Oh man, I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I've got the same style and color of house along with hilly, rocky soil and no privacy. I was on the fence (😜) about whether or not this kind of privacy fence would look right with my house and yard. This video totally eases my worries.
This is great!! I live in the Caribbean and my roof is galvanized zinc! Love the sound when it rains : ) Now, I want to make a gate back by my horse ~ yes, I am going to do it myself : )
Absolutely a beautiful job, I had the idea in my mind, and now that I have seen your idea and out come, this is what I will do this summer I am not worried about the cost so much nor the wind effects that may be an issue, what ever happens, happens. I have seen brick walls come down and vinyl fences stay put, perhaps if people are going worry about wind they should not put up a fence. Thank you for the video
That looks pretty good man! Nice work! Would've been nice to see some of the how to steps instead of just the after results. How is the fence holding up against wind gusts and such?
I agree. It’s always so hard for me to slow down and video while I’m doing projects. I agree with you though. Holding up great against the wind and we get some good gusts coming across the pond.
It looks the exact same as the day it was installed. I actually thought it would rust and give it a even more character but it hasn’t changed a bit. Also has not been affected by the winter winds.
Wood is so expensive now March 2021 compared to July 2020. I have projects on hold due to cost. What was your fence length and cost? Trying to look at your metal /wood fence cost per all wood or other material.
You may have yourself a microclimate there next to the metal fence where you could grow things that love heat/warmer weather. I'm thinking I'd like to do this and incorporate a rock or stone base, even ....thermal mass. 🤔
I have a question about this. I've been wanting to the same to my entire backyard but my question is if in the summer time, will the backyard become more hot by the panels beaming off the sun?
It will rust over time since I took the protective layer off but that's what I'm hoping for. If you don;t want it to rust you'll need to leave the shine on.
Would love to do this in the UK but we get a good bit of wind and weather, do the sheets not rattle a lot? Id have to make sure they never or the neighbours wouldn't like it.
I was going to do this by my pool but I was concerned about the glare, the fence will be 6 feet from pool. Have your experienced any issues with glare?
I didn’t want a glare either and that’s why I treated the metal with toilet bowl cleaner to let the acid eat away the shine. Made a video on that process as well.
You could go to a metal place on Engineer road right next to Boom town and across from pull a part their metal is the cheapest then HD and Lowe's also you can get whatever color you want .
Mine is about 64ft long but I don’t remember the cost. I do know it was cheaper then the pvc options but more importantly it was the look we wanted. Nothing worse then spending good money on a home project that in the end isn’t what you really wanted. Been there.
I am looking into building the same fence and I like your design do much I am going to use it. I was a little concerned about the 12 foot sections and curious about how are they holding up? I was considering 6 foot sections but if I could save the money I would love to do 12
I originally was going to do 6ft as well but not wanting to dig the holes in my rocky soil I went to 12 which I liked visually much better. It’s holding up great against wind, etc. no issues
So how high was your fence. looking the comments it seems 12f but doesnt look that high. maybe 6 foot high panels? 8 foot high posts (we'll 8 foot above ground 3-4f under?
sorry i re watched it i see you cut the 12' sheets in half so basically 6' high sheets. To do you slant you said 71" and 71", i assume you meant you did 71" and 73" because you said you had a 2inch slant.
This looks absolutely beautiful. It will serve as my inspiration for my own fence. How much did it cost you to build this whole fence? Also, where did you purchase the materials?
You’ll love it and it’s not very difficult. All materials were bought at HomeDepot but I didn’t track the cost. If you figure out the size and make a materials list you can make a quick estimate looking online. I’m sure it’ll cost more now then it did when I did it due to current materials cost.
Since I built this 3 years ago the current cost would be dramatically different. Easy to get a rough estimate by checking HomeDepot online for materials costs. Good luck!
Thanks! Great question and sadly I’m not sure! You could easily look up the materials on HomeDepot’s website though to figure out the prices. Sorry I could t help more

The top and bottoms but up against each other and are screwed to the fronts of the posts using exterior screws. The center rails behind the metal are screwed to the sides of the posts
Great insight! That is the reason why I have three running across on the sides and the top one lays flat and is screwed to the one under it which makes them strong and sag proof.
I know early on, because I have watched this video a million time to recreate it, but you said you wanted to go vertically with the corrugated metal but went horizontally it that because you couldn’t get 12 ft sections of the corrugated metal, I only ask because my sections it actually 20 ft even meaning I’m trying to do 10 ft vertical sections I also understand I’m also going to have to add 2 2x4 sections in the middle of the posts as opposed to yours which only has one
Great question. So the original thought was to go horizontal and match the lines of the siding on the house. We opted to go vertical so it would match to mix it up. The metal I had available was 12ft lengths so I could have gone either way with my framing. We still love it everytime we pull in the driveway. Good luck!
Great question. Sad to say I have no idea! It was the stock sheets that they sell at both Home Depot and Lowes. Price was cheaper at Lowes but HomeD has less white galvanized residue on them which is what I wanted.
The title is: "How to build a fence..." Should have been titled: How to talk about building a fence. 😄 I saw no actual building, so, I clicked out close to the end. Building requires actual tool and hands on action! Looks good, though!👍
I’d agree with you 100%. I’m not a pro and not good at remembering to video while I’m working. These are more to show a recap of what you can do and a walk thru of how. I apologize for my shortcoming.
Great question. I’m not sure what the cost was but it should be easy enough to check material prices online. There was 7 posts, 30-2x6x12’, 5-2x4x12’ and 15-2’x12’ sheets of metal
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
Waoowh wonderful super amazing because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you about that your vlog hoping you visit my house and teach me how
in 2021 with the cost of lumber, this idea seems great: also should last longer than wood boards!
Oh man, I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I've got the same style and color of house along with hilly, rocky soil and no privacy. I was on the fence (😜) about whether or not this kind of privacy fence would look right with my house and yard. This video totally eases my worries.
The soil maybe be a nightmare but it is such a beautiful part of the country thanks for posting this video!
This is great!! I live in the Caribbean and my roof is galvanized zinc! Love the sound when it rains : ) Now, I want to make a gate back by my horse ~ yes, I am going to do it myself : )
2023 glad I watch the video Got some good ideas.

Love it! Thinking about doing this at my house as well, however I really want to do my entire backyard.
Perfect, this was exactly what I was looking for thank you, it looks great
Great video, this is the video I was looking for. Thanks sir. I will tackle my fence now.
what a great idea!! Thank you for sharing, I love the look of this!!! ~Amy (Lewes, De)
That looks pretty good man! Nice work! Would've been nice to see some of the how to steps instead of just the after results. How is the fence holding up against wind gusts and such?
I agree. It’s always so hard for me to slow down and video while I’m doing projects. I agree with you though. Holding up great against the wind and we get some good gusts coming across the pond.
Thanks for the video. Really helpful and easy to follow.
Looks great and i have a friend that built this same fence near her pool area
Great work. That aside, I really like the pond. I can only imagine how much you enjoy the view and the breeze
Thanks for the motion sickness and headache!
Hi mate awesome build looks 🔥 just curious whats your spacing between each post looking at doing something similar to your setup
Looks Great! I am curious how it's held up three years later and how it is with the wind in the Fall/ Winter.
It looks the exact same as the day it was installed. I actually thought it would rust and give it a even more character but it hasn’t changed a bit. Also has not been affected by the winter winds.
Awesome metal fence
🤘🏽
Now in 2024 this material has sky rocketed in price.
Wood is so expensive now March 2021 compared to July 2020. I have projects on hold due to cost.
What was your fence length and cost? Trying to look at your metal /wood fence cost per all wood or other material.
Mine is about 64ft total but I do not remember what the cost was at the time
Nice job not shabby at all I’m making one
Excellent job! I will be coping your work.
I believe you said you was going to run them lines the other way
You may have yourself a microclimate there next to the metal fence where you could grow things that love heat/warmer weather.
I'm thinking I'd like to do this and incorporate a rock or stone base, even ....thermal mass. 🤔
well it looks great. assuming its cheaper than even coco lumber.
Looks good nice work
Is this standard corrugated metal from home depot ?
yes it is
I have a question about this. I've been wanting to the same to my entire backyard but my question is if in the summer time, will the backyard become more hot by the panels beaming off the sun?
Great question! From my experience I can say that by taking the shine off them there is zero reflected sun so no additional heat.
@@freetotryit thank you so much. Now that I have the answer, I'll do this project within a month or so. Thanks !
Does this rust? And can this be painted?
It will rust over time since I took the protective layer off but that's what I'm hoping for. If you don;t want it to rust you'll need to leave the shine on.
How do you think it helps with reducing noise? Was looking as a noise barrier sound as an alternative to a block wall.
Great question. Unfortunately we live out in the country so I don’t have a real world experience on noise abatement. Sorry
Hows it holding up. Rusty yet. Any dents yet
No dents and one small rust spot so far in a valley where the acid I put to remove the shine sat longer
Great Video, I wonder how much does it cost to do a Matel that rusts for every panel?
Looks good! Great work!!
Would love to do this in the UK but we get a good bit of wind and weather, do the sheets not rattle a lot? Id have to make sure they never or the neighbours wouldn't like it.
I understand completely and that would drive me crazy as well! They actually do not rattle at all since they are attached tightly to the wood frame.
This looks great. How's it holding up?
Holding up great! We still love it!
How big are the metal sheets 2 x 15 feet?
I used 12ft length and cut them in half. 2ft wide
I was going to do this by my pool but I was concerned about the glare, the fence will be 6 feet from pool.
Have your experienced any issues with glare?
I didn’t want a glare either and that’s why I treated the metal with toilet bowl cleaner to let the acid eat away the shine. Made a video on that process as well.
1981menso you can “rust the metal” and you won’t get a glare plus it looks nice
Where did you buy the metal panels at and what size did you use. Thank you
They have them at both HD and Lowe’s. 12ft lengths. 24” wide
You could go to a metal place on Engineer road right next to Boom town and across from pull a part their metal is the cheapest then HD and Lowe's also you can get whatever color you want .
What does it look like today?
Exactly how it looked when installed!
great to look at. lovely job
Great work! I’m curious about the fare opening. Do you have any pictures or video of that section?
I actually have another video about the gate itself. Look in my video list and you see it.
How many feet long for fence and cost compared to other material fences? I got 1.2 acre. I like the privacy!
Mine is about 64ft long but I don’t remember the cost. I do know it was cheaper then the pvc options but more importantly it was the look we wanted. Nothing worse then spending good money on a home project that in the end isn’t what you really wanted. Been there.

@@freetotryit How long do you think it will last?
Did you put cement into the ground when you set the posts??
I did. I poured sakrete mix in the holes and then added water.
Did you cut the metal sheets in half yourself? and if so how was this done? and did you need to file the edges?
I did using a metal blade in a circular saw. Be sure to wear long sleeves, gloves and safety glasses. No need to file the edges afterwards.
Around how much was all materials together?
I honestly don’t know as I didn’t keep track. Sorry
Curious as to the cost.
Since I built this 3 years ago the current cost would be dramatically different. Easy to get a rough estimate by checking HomeDepot online for materials costs. Good luck!
How does the fence do in high winds?
Great question. We have had no issues with it holding up against the high winds we get here. Bases have not loosened over the years at all.
@@freetotryit Thank you! Great vid!

What is the guage of the metal?
Great question. Not sure but it’s off the shelf from Home Depot.
how are eh wood cross beams attached to the posts? couldnt see how you did it?
The top and bottoms but up against each other and are screwed to the fronts of the posts using exterior screws. The center rails behind the metal are screwed to the sides of the posts
Why didn’t you use pressure treated wood?
It is pressure treated
@@freetotryit all the pressure treated wood I can find my area is brown and it’s got a bunch of little holes in it.
the fence looks great but the distance between the post appear to be 8 or 10 feet. This may sag!!!
Great insight! That is the reason why I have three running across on the sides and the top one lays flat and is screwed to the one under it which makes them strong and sag proof.
Hi, what gauge is your metal?
Great question but I actually don’t know the answer. I bought it off the shelf at HomeDepot and they only had one option that I believe is standard
Think the wood will last long with the elements..

What was the cost of this project?
Great question. I’m not sure what the cost was but it should be easy enough to check material prices online. There was 7 posts, 30-2x6x12’, 5-2x4x12’ and 15-2’x12’ sheets of metal
What type of wood did you use?
Pressure treated pine
@@freetotryit Did you stain or seal the wood? Or does the pressure treated pine hold up on its own?
Thanks
Pregunta 🤔 pero al ser madera, no se pudre rápido, con el clima y las lluvias???
Real nice!
Nice
Contact me for Corten panels that look great as fencing panels. It will arrive with no shine and rusts naturally.
You missed the “How to” part there bud.
Yep..I’ve never been good at setting up cameras before I do work. Never good at changing into work clothes either! Haha

Waoowh wonderful super amazing because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you about that your vlog hoping you visit my house and teach me how
did you leave the back of the fence unfinished like that? or did you trim it out?
Actually left it unfinished and it looks good. Not as finished as the front of course but nonetheless my wife was happy
