I feel so empowered by this video. No wasted words!! Direct and to the point. I can do this!! Thank you!!
Thank you for your this awesome video I know I can do it. I’m a firefighter on a budget and I can’t pay thousands for a fence
LMFAO 😅I’m a firefighter also. 🙏🏽In contract for a house and the fence needs to be replaced in this inflated economy! I know the feeling. Be safe and GOD bless.
Excellent workmanship.
Great Video with PostMaster system and the Gate building part LOVE IT! Thank You!
Is it cheaper than buying it already pre-made
Awesome!!! I’ve been searching for how to make fence and I found this video
👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent video.
Thanks for the detailed explanation and information.
holy shit, a perfectly concise and well executed instruction guide
Great video, very informative.
Nice job to the builders!
Interesting video. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Very interested! Like!
Just put my order in for 42 9’ post!! Exciting in its self!!!!!!!
where did you order from?
To reduce fence wobble/flexing, could you install every other post in opposite direction? Another tactic might be to install a double post every other post (or however often needed to stiffen it up).
Great video
How can you do 30degree turn with these post? I think I’ll have to use the steel poles with adjustable brackets 🤨
You attached the Top and Bottom Rails. If those gate-hinges are attached to those rails without cutting these ends. How could you swing the gate, if you did not cut the end of the gate-hinges?
Fantastic, this is what I have been waiting for. Makes so much sense. I can do thos
These look great... only wish I could find them anywhere in St Louis, MO... help me out!
Is there a longer more in death video on building this fence. For someone who isn't a pro. I have sooooo many questions
What's the price comparison to board on board 8 by 6 ft pre-made privacy fence is it cheaper this way if you do it yourself or is it cheaper just to get board on board 8 by 6 pre-made thank you can't wait to hear from you??
I had this idea about 6 years ago when we bought our house. I've been waiting for someone to invent them!
Can you used the postmaster post to build double driveway doors?
Thank YOU
My newest property has a 4 ft postmaster fence that I would like to extend to 6'. Does postmaster sell extensions like tubular steel posts offer? I assume the U would need to be narrower or wider at the attachment end than the original and bold on? Any help is appreciated.
P.s. the posts are set in concrete, My goal is to extend the post at a top rail and swap the pickets out to new 6' ers.
What if the gate is on the corner ? How would we attach it to the two postmasters which are back to back for the gate ?
Can you send your team to build one for me? I can't level on align spit !
the truss screws shown and the actual screws used in the video are two different screws. which one is used?
Can you use this with 6 x 8 ft wood panels with the posts turned 180 degrees facing the other way instead of the normal installation? This means the rails from the two separate panels will be butted together instead of against the post.
Yes
Can I use 1 post for the Gate Door or instead of 2 for the gate door
Do you have these for a three rail horse fence?
Where can you by these posts at?
This is exactly what I have been searching for.
Can an aluminum gate be attached to this
You'll need to coat the aluminum/steel contact surface. Aluminum will oxidize as it's a sacrificial metal when in contact with steel.
I used 38 post master posts for my fence they are awesome I didn’t set them in cement though I used secure set foam which was easier and faster
I hate to ask what 35 of these cost!
@@chriscrystalhood6260 Yeah, about 840.00 worth as they are about 24.00 each
Where can you get these for $24? Home Depot in Oregon sells them for $49!
From where ?!
@@NoahGlusenkampsame here in Virginia
Can you use typical premade fence panels with these?
How quickly are you supposed to be able to start adding the 2x4 stretchers after doing the concrete? Am I supposed to just use the string to make absolutely sure they stay in while the cement hardens?
If you use fast setting concrete it should me no time at all. But seeing as your comment was 11months ago, I'm sure you've already done the job.
Does that's gate install trick works well of a double gate setup????
So I use these all the time for customers who want a privacy fence they work great and are very easy to use. But I've never done a gate off them, i seen the video , so do I make 2 gate posts for the gate or just one gate post for a single opening ? Not understanding that part of the video please respond
Yeah there's no way to do a gate off of these alone. It looks like they're only good for straight lines...which they're pretty good at. But if you're like me, you need a gate somewhere in the middle of the run. So, I dont think it makes sense to have 8 of these and then have 2 4x4 wood posts in the same run just because you need a gate.
@@philkingmke i agree its more work more material for the way they show it, so what I do now is just get 2 regular tubular posts or 2 wooden 4x4s it saves money and time
Thanks
I am really considering this to replace my old rotten fence. My only concern is the sway of the post forward to back. I wonder if I did every 3rd or 4th doubled up like the gate post if it would help the front to back integrity of the fence.
I have a 21-year-old 6-ft postmaster fence and it doesn't sway at all by design, even in high wind. All posts are original and have survived hurricane level winds of around 120 mph on more than one occasion. My back fence is not attached to the side fences either and never has swayed or budged with it being the most exposed since I have open space behind my property. My rentals always have broken wooden posts that I replace with postmaster as necessary. Well worth the investment- do it, you won't be sorry.
P.s. every one of my neighbors that installed a traditional wooden post fence has had to replace it and still deals with entire fence sections blowing down. I have converted several to post master after them seeing I never deal with that and did it right the first time.
Btw, the posts were set in mixed concrete. Not a fan of dry setting or using dirt only. I also don't hang gates from them, I use 8x8 cedar.
If you can swing the extra expense get dimensional western red wood cedar 2x4s and install cedar 3/4" thick pickets. Mine is 21 years old this year and looks as good as new after pressure washing. I don't stain it.
@@allaboutroofing2
thanx. The part about dry-set vs. cement is the part l wanted to know about.
Some guys on YT say they're never going back to digging holes or cementing these in.
So, your way does seem to hold weight.
l got the best info. from your comment.
✌🏽
@@BlueOriginAire glad to help. Good luck. 👍
@@allaboutroofing2thanks for the comment, is there step by step instruction? I have never built fence I am attempting to diy
Thank you
Is it possible to do other angles or just 90?
How do I do a shadow box set up?
Don't these sway when you push on them? It sounds like they don't have the "feel" of a post fence because they move when you push on them?
@Leopold I completed a fence build last year with these posts. Love them. I got the beefier version, I don't recall the name? They also come in longer lengths. The fence will definitely move or sway if you push on it the same way a stop sign will with a lot of weight to hold up as these posts are very similar in construction to a metal stop sign post.. Recommend anchoring it along the way to perpendicular brick walls or other fences as I did. I will never go back to wood posts again.
Available in Pennsylvania ?
how much does it cost for a fence like that in the video
These legal in Florida one on each end of a 8 foot prefabricated shadow box PT fences from Home Depot? 70mph may not be enough. How much weaker than 4x4?
He stated in another video that they are much stronger than a 4x4
I like the video, however, the links for install instructions do not work.
My lot is composed of area with predominant rock with stems of clay. When digging post holes 24: may not be able to be achieved. If I choose the PostMaster 7 1/2 foot tall posts and I can not get the depth due to the rock/boulders, what is the best tool for cutting the metal posts?
You can use a sawzall with metal blade or a grinder.
Bandsaw is your best bet
Is there a part number for the postmaster plus corner post. It looks like angle iron with holes already punched. Home Depot is not familiar with the post.
Same here. I bought the posts today at Home Depot, but there were no corner brackets, nor did anyone there know about them...and not even on their webpage! It makes no sense. But my friend contacted PostMaster, and they said the brackets can be purchased directly through them.
The part number for the post clip is #633675 from Master Halco
Thanks for revealing the top secret as to the thickness of the steel. I searched the internet high and low trying to find the thickness. Could have gotten military secrets from the Russians with less effort.
I only have access to 8' postmaster fence posts locally and my locality in Ohio wants 38" holes dug for the fence posts. If I can only get 8' posts, what's the best way to float the post above 14" of concrete so that I have 72" of post above the ground for the 6' high fence?
Just stand board that are your desired height and attach them paralel to the posts on either side. Then attach your board to those. Better to have the weak point leveraged at the top than the base.
Thats how I am doing an 8 ft high fence using these with a 48" frost depth.
If one trims the post with a portable bandsaw(7:35), what blade TPI and SFPM is recommended?
@Master Halco , I purchase these post and need to figure out the best way to install them securely with corners and turns greater than 90 degrees. Some turns for example would be 120 degrees for a partial hexagon shape and some corner would be roughly 95-98 degrees. Please let me know what all options are available asap so I don't have to return all the posts for refund? I have called the local Master Halco office and they mentioned to terminate at the corners/turns as an option but that would leave a possible gap or issues later on. I would prefer to connect everything as one fence system.
You need to rip vertical strips to attach to either side of the post, typically a 2x2. If you wanted an angled corner i would rip these vertical pieces with your desired angle of the return run.
Published just 2 months ago and yet the link to download is dead? Hoping the instruction will fill in the many gaps in discrepencies in video, mainly gates.
Sorry the link didn't work for you earlier today, we double checked it and it appears to be working now. We will add that to our review list so it shouldn't happen again. Also here is the direct link for you as well.

I want to know how to mount these onto a concrete pony wall.
Where can I buy them from?
@Master Halco Please explain the gate building process a little better. This video shows the construction of two different gates - one single gate and one double gate - This makes the instructions difficult to follow. I am trying to build a single gate. The instructions say to attach rails to the posts and then cut them. Do we cut through the screws we used to attach the rails to the posts? Please help. Better instructions will help sell more posts.
Hi Evan,
Please check out our Gate Install instructions at the bottom of this page: postmasterfence.com/original-postmaster-install/
These aren't available for over 500 miles from Massachusetts.. Im almost crying right now. Where can I get these?
Hi Juan! Email us at contact@masterhalco.com and we'll see if we can find a retailer closer to you.
Thanks!
Can't find this product within 100 miles of the major city where I live. Bummed because I am building 350 feet of privacy fence.
I have to drive down to the Lowes in Pooler, GA. They sell them.
Cant buy them in my area
Can’t buy these anywhere
Cutting the top off the post eliminates the galvanizing. Depending on weather, you could have rust within a week.
They are putting a 2x6 on top. It won't be in direct weather. Over the years a wet board may transfer moisture into that but you won't see it and it will just rust the surface, not migrate down.
@@ryankennedy9414 I do a lot of work with steel. Raw, uncoated steel will rust even when not exposed to direct moisture. It will degrade and weaken. Unless it's Cor-Ten steel, which metallurgical properties want it to rust.
I am kinda curious what one could do to avoid that cutting. In addition to the rust issue, the equipment they used to do it strikes me as something an amateur shouldn't be using over their head like that.
Does anyone know how how much concrete is needed for a 8 foot postmaster post, assuming it's 2 feet in the ground?
80LB bag per post
Instruction link doesn’t work, please check
I can't find anyone who sells these. Home Depot used to, but no more.
Lowes has them - Item#: 267376 MFR#: 633666
The reason I like it because it might not be available here in Australia.
I have a 9ft fence I need to re-post and I'm interested in these steel posts. Problem is, I want to cement them in 4ft deep, below the frost line, but then I only have 5ft above ground to work with. Wondering if anyone has used the exposed 5ft of steel post as a foundation for building 9ft wood post? Basically extending the steel post with wood, or sandwich the steel post inside a custom 9ft hollow post or some such thing?
Per the video they have posts up to 12'. I would suggest (if you have the means) to go with the 12 so even after burying them 4' you have 8' to work with above ground. Not quite to 9' but might do the trick!
@@moderata86 Thanks!

Nails on a fence?
My local Lowes carries these for $26 each... and right next to it is a T-post for $4 each. Does this make any sense? Why are these so expensive?
You can't build a wood fence with t-posts. T-posts are for wire fences where these steel posts replace wood posts for a 6-8' wood privacy fence.
@@jessetreanor You actually can using a special t-post bracket. It may not be to code. I live in the tropics where humidity and bugs eat or rot out my 4x4 posts. Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/8WptsOWXOdY/v-deo.html
@@12vLife I mean a privacy fence. T-posts can't support the weight of 6' or taller wood privacy fences. That is a cool option for the 3 rail fence though.
@@jessetreanor I replaced a few rotted 4x4s in my coral filled sandy soil with impacted in 6' T-Post and IMO I dont think it's gonna a be a problem for a privacy fence. i had to remove one i put in as a test and what it took to remove it tells me it would have held much more up and resisted hurricane force winds.
Build 1 fence with the postmaster posts. I wasn’t really a fan. Fence looks great. And is super straight. It was still recommended to us to dig down and use concrete so that didn’t save time. Then when built the fence would shake bad. You shake 1 panel and 8 panels down would be shaking. I believe we will be sticking with 4x4 posts for now. Just seem much more sturdy.
Build the gate in line?!!!!!!!! No I have tried this a few times not because of the video just to try it as a thought and no it’s way faster to build it on the ground
What depth amd diameter for concrete?
In their other video entitled: Postmaster Plus Installation Video - Board on Board fence
It shows for both Corner & Gate Post = 30" deep and 10" wide at the bottom of the hole, 6" wide at the hole entry point. For Line Post = 24" deep and same 10" at bottom and 6" at entry of hole.
4:22 you can’t put screws in the end grain like that, can you?
it wont let me download english install instructions
Mary Tidwell The install instructions are located on their website: postmasterfence.com/installation/
The links to download are not working either or said I not have permission to download😟 What is going on?
15 year warranty. Big whoop. Cedar is going to get you more than that.
HOPE THEY ARE PAYING THOSE GUY'S GOOD, $$$$$$, THEY ARE GETTING IT DONE.
Looks quite STURDY , As I’m deciding which type of fence to use ...With THIS I’m concerned that there won’t be any run off for snow or rain .( I’m up here in Michigan).So I’ll be worried about the trim board splitting after a few seasons of winter weather. Perhaps someone can come up with a different material that won’t split rust or deteriorate . Something that holds up for at least as long as the rest of this fence
You could use composite to trim it out. Either use color matched material, or you could do a two tone pattern.
Hello can I use this in a horizontal fence?
ua-cam.com/video/jg7IrvublpM/v-deo.html
1x6 as he uses a 1x4? What?!!!
Not sold at Home Depot or Lowe’s anymore. Tried setting up an account but these guys just aren’t interested.
I just bought posts at home Depot, but having a hard time finding the corner clips
@@chrish236 I tried to special order at the Pro Counter and was told they didn't carry them anymore. Do you still have asku?
Can u use this post to make a similar board on board but one where the fence looks the same on both sides. I can’t put the ugly side on the neighbors yard but I don’t want it on my side either.
Fk that you spend all that money shit the good side is facing me ok
I would build my fence from these if they were sold anywhere near me. Looks like I'm using chain link poles instead
PostMaster posts can be purchased at many Lowes stores. If they do not have them in stock they can special order them for you at the contractors desk in every store. Contact us at masterhalco.com if you need any more help finding them.
Home Depot ,
@@MasterHalcoFencing I've contacted home depot and Lowes, neither of them could find the L bracket in the corners for the 2x4 rails.
@@MasterHalcoFencing do you know if they are available in Canada???
I live in California is this technology here
Home Depot has these posts
Home Depot for $50 a piece
What is not told is that each post costs upwards of $30... EACH.
How does the price compared to a normal wood post fence?
You don’t want to know lol.
The real downside to this style is one side looks significantly better than the other. How do I get the 3 neighbors to keep the ugly side!
Keep the nice side.
That's actually the beauty of using the PostMaster post, no one has to have the "ugly" side- the steel posts are easily covered with one piece of wood and all sides look great!
Can the posts be set with a slide hammer like a "T" post for barbed wire?? Why not? Concrete is to replace undisturbed soil and not for stability. Driving the post with a slide hammer does not require a hole and therefore no need for concrete. Would save a LOT of labor.
Re-watch the video, they address it at the beginning.
Do you really need the loud background music?
So what you are telling me....I have to hire a contractor, because I'm not capable of digging 2 feet hole 6inch diameter...what the hell...and you actually expect people buying it?
Also 2x2 as he uses a 1x1?!!!!
70mph rating is not good for Louisiana. Heck we can have thunderstorms with winds that much not to mention our hurricanes.
Found them on Amazon for $84.00 plus $12.00 Shipping each!
if you live near a home depot they're only less than $30
They're $27.99 at Home Depot per single post in store or online. You seriously got ripped off!
Holyshit, I have to get a second mortgage just for the posts. That's nut
How much is a reg wood post at home depot tho?
@@stevenpham1961 Same price, if not more.
4:30 you never even showed the damn corner!
It seemed good till nail guns were used. When pickets need replacing you have to hope the nail head didn't break and you can remove nail. Using screws solves that problem.
NEVER use galvanized nails on cedar! Stainless ringshank nails are the correct nails, unless you enjoy black streaks running down your pickets at every single nail hole.
oh goddd... phillips screws.. ewww
That’s not a fence that’s a wall be careful you’re going to get the Democrats knocking on your door.lol
Not necessary...and with the last name Gonzalez you should be thrilled that the Dems don’t want a wall

No single word about installing on slopes . Too bad you can only build on a flat surface ....
Hey Mark, actually we do have alot of clients who do build on slopes using PostMaster. Rails: goo.gl/7rCoqt Complete fence: goo.gl/7X7YRv
Re : slopes... Do you use any bracket for rails or cut 2x4 at the angle to fit your posts ?...that is Master Halco posts ! It would be a good idea to post video on you tube with that kind of installation for a purpose of a better marketing !
You would need to cut the 2x4 at an angle to fit flush with side of the post. If the angle cut would leave a limited amount of wood for attachment we suggest using a corner clip and bending it to support the the 2x4.
We are actually working on getting video made showing a slope install, we will let you know when its ready.
Thank you for your response !
My opinion only, both sides of my house are the small slope. I would level the rails, but not the pickets which are paralleled to the ground. You almost cannot make 100% perfect because the ground is not flat.
Overpriced
Nails? Trimming posts? No good
Yikes poor instructional video for putting up a fence
