All these comments saying it isn't done right... this is the standard way of fencing in Australia. I am yet to see when fall down and I am in the cyclone zone...

thanks for the video. I'm about to tackle this at home and I have a question. I'm going to do a lap style fence like this. I thought it was almost mandatory with these types of fences to add a capping beam so there's less occurrence of water sitting between the overlapped palings and causing early deterioration. Any thoughts on this? Maybe Australian conditions don't warrant it?

Can you help me with your experience. I have access to several 4-foot wood pellets. How can I use them as pickets on a 5-foot or 6-foot high fence? Years ago my father actually cut and glued wooden accordion crates used in shipping from Italy. I have no desire to do that (God bless my father).

75 mm x 38 mm and 100 mm x 38 mm are equivalent to what lumber in the USA? 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 respectively? What are the dimensions of the sleeper board. Thanks in advance.

Wood and concrete are incompatible. The post can swell and break the concrete. Then you have a loose hole. But more than likely the post will rot within the concrete because no matter the slope of your runoff the post will remain wet in the ground and treated or Cedar, will rot and pretty quickly. I have replaced many a post just because it was concreted and the bottom rotted off. Put some gravel in the bottom of the hole, if you must, but just packing the dirt back into the hole and around the post is all it needs and will remain there, in the same position for many years to come. BUT DON'T CONCRETE IT!

Steve Simpson regretably you are not fencing in my area in the UK because we love getting called out to fix fences that have blown over due to no concrete on the posts.I hope your local fencers who do it right thank you for all the work you put their way.

lol ,Well first you need to splice your rails and also stagger your rails as well your way your fence would last a year at least typical landscapers

They are a landscape supply company, the blokes building are fencing contractors. A landscaper wouldn't bother with a fence because we can't compete with the prices that fencers offer. They are cheaper for a reason!

It's a one man job if you're worth your weight. You can toss rock into the post hole to keep level so you can add the cement. NEXT!

@lynnfownes4474 9 жыл бұрын

one big mistake you made is pouring concrete around your fence posts. The second rule of working with wood is wood and concrete/cement never touch ever. you can either bury your fence posts or use concrete footings.I can't believe you are teaching people to do it wrong.

@alexc5369 8 жыл бұрын

+Lynn Fownes when you say 'bury your fence posts' do you mean just in plain soil? this would rot the timber far quicker than in concrete. and using a concrete footing, i assume you mean with a steel stirup? yes timber would be away from soil but your fence would be wobbly as hell. if you are worried about rot just paint bitumen paint on the part thats in the concrete,, and make sure there is atleast 100mm of gravel in the bottom. if you wanted to go crazy you could even wrap around the outer side of the hole with heavy duty moisture barrier before the concrete goes in to prevent moisture entering from the sides

@pootube50 7 жыл бұрын

Probably means using stabilised earth, basically use the soil you dug out of the hole and mix it with neat cement, then you compact it around the post. She is right, it does prevent rot as the water can drain into the surrounding soil. When the post shrinks it creates a micro gap between the timber and the concrete, the water goes in between the concrete and timber and has no where to go so it remains moist and rots. Best practice is to go down 1200mm and use stabilised earth. 👍🏼

marko Simone’ He’s right concrete rots the post , Best way to backfill post is pee gravel and pack with digging bar ,gravel lets water drop down past wood post instead of trapping it
