My father was just like you, he could build anything. He, by himself, built a 2000 sq.ft. home on Lake Huron... I am Blessed he left it to me. I wish I had his talent and brilliance, but I am doing my best to keep his beautiful home up to par. ❤❤
That’s awesome. He’s proud of you
I’ve been seeing a lot of people do this project themselves. You’re the only person I trust to actually teach us how to do this the right way. Thank you
Tall walls make good neighbors
Need"um on our Southern border.
tall houses look right over the top
@@pedraw But democrats don't like walls. So he must not be one.
Make one of the slits at the homeowner’s eye height so he/she can see out the fence with out having to stand on tippy toes or have to crouch down.
And like a good neighbor,
Stay over there
I've been looking at this product for 2 years it feels.... I cant wait to start my install under your guidance. Im glad you approve! This stuff looks just toooooo right!
After watching this video I got an Ad from that company and saw that they sell hanging accessories like shelves and planter boxes that you can install like it's a peg board. That's pretty neat. Looks great!
I like the way it was done. Gap on the bottom for us who deal with snow. Air flow more on the lower area and double boards to kind of cover the faces more of the people standing on the deck for noise reduction and privacy. I like it. You are good at this.
Your issue with the height of the top board being too tall was because the system is designed that you do not need a spacer below your first board. It is built in to the columns so that it keeps the bottom board elevated already. But overall, good looking system and easy install!!
That is exactly what I was thinking as the gap on bottom looked to big compared to all the rest.
Thanks!
33:14 - For my aesthetic preference: If doubling up some boards, I would have done the doubled up boards with no spacer near the bottom then a spacer between every board near the top. I’d prefer the aesthetic of having the extra thickness near the bottom and a “lighter” look at the top. Even better would have been to rip the bottom board lengthwise so that then it was a space between every board with only the bottom board being narrower. Either way, those are aesthetic preferences.
OMG! I’ve been wanting to do a fence like the Hoft fence, and Lowes is close to my house! I need to replace an old pine panel/picket fence and this will look amazing. I hope Hoft can comp you for the promoting it!
OMG. This was perfect. Just ordered these parts and got my fence around my propane tank up in less than 2 hours. Got friends with power tools to drill holes into rock surround. Thanks SO much for the video.
I used this system last year building my first fence and I loved it! Can attest that it survived the winter in good shape too. I think it's worth every extra penny to save time and get consistent results especially if you don't have advanced skills.
Well said. I think it is worth the time savings for sure. the most expensive part of any build.
You do things logically even when doing serious projects. Sorry for not subscribing earlier, I built my first deck watching your videos despite my father being a contractor! Best thing I've added onto that house honestly!
Thank you so much for the amazing videos. They have really been helpful in the renovation that I am in the middle of.
The finger guid is a great tip! The privacy fence looks super high-end! Thanks for another great video Jeff!!
Dean the Furniture Artist
You've got amazing "if she doesn't find your handsome. She better find you handy!" Vibes with how you speak. I love it. I miss the red green show lol. That fence set up is pretty slick looking.
amazing work like always. In this situation, I would measure and ripe the board so it lines up, and place that ripped board at the bottom, so everything would line up at the top. But what you did works fine. Nice job.
I enjoy watching your videos, because I always learn some great tips.
Great job. I love the safety glasses :)
Came out great. Many ways to do the spacing. Cheers!
I loved Jeff’s video about tools and what we need. I have an old house with a barn that’s filled with tools. I like to test them out. I’ll be thinning out my heard that will help me pay for my renovation.😂
Awesome content . “ Better late than never “ you help me understand visually and by demonstration. You’re entertaining. Best University of contemporary D.Y.I.
Cheers!
Amazing teachings! Love the videos
Great idea for a privacy fence. Thanks.
I love how relaxing these vids can get
Because of this video, I'm going with this for my privacy wall. Great vid!
Done! Super easy!
I think double at the bottom and single at top would look better. gives a more large on bottom to small on top aesthetic that most buildings go with. Such as roofs being pointed, top finish pieces going big to small ect. When on the deck, will probably be sitting most of the time relaxing. more privacy coverage this way too. Either way it came out pretty nice and way too easy lol. Good job on finished product.
Jeff, I was glad to see I am not the only one using my drill or driver's battery as a hammer.
they don't last forever anyway.
I do it with my power stack....kaboom!
Very nice fence 🥰 I would love to see how that patio furniture was made 🥰
I found the video 🤩
After watchin this several times I can say with absolute confidence that this is not, in fact, a hair styling video.
LOL, what hair!
Very helpful information. Thanks
I think I would have ripped the top board to the right height for the cap, then take it apart and use it as the bottom starter board. Rip all of the bottom boards the same. Then you’ll have even spaces on all boards.
Yup. Came here to suggest that too. Jeff's solution is pretty elegant but more noticeable. More than one way to skin a cat!
Love your videos
I would like to be a homeowner with that fence! Great explanation of the skirting and the slotted board fencing! { was hoping to see how the BBQ got moved from beside the landing to the deck...but that's next week I guess.}
shivering black bell thumbs up!
we need to stain first. Cheers!
Thank you so much for helping us hang wallpaper in my dining room now I’m going to build and little privacy panel!!!!
Happy to help!
I think the gap is preference based on how much wind exposure you get and how much privacy is warranted. Me, I'd go spacer, 2 boards, spacer, 2 boards to make it work out in your favor.
Solution for your hight issue: Remove the top board. Measure the left over space. A) Just cut the left over piece to this dimension and use it as "extraordinary piece" B) if you dont want ot to be asymmetrical, cut two pieces that total with spacer equal to the gap size. Put one of the extraordinary piece to the bottom and the other to the top. You may even paint black to give a frame-ish look 😊
About the posts and staining, good video by the way. But since this is all new construction, wouldn’t it be easier/better to just stain everything first and then put up the posts and build the wall?
Put long planters on top, and let some nice vining plants trail down. It would look gorgeous.
this system actually comes with planter boxes and shelves and such
I was just looking at this system in the store and boom, there you are doing a demo! It looks good. I’d be playing around with the arrangement as well. Now what about a roof? Those houses tower over your privacy. Thanks for sharing. You are awesome!❤
Plan is for a gazebo. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY 👍
yeah i am not liking the NO privacy. This wouldn't be a place I would live..and I like a yard. The deck to me is too tall and big.
@@crazydoglady5 Same for me about the privacy. Not going to live in a place where the neighbours are looking down into my yard.
@@lou196t also a consideration is that if you have a raised deck built, not staring at your neighbor from above is also helpful for their privacy/awkwardness.
Curious how well these hold up against wind on those days it picks up...
Now thats a smart system. Fast and neat and the spacers with a nail on it keeping it together. Looks great.
And about the remembering of measurements........i know 😉 Write it down!
The next day you see youre measurment ont the wood and then you think........what side was it?
i work for a builder. we probably would have done the same thing. i like the pattern you created.
Damn good Reno Ninja Sir.
Ive beeen here since sub 20k subs. your backing screw method to not split the wood is something im taking to the grave.
Glad I'm not the only one using the £300 impact driver as a hammer!
I like that fence system. Looks very nice. If I counted correctly you have 3 double stacks and 6 single stacks per section. I would have gone 3 singles on bottom, 3 double stack in the middle, and 3 singles on the top for better privacy. From the angle of the neighbor's yard, they'll be seeing only ankles and tops of heads. Just my opinion.
I adore your videos. I've been looking for a way to do a privacy fence. And I have a Lowe's nearby. 👍
You can do it!
Your laugh when you realized it is as easy as you thought. Hilarious 😂
I didn't see the earlier videos. What are the base plates drilled into? I can imagine that the outer screws go into the the joists, but do the inner screws just go into the decking?
Your a beast!!!!!!
Is their anything you can't build?
Stay strong!!!
yet to build anything that flies! Cheers!
Big kisses, man. Love the videos
Genius!
Looks fantastic. I am just wondering, should you stain the wood before you put the privacy fence together or can you stain the wood after? Which would be best to do? I think I can do this one on my own, looks nice and easy, I love it!
On the ends that are not attached to the wall or a corner what keeps them sturdy. i live in a higher wind area with a lot of snow fall and want to keep as much integrity as possible. also curious if you have a suggestion on how to add a gate or opening.
In the video, you talk about the structural screws to hold in the aluminum pillars. You were going to show the package because you sent your son off to get more. I either didn't catch it in the video, or it's missing. What's the product info on the screws? Thanks! (Great video BTW, you're one of my favorite channels to watch).
Those backyard spaces are criminally small.
Thats large compared to the lower mainland of bc
@@samoday2992 thats insane. And I thought I had a small yard. These people are on top of each other.
Double space under the bottom board first so you have room to shovel the snow out!
Knowing that you had to double stack some, I think i would've been better to double stack then single stack on that privacy fence, in order to gain some "consistency" as you said. looks like you might have been able to double stack once at the bottom, once at the top, and once in the middle, providing a single stripe around the middle. 2 cents from someone who's opinion doesn't matter. Great video!
Any videos for using this system on the ground?
This is my next project, but on top of concrete for a much longer distance. How did your boards settle after time on 5ft centers for posts? Did they warp or bow out of alignment. I'm going with 6ft centers on posts and was wondering if I need a vertical board in the middle to keep the boards from warping or bowing. I wish I could go 8ft on centers but the product insists on 6ft.
if i substituted the aluminuim post for wooden posts what would be the best way to fasten them to the floor/garden?
The double board looks better. You should of done all double boards and spaced out the bottom bord a little higher to compensate for the lost spacer distance. Keep up the good videos!
Ive installed these before and for your fitment issue we used to rip the first board to make everything line up at the top.
My OCD says to put the double boards on the bottom, and then have the evenly spaced ones on the top. Just a balance thing...the appearance that the bottom is heavier than the top.
Can we use this system as a substitute for deck railings in Ontario? For decks higher than 2ft. Ive found conflicting information on horizontal railing. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated! Would love to use the 44inch deck rail system hoft offers for my railing but dont want the city to have an issue with it. Thanks!
That's a really good question. Perhaps if the posts are close enough then the boards would be rigid. It's odd as I've seen hoft promo photos showing elevated decks but there is a warning that these can't be used as railings above 24". I've emailed them and waiting to hear back
Did you put a block under the floor to bolt these posts to?
I used a track saw for closing in my raised deck...it was a breeze
Can those posts on bolts really handle wind sheer with a nearly solid privacy fence on them? I couldn't find a wind rating in the description.
Personally I would have kept single boards all the way to the top and just cut the final board abit slimmer.
That, or do double boards at the bottom, then single in the middle and double on top.
Cheers!
Which type of wood was used for the horizontal fence planks?
great job Jeff.. Although the way you did the top.. id' have changed.. you put 3 singles on bottom and 3 doubles on top. looks nice. but I THINK.. I would have gone with double on bottom , on top and in the middle i'd have done a double.. the rest inbetween i'd have done the singles.. ( IF it works )..
ok, because i'm cheap.. TELL me.. wouldn't it be cheaper to have bought 2x4's and used a router to cut a 5/8" hole down the middle to slide the boards into?? cuz that's what i'm thinking of doing? cheaper than buying the metal 2x4's.. I guess I could paint them powder black when done? JUST A THOUGHT?
What ‘s kind a long bit drill you used ? I saw you don’t need to drill a hole before you shot a nail inside the wood .
Trim the bottom board, so that every board at eye height it the same, and use spacers for every board.
Nice job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY cheers!
nice product. I'm wonding how this would hold up with strong wind or if someone were to lean against it.
That all depends on if you have a thick enough frame under the bords do all 5 screws are in the frame and not in the deck boards. Cheers. Been 8 months now and more than 1 party. So far so good
Do they make that screen system in different heights? I only need it to be 3’ tall
What screws were used for the posts?
for me, I really like privacy so I would have left out the spacers and went all the way to the top (board on board)..even if i had to rip one and put it at the bottom or top so it isnt as noticeable..
nice to have space for wind to blow through to reduce the risk of tearout. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I was going to agree with the top comment as that’s what I would prefer but your answer is more logic and last a long time😅 so like you said we have to sacrifice something, I think the pattern you done was great, brilliant work and explanation as always 👍🏻
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I am here in Texas and even though we do have some winds at times..we have board on board with NO gaps and do just fine. So unless it is blowing 45+ mph alot, I see no need to leave gaps.
Is it very wobbly? How do you think it will hold up in a wind storm?
A great product for someone who doesn't have any construction experience. ($116 for one, 6ft post and associated hardware).
i got this exact product around my land and your board will sink in those spacer a bit more than what you put them. With all the spacers and board dry i have about 1" from the last board to the very top of the cap. Youll see what i mean when you feel like your board are not lining up to the next. Its a good product and system but has flaws. Overall looks better than a normal fence but the price is higher at 150$ a post.
Can this system be used as stair rails?
I used the Home Depot version that I screwed the channels into a wooden post then added the deck boards. I was amazed at just how much those boards shrank. Did the gaps get even larger on these?
that is why you apply the stain. it seals the wood and helps prevent shrinkage. also good to let the wood dry out before install.
New camera? Production quality seems higher. Thanks
You have 2 story houses close and facing your deck. Privacy?
Would this be considered a code legal guardrail system for an upper level deck?
What were the size anchors that you used? I don't believe you referenced them again after having your co worker running to get more.
If you look at the reflection from the door, you can still see inside the privacy area. You need something there to block the reflection
What type of wood panels are those ?
I don’t like the double boards. I would have made 1 thinner board in the bottom, and make the spacing consistent.
"privacy" haha .........nice job and teaching like always
Someone mentioned no need for spacers on the bottom. Do a dry run, lay the boards on the ground with spacers and measure the height, adjust as needed.
I installed one of these and find the wind hits it pretty hard/creaks. Looking to install a new deck board below but worry this might persist. Anyone run into this issue?
I’d use it but can it go into the ground and not the deck.
I think I woulda ripped the excess off one, board and put it at the bottom. From 5’ish off the ground I think it would be barely noticeable, if at all. But I also live out in the middle of the woods, so I don’t worry about privacy…..cell signal is an issue, but privacy is not! 😂😂
is this your new house? Did ya'll sell the old farm house that you fixed up?
Did 3 last year. Key is to be level
A gust of wind comes thru and that's going down. I could see this being stronger with poured crete and lag bolts set.
I haven’t heard of anyone having this issue. I think those spacers let enough airflow through it won’t act like a sail.
Whats to.stop the boads from bowing out as the sun dries them out.
On the privacy fence, I would have double stacked the bottom and top and one in the middle. That way the 3 double stacks are not all at the top.
