If you stack your roof panels you can pre drill your screw holes. Drill through the whole stack. Huge time saver. Then you don’t need a story stick and the screws don’t have to drill. They can just screw. Learned that trick from my Amish crew. Smart builders they are. 😀
But it's not flawless. As here where he did not level and built over an undulating "hilly" landscape. In those cases a few prefilled stack holes will miss wood and be "hole" only. But certainly smarter and a timesaver! Thanks for the tip.

Big tip on metal roof panels thought is was taught long ago. Pre-drill your holes through the stack of sheets. You get clean lines and find all the studs. Looks great
I don't think that works with a fence because your working off of the grade for the ground where as a house your setting your metal off of a chalk line that's perfect level
@@ShawnWing-t1o itll work if he measures from the top down. seems like all those two bys and level...if he runs a string line on top and its straight, he should be good.

I was taught the 3,4,5 rule for square. Once your strings are laid out, measure 3' from corner or intersection of one string. Then measure 4' from corner and intersection of the opposite string. Now measure between the 3' and 4' marks and if it is truly square it will always equal 5'. When it doesnt just move one string until those two marks meet at 5' . then once one corner is square you just continue off that true corner only moving strings that have not been squared using 3,4,5 until you end back at your first true squared corner. Works well any size square and doing it by yourself. Anyone can easily measure 3 feet, 4 feet and 5 feet. And it is really easy to remember and you always have this tool or method with you! And I'm not a carpenter but an electrician originally; but found this knowledge "priceless"! Lol😂

This nice family must have rescued him when he got away from the diabolical organization fixing to exploit him for his talents. Thank you family for caring for him....I want him back.😉
The Great way to really make this last forever is doing EVERYTHING out of Aluminum, that means the wooden braces you used needs to be replaced with aluminum braces aswell. Wood over time gets older & you might not see it but after 2yrs or so inside each 2X4 the splinters starts to deteriorate with each strong storm & after a while the center of each wooden brace ( the weakest point ) will eventually break in half. They do this type of All Aluminum fences in Mexico & most all parts in South America & they do last a life time. Saludos✌🏽.
I'm a 77yr old woman who just learned how to make the best looking easily made privacy fence!!! Guess what im doing next spring?!❤😂 Thank you for the laughs, information, and tips, youre awesome🎉

I live in SW Missouri. You can easily dig down at least 1/4" without hitting a rock. In some places as deep as 1/2". I helped a friend build a privacy fence back in the mid-90's and never again. It was brutal work.
@@LikeAnOldFordTruck haha right! I trenched a water line 14inches deep and pulled out rocks bigger than my head. Had to buy dirt for backfill. Bright side, I have a lot of rock to build with!

One of our neighbors has a privacy fence built from roofing panels similar to this. We live in the deep south and deal with tornadoes, thunderstorms, etc. Their fence is still standing strong. Great video
That’s because the installer did their job right. There are wooden privacy fences in my area that are as old as me (32) and still look new. Just like with any material, if you maintain it and do it right the first time, it stands for a long time. NC resident
LOL ya it will stay up but will be so crooked and messed up after a year cause the ground shifts... are americans really this uneducated? No wonder america is falling apart
She's so lucky to have you as a brother. I wish I had someone to help me do stuff. I have to do it all myself. I love your personality too, sooo funny & energetic.
Still, nothing beats an electric one...plug, switch on and go... no strings attached.. no gas smell or spill on you, no smoke... I used these ..but have literally switched all my tool to electric or battery. Loving life

Recently I got estimates from several fence contractors and one of them installs metal posts. He said fence posts he installed 20 years ago are still standing and he's never had to replace any. After seeing this video, I'm going with the steel posts. Thanks!
Well we have 250 foot of fence with 4x4s set into concrete last 24 years, until our hurricane took out much of it, not many fences overcome 100+ MPH gusts.
@@phubarnow5388 Mounting and corners should be revised to enable laying and locking them down. Then set back up after some cleanup. Everything should be designed for the worst weather conditions possible anywhere. Add to that, to limit damage in case a giant sink hole opens under your home. Unless you paid for a deep penetration scan with result that guarantee it won't happen.
Great idea ! Im sending this to my grandson inlaw. He has had his own construction co for 4 yrs now. U are an inspiration to the young guys starting out.
The most underrated show on UA-cam. Thank you! My kids love your videos, my wife loves to add to the honey do list, and I get to rock out to some new tunes in the shop. Thank you sir. Glad to see you made it through all the storms.
It is Sunday morning for me. I came across this video and I was intrigued. I watched it from start to finish. I learned so much, but I laughed so hard! Your "editing" shot with the music and the big foot type creature was awesome. I really appreciate your trade skills, and your unwavering diligence to perfection. I have only built one fence in my life, but had to build it three times, to get it right. I definitely learned from you today, and truly enjoyed listening to you. You my friend are a good Man. Anyone human being who shares their skills, with others is GOLDEN. That's what we all should be doing. Thank you, and I appreciate you!
Love your videos and this fence idea! I read through the comments and didn't see this mentioned yet. I just wanted to mention that i noticed the overlap on the steel panels is backwards (not that it matters on this fence). The side of the panel that has the tiny flange should lay flat, and the other end that looks half finished lays on top of that. As you work down from where you started, this flanged end gives rigidity and strength for the half finished end. When the half finished end overlaps, it pushes tightly against the ridge it covers, creating a seamless look.
lol could someone please show mine. I gave up on mine several years ago when he started about A dozen things (one at A time. Promise to return. Tools etc left where he dropped them.) return not to finish a project but begin another. I pretty much avoid those areas to not disturb them just in case???? I’m now making it my mission to UA-cam how to complete disassembled chaos. 😂😂😂 I have it good. My sis N law it’s A good thing she too is independent
How will this stand up to wind? After you pounded the posts in you were tweaking the alignment by yanking on the post. If just pulling the post sideways with one persons body weight is enough to bend the posts then once the sheet metal goes on wouldn't a wind storm exert a much higher load? Looking the end profile of the metal post it seems strong in the same direction as the fence but not so much perpendicular to the fence line. The profile is sort of bowler hat whereas I would have expected a more top hat fashion choice.
Absolutely fantastic job I'm 70 years old hanging sheetrock for 50 years not in the fence business but I'll tell you what that was one of the greatest construction feats I've ever witnessed in my life thank you for posting
Just a tip for the screw template: make little hooks on both ends. The top end is holding the template, the bottom (max 1 inch wide) is holding the sheet metal so you can work freely with two hands.
Hearing that your music is copyright free makes me want to reconsider starting up my youtube channel again. It costs a lot to run the channel when you dont have enough subs yet or views to get you to a monetized state. Having to pay for one less thing is super helpful and I'd even donate some money for helping me out because obviously you put work into it. Thank you!
I put in round steel posts like you would use for a commercial fence and put up a wooden gate on Cattle panels, building a 6' x 12" gate. I used Hook straps and hung 2/4's and pickets right on the panels. Each panel was about $90. Big savings and has withstood some hefty winds.
That style of fence post is the best. We replaced a section with our fence with them, absolutely fantastic and easy (with a post driver). Never installing wood posts again, can't wait to replace the rest.
@trailerparkcryptoking5213 they are called PostMaster posts by Master Halco. You can rent pounders at a lot of rental places but the posts require a special adapter to drive they most likely will not have. Many fence companies are driving posts so they may drive them for you.
Watching this video makes me realize why I would absolutely hire someone to do this work---too complicated for me! But it's a great idea! And I totally agree that burying wood posts in concrete is a great way to rot them out fast.
I've always thought using corrugated or roof panels wood make a practically life long fence with steel post and stained horizontal. Glad to see someone do so. Unfortunately those steel post's are Dmed expensive, but they are easy and they work. This summer I rebuilt an RV gate, 14ft wide using stained (weather treatment for longevity) and the red plastic(?) roofing from Home Depot. Looks great, it's 200 pounds liter than using redwood and has already survived 35 mph wind here in Cal. Also wrapped a small shed in the green stuff, blends right in with the trees.
Dear Mr. Haxman, As a contractor for over 40 years, I can honestly say that my contractor friends nor I hate you or your videos. In fact, we get more business when we have to come out and fix all the DIY projects people see on UA-cam Videos. Thank You
Speaking of home depot. I had some bowed walls I was replacing drywall on and my thought was to grab some bowed 2x4s from the delivery I had received a few days ago and and sister them in with the bowed going the opposite way so it pulls the wall straight. But to my disappointment, they were all straight for once.
You gave me a great idea. Instead of the expensive plastic fencing, use this. I have an acre in Florida and your system saved my tons of money- Thank you. Subscribed!
I did the line movement thing you talked about and ended up giving my neighbor about two feet by the end of my property. So from 0 to 2ft in 450 feet. I had already dug and set all the posts by the time I realized so I just said to heck with it and congratulated him on the extra space. Oh well 🤷🏼♂️
Hey! A divining rod! So long ago, the guy who drilled our well used 3 different kinds of divining rods to locate where to drill. One was a fruit tree branch shaped like a Y - we used apple. Then he had a pair of nylon rods tied together at one end with nylon fishing line. And the last he used was the metal rods like you had. Pretty cool how they all worked to locate water.
You are hilarious! 😂. I laughed so hard while you were trying to get that post pounder thingy going, plus the aerial views getting farther and farther away, but the noise getting louder and louder - so funny! Glad you finally got it going, and the fence looks great! Glad I discovered you on UA-cam. I think I’m in for a lot of fun entertainment, and hopefully a lot of knowledge as well.
Thank you for helping your sister! You had me laughing so hard! I enjoy watching your videos, in part, because your behaviors remind me of one of my brothers that I lost a couple years ago. He picked on me a lot when we were young, and our older brother, who passed a couple years before him, was always in the middle defending me. About a year before he passed he was very sorry for the way he treated me and apologized. I told him there was no apology necessary but I accepted it. I barely remember those incidents but I do remember working on his car with him sometimes, helping him partially finish the basement, helping him put in a drop ceiling in the dining room and motorcycle rides. Blessings of love and light to all!
You made it look both fun and easy. I, however, strongly suspect that when I endeavor to accomplish such fencing, it will be neither fun no easy! lol! Thank you!
Thank you for saying that! That was all I could think of the entire time he was building this. Here in the Midwest, there aren't enough nails/screws that would 100% keep all that from blowing right off of there in a big storm. Maybe he lives where there's no wind?
these fences usually only last to the first 65 mph windstorm. The wind cannot pass through so they basically destroy themselves in time. Great video though, thumbs up and subscribe from me!

Thank you for saying that. We have clay soil and concrete footers in every post. I feel like builsers tell people concrete will prevent rotting, just to keep you constantly buying posts.

You are a gift. I miss my brother so much who would do anything in the world for me, his sissy. Tell your sister what an absolute blessing it is to have her brother!❤
Looks great! I'm in the middle of a cabin project and was considering doing a fence like this. Several people have told me it will look like crap. I think this proves them wrong. Love the video! 😁
@@HAXMAN Just shared the video with one of the "look like crap" guys. He changed his mind! Since the cabin has two-tone metal siding, the plan is to do the fence the same way, so it looks more like an extension of the cabin. Of course, that could change. Plans keep doing that! 🤣
Il y avait plus de suspense et de créativité que dans la majorité des films hollywoodien depuis 2020. Le suspense du démarrage manuel de la machine à faillit m'achever😁
Loved the Secret Bookshelf that isn’t secret anymore but it’s cool still lol! Love how you make it entertaining on all your videos! Original humor is appreciated
This might seem like overkill, but living in a hurricane zone i now put posts in every 4 ft instead of 8 ft and put posts 4 ft in the ground. Nothing has ever blown over since i started installing this way.
I used to put up pole barns. To make screw placement quicker, stack roofing sheets and punch holes at the desired positions. (The holes will go through several sheets) This does two things, makes the screw lines straight and aids faster screw attachment.
So happy to see you and the family made it through Helene 🙏 sorry the trees didn't 😮 hope Milton passed with no troubles . Enjoyed the video 👍👍 have fun with music 🎶
I've only watched the first 5 min but he need a work bench and table for cutting..his back will be sore. I LOVE that you tell people wood roots in the ground especially with water.

@@DeusVolo Are you sure he's not actually your uncle?
I think he's my long lost brother. He was kidnapped at a young age because of his humor under pressure and his genius take on projects, construction, editing and music. This nice family must have rescued him when he got away from the diabolical organization fixing to exploit him for his talents. Thank you family for caring for him....I want him back.😉
Ikr?
The Great way to really make this last forever is doing EVERYTHING out of Aluminum, that means the wooden braces you used needs to be replaced with aluminum braces aswell.
Wood over time gets older & you might not see it but after 2yrs or so inside each 2X4 the splinters starts to deteriorate with each strong storm & after a while the center of each wooden brace ( the weakest point ) will eventually break in half.
They do this type of All Aluminum fences in Mexico & most all parts in South America & they do last a life time.

I'm a 77yr old woman who just learned how to make the best looking easily made privacy fence!!! Guess what im doing next spring?!❤😂
Thank you for the laughs, information, and tips, youre awesome🎉
I agree. This worked great for a nice looking fence. Got me wondering if you could use these same posts for building a wood shed or a storage shed? Because of the not rotting comment.
I don’t know what it is about you and your work, but I love it. Your down to earth, funny, smart, and very creative, I can go on but I think u get the picture. By the way my name is Maria and I am 73 years young. We would be so much happier if we had more People Like You. ❤
Thank you so much Maria!
Yes ,he is! I love his personality, plus ,he's intelligent!
❤
I’m so jealous of everyone on UA-cam without a bazillion rocks in their land 😂! Looks great!
Feels
Wife and I just got our homestead and its on solid rock. Lol exhausting!!!
@@jplezon5014 the second you think “their might not be any rocks here” as your 2 feet deep, CLUNK!!! Haha
I live in SW Missouri. You can easily dig down at least 1/4" without hitting a rock. In some places as deep as 1/2". I helped a friend build a privacy fence back in the mid-90's and never again. It was brutal work.
@@LikeAnOldFordTruck haha right! I trenched a water line 14inches deep and pulled out rocks bigger than my head. Had to buy dirt for backfill. Bright side, I have a lot of rock to build with!
@@NathanExplosion99 legend has it, you’re still digging those post holes!!! 🤣
You are an amazing man and even better brother. As someone whose brother has bullied and been in and out of prison, and never did a single positive thing for his family ever, I am in awe. I grieve daily over a dysfunctional birth family. Your parents did an amazing job!
This is me and my Brother!!! We have made wonderful memories working together!! Thanks for reminding me that quality time spent together is the best gift we can give each other. My brother is exactly like this man. God bless him !! Dear Jesus take care of him
Glad to see I'm not the only one that whispers sweet nothing's to mechanical tools!
😂
There are people that don't?!
I don't whisper to them, I just tell them that they will land in my husbands clutches. He is very good at scrapping everything out. They start out of shock. =)
And our vehicles... got to pet that dash regularly
That whole thing was a Riot. Who doesn't hate starting the damn things, or reading the directions. The echoing sound over the hills......roflmao Made my day after a very long hard one. Blessings for you and yours :))))))))
One of our neighbors has a privacy fence built from roofing panels similar to this. We live in the deep south and deal with tornadoes, thunderstorms, etc. Their fence is still standing strong. Great video
That’s because the installer did their job right. There are wooden privacy fences in my area that are as old as me (32) and still look new. Just like with any material, if you maintain it and do it right the first time, it stands for a long time. NC resident
Metal fence probably isn't much cheaper than regular fencing...😅
LOL ya it will stay up but will be so crooked and messed up after a year cause the ground shifts... are americans really this uneducated? No wonder america is falling apart
@@williamchaplick4227I don't know what those roof panels cost where he's at but where I am I could build a block wall for less than that fence lol.😂
She's so lucky to have you as a brother. I wish I had someone to help me do stuff. I have to do it all myself. I love your personality too, sooo funny & energetic.
Let the helper know she did an awesome job!
I laughed at the visuals and the sound of you trying to start the post hole machine….until instructions were followed! Thanks! (For the laugh) 👏👍
Still, nothing beats an electric one...plug, switch on and go... no strings attached.. no gas smell or spill on you, no smoke... I used these ..but have literally switched all my tool to electric or battery. Loving life
Yup, great segment!
AGREED! It was really funny!
Yes, like you, I have always felt that reading the instructions for doing something is always a last resort procedure, something you do if all else fails. Love your humor, your instruction and your talent. Your family is lucky to have you around them.
I counted 35+ cord pulls. I am glad he read the instructions.
Recently I got estimates from several fence contractors and one of them installs metal posts. He said fence posts he installed 20 years ago are still standing and he's never had to replace any. After seeing this video, I'm going with the steel posts. Thanks!
Wood posts I sunk 20 years ago are also standing. Marella is also not stronger
yeah 20 years ago metal was metal now its tin foil good luck with that
Well we have 250 foot of fence with 4x4s set into concrete last 24 years, until our hurricane took out much of it, not many fences overcome 100+ MPH gusts.
@@phubarnow5388 Mounting and corners should be revised to enable laying and locking them down. Then set back up after some cleanup. Everything should be designed for the worst weather conditions possible anywhere. Add to that, to limit damage in case a giant sink hole opens under your home. Unless you paid for a deep penetration scan with result that guarantee it won't happen.
Great idea ! Im sending this to my grandson inlaw. He has had his own construction co for 4 yrs now. U are an inspiration to the young guys starting out.
Brother, I love you for being so kind to your family!
I never liked wood fences. That medle fence looks 10 times better. Your sister is blessed to have you help her. Great job.
Metal fence
@@lefthandmc No it's a medl fence to keep the medling lookie loos out..
The most underrated show on UA-cam. Thank you!
My kids love your videos, my wife loves to add to the honey do list, and I get to rock out to some new tunes in the shop.
Thank you sir. Glad to see you made it through all the storms.
Thank you so much Chris!
It is Sunday morning for me. I came across this video and I was intrigued. I watched it from start to finish. I learned so much, but I laughed so hard! Your "editing" shot with the music and the big foot type creature was awesome. I really appreciate your trade skills, and your unwavering diligence to perfection. I have only built one fence in my life, but had to build it three times, to get it right. I definitely learned from you today, and truly enjoyed listening to you. You my friend are a good Man. Anyone human being who shares their skills, with others is GOLDEN. That's what we all should be doing. Thank you, and I appreciate you!
As someone who did this and metal buildings and roofs, it doesn’t matter what you use as long as the fence is sturdy.
Love your videos and this fence idea! I read through the comments and didn't see this mentioned yet. I just wanted to mention that i noticed the overlap on the steel panels is backwards (not that it matters on this fence). The side of the panel that has the tiny flange should lay flat, and the other end that looks half finished lays on top of that. As you work down from where you started, this flanged end gives rigidity and strength for the half finished end. When the half finished end overlaps, it pushes tightly against the ridge it covers, creating a seamless look.
Brothers. Don't know where'd we be without them.
lol could someone please show mine.
I gave up on mine several years ago when he started about A dozen things (one at A time. Promise to return. Tools etc left where he dropped them.) return not to finish a project but begin another.
I pretty much avoid those areas to not disturb them just in case????
I’m now making it my mission to UA-cam how to complete disassembled chaos. 😂😂😂
I have it good. My sis N law it’s A good thing she too is independent
How will this stand up to wind? After you pounded the posts in you were tweaking the alignment by yanking on the post. If just pulling the post sideways with one persons body weight is enough to bend the posts then once the sheet metal goes on wouldn't a wind storm exert a much higher load? Looking the end profile of the metal post it seems strong in the same direction as the fence but not so much perpendicular to the fence line. The profile is sort of bowler hat whereas I would have expected a more top hat fashion choice.
Absolutely fantastic job I'm 70 years old hanging sheetrock for 50 years not in the fence business but I'll tell you what that was one of the greatest construction feats I've ever witnessed in my life thank you for posting
Just a tip for the screw template: make little hooks on both ends. The top end is holding the template, the bottom (max 1 inch wide) is holding the sheet metal so you can work freely with two hands.
"You certainly could Kim, if you didn't care what it looked like!" Laughed way too hard! Sounded like me talking to my sister!😅😅😅
Nice fence. What i envy the most are the lady's safety flip-flops! I am looking for this kind of heavy duty workwear since ages
Built Fencs my whole life and can honestly say, you did a phenomenal job. No rookie mistakes were made 👍🏽
Thank you very much!
Hax...youe the best! (From a native Floridian of 70 years) you ARE definitely a blessing to all! ❤😊
Hearing that your music is copyright free makes me want to reconsider starting up my youtube channel again. It costs a lot to run the channel when you dont have enough subs yet or views to get you to a monetized state. Having to pay for one less thing is super helpful and I'd even donate some money for helping me out because obviously you put work into it. Thank you!
what keeps the fence posts from sinking over time due to weather?
Glad to see y'all are safe after the hurricane. So good those trees didnt hit your home!
I put in round steel posts like you would use for a commercial fence and put up a wooden gate on Cattle panels, building a 6' x 12" gate. I used Hook straps and hung 2/4's and pickets right on the panels. Each panel was about $90. Big savings and has withstood some hefty winds.
That style of fence post is the best. We replaced a section with our fence with them, absolutely fantastic and easy (with a post driver). Never installing wood posts again, can't wait to replace the rest.
What is that style post called and who sells them? And who rents those post drivers? Thanks
@trailerparkcryptoking5213 they are called PostMaster posts by Master Halco.
You can rent pounders at a lot of rental places but the posts require a special adapter to drive they most likely will not have. Many fence companies are driving posts so they may drive them for you.
Thank you for producing such a useful video tutorial! As a carpenter, you are helping me overcome my fear of sheet metal !
Watching this video makes me realize why I would absolutely hire someone to do this work---too complicated for me! But it's a great idea! And I totally agree that burying wood posts in concrete is a great way to rot them out fast.
This man's impressions game is on point
I've always thought using corrugated or roof panels wood make a practically life long fence with steel post and stained horizontal. Glad to see someone do so. Unfortunately those steel post's are Dmed expensive, but they are easy and they work. This summer I rebuilt an RV gate, 14ft wide using stained (weather treatment for longevity) and the red plastic(?) roofing from Home Depot. Looks great, it's 200 pounds liter than using redwood and has already survived 35 mph wind here in Cal. Also wrapped a small shed in the green stuff, blends right in with the trees.
@woodturner1954 do you have a pic of your fence using the red plastic roofing panels for your fence?
Dear Mr. Haxman,
As a contractor for over 40 years, I can honestly say that my contractor friends nor I hate you or your videos. In fact, we get more business when we have to come out and fix all the DIY projects people see on UA-cam Videos.
Thank You
I showed up to watch a video about making a fence, unexpectedly got some awesome music. Great work.
I love the top board. It’s a squirrel walk or run.
Speaking of home depot. I had some bowed walls I was replacing drywall on and my thought was to grab some bowed 2x4s from the delivery I had received a few days ago and and sister them in with the bowed going the opposite way so it pulls the wall straight. But to my disappointment, they were all straight for once.
You gave me a great idea. Instead of the expensive plastic fencing, use this. I have an acre in Florida and your system saved my tons of money- Thank you. Subscribed!
I did the line movement thing you talked about and ended up giving my neighbor about two feet by the end of my property. So from 0 to 2ft in 450 feet. I had already dug and set all the posts by the time I realized so I just said to heck with it and congratulated him on the extra space. Oh well 🤷🏼♂️
Straight lines in nature do not exist. Always measure
Love your fence idea! It was a good chuckle when your post hole pounder would not start! It was “I hate when that happens“ moment 😅
Putting together a great sound track and making it copyright free... You're the real MVP. I'm going to subscribe now. You've earned it.
Hey! A divining rod! So long ago, the guy who drilled our well used 3 different kinds of divining rods to locate where to drill. One was a fruit tree branch shaped like a Y - we used apple. Then he had a pair of nylon rods tied together at one end with nylon fishing line. And the last he used was the metal rods like you had. Pretty cool how they all worked to locate water.
You are hilarious! 😂. I laughed so hard while you were trying to get that post pounder thingy going, plus the aerial views getting farther and farther away, but the noise getting louder and louder - so funny! Glad you finally got it going, and the fence looks great! Glad I discovered you on UA-cam. I think I’m in for a lot of fun entertainment, and hopefully a lot of knowledge as well.
Informative, entertaining and funny.
Thank you so much!!
I have to agree with you! That was hilarious! Also, him whispering to it. lol
Wrote same to scroll down and see you. Priceless right! I think I'll forward it to my Dad.
You can also run a string to keep your screw rows nice and straight
Thank you for helping your sister! You had me laughing so hard! I enjoy watching your videos, in part, because your behaviors remind me of one of my brothers that I lost a couple years ago. He picked on me a lot when we were young, and our older brother, who passed a couple years before him, was always in the middle defending me. About a year before he passed he was very sorry for the way he treated me and apologized. I told him there was no apology necessary but I accepted it. I barely remember those incidents but I do remember working on his car with him sometimes, helping him partially finish the basement, helping him put in a drop ceiling in the dining room and motorcycle rides. Blessings of love and light to all!
Your silliness makes me miss my dad. I am also VERY handy because of him, too. You're doin' great things 😊
You made it look both fun and easy. I, however, strongly suspect that when I endeavor to accomplish such fencing, it will be neither fun no easy! lol! Thank you!
Wow she went all in on those pallets! She's fully invested!!!
Why is he SO FUNNY and he makes something so boring so cool to watch AND he includes cool music? SUBSCRIBED!
Great instructional video. One question, what if you wanted a gate on this fence, how would you go about that?
Idk how in the heck i ended up here, but this man seems wonderful!!
There is a reason fences have holes on them. this fence will be a projectile in a major storm. The wind will rip those post right out. My opinion.
I wondered about the wind's effect on it.
Thank you for saying that! That was all I could think of the entire time he was building this. Here in the Midwest, there aren't enough nails/screws that would 100% keep all that from blowing right off of there in a big storm. Maybe he lives where there's no wind?
these fences usually only last to the first 65 mph windstorm. The wind cannot pass through so they basically destroy themselves in time. Great video though, thumbs up and subscribe from me!
@@TheIndemnifier lol,,didnt you even read what I wrote? You say these fences as if you have ever seen another one in your life. We have never seen one because the dude in this video built the one and only. No , i will not sub to you.
@@bullzeyez3236 I see these fences all over the rust belt and the Appalachians very common, my point is they do not last very long. They are so common because they are cheap and fast to put up. I was referring to liking and subscribing to the maker of this video, not me, I do not have any content. Sorry you are so confused. lol
Thank you for saying that. We have clay soil and concrete footers in every post. I feel like builsers tell people concrete will prevent rotting, just to keep you constantly buying posts.
I would like to know the cost of the entire project. Also are you putting the ugly side toward your neighbors?
Pretty slick. I wouldn't have thought of using metal roofing for fence.
Don't think I could afford it.
@@DO-hc3lecheapest I’ve found is $2.55/ft! Poles..$90/each 😳💰💵💸
You, Haxmeister, are a better person than I.... because there's NO ONE in my family that I like enough to do...... ANYTHING for! There's definitely a place in Heaven reserved for you! I must say, the damage to your place was bad but it looks like you came through better than some areas here in NC! Glad you're ok but I hope you made it through Milton also!!! Take care, be safe and God bless!
Thank you Jim!
You are a gift. I miss my brother so much who would do anything in the world for me, his sissy. Tell your sister what an absolute blessing it is to have her brother!❤
Looks great! I'm in the middle of a cabin project and was considering doing a fence like this. Several people have told me it will look like crap. I think this proves them wrong. Love the video! 😁
Thanks! Good luck with the cabin project!
@@HAXMAN Just shared the video with one of the "look like crap" guys. He changed his mind!
Since the cabin has two-tone metal siding, the plan is to do the fence the same way, so it looks more like an extension of the cabin. Of course, that could change. Plans keep doing that! 🤣
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I think it looks awful.
@@BruceHurley True, it is. I'm picturing it in the proper colors and completely finished with wood trim. If not, recycling is always an option. 😁
Il y avait plus de suspense et de créativité que dans la majorité des films hollywoodien depuis 2020. Le suspense du démarrage manuel de la machine à faillit m'achever😁
Building a metal fence is something I will probably never attempt. But it was quite entertaining to watch you do it😂
BAD ASS!!! What a great idea. Fast and looks good and lasts.
Mark Olson and his son did an excellent job. Very informative.
I don't know why, but I just LOVE this guy!!! I wish he was in MY family! I'm hooked.💕💕
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I don't read instructions like you. Regrets. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Awesome video. You're awesome with providing music for us to use.
Oh goodness! I needed the laugh. Pulling the cord and space echo. I literally had to laugh out loud! All Alone. Funny stuff
My brother in law was a builder and he Always water witched!!!
RIP Uncle Lou!! 🙏🇺🇸
Reminds of Grandpa!
I love how you explain everything. I appreciate the simplification of the instructions with the humor. 😊
Loved the Secret Bookshelf that isn’t secret anymore but it’s cool still lol! Love how you make it entertaining on all your videos! Original humor is appreciated
LOL So precise with "and 9/16ths", then proceeds to spray paint a big ole "X marks the spot" that's at least 1 1/2" wide! 😂 😂 😂
This might seem like overkill, but living in a hurricane zone i now put posts in every 4 ft instead of 8 ft and put posts 4 ft in the ground. Nothing has ever blown over since i started installing this way.
Code where I live
I used to put up pole barns. To make screw placement quicker, stack roofing sheets and punch holes at the desired positions. (The holes will go through several sheets) This does two things, makes the screw lines straight and aids faster screw attachment.
So happy to see you and the family made it through Helene 🙏 sorry the trees didn't 😮 hope Milton passed with no troubles . Enjoyed the video 👍👍 have fun with music 🎶
Thanks so much!
I contracted fence once when I was little. I'm feeling much better now.
I've only watched the first 5 min but he need a work bench and table for cutting..his back will be sore. I LOVE that you tell people wood roots in the ground especially with water.
He's dowsing for direction or you can do it to find water, using Dowsing rods.
3:26 3,4,5 triangles are a great help for squaring up lines over distance with string
6:27 also, putting a clamp at 3’ can help you focus on keeping plumb
Loved the show brother I'm a fence builder and can say that you really did a nice job on that fence! (Enjoyed watching your work very much!)
Thank you Bradley!
In our family,we say work smarter not harder! It’s amazing how much we can get done without killing ourselves . Make a plan and follow through.
He seems like a fun and cool brother, so awesome! He is so funny!! I almost want to try this myself. He made it look doable. I like this content.
