Everything NOT To Do Building Privacy Fence
Вставка

- There are some fences we are called to replace that just take the cake, and this is one of them. This cedar fence is only 5 years old, but it's falling down and was ridiculously engineered.
Today we'll show you all the problems, rip it out, and replace it with a fence that will last. - Навчання та стиль
Those cedar pickets were in perfect condition and could have been reused.
He mentions that at 2:45. I think what he meant was that it’d be too labor/time intensive.
@@archiesauls3672so let's just destroy the environment then ... Good plan. 👍
If you would be okay with screw/nail holes everywhere. Some of it had two rails and some three rails. Non of it looked like it was consistent in rail placement. But you’re right, it was in perfect shape being only five years old.
Ahhh the good ol “I know a guy who knows a guy that will do it for cheap” kinda fence. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right?! 🤣
Everyone has a guy 😂…. Experience has to be learned … 😅
My wooden fence in my backyard was built from a rig like that, Someone put a wood fence with posts every 8 feet apart, when they are supposed to be 4 feet apart. Hurricane Katrina blew it over so I took it apart and reassembled it in my yard. For posts I used scrap sign posts spaced every 4 feet. It still stands to this day .
I used some retrofit braces like that for a small 3 foot wide by 5 foot tall privacy fence for an HVAC unit. Seems to work OK for that application but I wouldn't use one on a perimeter fence or one subject to any wind loading.
I have a similar situation where I have the post almost two feet away from the house because of underground wire and foundation extending. I used a PT section of 2x6 under ground to prevent accidentally tamping wire near post and I have a flat top 2x6 top plate trim for the entire fence. For that section I think I'll need to attach the fence to the top w 2x4 like the rest of the fence, or I considered a mini gate.
Screwed fences are not only stronger but way easier to dismantle. I don't know why you didn't just take the pickets off 'n reuse them. Were the pickets bad?
I wish I had found your channel when I started replacing the fence around our property last year! I've learned a ton from your vids and you've made me a believer in the postmaster posts! Keep up the good work 👍
Great video as always It’s a shame that you see it all to often people ripping off customers, getting over their heads and not giving a good effort to do the project and a bad experience for the customer. Always get references and look at a project they did over a year ago and recent projects and if your going to hire someone it helps if the company says fence company, ( not landscaping, handyman etc)
The pea gravel at the bottom of a post is from people who don't know fence. Probably 25% of my customers ask me to put gravel at the bottom of the post because they read an article about it. 20 years of putting up fence and the posts are always rotten at the top 6 inches. I tell people it's better to have the stability of a deeper post.
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they use those braces on porches.
those posts are awesome and you guys do nice work.
Thanks so much!
I am very impressed.
This was a great video! My exp is limited. I've said no to a couple jobs because of this, however the best job I've had so far, was one I said no to, but my references said I could do it to this client. I came back and only agreed to do it if A. They knew I was learning and had never done such a job before. B. They were willing to pay for me to go slower and learn. Its been over a year now and im still doing punch lists for them and have completed many reno jobs around their house.
Great video! No fuss!!
Nice pro job. Homeowner here. Why Quik Rok instead of the usual Quikrete? I looked it up, it seems to be another type of cement but harder to find...
What core bit diameter should be used for a 4x4 post?
Nice 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Help please I am a 44 year chica and I am dearing to build my yard fence. I am researching what to do and not to do.
The home owner wanted to get it done cheap. It got done cheap. She got her money worth.
I have never seen a wooden fence with a metal support post. Is that something new? Does it make the structure stronger than using a wooden support post.
It's the only way we'll build wood fence. ua-cam.com/video/a1BwCOX0XhM/v-deo.html
Nice job guys. SWI has a new star, watch out Dan. Lol.
Yep… he did a good danged job!
Yep!
Hey I agree Roger, it is awesome seeing more of the team 👍
What kind of core drill do you have?
A Hilti. 👍🏻
I'm confused about what you actually used to set the steel posts. At first I saw Quik rock, then Quikcrete 🤔
Quick-Rok where we core-drilled out the existing concrete. Quikcrete where we were digging new holes next to the existing concrete.
Can't teach stupid, good video! Wood is still a crap material for a fence, looks like 💩 after awhile.
I just replaced a fence held up by mailbox post holders they had It for 5 months before it fell ove
😲
I would never mix concrete in single wheeled wheelbarrow. That's just waiting for an accident.
looks like all those pickets could be saved.
Boy howdy! That’s a ton of stupid… How do you tell me you don’t know how to build a cedar fence, without telling me you don’t know anything about building a cedar fence?
However, it wasn’t exactly everything that could be done wrong. After all… The dog ears of the pickets were up.
It had that going for it!
Thanx for the good danged video.
I guess you're right! 😂
U guys always handmix?
No. We usually order off of a truck, but we do hand mix when we only need a little. We drove a majority of these so we didn't need much concrete.
Sad to see all that good wood go to waste.
That shit is gonna get used somewhere else and billed again
Seconds into the video I saw that top runner picket reveal I knew this one was going to be trash
You were not wrong.
And that is y you are taking all the pickets lol
Good job 20k later
WHY DON'T YOU WEAR MASK WHEN WORKING WITH CONCRETE POWDER? IRON LUNGS
Probably should
@@SWiFence I WOULD BRO..DONT MESS WITH THE LUNGS..IF THEY GET DISEASED..YOULL HAVE DOUBLE BREAST IMPLANTS FOR LUNG REPLACEMENTS
Wow , that takes talent to do such a bad job .
Right?
Bullshit you could reuse it but it a lot of work
