If you have kids you should be amicable to your ex like this guy. What you do for her or him is actually for your kids. You are teaching them to be kind and helpful. They emulate what they see. This is exactly what I needed to see- now to undertake this project in bits and pieces
I want to thank you very much for this video! I just finished building onto my block wall! So much more privacy. Specially when me and the family are in the pool. Great Job! Again, Thank you!!!
I agree ! Thanks for noticing. Most simply complain about the shaky camera, but you, benevolent one that you are, sees past all that and only acknowledges the greatness. lol. Okay we won't talk Dodgers for now.
Thanks for the instruction. I only changed one thing from this and that was that I used redhead sleeve anchors instead of wedge anchors. I was have issues with the wedge anchors popping out and read that sleeve anchors might be a better choice for cinder block. Otherwise the total project only took about 12 hours and looks amazing.
You did a great job this is exactly what I was looking for. I have plans to build my fence and thinking about doing half Concrete and the other half wood. It's better to keep the peace. I admire that
I could swear that when you said,"All the dog ears have been cut," I immediately heard a "Ruff! Ruff!" in the background. That, my friend, is great film direction!
It's been a lonnnnnng time since I made this and I refined the system quite a bit. Use coated screws instead of nails. The nails pull out over time. Instead of attaching the frame to the wall with Red Heads, use ext grade lag screws and lag shields. Much easier and stronger. Good luck and thanks for watching.
This was 10 years and 100 fences ago. I stopped making them with vertical boards. Instead I use 4 or 5 rows of horizontal tongue and groove boards, but the framing was the same. Thanks for watching.
Sir, you made this look so simple but doable for any average weekend warrior guy like myself. I don’t have tools for this but I’m going to Home Depot anyways to see if I can purchase panels like these and put them up myself.
Thanks. We have an amazing child together, and even though it didn't work out, I have to express gratitude, for my daughter is my reason for living. Thanks for watching.
When he said he was building it for his ex and free.. first thing I thought was ‘wait there’s more guys out there like my ex?’ Lol I know I’m blessed to be able to count on him and his family for literally anything I might need.. we might not be together but he’s still my best friend.
You're welcome. I've built so many of these since posting this video. I can't even count them all. I've refined the system many times. Good luck and thanks for watching.
That's not a bad idea. I would include some kind of horizontal material. drill a hole through a piece of metal and put that tween two nuts. Anything to make it harder for the threaded rod to spin. Also, when you will the concrete, hit the side of the block gently with a hammer to release any air pockets.
You're welcome. What's funny is that I hadn't intended to make this video, I just decided at the last second since I had my camera with me. After posting this, my phone blew up with requests to build this type of fence. I had no idea how popular this type of fence was. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
I'm glad I could inspire you. Be sure to watch my other horizontal privacy fence video because since shooting this, I've abandoned the use of RED HEADS. They're too unreliable. I use lag shields instead and the results are much better. Good luck with it and thanks for watching.
Terrific video and great work. Like another comment glad i went through the comments to here you are doing the horizontal look now. I got 123 lineal feet of wall to cover. In Long Beach
Great video!wanted to know if it is possible to build this type of fence using the lag bolts and sleeves you have suggested if the masonry wall isn't filled with concrete?
thanks for the video I have to do something similar...the old one i tore down(termites!) did not use redhead but some odd wood base frame and braces...I am surprised you put panels/boards on both sides..i suppose for looks..but looks pretty good. My needs to be a bit bigger..maybe 4 feet...I am wondering if the red heads will be enough on windy days..
Impressive and beautiful! Where is this awesome young man? I want a fence topper! I want a foot higher then the maximum allowable. The neighbors built a house right up against my block wall I called the city three times and even had my brother call. They just brushed it off.
Great video and exactly what I was looking for! Did you go back and screw each plank in after the nails? Also wondering if there was a reason why you chose not to cut the dog ears in multiple planks? Do the cuts get sloppy when you do that? Thanks again!!!
It was so long ago, I don't recall. However, after doing several of these, I switched to lag shields and lag screws. Far better for this application. Red heads are good in solid concrete but terrible in a block wall. I use a 5/16" x 1 3/4" lag shield. Drill with a 1/2" masonry bit, install a 5/16" ext grade lag shield. I did dozens of these fences and that was the best combo. Thanks for watching.
Wow, this was great. We just moved to Palm Springs. Can I use wood like this for desert environment where the summers typically get to be 115 degrees? I wonder if the wood can handle that type of heat or if I should try to use another type of material.
Great video! I have a question. If I share my wall with a commercial building, do I have to ask them for permission to add a fence just like this video? Or is this something I can built without asking them. Thank you in advance!
Thank you pal and great job 👍 motivated me to get myself moving to do the same, i need it badly, my neighbors are filthy, loud confrontational Salvadorian pricks. I don't wanna keep seeing them. Love the ending speech 🙂
I no longer use nails. I prefer screws, but if you're going to use nails, use galvanized of course and 16 gauge at least. If you can find a nail gun that shoots ring shank nails, that would be better. Thanks for watching.
***** It will depend on the composition of the rock. Since posting this video, I've actually had better luck using "sleeve anchors," instead of expansion anchor used in the video. I would recommend doing some test drilling and anchors on the rock to find out what works best before you commit to anything. Good luck with it and thanks for watching.
This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for! Glad I read through some of the comments too though. I am curious, will this work (lag shield and lag screws) work on a 3" brick? Obviously I wouldn't be putting that wood on top and have it hanging over, but I'm looking into extending the height of my fence for privacy reasons, without having to add more bricks on top or build an interior wall right up against the brick.
Thanks for the nice words. I no longer use Redheads and only use lag screws and shields. Bricks are very tricky though because they can shatter very easily. Maybe try a few tests and see how it goes. When dealing with bricks, I remove them and pour concrete and a "J" bolt, then cut the brick up and mortar it back in for cosmetics. Give it a shot though. Thanks for watching.
Seems your horizontal fence video is now removed. I watched it once and found it quite helpful for my upcoming project. Any chance it could be re-uploaded? thanks a bunch for your helpful vids.

Exactly! He providing more privacy for his kids when they are there.
Nice job with the editing. No fluff. Pure information. Love it!
Thank you! I followed what you did here and it worked great! Now my neighbor can't see into my kitchen, what a relief. :)

What size red heads and drill bit did you used?

What size sleeve anchors did you use ? I need to go through the 2x4 and the top of the cinder block wall
You did a great job this is exactly what I was looking for. I have plans to build my fence and thinking about doing half Concrete and the other half wood. It's better to keep the peace. I admire that
Thank you so much! I know its beeb 5 years since this video was posted but I just did this build and cane out great! Thanks for the help!
This was amazingly detailed, great job! Loved the bit about making a jig for the repetitive cuts.
Me TOO! Gonna save me time when I do my daughters fence.
Nice view from both sides. The neighbor must be happy.
Thanks. I have a lot of fun doing these even though it's very time consuming. I appreciate your comments.
Thanks for the video man, I was going to pay to have mine don't but I will be doing it now thank you
Free AND it's for the ex? You sir, are a better man than I. Or maybe she's on the other side of the wall... lol!
It's not always easy I must admit, but we have a child together and I must practice kindness. Thanks for watching.
That was funny 😆
He's a simp
@Genesis My Life Wow, haters gonna hate. Let him alone.
@@JM-fo1te You have a face only a mother could love, and then again...
I could swear that when you said,"All the dog ears have been cut," I immediately heard a "Ruff! Ruff!" in the background. That, my friend, is great film direction!
Lol
This video is awesome. Answered a lot of questions.
Well done . Daniel wittek and I did a fence job after watching this , great production time saving tips
God bless you brother,
Thank you I’ve been wanting to do something like this.
You made it look easy

Brilliant idea! Brilliant video production! Many thanks!
Many thanks from the UK! Liked.
Great to hear and thanks for watching.
It is so amazing how you do all this with one hand, Mr Director.
You may have to be considered the GOAT in carpentry! Nice work!
I did this work thanks to your idea ill apreciate very helfull now my back yard is more secure and privacy
Sir, you made this look so simple but doable for any average weekend warrior guy like myself. I don’t have tools for this but I’m going to Home Depot anyways to see if I can purchase panels like these and put them up myself.
I have a lot of respect for you ! I couldn't help myself smiling when you said " I built this fence for my ex...! " 😀
Thanks. We have an amazing child together, and even though it didn't work out, I have to express gratitude, for my daughter is my reason for living. Thanks for watching.
Did the X live next door and you don’t want to see her??!!
Great job on the fence.
thanks for the suggestion!!! Great job.
Men like you are very rare. It's to bad your relationship didn't work out. She is blessed whether she knows it or not.
When he said he was building it for his ex and free.. first thing I thought was ‘wait there’s more guys out there like my ex?’ Lol I know I’m blessed to be able to count on him and his family for literally anything I might need.. we might not be together but he’s still my best friend.
Thabks for the upload. Exactly what I was looking for. The wall looks great.
Thumbs up

I have watched all your videos and I love them. Keep them coming if you have the time.
After seen this video finally i got motivated....thanks
nice work, good explanation of the steps to follow
Awesome work, beautiful!
Great video! Thanks for your help!
Nice work. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the response. I was going to use threaded rod with a nut and washer attached to the bottom to anchor into the concrete.
That's not a bad idea. I would include some kind of horizontal material. drill a hole through a piece of metal and put that tween two nuts. Anything to make it harder for the threaded rod to spin. Also, when you will the concrete, hit the side of the block gently with a hammer to release any air pockets.
Thanks for the video. Been meaning to do this exact thing. Thanks for taking the guess work out of it!

This is perfect. I am building a horizontal privacy fence and needed all this info.
What size lag shields?
My neighbor will go Nuts
I have got to build this :)
@@askillthatpays do you have a video where you're installing lag shields?
Great job, Thanks for the video. I am in the process of putting together a material list and start my fence extension project this weekend.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
LOL. I hadn't noticed the timing of that until you pointed it out. That IS funny. Thanks for mentioning.
what size redhead screw did you use? what kind of drill bit?
Great job!
Very professional, clean and functional. Nice work man.👍

Came out great thanks!
You are a good man and very handy ❤
Great video! You made everything look effortless. The fence was perfected down to a T, I can only wish one day my carpentry skills are to your level.

I like your Idea.... i will be adding 2-3feet to a 4feet brickwall
Amazing tutorial! Thank you for all the detail and step-by-step instructions. Best tutorial I’ve seen on UA-cam
very imformative...nice job
dope video!!
Wow 🎉that looks good
Wow, this was great. We just moved to Palm Springs. Can I use wood like this for desert environment where the summers typically get to be 115 degrees? I wonder if the wood can handle that type of heat or if I should try to use another type of material.
It's like commentary by Bill Paxton.
I’m going to follow this step by step . I hope u don’t fail me
ONE CHANGE. Instead of nails, use 1 5/8" coated screws. I've had boards pull off with the nails. Screws work much better. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I have a question. If I share my wall with a commercial building, do I have to ask them for permission to add a fence just like this video? Or is this something I can built without asking them. Thank you in advance!
Love it brother
Glad to hear it

Nice job. Overlap boards would have looked nice tho. Still great work,.
That's awesome
Appears to be the Valley, and we have an identical back fence. What would you charge to do this for someone who isn't your exwife?
This is great, is there a way the wood panels can cover the concrete portion of the wall? Id so how?
Looks great, but did you consider PVC instead of wood for longevity and less maintenance?
Great video. Thank you for posting it. I have a question: What type of nails do I use for the nail gun?
I no longer use nails. I prefer screws, but if you're going to use nails, use galvanized of course and 16 gauge at least. If you can find a nail gun that shoots ring shank nails, that would be better. Thanks for watching.
A beauty sir.

Great video ...do you have any video for a block wall but for the front...thx
Great work! The top of my block wall is curved. How can I tackle that?
I love your work! I was wondering... Would this work the same on a rock wall? Or would I need different anchors?

Nice! Question do they sell exterior nails for that nailing gun? And what are they called and size? Thanx!
Awesome info ! Thanks! I'm a beginner! What type of screws did you use ? I'm doing this !
