You will need deer netting for Muntjac as they will easily get through your fence and larger breeds have been regularly seen vaulting a ten feet hedge above ground we placed last year along our drive.
Really great job! I am just starting discussions with owner of neighbouring plot about the acquisition of some land, and was looking at simple post and rail fence to keep things light and open. Looks a great project.
Stu I love your optimism that just a post and rail fence will keep the deer out. Seeing the paddock once it's all clear and done will be great, seeing it now will just make you want to go out and work on it all the time I recon
So the proper top rail height is at a comfortable leaning height. Which means my second rail needs to be a good height for me to sit on the top rail and prop my feet at the most stable angle for my knee bend. I almost never have the luxury of building fences on flat level ground so that laser level may not do me much good on my hilly land. Your fence looks good and you put some good thought into it. Good work.
Seriously jealous Stuart. I'm thinking of what I'd do with the property if I owned it. Like others who love this channel I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do over time. Keep em coming mate.
We love watching your channel. Just a thought about the deer getting into your garden. We had to put deer netting on our fence which is similar to your new fence as they just stepped through it and ate all the buds on our roses and anything else they fancied.Hoping the netting will stop that happening again. Anne and Dave
Always look forward to the new videos. and the new land videos have to say. i pinch a lot of your ideas. they helped me along a lot of my jobs. thanks 👍
I've only recently found your channel after a reference to it elsewhere. Enjoying catching up on your previous videos. Liked your little reference to the Restoration Couple in this one, they're another of my favourite channels.
Well, thats really straight. All the comments of lasers aside, i have one to, thats really level en that you can see. The jig is a great tip, i will use it on my fence. Thnx!!
Great channel straight to the point and no waffle ... Wish I had that much land at the back . Would be tempted to build a Nuclear fallout shelter , Especially in todays climate ......
@@ProperDIY I remember him building a bunker in his back garden a few years ago Stuart, You would never know it was there when it was finished. I didn't know he had built a tunnel though must give it a watch ..... After watching your video on building Wooden planters I ended up making 2 square planters and an Octogon, Had plenty of compliments from the neighbors ......
By chance, recently, I had some black Cuprinol wood preserver which I used for horizontal and diagonal members of a fence-screen with the verticals left brown. It looks so good, I'll do it in future for all our fencing
Very nice fence Stuart, but my lovey, i have personally seen a Kudu jump over a 6mtr high wire fence from a standing position…..we used to live on a farm quite some years ago, and the kudu used to jump into the veg garden and eat the cabbages…..so as your previous commenter says, you will need to get netting.
You'll also need a piece of straw to chew on while contemplating don't forget! A lovely looking and sturdy fence and the jig was something that I wouldn't have thought of so thanks for that 🙂
The first to really spot the reason to take down the old fence - well done! It certainly does open it up and actually makes us feel much more in the country. Thanks Paul
Deer in the paddock where you’re putting your vegetables. That’s sounds like another fencing job in late summer! On our allotments the deer in winter strip all the overwintering Brassica’s. In summer they trample down the autumn fruiting raspberries on the way to the lettuce. Mind you venison freezes very easily.
Would be interesting to see a demonstration of using a water level - see the accuracy and how long it takes - and if a laser is worth the money for home use.
Measure one post mark a line wack a nail in string line Measure last post nail on line all the other post now line up along the string also shows if the fence is straight or if you need to move any. Fencing and landscape installation done for years. Very cheap very quick very easy...
As always another great video. Those are some serious screws to hold the rails on! Love watching your process, being in the US I can't always follow the details. For example, would love to get one of those laser levels. I have tried and they aren't available over here. Keep up the good work and enjoy a cup of coffee leaning on your fence watching your garden grow. You might need to buy a small tractor.
Get nice job that. The little touches that make it nice. Try Dulux Opaque water based. Outstanding timber paint, 10yr protection, trust me you’ll never use anything else again. 👍🏻✌🏻
Like the fence, however if you're hoping to keep deer out you'll be disappointed. We have had a few deer either jump or step through a similar fence, decimating bushes and plants. Good luck. Love the channel
Nice job, but if you do get deer in the new land you've bought, I doubt a 3ft post and rail fence would stop them jumping onto your newly leveled lawn.
Re Cool Hand Luke, from memory they are digging in a chain gang aren’t they? Always remember the lines at or near the end:” Now what we have here is a breakdown in communication” or something along those lines. Nice sunglasses too.
Hi Stuart a proper job that, I might have missed it but why didn't you leave the middle and bottom rails on, cut the top off your post and just add a middle rail or as Cool Hand Luke would say , what we have here is a failure to communicate, keep up the good work , G.
Sunflowers in amongst the laurels about 7 minutes in? And hope you said Hi to those posts who you fell out with last year ;-) Nice video as usual Stuart, May in the UK seems to have all sunshine and showers
Another nice video! Looking at your nice and clean roof, I am wondering if you are considering generating your electricity (with PV panels) given the rising and never-ending prices of electricity.
Country living. Next thing you know you'll be wearing a straw hat & chewing long lengths of grass😂. Definitely save all that "do me good" (wood). I have a stock pile of leftover off cuts which always comes in handy for something. Just wish I had your square footage to play with in my garden. Unusual for a new build to have so much land or the option to buy a paddock to go with it. Envious from Bucks. Keep em coming Stuart. Always good to get some inspiration watching others creating something useful.
What a great job Stuart looks so much better mate …. Does you Mrs ever comment on any of your work,saying I like that what a great job ya done ? Mine does but only if it’s work for her lol 😊
I'd never be a bad influence on you Stuart 🤥, but I think you would like a beam saw to add to your arsenal.. Oh & possibly the new dcf850 impactor 😍 sorry 🤭🤭🤭
Decent video Stuart: loved the idea of using the "hanging jig". One for me to bank for next time I am in that situation. Do you have a direct-contact mechanism (a website or an email address)?
If you click on his name above "Proper DIY" and then the About tab, there's a link to click to get his email address. (Although why he has a link below it to "Proper Dubai" is a mystery to me).
I always thought your house was lovely but the garden looked a bit closed in even though it was massive. This makes it look infinite on to your new paddock. I built my first 6 foot fence during lockdown and umm yeh its not straight not perfect but it does have more screws in it than my house 😆. I cannot bring myself to do the task of taking it down to do again.

Love your videos. As a 42 years young women u have helped me to be able to put my own fence posts in 💪
Nice jig and great job Stuart. Total respect for taking everything apart for re-use instead of total demo. 👏🏼🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
When it comes to quality craftsmanship, Brits are hard to beat. Well done Sir!
Many thanks!
You will need deer netting for Muntjac as they will easily get through your fence and larger breeds have been regularly seen vaulting a ten feet hedge above ground we placed last year along our drive.
I should say the hedge is an established hedge on a four nearly five feet hedge bank that we tidied up and laid. We didn't plant a ten foot hedge.
I love the reference to Tim! Great work and looking forward to seeing the space transform as you clear it. Cheers.
Really great job! I am just starting discussions with owner of neighbouring plot about the acquisition of some land, and was looking at simple post and rail fence to keep things light and open. Looks a great project.

Your fence looks good and you put some good thought into it. Good work.
absolutely spot on with pining the boards, it's the same as fitting weather board to a house or shed, you should never go through the board underneath
Seriously jealous Stuart. I'm thinking of what I'd do with the property if I owned it. Like others who love this channel I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do over time. Keep em coming mate.
Love the distance jig, I'll be using that trick.

Yes I'm sure I will have to put up hurricane fencing on the fence

You and me both!
I liked the restoration couple reference.

Very neat simple methods for accuracy,loved the top of post detail….a great post l would say. Greetings from Gloucester
Love these videos. Keep up the great work. Mrs Proper DIY must be glad you're always out the house!
Yes exactly
Good tip re nailing feather edge boards - thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing workmanship, property and land now Stuart.
Thank you Patrick

A lovely idea well executed.
Can’t believe there’s people out there that take the time to moan about you using a laser level
Because its pointless for what he was doing all he need was a level and line
Good job, looks much better .
Thanks 👍
This is exactly what I needed to see for the chicken fence I'm building. What clamps are these please?
100% quality job, 0% chance of keeping deer out if they wanted to come in.

I was going to say - they haven't seen my gun yet!
I love that jig!

Good job with the rail . I also like that you took care of reusing the material. My question is the same as Anthony B. what is the grander plan?

thank you Paul. Buying a small tractor is something that has crossed my mind.
Beautiful job.
Great video as always Stuart, great tip on nailing the feather board, to keep the deer out you could buy a deer hound ! Lol 🐕

Just wondering can I use a track saw to cut off 3 inch fence post tops in situe .
That hanging jig! Give me the fizz
You could run the split fence boards through your new table saw - they would be a bit narrower but resuseable.
AAHHHH!!! ... A Deer-Proof Fence ?? ...... Have You SEEN Deer jumping a Six-Foot Fence ? .... a JOY to behold ;-)
I had look forward to a new video today 😊 did see you in rag n bones video 📷
Great video, very clear. Thank you 🙂
Sunflowers in amongst the laurels about 7 minutes in? And hope you said Hi to those posts who you fell out with last year ;-) Nice video as usual Stuart, May in the UK seems to have all sunshine and showers
Yep, while the laurels are establishing themselves I've taken the opportunity to plant some colour between them.

Lovely place 👍🏼
I always appreciate a great job, thanks
So nice of you
What is the liquid you painted on @12:00? I assume it’s for waterproofness. What’s the product?
Love it! - I didnt catch what you put on the top of the cut posts? An oil perhaps?
It is my standard wood preserver I tend to use
Please could we have progress videos on what you do with the land
On the bright side: At least the rain’s watering all the new grass seed!
There is always a silver lining
What's the best way/tool for checking nails or screws in reclaimed timber? Keep up the great content. Keep the videos coming.
Your eye is probably as good as anything else
Very nice. Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍

What a great job Stuart looks so much better mate …. Does you Mrs ever comment on any of your work,saying I like that what a great job ya done ? Mine does but only if it’s work for her lol 😊
How did you find out who owned the land you bought and costing up, or was it just for sale
I tracked him down
Love your videos mate.
Great video Stuart. That fence is looking good too.
Thanks
Tim and Fatima?!
Love your channel, great work!
Thank you! 😃
Cool hand ...cutting the parking meter heads off.
Bang on!
@11:27 I honestly snorted with laughter there. I could see the gag coming, but still funny :)
To snort with laughter .... my job is done!
Great video Stuart.
Was interesting to note, when you kept going on about rails, I noticed your cap.
Is it a Great British Railways cap?
Fantastic job 👏 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
A proper DIY as usual! What product did you use to put on top of the post?
Nice job. Easy when you know how.Best make sure her indoors diznae see this.😂

Not really but I have wire mesh ready to pin to the outside
