    The video states to use a portable bandsaw to cut the tops of the line posts. That’s not a real common tool in the arsenal of many DIY homeowners. I think an angle grinder with a metal cut-off wheel or a sawzall with a bimetal blade could work as well. Kudos for keeping the video straight forward and simple.

      I've never heard of anyone cutting off the tops. I am doing one without concrete. Its a 5' fence with 8' posts. Driving the posts in 3' with a power post pounder is easier than digging holes, and pouring concrete.

    • @gr6e
      @gr6e 2 роки тому +3

      I just dig the hole to the right depth. If it's an inch or two higher than it should be, I pound it down to the correct height before the concrete cures

    You don't necessarily need a bottom rail, can just use wire along the bottom, pulled tight and hog ringed to the chainlink fabric. I did a combo of digging& pounding the posts in place, and used some Sika foam at the gates, to avoid the hassle of concrete. Also I bought some nice massdam stretcher clamps from amazing-on (hint) to pull the fabric tight to the terminal posts, no need for a jack and rake or whatever they used.

    I would have hinged the gate on the post that had the fabric on it. When you hang a gate on a single post, it tends to sag.

      I last did chain link when I was like 12 years old and I think we did one 60 pound bag for line posts and two 60 lb bags for terminal posts. I was watching this video hoping they'd say for sure but nobody seems to give exact numbers. I guess just use whatever you think you'll need?

      See this is why there is a pay gap. You sit there in an office running your mouth on how to do the work you have never even seen done. All while the guy is doing all the labor in the heat of the sun. Why don't you go check out lowes video on this? That woman actually works on the project she's explaining and does a damn fine job doing so. With much more details and information by example.

      Like most things, you pay more for the labor. If you choose to diy, of course it's going to be thousands less, but YOU have to do it. Assemble a parts list, there's tons of fencing calculators out there, add in a minimum of $15 an hour times at least 2 times however many feet you think you could resonably install per hour then you are getting close to what it would be to install. Cheaper if you pick up a laborer or 2 outside Home Depot when you pick up your fence supplies give them both $100 and a 12 pack and bam fence done!

      Do you mean native American as in American Indian or native American like natively lives in America? Also, how is 'taught' American? It's just a word meaning something that has been pulled tight. Once it's pulled tight, it's taught. As far as I know it's used in any country that uses English. Taught shouldn't be culturally significant to any particular country.
