Forget the person who called you a moron. I love that you brought your baby out in the beginning and you made this look so easy im ready to try it. Thank you 😊
Love how you switched to fops haha. Goated.
Just converted a 10 ft section of my fence into a double gate! Thank you so much for posting this video as this was incredibly helpful!
Thanks! I love how you own your life and the limited time you have to do these projects.
Hello Chris. I've watched a few of your videos now and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Your energy and jovial attitude is infectious. Please keep up what you are doing, it's truly great!
Hey thank you so much for the incredibly kind words. It means a lot to get feedback like this and I very much appreciate
I can’t agree with you more!! Chris , you’re like s breath of fresh air in this complicated world! Your creativity and talent is innate and infectious! Many blessings to you and your family. Congratulations on your success
That foam is super cool. Never seen that before!
Super helpful. Need to put up a double gate and watching your video gave me some ideas I needed. Thanks for posting this!
Flip flops for the win !! i do most of my outside work in flip flops! i just filled in a hole from where an old dilapidated shed used to be. Previous homeowner just let it rot and sink into the ground. Once the shed was out,it took FOUR dump trucks (~80 yards) of fill dirt to bring the land up enough to where it doesnt pool water and we can FINALLY get to installing our fence! I just might make a video of it so you can see the before and after haha. Great video! I'll be using Sika for the post fill as well. Glad to see it's holding up!
Trevor Lakin Well that seems like a huge project. Thank you for approving the flip-flops LOL. Again thanks for letting me know and I hope it all works out!!
Yeah man, it was quite a task haha. Thank you for the content!
Damn;😏 why couldn’t you be my neighbor- want to do just that : gate between the yards… but like you ; gotta do it by myself…😩🤙🏾👍🏾Thanks for the lesson, and reassurance 🤙🏾👍🏾
Thanks So Much,I have to try
Back in theday I did fences. When I had weird slopes, I made a template from about 12"x96" 3/4" plywood that matched the dog ears, set it to match the slope with a few screws or clamps, and cut the fence tops to be straight with a 1/4" trim router bit. Pretty fast and takes all the crap out of leveling the panels as they go in.
42Fab - Metalworking & Fabrication great idea man. Thank you
@@AGlimpseInside Would it have helped to vary the depths of the holes to adjust to the slope or would that mess things up elsewhere?
The is for the video, my next project and now I have more confidence!
Fence looks great bud! You motivate me to get off my arse and try doing this myself.
That’s great to hear pony man. There’s a saying called, begin and the rest is easy. Good motto I believe
Great solution for uneven surface for the gate, thank you.
Good job. Just a suggestion for you, I own a fence company in alabama. So, to get your top straight, once the posts and framing are up. Run what I call a string board. Set a string board up at the corners and pull a string line across the top and level the line. This will serve as your line for all of your fence boards. And you can make it completely level at the top of your fence. Remember, fences dont level to the ground because the ground isint level. Level it at the top,back fill with dirt or trim the bottom. That is just what we do. I applaud you for your method that worked for you though. Keep at it.
I appreciate the feedback brother, I really do. That fence has since been torn down and I’ve had professionals redo everything. Always good to hear professionals talk about what they do on this channel I really do appreciate it
Anytime. If you ever want a different gate tutorial I'd be glad to shie you how I build mine if you're interested. Always good to have multiple ways to accomplish the same goal depending on the circumstances you may be facing in a build.
Jonathan Plowman Most definitely. Are you on Instagram or any type of social media
great job just what i was looking for i wanted to make a gate for my trash can out of my
fence that was already up this will help me do this thanks so much ,some time people don't
know what to say great job thanks for sharing and your time ,.... love your vibe stay blessed
be happy
Thank you so much for the kind words Nadine. I very much appreciate you reaching out and I hope your cover for your trashcan works out great
Awesome video. And that locking mechanism is coooool
Thank you brother. Unfortunately that fence is no more. I took it down today and I’m having a new one built around the entire property. However the video will last forever LOL
Awesome, I learned a little bit and used some of it. Appreciate you man! 👍
Thanks for including things like foam from the criticism that you got in the comments. I didn't know about foam either man.
Super good job
i like the galvanized pipe lock mechanism ingenious not a fan of the foam for the posts but i could just be happier with old school nice job
I like the design of this gate and will probably use it for a backyard fence project. As a suggestion, for me, I would have much preferred seeing what you did in real time versus fast motion, as to be clear on each step that you take. Maybe something to consider for your future videos. Thanks for taking the time to share this project!
Good job. Awesome.
Wow your voice is identical to Pitbull... Great job.
Just wanna watch the happy people! Child is so cute !
You have a great attitude, and very helpful! Thank you!
I (really) like you! I've learned more from you today then from any other site (so far). I learned a lot today. Thank you!
Thank you so much
I wanted you to know I put together a picket fence with a gate. All because of your viedo. I finished it last Wednesday June 3, 2020. I looked at a lot of videos. Yours was the one that helped. Thank you again.
That looks great 👍
Very nice good job
I'm not sure if you got to read this message but thank you so much for your help I just built my own gate
Of course I’m going to read it. I’d like to see it Ron. Shoot me some pictures on Instagram if you don’t mind thru direct messaging
I like how it was all explained!!
Thank you for making my project easier

Just used your method to sure up my gate made from a Lowes 6' fence panel...Thx!!
Awesome man!
Gracias y aprendí mucho con tus videos,,,,thanks
Well you doing better than the previous homeowner of my home in the diy department, his diy repair of a 3/4” pvc pipe was amazing, yup, first he wrapped with plastic and then slathered silicone all around it and you know what, the mf didn’t leak for years, I was actually replacing another section of the pipe and his silicone patch gave so I replaced the entire run correctly. Please update in a few years because I gotta know if it’s still standing strong with that foam. Tip: use a string line bud
Like the post at the bottom ty for the idea clean work id probably cut the top of the fence with a string line to even one side to the other might be at an angle but Itd flow together better
Great video as usual! Always a joy to see your kids at the end of your videos.
Thank you so much!
No one should be calling you a moron, speaks volumes about them. If you live somewhere where frost or big soil movement then I shouldn’t think it was necessary.
Hi brother,I like the way you work. It's effective and efficient!!
Great build and great vid
Great job ..
Thank you amigo. New subscriber ❤
Dude great video! I’m gonna go build a gate!
Great job. I have never used concrete on my fence posts because inevitably the post will rot and you will have to dig up all that cement. A little dirt some water and a good tamp and the fence rails will hold it all in place. Never seen the foam before I'm interested to see how that holds up in the long run. As far as the fence not being flat on top. It's your personal house not a customer's if your good with it keep it. Good job!!
matt daniels Thank you Matt. I’m with you, Concrete and my pin is really only need it for fences 8 feet and Up. My fence replacement from a year ago had awful amount of concrete I had to deal with and it was a pain!! Thanks again man!!
You know another way to it is to put your post in the hole and fill around it with pea shingle.
Bro!! Your killing it
Anthony Krepps Well that’s the idea ha ha. Thanks a lot man
Like the foam idea!
I’m impressed - good job
You are not a moron; you are awesome man! FYI, I can't make a pot of spagetti!
Haha. Thank you!! I feel better now !
Looks good man. I've never thought of doing a threshold like that.
Joseph McPhail thank you so much. Yeah it’s cheap to do, and not 100% permanent. And it lasts quite a long time!
I plan on doing this soon. I need to do both sides of my house. Thanks for this.
The pipe idea is pretty neat rather than the flimsy kit they sell. Only thing I would do is add another pipe to the other panel, and then the larger pipe in the ground for when you open the gate and don’t want it to close if windy.
Great idea. Thank you for the suggestion
A Glimpse Inside not a problem. Time to make a follow up vid. Don’t forget to give props. Lol
Nice work
Great Video My Friend, Going to measure out my door add an extra 4x4 post for the gate
Thank you sir sounds like a plan
Great work man...👍
Thank you Demetrious
Awesome work
Thank you very much
Great video mate well done, you made that look so easy to do.
Barry (ENG)
Hey Buddy thank you so much! I’ve been meaning to tell you I think my wife and I are planning to go to maker Central next year.
Hi Chris, where is Maker Central next year?
Barry.
Awesome job bro. You did a great job on that gate. Very creative in your design. Much props.👍👍
Four different heights along such a short stretch. Wow.
I know it’s amazing isn’t it
If you never have to look at it I suppose.
TelsaBom Hey man like the sense of humor. Yeah I know the levels of the fence and what not didn’t come out the way I imagined. But the video was really about turning a stockade panel into two gates. But as always thanks for watching
Even the original fence was one level the whole length!
If you drop the gate an inch you could make it level with the right side and close the gap at the bottom which also makes the fence look like c4ap. Then drop the side palings an inch and you would have a pretty nice looking fence.
At least you have a sense of humour about it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. We appreciate the support my friend.
great job, its looks awesome. worked out perfect.
Hey, you did it in my shop....since my shop is outside too LOL. Great quick project!
That exactly what i am going to do, seen fence panels at lowes, going to make to 5 footers
That drop rop kills me
Thank you great job.
? HOW ABOUT JUST MAKING IT ONE GATE? OH I GET IT YOU JUST LIKE WATCHING YOURSELF...LOL. GOOD JOB WORKED REAL HARD I COULD SEE , VERY GOOD INDEED MY YOUNG FRIEND.
I have a lawn tractor that would only fit through an opening that I figured would be too big for one gate. Thanks for watching and do you just have caps lock on or are you yelling at me LOL?
@@AGlimpseInside YEP, I LIKE TO YELL SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR, OR MAYBE I'M USING ONE HAND N LIKE TO MULTI TASK. IN CONCLUSION WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE?. THE POINT WAS TO USE ENTIRE PANEL AS ONE GATE.? ASSUMING YOU BOUGHT THIS AT HOME DEPO. THEY SELL PREMADE AT @12 ' . REINFORCED AS YOU DID ANY WAY, WOULD LEAVE MORE TIME FOR THE BBQ N BEER . THAT BEAUTIFUL CHILD WOULD APPRECIATE A LITTLE MORE DAD TIME ALSO. GREAT WORK, JUST NOT TIME EFFECTIVE, UNLESS YOU WERE TRYING TO ESCAPE DOMESTICATION.
@@gm7519 ignant ass. Turn your caps off
Wow 👌
Your a genius 👏
Nice video thank help a lot.
Thank you and you’re welcome
I learned a lot actually and I appreciate you sharing your time. Thank you
Awesome!!thanks for the motivational videos.
You’re very welcome thank you so much for letting me know
hats off to you dude!!!! love it! i’m motivated
I like this! Kudos.
Thank you so much kudos to you
I like it. Looks good bro. Thank You for sharing.
Great video thanks....
Ibarra family you’re Welcome. And thank you
You could easily hide the slope change on the left by adjusting a few pickets going from the gate and down with small changes of 1/2 inch or so.
That’s a good idea. Unfortunately this comment came after the fence was already built LOL
@@AGlimpseInside Yeah I just finished working on mine and had to do a few tweaks myself :)
Could of used string to have created that gentle slop when adjusting the pickets
Nice! 👍🏼
Thank you
I used 3 in decking screws for mine and and worked just as good as the lags so you don’t really need lags it’s just a bit of overkill
I thought about that and I think it will work for the most part however in the long run I think lag screws might be a better option. Although that fence is since been torn down so I guess I’ll never know
The guy who called you a moron has no idea what they're taking about. A properly tamped fence post, far enough in the ground, needs no concrete or foam
Man!@! Your amazing. Good work
Thank you so much
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
Great video. We need to build a fence and yours is nice and easy. I was wondering about no concrete how that would hold up so I think we’ll look into the foam. I also like the idea of cutting the fence to make a gate !!!!
I can say a few days after the foam was poured it was as strong as concrete IMO. It’s definitely worth the little extra cash. Thanks for watching!

I use the chunky paver base mixed with the sand I took out of the ground. Works great but my area is all sand, no clay or rocks.
That’s good to know thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching I appreciate it
Awesome. Very beginner friendly. I have a lot of house projects that need to get done and your channel is very helpful. New subbie :)
You warm my heart. Thank you so much. And so great to have you along!!
You are hilarious, thank you so much for such a well made video!
Great Job. Don't like the extra that was screwed on bottom and I don't trust the foam boot leg cement.
❤ ur video
This is a pretty nifty project! That foam looks way easier than mixing and pouring concrete!
It sure is. It works well too!! Thank you
The foam will wiggle its garbage you need good hard concrete to make a good solid job.
You just gave me the confidence to do a job I was originally planning to hire someone for. Thank you! Great video!
Thank you as well I appreciate you letting me know
So, how did it go?
It must be nice to be able to dig a hole like that and not hit solid limestone about 10" down.
It is nice. Typically all of Florida is pretty much sand so you give-and-take with what you have
@@AGlimpseInside South Florida is where you typically find the limestone and coquina. I was in this Youth Conservation Corps until I got kicked out in the late 70's. It was a summer job. We were living on an Air Force Base in Homestead, FL. They literally cut drainage channels deep into the coquina. That was about 40 years ago for me though so I doubt I remember it very well at all. Anyway, we put some fence posts into the ground, chain link fences. I only remember going to lunch, playing at a rec room, going by the Everglades, the deep coquina trenches for drainage putting up some chain link fencing. There was this fat kid who was running his mouth and he called me gay. I got mad and kicked in him the mouth while he was sitting in a chair. Turns out I broke his jaw. Lucky for me I was still a minor. I don't know how I didn't get into a lot of trouble. I guess now if you call someone gay it's supposed to be a compliment or something. Anyway, my dumb ass had to go back to Jacksonville, FL. That was supposed to be a summer job. I lasted about two weeks. I think it was a sign of things to come. I broke that kid's jaw because we had been issued steel toed boots. I failed to mention that. And that fat kid was super fat and way bigger than I was. I was just a chubby kid. He was a total fat ass just running his mouth at me. I got upset and boom, everybody wanted to kill me. They had to keep me in my room for my own safety, from some of the kids anyway. So much for me growing up and that being a character building summer for me.
Everytime I watch one of these fence videos I say that lol. Must be nice to dig so easily lol
Good job on the video.
thanks mate!
You’re welcome
How did those posts hold up??Looked like alot of movement from them while you were putting the lag bolts in.
The posts hold up great however that fence is no longer there as I put a whole new system in place in the driveway where that since used to be for my new shop
Awesome build Chris! I'll have to look into that foam if I ever need to set some posts. Good to see you wearing shoes! But then you reverted back to sandals later on in the video.... old habits are hard to beat ;)
OSO DIY Well since you were the first to notice. I will tell you. I happen to step on a nail into my foot about an inch through the shoe. I went inside cleaned up bandaged it up and then finished the project with my flip-flops because it was tough to get my hurt foot into another shoe. Lol.
Ouch! Maybe you were jinxed with the shoes and need to go back to flip-flops? Wait, noo don't do that either. Be safe man!
Perfect!!!! 👌 😁😁😁
Ha, x Mark's the spot
Oh yeah
DAMN YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE AMAZON LINK TO THE HINGES!
nice job. the hinges will fail first. not enough flange on the stationary side. puts the fasteners to close to the edge of the post. threshold was cool and that was the correct way to install a rack brace.
bro i got a question these panels come in 8 ft. but how to i modify it because i need 10 feet. im two ft short
I have to wonder if a savvy criminal would simply take the screws off those hinges & bypass your nifty locking mechanism. I know this because I have had my house broken into many times of the years & it was the doors & gates that swing outward that were the areas that thieves always seemed to go for!
I meant to say MANY TIMES OVER the years instead of many times of the years.
@@sherrydee7880 get yourself a weapon in the house, and once the criminals hear you have one from those who tried to break in before. I guarantee you won't have that problem again.
Hey man idk if it is possible but could you help me getting started with making a gate in my fence?
