My deck railing came out fantastic exactly following these instructions. Everyone loves the look and some are even going to copy it.
We love hearing this. Thank you for sharing!
I enclosed my daughters yard years ago with this method. Consider repainting the hog panels black, painted black they give the illusion of being invisible. Very cool look.
I so wish this video was up in May of 2016 when I started my deck railing project!!!! I couldn't find any info on these, and it took me all summer to figure out. Love the show!
loved your design and used it....awesome thank you for posting such a clear and precise instructional video
This is solid. Thanks for the great tutorial, bro! I am almost done with my back deck and was torn on railing ideas. This sold me. I got all my posts mounted today and hoping to have all my frames ready to pick up hog wire next week.
This is perfect. Very glad I found this video and the website. I'm using galvanized black PVC coated hogwire instead, it should look great with a dark stain with cedar boards!
Thanks for this tutorial! I'll have to rent the power tools, but I'm excited and feeling confident about doing this on my porch!
Outstanding videos, guys. Easy to follow. Just finishing up a treehouse platform in the backyard and going to use this awesome railing to finish it off. Also used your ships ladder video to help with ladder plan and build. Hope to see more DIY videos up on the channel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching Frank! We love the feedback, hope to make more DIYs very soon!
To all DIYers out there: These "Wild Hog" brand railing panels cost four times as much as the galvanized, unpainted generic panels available at most farm-supply stores. The generic panels have the same 4"x4" grid design but they come in 16-foot-long panels, so you have to cut them to the size you want and if you want them painted, you have to DIY.
Linda Gushue Where do you buy 4" x 4" hole 12 gauge or thickee hog wire panels ?
galwoodsSC Tractor Supply Company TSC, Runnings, Farm & Fleet etc
Thank you 👍
Rural king if you have one. We just bought the biggest ones that they had for 26 a piece. And they was the big ones
Love these. Nicely done. Can you guys put together some more? Specifically, perhaps talk about different tree situations? Or perhaps some specifics on how you might start framing off the deck?
IT is definitely our mission to continue making these! Thank you for the suggestions, i'll see if I can make those videos a priority!
Awesome man. I seen a guy screw his hand to the railing screwing from underneath 😂
these videos are so clean. it's great
As the video creator, it brings me great joy to hear this. Thank you!
Well done and easy to follow!
How are you going to keep the water and debris out of the dado cut on the bottom 2x2 to prevent dry-rot?
My exact question.
Thanks for the idea! I'm beginning to build these panels now! I am also wondering about water collecting in the bottom channel. I have found powder coated hog wire, but the ends will be bare after cutting the wire to size. I toyed around with the idea of tiny rubber caps over the ends of the wire, but I may just place a dab of paint on the ends to help protect them. Have you seen any issues with the rust causing any sort of staining on the finished panels? THANKS!
It really just depends on your budget and your imagination! That's whats so great about carpentry!
use the bed liner in spray can to paint them back
Dude. You are the man. Great video but how do you get a carpenter pencil that sharp?!
Awesome job. Where do you purchase your hog wire panels? Are the panels galvanized and do you ever paint the panels? Thanks for any info.
Will the floating hog panel in the dado take 200 lbs of force before popping out? Won't the bottom board dado rot from collecting moisture? Great video!
Thomas if it collects moisture and has no escape, it being pressure treated should still last 15+ years easily.
PT let ground contact is rated to last that long, 15-25 years essentially submerged or in contact with moist dirt.....
If you wanted, you could drill 2 or 3 small weep holes each rail so it doesnt fill up. Which I would do anyways
Could add spacers like this video ua-cam.com/video/0J8q_Lsh4fU/v-deo.htmlm52s
Did not see answer to the gauge of hog wire used - anybody know? And where to get it?
Using a dado blade to make a channel for the hog wire seems crazy to me as the wood is definitely going to rot.I just used a drill press and drilled individuals holes for each wire in the hog wire now there's no way for water to get in there and slowly rot 2x2 out.
What type of rope did you use for the swings on the bear observation treehouse in PA? Thanks
what is the measurement of the offset? doing this on my deck and wasnt sure if I heard it mentioned or not
Very nice
Pete how do you figure going down the stairs
Make a miter corner on the wire frame....would like to know where you get/buy the hogwire mesh?
And the bottom groove? Doesn't that trap water? Even treated, if it stays wet it'll eventually rot.
What holds the wire in place? Seems like if you push it, your going to just push it out of the frame
With rain and snow is there a concern regarding the dado holding the moisture in panel. Living in Kentucky I have this concern with premature rot.
Had this same thought as well. thought the bottom section could be a wood sandwich or cut the channel all the way through. Other option might be drip holes ... one between each metal post end. They might get clogged over time. Drip holes on my tire swing has worked well and prevents a mosquito breeding ground from forming.
Excellent instruction! Straight forward easy to follow. I'm taking this application to my wrap around porch. More videos dude.
Thank you Jerry! I hope to release more soon, i'd love to see some final photos of that wrap around porch!
Thanks! Can you make a tutorial on how to build a frame for a wall?
Amazing thank you
I am thinking of doing a 5 foot tall fence in my front yard. will this project scale up to that size?
I don't see why not! You might have to change the construction up a bit in order to accommodate for the large size of the fence panels? Maybe instead of using the Dado method, you could sandwich the hogwire panel between two 2x4s and use crown staples to hold the hogwire in place. Get creative! There's no one specific way to go about this!
excellent video - I was wondering the ideal gauge of the wire to use with the 4X4 space - I'm guessing 4 or maybe 6 gauge - is that what you used ? I think it's important because so many other gauges may bend too easily
If I've watched this video once, I've watched it a dozen times. This is exactly the look I was hoping to find. I was wondering about your wire panels. Were you able to find some that weren't galvenized and age them yourself or did you do something different to end up with that color? I really appreciate this video and am looking forward to bringing it to life! Thanks again!
what do you suggest the minimum gauge of the hog wire deck panels?
Why do the dado's need to be opposite each other?
The galvanized "wire" part of the hogwire panel is 1/4" thick. When you look at the actual construction of the hogwire panels, it's 1/4" thick "wire" stacked on 1/4" thick "wire". The horizontal and vertical sections of the hogwire panel don't sit on the same plane. If you don't offset the dado, you would have to bend the wire inwards for it to fit into the dado, which can be difficult and also cause the frame to twist. The offset dado puts the kerf naturally where the hogwire dives into the cut.
Thanks for the video. I plan to use a version of this design on for my deck railings. The deck posts are currently 8ft O.C. Do you have any suggestions for extrapolating this to that wide of a span? 2 of these panels, and maybe just a support block under the center of the span to keep the 2x4 bottom rail from sagging?
Hi Ted, we would recommend checking span tables online so you can determine the correct beam size - it will also depend on what sort of structure you are putting on the deck.
@@NelsonTreehouseSupply Good afternoon, thanks for the reply. To clarify I was referring to the framed hog panel railings and if you had any recommendations on how to adjust this design to accommodate an 8 foot railing section. E.g. do you recommend just making 2 panels about 41" wide each, vs one long one?
Great job! What gauge wire did you use for the hog wire panels?
Is there an easy way to make curved hog wire panels?
Why do the dados have to go opposite?
Do you paint the hogwire? And if so what kind of paint would you use?
Thinking about this option for my treehouse and painting as well. I've painted many metal surfaces, good primer is the key to start. They have lots of good 2 in 1 spray paint and primer with loads of colors. Also thinking about using my rough surface roller and painting the same color as I'm painting my house... priming first with spray primer, and fairly dry roller should minimize drips to clean up with a brush. I saw vids of people painting crab pots with a paint sprayer to get them ready for brackish water as well, it you have that option.
All of that work you did and you didnt angle the cut on the hog wire in the stairs????
Anyone know how deep the dado blade is set
4:50 1/2 inch
"15 more!"
I couldn’t get passed the man bun!
Hog wire is smaller squares at the bottom and gets larger as it goes, this must be cow panels.
We started this project and just tested the dado blade! We have ran into a problem, our hog wire "sticks" are not a 1/4" in diameter they are in between 1/8" and 1/4". The dado doesn't go smaller than 1/4" any ideas?
If the 1/4" Dado is to large. You can run your 1x1's through a normal saw blade thickness, bump the fence over a small amount, and run them through a second time. To achieve your desired thickness.
NelsonTreehouseSupply Please clarify the bump over. Closer to center?
if the saw blade is 1/8" thick, and you make your kerf. Then bump the fence over 1/8" and make another kerf. Then your new kerf is now 1/4" thick.
NelsonTreehouseSupply Thanks so much! Love this project and I am on my way to make 20 panels.
Handy dandy notebook. Roflmfao
You could have used a little continuity in your microphone usage...parts of the video are well miked, others are from a distance, and it shows. Surprising, since all other aspects...video, etc....are really professional. Just sayin.
