Күн бұрынFinally...privacy at the Epic Homestead! This fence is the project I'm most pleased about completing so far to provide some much-needed privacy and really solidify the property lines of the homestead. Hope you all enjoy and very curious to hear your thoughts on this project.

The look is good but I think you should make sure it is on your property. Even if your neighbor is nice it may be an issue when you or they want to sell the property. Most permits require it is on your property.

Oh no!!! I saw the other comments and thought "Well, maybe they're talking about something he posted elsewhere," so I checked ig and saw your story!! I really hate that happened to you, and you're so right! That is not okay!! I have wondered about things like that with other content creators, like Garden Answer and them showing her parents' garden center (something that could be easily located), and how you all manage that kind of thing and knowing how much to show or not show.. I certainly don't have this type of following, but I'm always leery of showing certain things from my yard/street in public photos and videos..

Really cool fence Kevin! If the bowing bothers you you should probably fix it sooner - since the wood after a few seasons will set into its new shape, then you can remove the extra material that was keeping it straight. Also... do make sure to keep that tunnel between the house and fence as clean as possible. I can promise you from personal experience rats and all kinds of pests are going to find it heavenly :) Good luck man! I hope you get to do like "before and after" video of some property sections, at least once a year. So that both you and us can notice how much things have evolved!

Boy, I had real terrible gardening in WA at first, then Central US.... now we are moving to VA. Its another temp Zone that I've never graden in. I LOVE your gardening Spirit, the Epic Garden has helped me learn that I can adapt to any climate Zone, by using Elevated beds and just not giving-up. Thank you, you're a sweet Fella.

berries along the fence would be great but may I suggest a low raised bed about 3' from the fence to plant in? More air circulation for a hot climate and possibly less disease for the fruit leaves. Could use all that dirt for the bed. Air circulation here in Florida is a huge consideration for me when planting anything. It really is a beautiful fence.
