him substantial then proceeding to get roasted forgetting screws was just a hilarious bro moment
Love the narrating. It's nice to have a sense of humor when doing projects like this!👍😉
I love seeing how you guys in the USA do things, we still do a lot of digging here in England, and set concrete posts into concrete mix, then have pre made 6 foot wide feather edge wood panels sit on a 1 foot concrete gravel boardl, the cost of which is now around 90 to 120 pounds sterling per 6 foot run or bay, a good 2 man crew can do 20 to 25 bays a day including ripping out old fence, its hard heavy work and I'm glad I am retired , love your humour haxman always a joy watching your vids
Most people in US do it same as you. The steel post method is used by a very limited number of companies.
MY SOIL IS NOT THE SAME AS THIS , ROCKS AND HARD AS A BRICK CLAY .
Lol im here in america and majority of people are not using this machine lmao
Around here, we use 8 ft 4x4 pressure treated pine posts, 8 ft 2x4 pressure treated pine rails, and 6 ft cedar pickets (typically 6" wide) with one nail diameter between the pickets to allow for the wood to expand and shrink when it wet. The posts are set in concrete and optimally the hole for the post is deep enough that you don't have to cut any of it off for it to be even with the top rail. Current price at Home Depot is $12.48 for the 4x4s, $3.97 for an 80-lb bag of concrete (probably one needed per post hole), $7.58 for the 8 ft 2x4s, and $3.74 for the cedar fence pickets.
According to the link he provided for the steel posts, they are currently wanting around $95-100 for the 9 ft ones he said he was using in the video... Compared to around $16.50 if you do it the 4x4 post and concrete way... As a homeowner, you would need to rent that powered post driver which is probably not that much different than renting a powered post hole digger / auger...
I wish we did that here in the US. Would last a lot longer.
The skits and jokes are just hilarious in this one 😂😂😂
Now that is definitely what I need. I'm constantly fighting the North West winds, snow blown, rain and hail storms blowing me timbers.
I need me one of those fences. Fences are great especially when your neighbors suck. Next year I'll do it to it.
Ooh I felt that. Neighbors have 3 snarling dogs that they don’t care incessantly bark every time I walk in my own driveway day or night. They’re an older couple tho I get that they’re tired. But maybe don’t have 3 wild dogs idk 🤷♀️
Wow! I'm impressed and can't wait to show my husband. We are going to put up a small privacy fence and this is exactly how I want it done.🥳 Can't thank you enough for sharing with us!! 🤗
Let him do it his own way
Don’t do it this way please
THE FUNNIEST PART @ 10:40, "Did you just deprecate in my yard dude?
The hammer skit was hilarious 😂😂😂 2:38
These videos are very entertaining . love the little jabs these two handed out.. That Scottish accent 😂👍
Lmao @ 14:53
I knew it was going to happen and was hoping you'd tilt back, but oh well. Great job! I'll have to talk to my neighbor that owns a fencing company if he ever looked into this
I definitely gotta install a No Dig Privacy Fence Fast. After all, you know what everybody always says: "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors."
Love your humor-But I just don’t like to think about that”gas” awhile after you eat😅😂❣️
Love love love the idea of a "no dig" fence, BUT, how does this system work in areas where digging an average post hole produces more softball to basketball sized rocks than dirt ? There have been many times when I had to remove rocks the size of a bag of Portland to put a post where it had to go.
This system isn't for that :)
@@kylekoenig4730 Agreed.
I think it'll typically push aside rocks that are similar to softball sized. But much bigger you start to have issues.
Of course no matter how ya do posts it'll suck when you have boulders everywhere
Would it be much different than a cole chisel or hammer drill against rocks? Using that hammer-driver, it may be that these would break through baseball-sized rocks, depending on the steel hardness.?.
I'd imagine if they made the post with a hardened steel on the leading edge and maybe have it somewhat sharpened like a Rock chisel it would go through just fine using an impact driver like they used or even a sledgehammer or post driver
This is awesome! I bet Milwaukee will make a battery powered one of those in the near future
Just because of the response to “Do you have any gas?” ……instantly Subscribed.
I've been building fence for 30 years and these guys have quality work but still no substitute on not digging holes
Looks like a tough job for one person. I can dig a hole and set posts alone
No need for employees to whine about needing more money and more time off in the same day!
@@sixcolors4226
It’s DYI, why would you have employees? Easiest way to build a fence is to hire a fence company
& Muck is not stable 🤔
Post n concrete is better
@@Swanlord05 actually concrete is thee WORST thing to use on wood post. Wood post should be pea stone packed.
I’d really love to see this method used in north ga. I’ve dug through concrete that softer than our soil. Especially the areas with granite.
I was thinking the same thing, I'm in south Ga. Lol
Same here in the Arkansas Ozarks with limestone boulders in the ground
Yeah, I was gonna comment, "how amazing it must be to be installing a fence on a planet where rocks don't exist!"
Exactly takes me an hour to bury a chicken
I built a fence at my parents house in Oklahoma. It took two auger bits to dig the holes because the ground (clay) was so hard. I completely wore the first bit dies smooth. Took it back to Home Depot and got another one. I barely got the rest of the holes dug with the second bit.
This was absolutely fantastic. I've never seen a fence like this where no digging was needed. Thank you for posting this!!!! My wife is the handy person in the family and put up a fence in our yard, and the back area has to be re done, and we are definitely going to try this out. Thank you again, and you guys did a great job and were very entertaining at the same time.
We used to push t-post into the ground with a frontend loader all day long back in the 80s. Took about 10 seconds per fence post.

Oh my gosh I completely lost it whenever he asked for gas you said about an hour after lunch. No gasoline ....😆🤣😂lmao that made me spit up my coffee all over my desk. But seriously I like the way that fence was put up.....thanks again for the laughs..... And you're great videos thanks for posting 😎👍
😂 So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Without a doubt the best new tool and fencepost system to date. No dig!
This is a pretty slick way to build a fence. However where I live has very rocky ground. I could see this being a problem trying to go this route for a build.
This still looks like a whole lot of work and where would a person even find one of those metal post hole pounding gadget machines !?!? Haha
So concrete them ……
@@matthewking6509 kinda defeats the “no dig” feature
It's a jackhammer. Add the right attachment to go on the post.
I was thinking the same thing I’ll just do it myself the slow old fashioned way
You can go to hertz and rent one also with attachments
You crack me up! I love the humor in your videos. You have my "pernision" to keep up the good work!😂

Cool equipment....though I have rocky soil so was looking for no dig....to avoid rocks. Not sure if that is possible. So, this is no digging...but pounding with fancy equipment. Cool option if you have the right soil and some extra cash for the equipment.

Imagine living a couple miles away in Cheyenne and randomly watching this on UA-cam. 😆
It only took me 3 or 4 fence videos to put my finger on it, but its no wonder Mark looks familiar 😂 I was already subbed to him and spent a couple nights binge watching a few months ago lol
The fence posts are what made it click in my head cause Im pretty sure the first video I saw was him showcasing the newest (at the time) model of postmaster posts
I would love to see you guys try to build a fence like that here in the southwest. It would not even go in 5 inches when you would have to start digging! Lol
also would not work in Florida unless you are going to pound that post 8 feet plus into the ground. to much sand here making everything shift to easily.
concrete block wall
Looks like a good system as long as they make longer posts to get below the frost line for northern installations.
?!
I may never build any of the things shown in Haxman’s videos, but I can’t get enough of his humor!
Missing how to do corners and gates. Thanks for leaving in all the "mistakes".😀
Man, wish I had known about this a few weeks ago. Very nice and sturdy!
Me Too 😮 I paid $4,800 for professional to put in new fence & posts (wood & concrete) Now, my fence posts are leaning 😡 Don’t recommend Chesapeake fence in Va. !! Oh, they also left all extra concrete pieces when they left & I have dogs & yes they tried to eat it 😡
Another cracking vid, sir... you looked like you were having the time of your life there😀
The setup with your property is really interesting for us Brits to see as it highlights a difference we have in our boundries/gardens... namely here in the UK we tend to have clearly defined boundry-lines that are usually fenced/hedged or walled and not 'open' such as you seem to enjoy on your side of the pond. I know there are exceptions but it seems to be 'a thing' that is different. Keep it up Sir😎
Thanks so much! Yeah, smaller neighborhood lots tend to be fenced while larger lots tend to not be fenced over here at least in the part of the country where I live.
Does home Depot or Lowe's rent thosev
I like it. How much to do my fence? Wait a minute, I don’t even have a house yet. 😏 great job! 👍
I'm sure the comparison has come out many times before, but Haxman definitely gives off John C. Reilly vibes. Voice even sounds the same lol.
This was the most entertaining video I’ve watched in a very long time. Learned a lot also. Nice Job guys
Great looking fence! Fantastic no dig setup. Congrats on 100K subs! It’ll be a million in no time.
Thank you so much!
except that what they do (e.g. 4:44) IS digging. You can hit utilities or rocks, so it's not a true "no dig" video -- misleading title, thumbs down. It's just not STANDARD digging
Lmfao dont be depreciating in my yard 😂😂😂
I don't care about fencing or fire pit, but I can't stop watching..
I am not often impressed with new methods. But this technique has more pros than cons. I am a fan of this project. I want to rent the driver and make this happen asap.
Good work guys. I'm gonna call this top notch on the fencing industry.
However, I do have a few questions.
The metal that you drive into the ground. How long on average does that need replaced compared to pressure treated 4x4s?
Where do you get the metal post tamper?
Where do you get the metal posts?
I think that's about it.
Let me know. Thanks guys
A bit skeptical, how well does this work in a location with lots of rocks and shale?
I was thinking the same thing. Don't think it would work...
@@TheTownWatch Yeah, forget this in Connecticut, affectionately known as the state of rocks.
@@lorikirksted2794 using this method? Thanks for providing insight!
I'm east of Albuquerque and our soil is caliche, stone , and rubble with a smattering of old concrete from the route 66 demolition.
We put up about 400 feet of 6 foot T-post fence spaced at 6 apart.
I was also skeptical but can honestly say I have rarely been that impressed with a tool. The T-posts MELTED into the ground. It was unreal. Took us about a minute a post. I have never been so happy with a 120$ spent
Out of all the posts we only had 3 that needed to be repositioned due to obstructions and we kind of knew that area was going to be a PIA.
One neat thing is that once you have the post in 90% you can just let the driver rest on top without pulling down and you can shake the post which allows you to tilt it back and forth and bring it to a more perfect level.
Also get some mechanics gloves because ooooh boy vibrations.
While staying in the Florida Keys in the 80s, a hurricane went over Cuba and when it got to Key West, within 30 minutes it made a 90 degree turn and went straight up the keys. I turned off the radio when it was at Key West thinking it was heading straight north...what a surprise.
Alright Mr. HAXMAN, make a video of how to install a fence on hilly ground and then I'll be impressed! Dealing with the dips and such. I really haven't seen anyone do a very good video on this topic yet.
YESSSS!!!!
This post pounder tool is cool but how does it handle when u hit a decent size rook or root that obstructs it's path?
That’s my question as well.
Depends on the rock type. Out west it'd probably just split the sandstone rock. On the east coast where there's granite it'd probably veer off or stop.
Been in/around the fence business for 30+ years. It is an interesting idea, especially for a temporary fence need. We are all about saving time and body. In the varied soils it would be a difficult install. My main issue would be the longevity. It's not super uncommon to have to go fix someone else's concrete installed post due to movement over time with wind loosening the soil around it. I fear you'll have a wavy, loose fence before long. That being said, good video. BTW, There are a couple of other manufacturers that make posts like those.
It would be interesting to see how the fence looked in a couple of years after the 2x4s have had a chance to warp / bow... I replace my cedar privacy fence 14 years ago after a hurricane blew down pretty much every fence in our area... I took my time and everything was nice and straight at that time... These days though, there is a definite dip between the posts, even though it is still structurally sound... Unfortunately, the HOA Nazis have rules that prevent you from using metal posts and rails, so you're basically not allowed to build something that will last for a long time and always look good...
I agree... without the concrete poured around the posts they will loosen up in the soil over a few years and be swaying in the breeze.
@@dougscott3263 No way will these loosen. There is slight flex in the steel that will give just slightly long before the part under the soil moves, unlike a concrete type of post setting that the entire unit moves from top to bottom.
If it was temporary, how would you pull those posts back up?
@@Growmap wind pushing on the fence will eventually loosen the posts. Given time, you would be able to pull them out by hand. Have replaced many fences over the years that have no concrete or any type of footing around the posts They look "good" for maybe a year or in the case of picket or chain link , a couple years, but they can't take any abuse.
"The wind just blows"... best sentence ever
i love the jigs. too bad i cant fit it in my suitcase when im in the u.s.a ! love your videos guys. watching from Canada
The highlight of my afternoon is seeing a new upload from Haxman notification.
Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks!
Can you show the strength leaning and pushing on the fence now it’s done?
Had a fence company do my horse enclosure (cuz I'm too old to drive 1/5 acre of T posts - in my 70s). THEY used a post driver. I was jealous. 😄
Soldier lingo. That tells me this man is a man worthy of consideration.
I absolutely love your gravel areas. Is it gravel or crush & run? Will you do a video on how to lay gravel or crush and run?
Make sure these are allowed in your location before constructing. I know someone who has to remove his entire new fence due to local code. In fact, while checking they discovered his shed wasn't up to code and that also has to go!
It's almost as if you don't own your own property. Free my ass...
@@dadsquatch79 exactly! What would be the reasoning behind not allowing this? One has to ask.
@@fadedglory1045 there can be a number of reasons. From ecological reasons to outdated best practice standards. General codes are updated often enough and newer products aren’t known to inspectors so they disallow anything outside the norm. Only instance that I know of where a product was specifically prevented from being used in an area because it’s failure rate was too low was PEX in the Chicago area. The plumbers union prevented it from being allowed in the code because a huge part of their came from bust pvc when freezing temperatures started.
@@dadsquatch79 It's not always that cut and dried a lot of the code in Florida for things like that are to keep it from blowing away in a hurricane and killing your neighbor after it flies through their window.
best advice I can give as well is to call A surveyor before you build , last thing you want to do is build over your property line
"If you know the kind of wind in Wyoming, it blows." 😂
A new country song. I wear my sunglasses on my cap. Lol
Make sure you call for locates first. Hit a power line or a gas line with one of those & it won’t end well
Great video men. I'm from Western Nebraska and I know about that Wyoming wind. I built a house in Cheyenne Wyoming. That no dig post is great. One question that comes to mind from this part of the country is if you run into rocky soil how does that affect everything, setting post-wise?
Go huskers and cowboys !
🤣😂😂 “are your arms tired” I shouldn’t have giggled but I did
Exactly, it figures that they would have the most ideal conditions ever....
No dirt, no hard ground, no rocks,
Just totally flat level grass.
I wonder how good that post driver would work on ground where you hit rock every three inches?
It wouldn't, it would break the machine and probably bend the pole.
Was thinking the same thing. In
SWMO that would not work.
@@MrTellurien yup
Would love to see a video of building this fence on a slope.

BS fence, aint gonna last.
Invest in a high lift jack and some chain. Use the chain and high lift jack to pull it out.
I use my Kubota tractor bucket and a 6 ftchain. I have hooks on the bucket, and just wrap the chain around the post with a clove hitch, hook it to the bucket and pull straight up. Never fails

Scrap the wood and I would be happy with it, first rule;
More steel,grooves/bolts/screws, instead of the wood, ALSO IF you decide to use that wood, thats not going to last for 20+ years, use structural, heavy duty, exterior wood screws, instead of those tiny nails.
I honestly, at this point, from looking/paying attention to A LOT of houses, that fall apart, the first rule I would make about building a house, is no wood out side, that includes windows framings,eves, porches, garage doors/garage doors, should be steel and insulated as well, for the structure its self,steel,rebar,concrete/brick, are ALL good options.
Second rule would be no wood should be used for structure support/wood should ONLY be used inside for decorative/pliable projects,ease of access, meaning for book shelves/shelves, interior walls, I do need steel plates behind SOME of my walls though.
Third rule is have a metal roof OR slate roof, with gutters with gutter guards, also control water/french drains,underground down spout extensions/drains,water barriers,pumps, IF needed,SOME of this depends on where you live.
I also would want ALL 20AMP outlets and breakers, or higher, no 15amp outlets or breakers, ALSO adequate wire as well, suitable for upgrades as well, so either 10-gauge or 8-gauge or above/better,nothing below, also SOME of this, would depend on use scenario,BUT I would still NEVER use 15amp outlets,20AMP OR above.
Two whole house surge protectors, one on the outside and one on the inside.
I would ALSO need a generator,battery storage/back up and solar.
A whole house reverse osmosis system, that adds vitamins and minerals back into the water.
An endless hot water heater/system Is needed.
ALSO EVERYTHING, toilets,bath tubes,sinks,dishwashers,Washer machines,Hot water Heater/ANYTHING that needs water, NEEDS an individual cut off valve, meaning you can stop water to that one thing, without effecting anything else,pipes should be easily accessed, with big OR adequate access panels, the WHOLE house, NEEDS a inside cut off lever/valve as well.
Long screws OR bolts, for doors/door frames, ALL doors inside, NEED to be exterior doors/durable steel doors, with LONG bolts or screws, in the deadbolt side and hinge side, A LOT of screws/bolts, behind the weather stripping, for support,long strike plates, door/lock cover, protection, to prevent doors from splitting, ALSO ASSA locks, so you get good, drill protection, bump protection, dead bolt cutting protection/heavier duty locks in general, also security screens,for windows, also good wiring/ALL switches NEED a neutral wire/white wire, for smart switches, also a good, pre-drilled security camera system, that uses POE/Power Over Eithernet/one cable, for internet and power, most likely you will also need some type of wifi extenders as well.
ALL LEDs, NO halogens,Incandescents OR CFLs, ALSO adequate bright LED security lighting, all around the house, also fences and gates.
These would be my requirements/WERE my requirements when I built a house.
The house I grew up in, was made of wood and most of the house is now missing pieces of wood/unfortunately its a piece of junk, my grandparents built a brick house, the brick still looks brand new, their windows/window frames and garage doors/shingle roof/porches,needed replacing, numerous times, this goes back to my first rule, no wood outside.
Rather than drilling, I would have used some self tapping screws.
From Cowboy 1: Why not leave a little space between the boards so the whole fence doesn't turn into a sail during high winds and possibly knock the fence over. I wish I had the engine-driven post driver. It would have helped my torn rotator cuffs at 79. Kudos to the guys from the Cowboy state.
