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.
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.
@@Guerrero1187 Are you saying you go 4 foot deep with the posts because the ground freezes? I’m trying to understand if it’s better to go deeper when it freezes?

Nice video but not a very detailed video. After doing a chain link fence and re-watching this video let’s me see how many steps are left out of not really explained
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.

😂 Well how complicated could some bullshit like this be, for fucks sake?
@3:30 pull the fence until its TAUGHT! You teach that fence a lesson.

I love this old house. Such a great source of knowledge.
Thanks I needed a refresher.
It’s crazy how much better the Lowe’s video is compared to this one
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.
In this case it was the right thing to do.
What's the max distance between terminal posts?
Thank you, Now I have a fence that can block off Karen's croutch goblins from my dogs
Amazing
WOW! Thank you!!
Are you delivering this fence worldwide?
Thank you.
24” deep even in states where it freezes or go down 43”???
in that case, every 5 years you'll have to cut random lengths off the post tops to compensate for rising posts.
@@totallycv2388 lol I thought so. 4' on everything here in Michigan
Yeah it was a kind of weak demonstration.
@@Guerrero1187 Are you saying you go 4 foot deep with the posts because the ground freezes? I’m trying to understand if it’s better to go deeper when it freezes?
@@TheGrobe 48” deep to be below the frost line in Michigan
She was in This Old House
I like how they DONT even show you or tell you what apparatus they used in the video to pull the fence "TAUT".
You use a fence stretcher and a come along
Someone sticks their penis through the mesh. Someone on the other side grab it and pulls the fence taut. Works best with a raging hard-on.

At 1:12 that man is atleast 7ft. Must be a giant to be slain. At 1:20 he Grew another foot!
How much concrete per terminal post ? Line post?
A bag and a half maybe is what it took us
About at least a bag if not another additional half bag more.

What would the cost be to install one
Just paid 300 + rn and still missing items
Depends on the length really
@@irisgarcia8315 for what? Just a gate? 100 feet? A mile? $300 means nothing without context.
Just had Lowes come do an estimate for 274 feet, 1 4ft gate and 1 double gate. $6998

Cost for .80 acre land?
How high do you want the fence?
5 feet
@@wilsonpadilla3577 how many gates were you thinking?
2 gates
@@wilsonpadilla3577 probably looking around 2.5-5k depending on your location. I know on the west coast fencers charge a bit for chain link.

"Run the top rails through the holes" 😉 Hey tatted daddie, I see what you did there!
"Until it's toat " you mean tight right?
Taut is past tense for tight.
Just thought I would let you learn something today.
@@joetroutt7425WTF says TAUT? NO ONE. Ive never used or heard anyone use it in my life and Im OLD.
@@appyvan5222 literally everyone in the trades.
I’m a builder & we use ‘taut’ term a lot.
Lowe's does the video way better than this And it's funny how they both use women though
Funny you show a black fence when home depo doesnt even sell a black one smh
I bought a black fence from Home Depot
Yes, they do.
Yes they do
Online buddy
I’m building one with materials I bought from Home Depot
Hell no.
