I learned more practical advice in this fence video than the last 8 I watched combined. Definitely going to watch your other videos before I build my fence. Thank you!!
I don’t care what Joe Everest and Mark Olson said about you Shawn… Lol. Obviously kidding. You sir are a fantastic man, not just for the industry. Thank you so much.
Kids - find something and get good at it. As Fast Eddie said in the Color of Money- if you have an area of expertise, if you’re the best at something - anything - rich can come easy. Now whilst that may not be literally true, you’ll find purpose and satisfaction. Nothing is menial except laziness and mediocrity. Get to the meat and bones of something!!!
Hi Shawn I have a handyman business and I have a lot customers asking for fence repairs. I have learned a lot from your videos. I have two questions if you don't mind. 1) What is the math for doing section as I am only repairs? 2) How do I get one of those Straightway 2.0's ? Thanks
Wouldn’t that create a bunch of segments with straight lines vs smooth rolling changes? I would think for yards with decent grade this would be ideal, but it’s rare we get a nice grade on older property’s,
Not if it's raw lumber. It will dry out and contract. If you're using kiln dried/pressure treated then yes, a gap will prevent bucking when they expand from moisture.

Fence is going to rot on the bottom we're it is touching the ground. Correct me if wrong
I got so much out of watching this video. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video for us rookies with a weekend project

What size nails are you using? And what brand?
Hi Shawn
I have a handyman business and I have a lot customers asking for fence repairs. I have learned a lot from your videos. I have two questions if you don't mind.
1) What is the math for doing section as I am only repairs?
2) How do I get one of those Straightway 2.0's ?
Thanks
How does it stay plumb if those pickets are unevenly milled from the factory
Two minutes a section? That's insane.
All day every day
What nail gun and what size nails do you recommend for the pickets?
2 inch rink shank
Great info but please fix the volume do a voice over if you have to. Very difficult to hear with other machinery being used.

My question too. Please answer lol
I see your using a coil gun not a framing nailer. What size nails do you use with coil gun and do you suggest a coil gun vs framing nailer.
1-7/8”
Muzzling
Dr. Fence….!!!!!
What size mail you using
1-7/8”
Ok now show us how the neighbor does the other side!
except your pickets are jammed into the dirt
Why don't you leave any spacing between pickets? Isn't there a concern about expansion as the climate changes hot/cold?
Not if it's raw lumber. It will dry out and contract. If you're using kiln dried/pressure treated then yes, a gap will prevent bucking when they expand from moisture.
This is the question I was looking to ask as well
