Nice job, looks really professional. I don't know how it is in NZ, but here in the US lumber prices are ridiculous. That wood pile is a bundle of gold, don't complain😀.
Nice job folks! Much effort on your parts, but it has paid off with a beautiful and functional fence that you will enjoy for many years to come! I'm impressed by the power of the Dewalt drill! Really handles the larger tools easily 😀
Me encanta el vídeo, os ha quedado una valla súper chula, y la finca es preciosa tan verde y llena de vida. No entiendo vuestro idioma pero con las imagines me basta. Enhorabuena. Un Saludo desde España.
Nice job 👍👍, one thing I was told by the local goldpine rep is to not cut the top of posts or bottoms as the treatment is only around the outta edge and can cause them to rot out... Maybe a varnish or stain to seal?
Cheers :) Yeah we come along a few weeks later and apply some wood preservative to the tops. That's also why we cut the tops at an angle, to shed water.
If you turn the nail upside down place the head on a solid surface and blunt the point with your hammer it won't then split the wood reason is it’s a crushing force not a separating force.
Your fencing is flat out beautiful. You might want to do them as works of art, where they cross each other and the like. Hopefully you can take satisfaction in them. Since treated wood isn't forever, I've heard the idea of putting 6" or so of gravel in the bottom of the hole followed by a piece of soil cloth then drop the post in place. All that just to help with drainage. I've seen similar fences that have either metal or wood caps on the posts. This makes sense since treated wood can still split and have other problems, especially at the end grain Having tried to work with a married partner, I appreciate how well the two of you work together. Sometime you can make a video with your out takes!
Beautiful fence and scenery No doubt about NZ...magnificent country. Thinking you are so clever doing this curved fence so well . Not really sure what you meant by angling of the posts at 35.10 ?
Beautiful fence, great job, did you folks put ( what we call a gate rest) at the bottom of the latch post, to hold up the weight of the gate in the closed position, wood gates will sag over time...
Thanks! Haven't heard of a gate rest here. Sounds like a good idea though. This gate is resting on the post, but we tend to just tighten the gudgeons after a gate has settled.
Great job! Was the reason you had each rail end on a different post to prevent having 4 weak rail-to-rail joints on each post? By staggering them it seems like you’d only have 1 weak joint per post.
I’ve watched this video twice now! It’s great for learning how to do curved fencing. But my question is what size lumber are you using? The half posts and boards are the 2x6 rough cut lumber? And the posts did you cut them in half?
When you want to bend the rails more than 15cm.. you soak the timber in water and When the timber is completely soaked it will bend further without it breaking or cracking
There is nothing in the ground to strengthen the ground and both are vertical. No stones, cement. No antiseptic on wood. How long will it stay? Is there rotting in winter in autumn?
Yep they're treated! We have different treatment system here - the posts are H4 treated since they'll be in the ground, the rails H3.2 treated as they're outside but not ground-contact :)
NEVER SEEN SUCH A NICE HOLE FROM SHOVELS, YALL DONT HAVE POSTHOLE DIGGERS THERE I TAKE IT, ARE \YOU GONNA CUT THE TOPS WITH AN ANGLE AND EVEN A LIL TAR TO COVER THE CUT, THOSE POSTS WILL LAST QUITE A WHILE, SHES LOOKIN GOOD
Thanks! The specialised spade and shovel make it easy! Often people will get posts rammed in, which we did for another long fence we built but requires a contractor to come out so we didn't for this one. Can also get post-hole borers either for the tractor or hand-held. We do have a set of handheld post hold diggers but they're not very common here and we find the spade and shovel easier and faster! The tops we cut at an angle and painted with Metalex, a wood preserver :)

Best looking fence on UA-cam
I would have never thought to consider bending and curving the fence but it looks so incredible. Great job
Great job. Who knew curved fences could be such fun. Thanks.
Beautiful fence true workmanship.. something to be proud
There are so many unintentional innuendos, it's brilliant.
Well done you two it look amazing. I love the way you both work together. Awesome.
Great fence. Great couple. Excellent team work!
Such a labour of love, both the fence and the video. Thank you 🙏
What a great team you two are. Just found you today. Subscribed and am really enjoying your videos. Your land is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful fence. Great video, great job. Looks awesome 👌

Great job and video guys. Really looks great. You should be proud of yourselves.
Beautiful video! Great teamwork…❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely stunning!
Gorgeous farm, beautiful couple and great video editing. Greetings from Ireland.
Well done!!! Nature abhors a straight line.
Seriously BEAUTIFUL...a work of art and patience.
LOVE NZ wood....best wood ever.
Are your rails 1 x 6...or 2 x 6 ?
Nice job 👍👍, one thing I was told by the local goldpine rep is to not cut the top of posts or bottoms as the treatment is only around the outta edge and can cause them to rot out... Maybe a varnish or stain to seal?

All you have to do is buy some copper naphthenate and retreat them . I do that anyway and then put tar on them too.
Great job guys i love what you both do and i wish the best for you. Mohammed from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
That is a beautiful fence, good job lady and gent. 👍
I love the seat. Well done.
Just found your channel today. Very well done videos and teamwork! Absolutely gorgeous fence! I just subscribed. 🙂

Most találtam rá erre a videókra nagyon jók .
Awesome the fence looks great.
nice job guys, that fence and gate look superb.

In rural Maine, they char the bottoms of fence posts to ~1' above ground level. But, it's to keep animals controlled. Yours are beautiful.
Great vid. Some really good techniques used and a really good result. FYI The wetter the rails the easier it is to manipulate 😉.
Thanks :) Yeah we've found that too, but the wetter they are the more they shrink, and the gaps between where the ends butt up get wider apart.
Beautiful place with beautiful people.u lived in a dream place
Beautiful fencing. Good job.
Beautiful fence and scenery
No doubt about NZ...magnificent country.

Thats a nice fence well done.
You are very luck to have each other work on your farm you look amazing all the best wish you good health and all the best in your life
I’ve watched this video twice now! It’s great for learning how to do curved fencing. But my question is what size lumber are you using? The half posts and boards are the 2x6 rough cut lumber? And the posts did you cut them in half?
Awesome thanks for sharing
I will have to give yall an A-PLUS on fence building seems like a lot of extra expense. But damm sure looks good if you got the money honey,
When you want to bend the rails more than 15cm.. you soak the timber in water and When the timber is completely soaked it will bend further without it breaking or cracking
Good morning from Grand Forks
Beautiful land.
There is nothing in the ground to strengthen the ground and both are vertical. No stones, cement. No antiseptic on wood. How long will it stay? Is there rotting in winter in autumn?
useful and nice Congratulations !
Beautiful countryside! How are the fence posts holding up? I'm getting ready to put up a 4 board fence
What kind of boards do I need to buy? I live in Washington and rains all the time.
How deep are the post? Is there a reason you didn’t use concrete? How tall are the posts from bottom to top? Great video!
They said 60 centimetres which converts to just under 2 feet.
Awesome!
How many posts holes did you dig by hand?
Do you use preservatives on wood?
Are they pressure treated with preservatives to prevent decay
Yep they're treated! We have different treatment system here - the posts are H4 treated since they'll be in the ground, the rails H3.2 treated as they're outside but not ground-contact :)
You need a set of American post hole diggers
An auger is the word. Those things will change your life, I’ll never dig a post hole manually again.
🙏Love from india. 👍
