I’ve put my fence up already !! And it was easy because of you !
Now that’s the kind of help video you need. He covered the unexpected and the obvious. It’s the small unforeseen details that get you and he did a wonderful job explaining them. God bless
I love vinyl fencing always looks so nice
Very detailed - thanks for sharing! 👏👏
Great video. This helps a lot, I plan to install this same fence.
good job...it's good to show all the little problems that everyone runs into like getting the top rail into the post and all the other things many videos show how "perfectly" everything goes together...thanks for the video
You are THE man. I 2nd what Shawn Standford said on getting all the tidbits of information missed by other videos!!! New Subscriber!!!!
Thanks for being so detailed!
Love the ending!😎
A very good DIY video, very in-depth.
Love the fence. Looks great...❌✖❌
I hope you are feeling better Tim .You and your family are in my prayers
Nice job, looks great! Lowes quoted my Mom a ton of money for a backyard similar to the one in this video so I decided to do it myself. Planning and research stage now, hopefully will have it up within the month.
Great job!! Awesome!! Thank you!!
Mine is going up as I type this. Looks easy enough and you did a nice job.
Thanks what a BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!!!!🙂
Beautifully done
Nice down to earth practical video. Great info. Thank you!
You the man!👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You’re so awesome for showing us this DIY!
Looks great , beautiful job!
I saw another video where the guy put the whole fence together first then went back and leveled and poured the posts. Seemed a lot easier and made it a one day project instead of two.
lol I watched that same video before I came across this one.
Me too. I'm trying to put my fence up. I don't know if either way makes it better 🤔
@@hector2294 you do which one you feel is easier for you
@@hector2294 which method did you take
@@Spogeboii to tell you the truth I ended up paying a neighbor that does that for a living. I did not have the time to do it on my own. Good luck with your fence.
Great job, true professional at work..
Nice job. I bet that little house in Southern California cost a fortune! Thanks for the video
Thanks for the. Video can’t wait to put mine in next month
gustavo1991 I know right I will start working on mine by tomorrow. Thanks guys!!
Excellent job,thank you so much!
Best video I have seen, very important to see the unboxing, to know what your going to get. I went to Lowes and they only had one panel that was already assembled and did not look good. Thanks for the great video!
Great video...thank you.
Really informative video ! Thank you
Dude makes it look so easy, thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for this. I will be doing this soon. ...And God bless you too!! :-)
Very nice!
We just bought a house. Your video has shown us how to do it. Thank you
God bless you sir, awesome job
I appreciate the lesson!
Thanks for the awesome video! I'm going to be doing this soon and will be going by this! Thanks!
Great I'm glad it was good information for you if you have any questions when you start your project let me know get a hold of me and if I can answer any questions so I'll help you if I can God bless
Tim's Home Improvement,
I will definitely hit you up if I have any questions bud. 👍✌️
Thanks for the video!
amazing!
That strip you added for the gaps looked a lot like j channel but I'm literally half blind so I couldn't see that good but I don't think it is j channel cause I didn't see any pre- made holes. Nice job though & Beautiful fence. There's just something about vinyl that makes a finish look so clean & pretty. I know"yes" I said pretty. I'm such a girl lol. But yeah I know a lot about vinyl siding and home repairs in general. I'm so happy that you are getting some work in. My husband is starting to pick up work too now that the weather has broke. Hello Dillon and Pamela and Savannah. Praying your work continues to come in. It's hard on Carpenters or construction workers in the colder month's. TFS🤓💓💪🤳
Always see these fence it's not soo hard (even though I couldn't do it ) but still good also love the outro
great appreciate the video!!!!!
you are the best bro thanks
Thank you for teaching us how we can make the fence like that very nice job God bless we say hi from Los Angeles California God bless
Thanks for this video now i am ready to diy
Most welcome 😊
Thank you for sharing your diy, step by step, experience. I would like to tackle this project for our backyard in Southern California before it gets too hot. Nice video...looks good. God bless 🙏🏽
Hi thank you for your comment if you have any questions about this project or anything else it has to do do-it-yourself stuff I'm the guy that asked feel free to contact me anytime thank you again God bless you all
Nice work
Good job guys
Well done.
Thank you! Very good Job.
Our pleasure!
Looks like the same fence I got at Lowe’s good idea to use a screw in the top rails inside the post so they don’t move
Thanks for sharing
Amen..Good Job
Thank you
The neighbor got a free fence
Awesome job! I am going to try this with my son if I can get him away from the video games. Subscribed as well.
great video. Am not a fence installer but I have installed fences before.. As per the instructions I received with the fence, it showed to screw the filler pieces 18:33 to the posts 3with 3 screws.
Yes, it is better to do that to keep it from pulling away from the post and ruining the seamless look. He could not do that since he put it on the board first.
in Chicago area a 18in pier would come flying out with the first wind. here we need a 42" deep for frost and 10ft 4x4 posts then the vinyl is sleeved over. also at least 3 inspections in the suburbs :)
How about some Lube on that top rail lol great vid nice job
Thank you!
Good video, thanks! Only comment would be to use a remote microphone with wind cover on future videos so sound level isn't really weak or go up.down in volume.
Not gonna lie that looks harder than a regular friends
Thanks nice work! I'm planning on doing about the same project. How do you deal with slight slope? Say like 8" over 36'? The posts need to all be 2' deep right? So the fence will have to do down hill to?
Great job the only thing I would do different is I would dig a 12" wide and 6" deep ditch from one end to the other and after I put in the post fill it with gravel. Why you ask because I don't like weed eating and it will turn the fence green from the grass hitting it.
I agree. That's an excellent idea to keep your fence clean and white at the bottom.
Or just spray weed killer along the fence every month or so.
boy to put all the posts in first you have to be "right on the money" for the spacing,,
nice man, thanks!

Good video, I just wish you guys would have started recording since the first post set up(level wise) lol
thanks
looks nice, neat and everything but looks like to me, it obstructs the air flow bec its almost too perfect.
The part you were pushing with the putty knife is supposed to get screwed into the post.
Good video though.
Because you already put cement to the post. This step you have to do after all line up
Thank you for this, very informative and helpful. Very nice job.
Could I ask what brand of fence this is? And, does that bottom rail have an aluminum rail inside to minimize sagging?
Hello Michael! This is Freedom Fencing from Lowe's. Thank you for your comment! Edit: Yes there does.
No only an 8 ft rail would have aluminum inserts for support
I like👍
Honestly, I'm getting about every five words because of the wind noise on the microphone.
So I am wanting to use thus exact setup. Are the post and panels related to one another? The reason I am asking is because I cannot find the Freedom Emblem post that go with the panels. Also would you have a parts list you would be willing to give or maybe know? Thank you.
Guys how much can cost me both sides of my home same length of the project you did in here?
How about spraying some silicone spray to help it go easier on the top rails?
Now I'm a bit confused. What I see on the shelf at Home Depot are made panels of 6 x 8 feet. Are those a different kind / style vinyl fence panels or its same as these that have to be assembled on rails? and they have made some assembly before putting up display?
I want to do this for a woman and want to know what I should charge her to install it. She has the fence and cement. She said she has everything on a pallet. I know I have to get some other supplies. Can you please let me know what to charge her. I live in Florida
If the job is going to be like the one that you see on this video and you don't have to remove anything in the ground is somewhat easy to work with you just setting posts in putting up the fence anywhere from 12 to $2,500 depending on the length of it but there are some variables you have to look at
@@timshomeimprovement5027 yes so its 18 feet long and 6 feet high and she said its white vinyl privacy fence. I've never done this before but I have a background in construction and many other things. I would be doing this my first time with someone helping. I just dont wanna overcharge her. Can you tell me everything I would need for the job
JMS first thing is you need to lay it out properly you have to start out right with the post placement you need string lines there's other videos on how to to set your posts please read the directions intensely so when you do look at these videos and other people you will know what they're talking about I set my posts Within an inch to 2 inch of play in between the panels so I don't have to cut any panels I don't have to to do any other make it fit kind of things but for somebody just starting out you need to get these posts straight up and down and make sure that she gets cement in the middle of them when you put them in the hole so please check some other videos on setting posts it take too long for me to explain how to do that but you want to go down 18 in in your hole and at least two bags of Kwikset ready quick dry cement it's the red bags that you use once you get the post set then you'll do just fine but make sure you spend all your time on digging those holes properly and setting those in line properly there's a lot of ways guys do it but you the best way to do it is set in cement but
dry overnight and then you can follow my video I hope this helps you
Wow. Great video.l! This looks so easy to do...I know I could if I tried....but curious....what does a job like this cost for that size yard? And is it an all day job?
tnredbone1 thank you 4 Callie day and Lan Wilson wow move me to tears Jesus is so good thank you for having that so I could listen to that I'm sure there's a lot more on your playlist that I'm going to listen to in answer to your question my sister it has a lot of variables for your yard starting with the ground how hard it is if there is roots in Plants along the fence line existing fences all I can tell you is if you get the materials and the labor is free your it would be a great deal materials for about 40 feet of that fencing was about $800 would like I said it all depends I hope this was I help to you once again thank you and God bless you
@@timshomeimprovement5027 Yes. It does help. Thank you so much. God Bless you as well.
Very nice job... Did you wait for the cement to cure before doing the railing?
I waited 24 hours and I also used Kwikset cement what's supposed to dry in 2 hours
I thought these fences come with the whole section as one piece already put together? I need to replace either a few slats or a section damaged by large tree branch
Awesome, thanks! Where do you buy the fence in bulk?
Hi Jason going to any Lowe's and go to the pro desk and they'll write you up give you a discount based on quantity that you buy you're more than willing to discount their products they treat me right I don't have to go anywhere else for high quantities they're very competitive hope this helps you.
Well they install it? Who can I contact to install one?
What brand of fence is that? where do you buy it?
Good video overall, but I was hoping to see how you accounted for the slope of the posts. You skipped completely over post installation.
This was fence installation check back for post installation video
i put my fence up by myself and it wasnt as hard as this guy makes it look.i installed one section at a time and leveled each post as I went .the hardest part of installing this fence is digging the hole.
I just got done putting this fence up today. Did it a little different then him. I never dug a hole till needed. I also set the bottom rail and one end of the top rail that way I could just slid it in. Super easy. Each panel and post took maybe 15mins. I had a gas post hole digger tho I got off Amazon for only $200
@@nicholashillman6091 what do u mean you didn't have to dig a hole until needed
@@nicholashillman6091what u mean never dug a hole til needed?
Can you put the pvc post over wood post?
Did you put posts exactly 96 inches apart from center?
How did you do the bottom rung?
Did you use a 4 x 4 treated post or did you you just use the vinyl post in concrete? I start my project this weekend.
Hi, this is Dillon, I was on the job with Tim. On gates/fences like this, its always a good idea to use a 4 by 4 or a 2 by 4 so you have something to screw into. It isnt always necessary to do this though. You have to have room to have the top railing on top and the bottom railing on the bottom. But if you do the proper post installation, 18 to 24 inches deep with a 1 1/2 to 2 bags of cement, it should be real sturdy. Another tip, you can pour cement inside the actual post when you fill the outside first. That will give you an extreme amount of strength. Whenever you pour cement inside, make sure you leave enough room to join the bottom rails and the top rails.
@@DiecastShowcase Are all PVC posts the same diameter? Are some 4 " posts and some are 5" posts? I need to put a fence in for my parents to replace a wooden fence. If the fence height is 4 ft the post would be 6 ft, correct. That means 2 ft of PVC into the ground. In order to make sure the rails can be inserted, an inside wooden post can not come up higher than the cutout for the rails. Is this correct. I like the idea of sinking a wooden post but then , is it still necessary to add the concrete or are you always going to add concrete no matter what the case.

Vinyl posts are free standing. There is no need to use wood whatsoever. Pour your concrete in your hole and slide the post down into the concrete so that the post is “stuffed”. Always stuff your post! If you just pour around the post the vinyl will expand and contract and the will settle. The movement will also eventually break your footing and the post will become out of plumb. 18-24” is NOT sufficient hole depth! Always dig your holes a minimum of 28” to ensure you are below the frost line. If you don’t, it will cause “frost heave” and the post will lift up, creating a crappy looking fence that might just fall over.
If you are in a high wind area, you can use steel post inserts. These are inserted into the post and set into the concrete in conjunction with the vinyl. For line posts they sell these in a z shape to allow the rail to slide into the post from both sides.
If these steps were not followed with the fence shown in the video, that fence will look like crap in a year. The posts will become out of plumb and the tops will not be level.
Wow! You're fast. You put up that whole fence in 22 min. Lol. Really though, how long did it take to put that up. It's a Very nice job.👌👌👌
Hi Shannon. If two people, knowing what they are doing, such as me and my son, could have done this fence in one day, but we chose to do it in two days. Thank you for watching.
Tim's Home Improvement where are you located what city
what is the center to center on this freedom fence?
What’s the brand and style of that fence?
what kind of fence did you buy(mfg)? Where do you buy that type? Lowes or Menards?
what is the easement for, "a rat"? i mean what could you possibly get in that space other than a rat. LMAO good vid though
Nice ! do you do this for work ?
Yes I do all phases of construction remodel
Any way to roughly calculate the time needed for this assuming an average handy person is doing this for the first time and do poles need to be left to cure, after pouring concrete?
A few things depend on how long it takes you if you have someone helping you and you can use Quick dry cement it takes about 2 hours to cure and it's only a dollar more $2 a bag more you can dry set the post's and you won't have to wait the 2 hours if you have two people that are pretty handy you could do this in two days day and a half
Can you get a pedestrian gate with it.
yes
It's almost been a year. How do you feel about the fence now? Does it hold up well against the elements? Where did you insert the 4 by 4s? Only at the gates?
As far as I know the fence is doing great and put four by fours on gate openings yes
And if u want the post to stay solid long term don't use a wood post inside but rather slide 4 re-bar into the concrete inside the post... then once the fence is assembled fill the post about 2/3 full of a wet, but stiff mix, of concrete. Put duct tape over the open end of the bottom rail first so the concrete doesn't run into it when u fill the post. Also be sure to screw on hinge and latch hardware before filling the posts.
I assume the neighbor didn’t want to split the cost of the fence. But if she she later decides to take down the stone wall, she benefits from the vinyl fence for free.
How much per foot for materials and how much should I charge for labor does that include demo and dump fees ? Or charge extra?
Jess there are a lot of variables to consider if there is roots in the ground if there's a concrete you have to break up from old fence posts if you're putting in a gate or fence opening I don't know if it's on level ground it's hard to give a pricing and also if you're in a different state where it's cold if there's Frost in the ground you have to put in you have to dig a little bit deeper and you have to make allowances for freezing over for the cement in the post hole so there's a few things it's really hard to give a price the best I could say is you just figure out how long it would take you to do and how many guys and the materials and stop putting per square foot I hope that helps you
Each panel cost me $58 (bought off season and bulk) each post was around $30.
Do you need wooden fence post on the inside? Or the vinyl post are good enough?
Just Vinyl
