I should imagine that the number of views this vid gets will increase massively over the next couple of days!! Thanks for the tip and taking the time to post the video - very helpful indeed!
Aye...my fence has been ashed to oblivion ..hence why I'm here...as I type I'm pretty sure the other side of the garden wall has now also been demolished 😢😢
BIG LN...... i say a big n huge thank you. I had to replace four 6'x6' panels in concrete posts. Same problem of how to hold them when they will go 12' high in the air. So your advice tip was the perfect solution saving the need of a second person's help. I know that advice came through the years of experience. Thank you once again.
Big Al - thank you. I have been despairing over the UK weather....also I am quite short but I think this will work. I just have to have the confidence to do it on my own. Thank you again!
@@alanmunce7824 fair comment , but why not cut the panels to size easy to do and would look very professional , im in the process of adapting mine because you cant get panels for love nor money round here , ...good technique for lifting , luckily ive managed to push my panels into position
gonna try this, literally stumped, figured out the same technique, but thought the only way I can do it is screw on some kitchen handles, hahaa, gonna see if the string method works right now😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️💪
It didn’t work, almost broke my leg, getting pulled off the step ladder, by the falling panel. Solved the problem a safe way. Wooden posts with metal channel clips. Standard clips for the bottom and middle points, but cut out a centre section from each clip and made two new clips, which have the appearance of the orhers, but which attach after installation, so you can just fit the bottom and middle clips, making a one man lift very safe and quick. Job solved😛😛🤣🤣🤣💪💪💪🤣❤️❤️❤️
That great. I got my son to help with my 6x5 ones BUT that easy slotting down doesn't work - the space seems about 2 inches smaller at the top! I am going to start by trying to shave some wood down the side I suppose.... why are these jobs always so difficult in my case? Nothing ever goes to plan even though I carefully measured - at the bottom it is indeed 6 foot and the new panels are 6 foot.
This works 🤙, nice one Al… check out 1:55 this also happened to me. If you have good balance and footwork ‘like Al’ your be fine. If you can do this with 2 people, doing it this way is a doddle. 🤜🤛
It doesn’t work, just tried it and almost broke my leg😭😭🤣🤣❤️ Better to use metal clips to the middle of the panel, then adapt a clip for each side, so it can be fixed after mid height installation. Pair of tin snips, a drill and a file for clean-up, super safe and easy, plus it looks almost identical, to a normal clip.
I mean, am I the only one that noticed you didn't even use the loops after you fell off?! 😂 great idea though! Is it simple to shorten a 6ft x 3ft down to a 6ft x 2ft?! Thanks
Beware of this technique. Looks great - and managed to put up three panels on my own but resulted in me having two months off work with severe back pain as I badly sprained my back muscles. First month unable to get out of bed. Might be OK if you are tall young and fit but I am none of them!
Great for the smaller panels but taking them out & putting back in with the 6ft panels is a 2 man job. Just noticed the bottom of your panels don't have a batten brace. My 6ft panels didn't have any so I'm having to put some on the underside now as the panels in the centre bow out over the concrete gravel board 😩
Alan Munce Thanks, but I meant on a existing fence with posts cemented already. Lifting up 60-70kg gravel board over my head it’s impossible I’m going to need another pair of hands.
so this is 30cm gravel board with 6x6 panels? I wonder how long the fence posts are and how many cm of the fence posts are underground? it seems that a post extender is needed to level the tops?
That's very risky. Job was made that much easier due to the shorter posts. Also, a better quality fence, such as a Closeboard, is so much heavier, which will require assistance, unless your name is Giant Haystacks! Otherwise, hernia here we come! 😢
This will not work with heavier paling panels, the string will snap or it will cut straight through your hand and oh look he's cheating! Only 5ft posts! Hahaha
Just what I needed to know! Saved me a few bob paying an 'expert' to do it! Thanks Big Al!

Why would you put 6foot panels in 5 foot posts 😂
thank you for sharing. you've made it look so easy.
Well done mate! Good thinking! Glad you didn't fall. Job well done. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome thanks. Had a bloody nightmare being a short arse! Nice recovery from that fall too 😉
Haha - Great tip - Nice to see you didn't edit the bit when you went sailing! I shall be using your great tip later today - Thanks Alan
Great idea - but why didn’t you use shorter panels that match the height of the posts correctly?
They were on offer.
You get nice spy gaps with these panels..if you want to be nosey or just annoying…
Used this to solo replace 6 6ft panels today. You are an absolute legend for making and posting this.
Really made my day a lot better, thank you!
Surely just " useful " ? Not exactly a ' LEGEND ' !!!!!!
@@blinkyblonk4912 No, LEGEND about describes it!
Excellent tip, got this job tomorrow.

Great video, thanks. We got few panels blow up recently and looking how to replace, will give it a go tomorrow.
Thanks.
Loop idea is great - I'm having issue fitting them at the moment so will try this out!
Big Al - thank you. I have been despairing over the UK weather....also I am quite short but I think this will work. I just have to have the confidence to do it on my own. Thank you again!
Lovely job. Thank you for your help.
Well done, Alan! I was at the point of buying a jib & tackle! Thank you!
Great tip. I was just about to look for someone to help me drop one panel in when I came across this. Thanks
Thanks worked a treat enjoyed the challenge great presentation
Your welcome👍
You are an absolute legend of a man
why are you fitting a 6' fence when the poles installed are for 5' fence panels it looks crap
Yeah but I got them dirt cheap. Got to keep the dogs in. 👍
@@alanmunce7824 fair comment , but why not cut the panels to size easy to do and would look very professional , im in the process of adapting mine because you cant get panels for love nor money round here , ...good technique for lifting , luckily ive managed to push my panels into position
I use 2 13ft straps wrapped around the panel top to bottom you can then use both hands to lift
Thanks Alan. This trick really helped me.
Thanks daughter n I will give this a go Sunday 🤞💪
You are an absolute star.
Simple. I'm impressed.
Great tip! Thanks mate👍🏼💪🏼👏🏼
you know, what would we do without Big Al 's pro tips. brilliant mate. Nearly died laughing when ya come off the chair like x
yeah horror movies don't scare me, but seeing that stool wobble under ya feet made my heart skip a beat!
Big help thanks
Good effort Big Al, I'll be using this for mine tomorrow 👍🏼
Yeah, I’ve got to do this on my own with a public footpath on the other side. Your video helped a lot, thanks mate.
You are amazing, I have to do the same job on my own. Thank you 😊
Awesome , very helpful video Thank you .👍🏼
I'm still an imbecile, I'll ask the neighbours to help me 🤣
Very difficult if you have elderly next door neighbours. Going to try tomorrow, great tip Al!!
Thanks for the simple solution and well done for installing the panel ! I know how hard it is without loops .Cheers Eddie
Lifesaver thank you!
Don't think I could ever do this. I'm a single female living alone. One panel blew away in Monday's storm.
Nice recovery 👍
Nice one Alan
Thank you, didn’t think it was possible to do it by yourself. 👍👍
Great advice 👍🏿
gonna try this, literally stumped, figured out the same technique, but thought the only way I can do it is screw on some kitchen handles, hahaa, gonna see if the string method works right now😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️💪

Yeah thanks for the info but also put your steps nearer the middle of your plywood next time.😂😂😂
Well done!

Love the cat.
Here after Eunice. Thanks.
what a hero.
Fair play. How would you get on with a close-boarded or feather edge fence, because they are much heavier?
It doesn’t work, just tried it and almost broke my leg😭😭🤣🤣❤️ Better to use metal clips to the middle of the panel, then adapt a clip for each side, so it can be fixed after
mid height installation. Pair of tin snips, a drill and a file for clean-up, super safe and easy, plus it looks almost identical, to a normal clip.
I put them in on my own daily 😃👌
You can call him Al !!!!!!!! Beast
Great way to fall and break an ankle or wrist, stool not stable or central. 😂
geez, I almost had a heart attack when you nearly fell. Just get someone to help you lol
awesome content
thank you! legend!
its easier with a cherry picker ???
2:18 he farted 😅😩
I mean, am I the only one that noticed you didn't even use the loops after you fell off?! 😂 great idea though!
Is it simple to shorten a 6ft x 3ft down to a 6ft x 2ft?! Thanks
We all know why you’re here lol.
P.s Thank you for this!
6ft panels 5ft posts ????
Nice one 👍 subscribed. Wondered how I'd do it? Sorted
Better to two Man it lol. Especially when there wet
Ditto.Same dilemma. Damp definitely adds weight, so that the final phase of slotting is impossible. Shall ask around for help.
Beware of this technique. Looks great - and managed to put up three panels on my own but resulted in me having two months off work with severe back pain as I badly sprained my back muscles. First month unable to get out of bed. Might be OK if you are tall young and fit but I am none of them!
Great for the smaller panels but taking them out & putting back in with the 6ft panels is a 2 man job. Just noticed the bottom of your panels don't have a batten brace. My 6ft panels didn't have any so I'm having to put some on the underside now as the panels in the centre bow out over the concrete gravel board 😩
How do you slot a gravel board yourself?
Put the gravel boards down when I put the concrete posts in. It helped get the spacing correct between the posts. 👌
Alan Munce Thanks, but I meant on a existing fence with posts cemented already. Lifting up 60-70kg gravel board over my head it’s impossible I’m going to need another pair of hands.
Yeah but they are 5 foot posts 😂
so this is 30cm gravel board with 6x6 panels? I wonder how long the fence posts are and how many cm of the fence posts are underground? it seems that a post extender is needed to level the tops?
They're still standing - just wanted to show how I lifted the panels on my own, hopefully the tip will help some other amateur diy'er like myself.
@@alanmunce7824 I knew that Alan,the. Idea is great 👍 I bet a lot of people have used the point you were making 👏🙂
M8 your a savour
The fence panels are too big for the posts
My budget was to small for the right size. Had to get the ones on offer👌
That step stool looks a bit precarious!
That's very risky. Job was made that much easier due to the shorter posts. Also, a better quality fence, such as a Closeboard, is so much heavier, which will require assistance, unless your name is Giant Haystacks! Otherwise, hernia here we come! 😢
Loooool bro just get someone to help you
Just get a friend to help you lift it.
Yea but your posts are not same height,why taller panels,was you tape broke 😂
You are comical without realising it 👏🤣👍
Great tip thanks, but the sound of your water feature made me want to pee...
EMBARRASSING

bollox
Or get someone to help you mmmmm
This will not work with heavier paling panels, the string will snap or it will cut straight through your hand and oh look he's cheating! Only 5ft posts! Hahaha
Lol it was improvised to work with th panels I had 👍
Didn't look to affective,.😮
