I've glossed over a dozen DIY builds and all of them so far neglect to illustrate the most important step most people can't figure out. How did you lay out your string line to make it level and square? How did you determine how far away from the sidewalks, roads, utility easement, boundary? Never forget to have all utilities located first. I no each state and County has its own codes but they are closely related within reason. The string line layout is the most important step but nobody shares how its done.

You fitted those posts perfectly - they'll last so much longer than others I've seen fitted because of the way you've finished off the concrete above the ground level. PERFECT. Great finish to the rails and pickets too. Well done.

You are basically encapsulating your post in concrete. When your treated post shrinks- a gap forms around the post allowing moisture to build up around your post with no where to go due to the surrounding concrete. This could potentially rot out your post prematurely. One option might be to place washed gravel in the hole first- set your post and then fill with concrete around the sides to stabilize. Any moisture will then freely run through and out the bottom.

Placing the post on gravel is probably better, but that also allows moisture to wick up from the soil below. Either way, the wood will rot. So much better to use a metal post, but also more expensive.

It's definitely easier to use wooden posts, and having the concrete bottom and sloping the top helps, but I'd be afraid of rot still. Concrete still absorbs water and that can and will transfer to wood encased in concrete. I went with galvanized and painted steel posts when I built my fence. I also had to dig a bunch of holes, but I actually opted to buy a handheld auger, the kind with a small 2-cycle gas engine on top. I think I paid about $200 for it (used) and sold it after the project was done for at least $150, but I don't remember (it's been years). No doubt that rig used here was much easier to use ! lol My only regret is not going deeper for the post holes (I did 3 ft. deep holes) and not using kickboards (I think that's what they're called?) Basically, a 2x6 along the bottom/base of the fence, connected to the posts to help stabilize the posts and fence itself. I'm in North Texas where the soil is black clay, so the expansion and contraction can be a real pain in the ass, not only for fence posts but house foundations as well.

I had a shadow box fence at a previous house that didn't get treated for a few years and got some moss and other nasties on it. I ended up pressure washing it with deck wash and then used a Wagner sprayer to apply CWF straight from the 5 gallon bucket. There are much better sprayers these days, but that Wagner made quick work of it. I would go down one edge, then up the other, and then down the middle. I'd then do the back of the outside board and on to the next. I'm sure you'll figure out a rhythm. Cheers!

I agree, that would definitely help with noise abatement and look nice to boot. But I would warn you, though, about a problem we encountered in an old neighborhood I lived in. The development had a privacy fence around it and a nice hedge in front of the fence. But it turned out the pickets were too low to the ground and too close to the hedge, because they got wet (and stayed wet much of the time) and eventually rotted out on the bottoms. We ended up having to rip all the fencing out and have it totally redone - expensive! So, I'd make sure the hedge watering system is well drained and don't allow mulch or plants to touch the bottoms of the pickets. Even pressure-treated wood has its limits.

A very conscientious job. Well done. If I may offer a couple of additional tips. Using Bitumen sleeves that you heat shrink around the post necks will protect the posts from rotting at ground level. It’s the most likely failure point. Closing the grain on the top of the cut posts would be prudent. Maybe a timber cap, shaped lead or sealer. Additional treatment would have been best applied before erection, as you say a tricky job ahead!. A gravel/base board along the ground would have offered a consistent height guide for installing the Pickets to sit on and also provided a replaceable isolator keeping the bottoms of the Pickets away from damp ground. It’s easier to replace one horizontal board than multiple vertical ones. Also helps with sag as that is a lot of weight suspended on 3 cross rails. Maybe 4 rails next time🤷♂️ You’re spot on with your Auger experience and how best laid plans don’t always work out! Lucky you have such good ground. Well done, a fence to admire👌

I would have painted the buried bottom of the posts with creosote wood preservative for water/fungus protection. Also I read it is not good to put concrete at bottom end of wood posts because water will seep down and get trapped if post is totally encased with concrete. Put the post in first sitting on some gravel at bottom then pour your concrete in hole so the very bottom of post can drain any trapped water that would happen over time.

When running the string from one start post to the other, cut three identical pieces of wood about an inch thick so you can offset the string by an inch on each post. That way when you come to add the posts, you don't end up with your string slowly being pushed out. Use that third block you cut to use to put it in the right place.

I get why you would do it this way but on the flip side I measured up the height I wanted the top stringer on the first post and the last in the line. Ran a string line or a laser between those 2 points. Then double checked it at every post in the row to make sure that no pickets were going to touch the ground. The reason I like to do it this way is because my fence did not follow the grade of the land it follows a perfectly straight line and the top of the fence is perfectly straight from beginning to end. Only the gap between the bottom of the fence picket and ground chances.

I would suggest that you buy and bring the lumber on site at least two weeks, open it out for a day or two let it air dry. Then pre finish all the post and rails and a section of the pickets. That way you can install a section and all the post and rails. Then finish all the pickets that have been drying with a sprayer in one day both sides with the required coats, and install the next day.

Although, I did through a rectangular picture frame mold around the top, for aesthetics and to run off water, raised about 2 inches from grade. I used 4x6's though since this fence could be plowed against in winter, and possibly rot more. I'm glad I over-built it. It's still standing today. I also incorporated a 9 foot wide swinging gate. I ran a 2x4 diagonal from top of hinge post to bottom of neighbor. The gate was essential two stacked trusses made of 2x4 members, screws, and liquid nails. I use weight bearing latch/pins. I used stockade fence sections which were pre-made, except for the gate, which I added two sections to. When closed the gate looks virtually invisible. I love your videos. Great work.

Finding the wood in my area was not hard it was just way more expensive. As far as cost it is going to vary widely. Will say each section is made up of 22 pickets, 3 2x4 stringers and for calculation purposes 1 post (because the other is counted in the next section) If you use those numbers you can price out how much each section will cost you at your local wood prices. + cost of nails, screws and concrete.

I have digging envy. we are following this and trying to build our fence, even with the auger, each hole takes hours, we have so much clay and rocks, it is just insane. But really nice video, you are awesome.

@@ThatTechTeacher427 Thanks. right now we have assigned specific parts. I watch the kids while my husband digs, then he watches them while i level and set the posts. he is pretty tall, so he can actually reach the bottom of the holes to dig out big rocks with a trowel if necessary, which happens a lot.

Good thing it wasn't a water pipe or something you hit down there :-)

2:50 You hit the concrete protection placed over the top of services to stop people drilling through them - guess you showed them by cutting through anyway.

Just stumbled across this video after doing some research on methodology for fence building (as I may need to replace one soon). I felt compelled to leave a comment due to how thorough you were with building this fence. This is me on a lot of projects. Usually gets involved and over engineered. Maybe it’s because I’m anal and a perfectionist. Either way your video hit all the checkboxes for me when approaching a project.

I'm not sure if this is your first fence built, but you did a great job. One thing I would suggest is that when you're setting your posts, you should put 4"-6" of pea or clear washed gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage. I'd also stop you concrete about 4"-6" below grade and then back-fill the rest of the hole with clear gravel and dirt to again help with drainage and prevent water from getting between the post and the concrete once your wood has had time to dry and shrink. Cheers. 🇨🇦

No call to 811 before this project? You could have hit a gas main, water or sewer line. Not smart at all.
