This is the fourth video of the 300'+ metal fence project!
In this video you see:

-sneak preview from DIY Metal Fence Part 4 on another 20' footing for more metal gates
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.
In Part 3 the installation continued and concrete forms were made to pour the footings for the metal.
Finally in Part 4 we see the complete project as the fence gets finished off... from one corner of the yard to the other!!! It was a huge project spanning a few months. Countless hours of cutting, welding, grinding, and painting.
