DIY Metal Fence Part 2

This is the second installment of the 300'+ metal fence project!
In this video you see:
-cutting the metal
-welding gates
-dropping gravel to level the approach to the gate
-installing the 20' top gate (gate 1 of 3)
-using a transit to calculate total drop from the top gate to the middle gate
This is a 300+ foot property line at my grandpa's that needed a fence; he wanted metal so we pulled out the welder and went to work on this DIY metal fence.
The welded metal fence has 3 gates, 2 - 20' and 1 - 16'. They are motorized sliders which means our footings are twice as long as the gate.
In Part 1 of this series we dig and pour the cement footing for the first 20' gate. This also involves installing the two metal poles which are offset from each other; one will have a roller guide to support the gate while it opens and closes and the other post will be in-line with the gate and will have a catch to help support the gate when fully closed.
In Part 2 we begin cutting metal and welding the gate/fence sections. The gate is primed indoors prior to installation. These DIY welded metal gates were a design my grandpa found online and liked. They ended up looking really sharp once installed and painted. The metal gates weighed about 500 lbs each and have two grooved wheels underneath that roll on a v-track to open and close.
Make sure you stay tuned for part three and four.... we'll see the fence really start to come together! You will be able to see us learn how to install a sliding gate. You'll also be able to see the landscaping improvement to the front yard as this beautiful fence takes shape! Nothin like DIY home improvement projects!
