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
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👍.
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.👍👍
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...:)
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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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)
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 !
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!
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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%??
@@SWiFence . I saw after I commented the link in the description. What can I say, I’m a dumbass. LOL. Your prices are decent but shipping might kill me. Says you were sold old too.
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.
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.
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!
@@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 🤙
@@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?

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.
Fantastic love it need one of those post drivers
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.
lots of little details to get it right & looking sharp...but in the end i would say its definitely details worth noting & practicing
Would this work with an area that is very rocky
What about the common situation where the soil has stones through it over the whole property ?
Are you located? How can I find someone in the high desert, CA?
will it work in areas where the ground freezes to ice in the winter?
You've got to set below frost line, but yes.

Nice job however I always do my ground level lower to prevent critters from crawling beneath the fence
the customer wanted it like that. He's going to fill it in.
I mean, it is an ornamental fence. You can fit a lot of critters through those gaps.
What fence is that?
Bravo! Looks great!
Wonder if I could do that system in Arizona. Ground is to hard I'm guessing.
What adapter are you using in the Rhino driver? Is it the same adapter for the line and corner posts? Thank you
We just leave the post master chuck on and drive everything with that. 2 1/2"
Thanks for the info
So sweet. Can't do this in Arkansas :(
What would you do when there’s a lot of big stone in the soil with bedrock underneath it?
