Hello and welcome, I’m Carl the landscape guy. Today we will install a wooden basket weave fence as a privacy screen. To start off, we have to install a foundation with a H-anchor post base and a fence post. On the other side, the wood fence is fixed to the wall. I use oil chalk and mark the foundation's position from the wall. The length for this fence element is 1.80 meters. I add 1 cm on each side for mounting. Now I mark the approximate location for the foundation with chalk on the pavers. The post base will be set into the concrete foundation. With the help of two screwdrivers, I take out the first paver. This can be a bit difficult. But then the other pavers come out relatively easily. I open an area of about ​​50 x 50 cm in the pavement. I start digging the hole for the foundation with a flat shovel. The hole will be 25 x 25 cm and I plan on making it about 70 cm deep. It makes sense to deepen the hole with a spade. I smoothen the sides and make sure no loose material remains in the hole. Once the hole has been excavated, the foundation concrete can be mixed. I use this ready mixed concrete where only water must be added. Now I’m putting the concrete into the hole. If you have a few chunks of old building rubble you can use this and save a few shovelfuls. I now use a hand compactor. Compacting is very important because only then does the foundation receive the necessary strength. We still need a little more concrete because the H-anchor sits too deep. The post is supposed to be above the pavement level. So I add a little bit and then put the H-anchor back in. Here it is important not to pour too much concrete. I keep the concrete level lower than the paving stones. Make sure to check the alignment and distances again. If the foundation gets a little dry, it makes sense to add some water. Don't put too much because you don't want to flush away the concrete. The water also makes the concrete stick to the achor properly. So our foundation is all set and now has to harden. The concrete is fully cured after 28 days, but we can put our fence up after 24 hours. If you do not want to wait, you can also use the more expensive quick-setting concrete. That stuff hardens in a couple hours and you can mount your fence on the same day. I pass the time by painting the fence. In this case, I want the fence to match the anthracite roof color of the house. I use a wood preservation glaze in the color "ebony". The post is also treated with the same color. This stuff makes the wood last much longer. Re-moistening the concrete the next day helps the curing process to proceed. However, it’s hard enough so that we can put the pavers back in place. I make sure that no joint material remains on the pavers. If you leave them dirty you might not get them back in properly. Two pavers have to be cut. I mark the spots and use a disc grinder. A rubber hammer can be used to get rid of small height differences. I use clean sand to fill the joints. With a broom and some water, filling the joints is done quickly and properly. You can also use very dry joint sand to push the sand into the joints, but then you have to repeat that process a few times. Now I put the fence post in the H anchor and hold it in place with a clamp. That makes it easy to align it.

Very well done, Carl! It's allways a good idea to visite your chanel! Thanks for your inspiration and tips!

I wish our soil was that easy to dig. Yours looks mostly sand. We have a gumbo clay that if dry is like digging through concrete and if wet, it sticks to the shovel / post hole digger and won't come off. Where do you live?

Try a powdered Augur
a two man machine is Preverbiale.

@@derekmulready1523 -- When I had a lot of holes to dig, I rented one of the trailer mounted hydraulic powered augers. Still had to dig the corner ones by hand in order to set secure endpoints so that I could run a tight line to position the rest of them. Those 3 corner ones really made me appreciate the hydraulic powered one for the rest of them, but sometimes I would hit chucks of concrete that the builder had just dumped there as fill and it would mess things up a bit. On the family ranch where I grew up, we had a power auger that hooked to the PTO on the tractor. That was a LOT easier to dig the holes with and I dug a LOT of holes with it over the years.
