What does a installation like this cost roughly? Thanks.
This has to be the best advertisement for a product and a company that I have ever seen. Watched the whole 20mins and I'm a dude in germany who is renting a flat :D
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am impressed with your installation and technique. I am curious as to why you didn't put a full section of fence over the tree trunk and then the short section up against the neighbor's fence so the short section isn't in the middle of the fence. You could have placed the posts of that section, straddling the tree trunk, then worked out from each side of the fence.
I am curious about your thoughts.
Also, is this fence a product that is sold nationwide? Is it a franchise? Fence installers of this product in Maryland?
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
The neighbors fence looks nice.
Man I wish where I lived was that sweet of earth to did I’m a north east fence guy near the cost and it’s hit or miss
What fence is that?
Great looking fence! what part(s) of the country do you guys install fencing?
Wyoming & NE Florida
No-dig is the way to go. Way easier. Nice job guys.
@@SWiFence I see you do work in Florida. I'm in ocala and had a fence guy tell me no dig fencing is bad in Florida because we have a lot of roots in the ground. Is that true? Kinda doesn't make sense to me because a) I feel like you will encounter roots in most states and cities and b) you'll encounter roots even when you dig for cement posts. What are your thoughts on his response?
If all contractors were at your level of ability, attention to detail, and ease of working with, life would be grand! Super impressive all the way around
Where do we buy the panels? I only see the posts on your site
I would sharpen the I beams - they cut the roots that way. At lest it works for pipe. We do 8 foot chainlink with a pnumatic post pouinder and only use 2 3/8 for line posts and 3 inchs for corners and small gates. We use 12 foot posts 4 foot in the ground. Overkill yep. But we like it that way.
I love all of the little tips/techniques that you talk us through! I'm gonna be skeptical about the drill bit thing until I go try it :P
I understand. 🤣
So all this time I could have adjusted the gates to be racked 🤯 just with a strap
Proceed with caution. Too far and you'll break the welds.
These guys are true professionals. I would hire these guys any day of the week. Awesome job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Aw shucks!
No dig fence…starts out with a machine and a post hole digger.
Well, the title isn't No-Work Aluminum Fence. 🤣 It's got to go in the ground somehow.
And maybe you'll like this title better? "No Dig Fence Except If You Are Setting A Post Next To Another Fence Which Is Already Set In Concrete So You May Have To Dig Down To Make Sure You Are Ok Since You Obviously Don't Want To Drive Your Post Into Existing Concrete" Hmmm, doesn't seem as catchy though... 😉
The reason you didn’t know that about drill chucks is because it isn’t true. There isn’t a tightening system that requires loosening to tighten.
Those i-beam no dig inserts are SWEET!!! Havin' several guys out workin' together to install a quality fence brings back good memories of my pre sub contracting days.👍👍
clay aint gonna be satisfied until he has to wear a patch or walking cane after removal of his eyeballs
🤣
Its nice to see the owners actually out there getting they're hands dirty and not just sub-ing all the work out. I can watch these videos all day. Great job guys👍.
I want Mark to come supervise my job...
No-dig fence, step one: dig a hole. 🤣 End-product looks great!
When we have existing concrete interfering with the post, yes. 🙄
Awesome product! I saw a thumb nail for it last week but didn't watch...Great system! Good health and success to you and the crew... As a general contractor in the philly area I've done thousands of feet of fence over the last 35 years...Digging was always the worst part...:)
That’s what I was dreading about attempting to do the fencing myself.
Hi boss
My dog can just crawl under certain areas. What do you do there?
The you choose to follow the contour of the ground more closely, realizing it's going to affect the look of the top of the fence.
Can’t even explain how thankful I am for you and your crew taking the time to do these videos. Both here and your other channel. The amount of knowledge you are willing to share is incredible.
Thank you so much for that encouragement!
So this almost looks as labor intensive as a regular fence with cemented posts. Trying to figure out if I'll save any money in labor if I go this route.
You can install this method with one or two people. We were training our teams this day so we needed everyone there.
How do these do in Hurricanes?
Homeowner here. The product link in the description is for I-beams and L-beams. Does this mean I buy SWI's beams and install regular 2x2 metal posts from other manufacturers over them? So the beams are compatible with any 2" or 2.5" alum fence systems? Thanks!
no doubt others have said it, and your man said it too and I agree! Eye protection is worthwhile. All it takes is a tiny sliver, fastener ricochet, a blade shatter, or some other totally bizarre thing, and you're off of stereoscopic vision for life. Get some cool protective shades and be safe, ya'll. (I've had some weird close calls and was glad for the gear)
Ok so I work For Maritime Fence, in Nova Scotia Canada all of us worked for Eastern Fence one of the oldest Fencing companies in all of North America. Now that Vinci bought us we are literally the biggest fencing company around if you do your home work they are 3rd biggest construction company world wide. Our salesmen would have let the customer know before hand he couldn't have a straight fence with out giving him he's options before hand they don't sell a pig in a poke we do jobs world wide Prisons/Airports/militarybases US/Canada/Jamaica to Japan Highways Guardrails etc we do it all. We don't have easy pounding ground gas pounders, like what you use are useless here we use Rhino with air compressors plus air drills some times we have to bring out the big guns with a skid steer and the down hold hammer drill when auger doesn't work. I might be wrong but from the videos I'd say your about 5ft9 or under I'm 6" 240lbs and I'm telling you, You couldn't budge our Iron Eagle. How you say the material comes with extra material we like that so we can weld galvy pipes threw it from waste so we can pound them in put some quickcrete down the hatch, You will not budge our iron eagles in my area we stay away from aluminum as the base since it's weak in extremely cold conditions. IN nova scotia you don't hit post Post hit you.
I'm from Nova Scotia (Halifax). I was literally wondering if this was possible here...... Is it?
$100 says Clay still isn't wearing safety glasses🤣
😬😬
Your company Would do great in the northeast up here.
In our place aluminum fence will be stolen... need another fence to protect metal fence
😮
Might want to consider moving.😅
I sense you should move too
Lol that’s funny.
Who pays for a fence where critters can walk underneath the bottom of the fence... 😂
Impressive!!! No Dig Fence is the future!!!
What about the common situation where the soil has stones through it over the whole property ?
What is the longevity of the posts in the ground? What sort of corrosion do they see over time in earth? I am thinking about installing vertical solar panels like a fence.
Solid work lads, I’m a fence installer in Auckland, New Zealand, so cool to see how others install panels, keep up the good work 🙌
Hey thanks!
I believe the torque test channel was one that did the back off one click testing or investigation but I don't remember the results. I don't remember any manufacturer admitting to that being a feature in their literature. It might be just one of those fake life hacks.
I am glad y'all talked about the need for safety glasses! 👍
Heatwave makes z87+ glasses I have a pair that are polarized and one that I'd transition.
How can I get a fence like this installed in Cleveland, Ohio?
A fence should never be flat or level all the wat across. Basic rule. A fence should follow contour of.ground.
YES PROFESSIONALS..NO DIY....😢😢😢DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELVES 😮😮😮
No dig but first thing u do is dig
Do you like this title better? "No Dig Fence Except If You Are Setting A Post Next To Another Fence Which Is Already Set In Concrete So You May Have To Dig Down To Make Sure You Are Ok Since You Obviously Don't Want To Drive Your Post Into Existing Concrete"
beautiful job, well done all the way from a across the pond.
Thanks for sharing all of your expertise. Now I will be informed when I have my fence installed.
Would this work with an area that is very rocky
Why is the bottom of the fence not touching the ground...all critters welcomed 😅
You might have missed it--he's re-grading the slope of the yard.
How many days did it take you to do 17 panels and 2 Gates? How many guys have you got on there? Two-man job 2 days I could have dug them holes, would have been just as quick& floated that fence straight across 😅
Of course you could have. You're God's gift to the fence world. We were just talking about your legendary fencing accomplishments this morning. Seriously, we were training our crew on this job. Crews are normally two people. It's worth taking a little time to make sure everybody gets it so we can continue turning out quality work on future jobs.
Like it very professional work keep up the good work was thinking of add a fence my in front of the home and I was going to dig(not) anymore I have a gasoline post stricker and you all gave me a good idea thanks Rudy G.
I for one, really dig the no dig fence.
I dig that you dig the no dig.
Would you recommended the swivel brackets for slight inclines in landscape or would inserting the panels into the posts work the same?
As long as your panels are rackable there's no need to use brackets. It's very important to make sure your panels can rack to the slope desired--if they don't rack even brackets won't help you.
The chuck thing is not real! Every manufacturer questioned
has already denied it or were clueless to the question lol. Beautiful fence though! :P
The chuck thing??
That is a really nice fence system and it’s awesome seeing your team grow and work very well together. Have a great dang day
Thanks Devine!
that was a 4’ fNc(I heard you say in “s).. I was just watng for at the very end, his dog to jump over it to leave.. while some unwanted other dog jump over it to visit - I’d guess 5’ minimum, depends on dog, & if there’s anywhere raisd to jump from. NEwA, 🤔 hmnn, sUper Ql✋
He shouldmt habe to cut away from you. Adapt. Turn your bacm towards him. Also never pour water into your eyes. That water is filthy and will.give you pink eye. Next time go to truck without blinking and use side mirror. You will see debris on eyeball, just use finger and dab it off. Dont rub.
All these UA-cam fence pros, come build a fence in the Rocky Mountains. Anyone can do it in nice dirt 😂
You must be new to the channel. Most of our videos are done in Wyoming.

The big problem with a no dig fence is that over time the fence will lean terribly. biggest eye sore entire neighborhood!!!!!
While I'm certain that would be true for a poorly installed fence, that's simply an incorrect assumption.
アメリカはやっぱり凄い！常に効率を求めてイノベーションが生まれる！最後のドアを調整する所は日本人には絶対真似出来ないでね！素晴らしい！！！
あなたの言葉はとても優しいです。
I imagine this is a lot cheaper. Idk, but it wouldn’t surprise me if aluminum was cheaper than cypress or pressure treated posts. I’m curious how much cheaper though, like maybe 30-40%??
I was today years old too. 😑 I'm sorry Mr DeWalt for the things I've said about your mom.
😂🤣
It is kind of like the contractor who swore up and down that it was a brilliant Idea to not put rebar in the concrete. There is a con man born every minute
Maybe the real con is convincing skeptics that they've already learned everything worth knowing. 🙂
I do barb-wire fence and goat wire for a living and we still hand drive our T-posts when we have a hydraulic hammer for our 6in round wood posts, your weed whacker post driver tripped me out
I've watched several videos, it's better than watching TV . I'm in the trades so watching is like watching golf Chanel, so to speak. I would drop the B roll but that's my 2 cents get job on the rest of the post production.
do you have one guy just film all day or off and on throughout the day?
He's generally there for a whole project but he's not shooting the whole time or he ends up with way too much footage.
Nice. But why use a string for heights? We use a laser so we can measure the height difference. The highest point is the tree, so we put a laser on the highest point and then measure the difference where we want to start with our first post. Then we add the difference to the post where we want to start. Litteraly we mark our fence panel from top to bottom on the post, witht the extra height we measured .Let the mark come down on the ground and you’re done. Add a inch or so to go over the tree just a inch etc.
That’s how i work in dutch fencing industry. Pretty funny adapters you use there to slide over the main post. We use none of that though here. Plus its better to always set a endpost to sight the posts in line while pounding them in. When you and your co worker get a nice feeling with it you will be a human machine! Nice video and keep it up!
Do you adjust your laser for jobs that are not level?
@@wileyearly7051 No we place it in the middle of our working area and then we measure the height differences. We use a measure stick with the reciever of the laser on it. Then we put it on the ground where we wanna start and measure the whole line of where the fence needs to be placed. At the starting point we level the reciever of the laser on 0. Then for example 10 meters further i place the stick with reciever and see that i have to lower the reciever on the stick to get to the 0 point we measured at the beginning. This means this point is higher because i have to lower the reciever. When the reciever must get slided up on the stick, the ground there is lower. Its a reversed world but perfect to measure height differences.
String don’t lie or require batteries or care if it gets rained on and very good for visual for customers along with not trying to see a laser in daylight or have laser end up In a passing car 🤙
I learned the drill chuck 'trick' a few months ago, but it doesn't seem to make a difference with my drill. It does click, but I'll still randomly have it loosen up. It's an M18 hammer drill, so it's not a low end drill.
The drill chuck 'trick' is backwards - you should hand tighten it over that click, not back it off one.
Spin it tight with the drill, back it off by hand and re-righten by hand. It will go a couple clicks more. It's just like tightening a set screw: snug it, back it off, and re-tighten to set it and it'll go a quarter turn more the second time.
My NC soil would laugh you off the job... Hilarious
Maybe. Maybe not. We drive posts often in Wyoming as well. Not in the rocky spots, obviously, but you can still drive in hard clay.
This is quite amazing. I lived on a ranch for the first part of my life and built many types of fences. Is this available in Canada and if so where could I get it.
Wonder if I could do that system in Arizona. Ground is to hard I'm guessing.
That view though 😮
Right?!
I DIG-IT!!!
This guy sounds like Ross from vlog creations
lots of little details to get it right & looking sharp...but in the end i would say its definitely details worth noting & practicing
Looks great man if i could afford you guys or that fence i wouldn't think twice.
Do you sell fences also or just I-beams?
We sell the fences as well. The shop can help you with any questions you have. (904) 274-4116
It will sink in a few years
Concrwte base at every post
If this is going to sink in a few years I should've been able to push these in by hand. It's rock-solid.
This is faster?!?
We were taking time to teach the team how it works, but yes, it is. You can also bang it out with one or two people.
Are you in Jersey? I need a fence installed like this!
I enjoyed watching your video. Do you have any suggestions for the Charlotte, NC area? I went to link and see the posts, but what panels do you use? We want 6' tall aluminum fence. Thank you!
Give the shop a call and they can give you some direciton. (904) 502-4361
Nice! How much did it cost the homeowner?
So sweet. Can't do this in Arkansas :(
Bravo! Looks great!
Loved the Vid !
I am a Northeastern US newbie at this. 🤥😒🙄
I went to the page and found all the parts sold separately. Is there anywhere , I can get a price by panel (height x length) all parts included. Also can you recommend any Southern New England Contractors experienced with this product vs Diy-ers ? Thx !
Not sure how we're splitting out all those details in the store but give the shop a call during the week--they can get you taken care of. 307.578.8040
HAXMAN SENT ME AND I USED TO WORK AT AMERISTAR FENCE!
Well done! That was an informative video and interesting to watch. Definitely learned a lot about this type of fencing and installation process.
Glad it was helpful!
This fence doesn't come up in the link
Great way to build a fence. Thank you very much for the video. Can someone please point me in the right direction as far as pounders go? There are so many different ones for sale and rent. How powerful does it need to be? We're in NJ, wooded area, in my opinion favorable soil for this type of fencing. Any thoughts? Thanks!
We have a decent # of videos featuring various pounders, including the Rhino, the US Hammer, and the Redi Driver. Among these, the Rhino is the most commonly used.
You can also check out the ones we believe in on our store: www.swifence.com/tools-equipment/pounders/?sort=popular&brand=0&max=8500
Just wondering, if you’re cutting off 6”, can’t you just put them 6” deeper in the ground?
Nice job tho. Good looking fence.
Yes, for sure. 👍🏻 We were trimming the tops on a few because we were dealing with tree roots and it was deep enough to be structurally sound.
Keep a earth magnet handy and place it around your eye, it will pull the metal from your eye. "Don't ask me how I know LOL!!!"
😳
Absolutely the best installation I have ever seen. But what's better is your eye, your attention to detail and knowing how dumb a fence looks when it dips down. We are in Maryland and am looking for a fence installation. I don't know who to trust. I know what I want. Just do it right. This is absolute brilliance. God Bless you and I wish you much success.
For a nodig fence your doing alot of digging
Really, Joe? You see us digging a hole and pouring concrete for every fence post?
Maybe this title works better: "No-Dig-Aluminum-Fence-Unless-You're-Right-Next-To-A-Previously-Set-Fence-Post-And-Need-To-Check-Existing-Concrete-Before-You-Proceed"
You know, now that I look at it, it IS much catchier. 😉😆
I'm moving to Florida and sending a resum
Hey brother I'm new to the field of subcontractor, and i got a job to install fance and I love this I wanna make sure the home owner is happy about the job. Now I would purchase Panels and gates ,post , where is this store location are would you help me guide me through purchasing all the materials,
We can chat through what you're needing. Feel free to call the shop: (904) 502-4361
Just ordered this system. I plan on ordering the fence in June. Not sure if I should install the posts before I actually have the fence on hand.
You totally can, because measuring is measuring--but if I were you I'd probably get it all together first. You never know what other interruptions life has planned for you.
What was the name of this fence?
The I-Fence system: shopifence.com/
Beautiful work.
Thanks!
What posts are you driving? I've been driving 1 7/8" for vinyl, postmasters, and rounds for ag fence but haven't ever driven for steel or aluminum.
Our own! 👍🏻 bit.ly/SWINoDigAluminumSystem
When that white fence is on the piss in a few years you will know why, I would just screw to that white post instead of removing other fences footing
Why not take issue with the fact that that post only had 6 inches of concrete on it? If you’re concerned with what I did to that post and you don’t want to talk about the fact that the post wasn’t sent properly in the first place, will never have a productive conversation. That post had problems from the day it was installed. What I did will not affect its longevity or performance whatsoever.
austin is on limestone, you cant dig 6" without hitting 3-10' of rock
Sounds fun.
Can we please stop pretending that an aluminum fence is little more than a visual barrier. I’ve been putting in fences for 25 years. This should be a crime and what we’re selling to people.
It keeps kids and large animals out of your yard. Wtf are you talking about. People know what they are getting
Dude what are you talking about? This type of fencing is perfect for the front yard, to keep kids and animals in and people out, without blocking the view. If I had a privacy fence in the front, it would make it difficult for my neighbors and myself to get out of our driveways. It would block the line of sight for everyone so having a fence like this is perfect. Private fences are for the backyard. Metal fences are for the front yard.
Visual barrier? What are you smoking? Crack? These offer zero visual privacy. On the other hand they DO keep out people.
Nah it depends on height
This type we use in suburban homes in el paso so that u can see thru but keep people out it's impossible to jump one let alone not be impaled
Why wouldn’t you use a base piece that you simply inserted the aluminium post into?
You mean like a sleeve set in concrete or something? I don't understand the advantage.
