I made the mistake of painting all of my fences ( with the same paint you are going to use). I'm a time served decorator so give them the full and proper treatment, but despite that, they still need re-painting every couple of years! I would suggest just leaving them to age naturally, and save yourself a lot of time and money!

My dad died when i was about 25 and he was a lot like you. If you're going to do a job do it Proper. I just want to say thanks, mate. Dad is gone but I still have someone to learn from. M

Simple job and more so because you explained it clearly as usual. Another great job

Looking forward to this gardening series if it’s as good as the rest of your videos we are in for a treat!

I would love a good video on removing stuck posts

Some prolonged dry weather... yeah right! We don't even get that in the middle of summer anymore 😁 Looking forward to this new series 👍

Pull start! Love the humour. Literally just flattened an ancient old fence ready for a new hedge! Been looking forward to the garden series!

Love the new gloves! 🧤

That jig is genius.

Your videos are always a treat to watch! Especially since I can't do too much in my yard or my shop. Not only am I disabled with a very bad back and Osteoarthritis, I am now fighting liver cancer and more recently metastatic lung cancer. So I love to watch DIY videos and especially yours!

With the world's ecomony as it is, maybe you could try garden and house projects that come be done on a budget. My wife and I bought a house last year and we need to do a lot of yard work and some house work. Lol but we also need gutters which will be pricey, so we wanna get as much done as we can afford.

Im looking forward to the videos to come.... woop woop

Not much of a gardener myself but strangely still looking forward to the new series!

As a chippy to a non chippy, I have to say I'm very impressed... Your methodical well thought out work ethic is top drawer 👏👏👏👍

Looking forward to some much needed garden diy ideas. Excellent stuff

Nailed again!

Proper job mate. Excellent video again,

Great video

Excellent as ever 👍

Great new series! Loved the intro 😂

Another good video Stuart, really looking forward to your gardening ones.

That wild area by the garage looks perfect to me & the bees.

number 1 first time ever yeee

Another excellent video Stuart. After my fence posts rotted through one by one over the years I have now switched to concrete posts & "hit & miss" fencing which allows high winds to pass through the fence instead of catching it like a sail. I have also used a relatively cheap Ferm electric spray gun to paint fence panels. Far quicker than using a brush. I did find that the spray gun drippled a bit so don't use it anywhere near paving or anything else you don't want stained. I laid my fence panels flat on the grass in the back garden to paint them before I put them up. There was some brown overspray on the grass but that disappeared after I cut the grass a week or so later. I too have loads of jobs to do in our garden this year so looking forward to see what you.

Definitely use a sprayer, soo much quicker, I’m really interested in your lawn advice mine desperately needs some attention it’s mostly under attack from moss, excellent channel by the way 👍.

Looking forward to more videos, thanks.

I'm also looking forward to your garden series! And this video will help a lot of people who lost fences to both recent storms.

Great job stuart. Yes you guys had some awful storms recently. You take care and stay safe, from South Africa

Nice work Stuart, nicely edited and teased.

Green grass on March 2! Good for you, we are still under 4 feet of snow! Your video will be useful in 2 months or so... Thank you!

I really have to congratulate you on a fabulous channel. I always end up learning something new. Thanks and stay safe. 😉👍

Fence post protection sleeves are great product to stop the post from rotting, they are shrunk wrapped to the bottom of the post . A really great product.

Fabulous as ever my friend. Nice house by the way 👌

Looking forward to the gardening vids. Some Trachycarpus Fortunei & Chamaerops Humilis Palm Trees might be a good choice for your tropical area. They are very hardy for the UK. I have been growing them for years here in the midlands and I have some big Trachycarpus Palms of around 3 metres high which produce yellow flowers every summer.

Greetings from Cyprus! I recently bought a nice home with a large garden all around, but its all just plain dirt,so i'm looking forward to watching you and hopefully get some ideas on how to transform it bit by bit to a nice colourful garden.

Great! And a new intro clip too 😁

Great job 👍🏼

Good luck with the series Stuart. K.

Another awesome video and will help most of us recover from the last two storms Eunice and Franklin. I found spraying fence panels fairly quick and easy DIY job. Just watch out for oversprays.

Great stuff as usual. Looking forward to a fence spray tutorial, it's a job I got to do this year and be interesting to see your spraying tips and advice

Another proper job 👍😃

Looking forward to the gardening segment. I love diy but I think I love gardening more

Great info video

Cracking video Stuart, looking forward to this series. Laurels are coming on 👨‍🌾 Having been on the receiving end of two cars and one set of garden furniture covered in 'over spray' from fence spraying neighbours, all I'd say is be considerate when using one, the clean up job ain't nice.

I’m sooo excited about this series some minor incontinence has set in…………. only kidding about the incontinence not the series! 🤓

Regarding using a sprayer to apply finish to a fence, I've had good luck using an HVLP (high volume, low pressure) sprayer. I've even applied a sealer to both my deck & fence that the manufacturer recommends not applying with a sprayer. (The reason the manufacturer makes this recommendation is that the product needs to be worked in to the pores of the wood with a brush.) I found that if I applied a fairly heavy coat with the sprayer then back brushed it with a wide brush the product adhered well. In effect, I simply used the sprayer to get the product on the surfaces and used the brush to work it into the wood without having to continuously dip the brush. It sure made the job a lot quicker!

I always leave any new wood in the garden untreated for a few months so it can properly dry out, any excess preservative can wash off (which can stain lighter coloured paints) and it can weather a bit too so the treatment will soak in better. I did some fencing work in my garden back in Autumn last year and will treat it during a warm dry spell this Spring/Summer...

I have tried those garden paint sprayers that you pump up by hand to pressurise them, load of rubbish. Tried the gravity fed spray gun that came with my small compressor, massive difference and made spraying a garden bench or 2 really easy. As others have said, watch out for over spray !

Looking forward to your future garden videos, I see the broom head decease has spread to your lawnmower too LOL!

I also have two fence panels down and I liked the way you did yours, I couldn't help noticing that your neighbours greenhouse needs fixing.

Definitely use a fence paint sprayer - been using a Wagner paint sprayer on all sorts of things indoors and outdoors. Spending time patiently on the prep is the key

Looks like a robot lawn mower hidingn under the sheet. Looking at your lawn, one would be ideal.

Looking forward to the garden series. I'm hoping you can get to a video on decking at some point as I need to get to grips with that this summer.

Maybe a scarifier… will be interesting to see how you get on. Looking forward to the series!

I used to use that same cheap ronseal stuff a while back. Never again. Its so watery and wears off quickly it also always turned green with algae . Cuprinol seemed to last way longer and looked better. However Crown opaque paint or sadolin is the paint of choice now to save having to do it every year!

Cant recommend the erbauer hvlp sprayer enough Stuart. Useful for furniture and interior painting with little mess!

nice House

Still feels like winter up here in the cold north

I used a wagoner sprayer a few years ago when I did my fences. I did all 3 sides of my garden in about 3 hours. Must be 70 linear meters of 6ft fence. The sprayer paid for its self that day. Was about £80 from toolstation. No special paint or thinning required. Just some cardboard masking and a calm day.

Hi love the videos keep them going I found a product post saver its a sleeve that you put over the post at ground level and heat shrink it there are videos on KZfaq I will be giving it a go if you do let me know what you think. Good luck.

Good job. Looking forward to your lawn work. Just wondering if you considered leaving even just a small gap between each board which would maintain privacy but allow airflow so that the fence is less likely to blow over in a heavy wind?

Looking forward to seeing the 'jungle garden'. We have banana plants and black bamboo.. Tree ferns are nice, especially around water feature. Don't go for T-Rex plants. Really nice but invasive.

Burst out laughing at the throwback to the broom in the title sequences. Looking forward to this series. Would like to see tool maintenance tips on my Titan petrol multi tool thing that I can’t get started after standing unused in garage for a few years and a fence spray video would be great too as I bought one last year from Wagner but didn’t get round to treating the fence and deck.

I set short pieces of 6 inch plastic sewer pipe in concrete for round fencing posts so they are removable if they have to be replaced in future

Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers, you are now on track for half a million.

Gardening Season . I can see a Pizza oven or a BBQ being knocked up in the next few months 👍

Just finished this similar job yesterday. (On my fence, not yours🤣) not the post mine are concrete. I made a spacer from offcuts as well, such an easy way to get aligned. I have spayed fencing before and you will meed a brush just to get rid of runs if you get them and tidy up edges. (Keep the air pumped in if using the vacuume type, unless yours is electric/air) a little tip, Cover things you dont want to mark, just in case of overspray. 👍👍

Try the Wagner electric sprayer so easy and quality gun at cheap is h cost,will spray your fence paint no problem, btw great content

Nice job, Stuart! Keep them coming.

Really look forward to watching all your videos as they are so informative, I have even converted my wife into a fan. Are you planning a video about fixing coving as this is something I am going to be doing soon and I would like to know your ideas regarding this. As always keep up the great work and thanks for all your helpful tips - Toto

Great video. How big is the fence jig you made? 4 to 5 inches? Be careful spraying the front. So close to the road, I’d wear a hi-viz …

What is that bit your using to hold the screws on driver? I need this in my life! a link would be lovely. Cheers

Well know we can see your not short of a pound or two , that is some garden , you have a enough room for a a other two houses there 😂 . I’am playing with you mate . Fantastic video as always 👍👍❤️

As usual I love these videos and have learned a great deal from you, Stuart, thank you. Fence repair is just a bit vital and I had to do it myself for the first time last year. I picked up such a lot from this video and have a question. You mentioned the distance between the posts before you could work out how to make the 107mm jig. I bet my post distances are different to yours and for an experiment I tried to work out how I would make the same kind of jig but couldn't quite get my head round it so, at the risk of a bit of flack from the folks out there who do know, how do you work it out? What's the maths? Congratulations on the 100,000 views, well deserved, I'm amazed at how quickly it added up...Brilliant!

What's your thoughts on attaching a new fence to a neighbours existing concrete post, create a new slot with timber slats to accept concrete gravel board and panel, or just go timber posts and gravel boards and maybe step back a foot and dig new hole and allow cross members to run past post your thoughts please. Also I ain't see you use concrete post or boards any reason why?

great job + video cheers,,,, what screws did you use ??

Fabulous job. Definitely go for a sprayer when staining the fence. HVLP ones work great with fence treatment. Once you've tried one you'll never go back to a brush again! Serious time and effort saver! Fun too!

Please try and have a little wild area in the garden. Like a native flower meadow with native grasses. Wilding parts of gardens for the benefit of insects would benefit them as they are in decline, especially butterflies and native solitary bees. Have a look at wild your garden with Joel Ashton on KZfaq. Wildlife pond would be great in one of the corners in your garden.

I thought you weren't meant to seal the bottom of the post, because if you do water gathers inside it and rots it? The water enters the post at the top and sides, and so must drain out of the bottom. Better to seal the whole post than just the bottom.

brought my first house last yeat no idea what to do with the garden so im all ears

You were definitely likely with the foundation as you know placement and angle Just curious did you consider the post saver type product instead of the back bitumen? The company who make post saver must be fairly confident in there product with a 20 year guarantee, not that I think you would ever be able to make any sort of ‘claim’

Hi Stuart, In your video you mentioned that you wanted / are going to spray your fence. Have you already looked into the make and model of the sprayer? I'm in a similar situation in terms of fence length so would love to hear your view on this As always, good video again. keep them coming... Cheers from the sunny Netherlands, Wim

Hi Stuart. Odd one but what’s the jacket your wearing at about 2.30 mark in the video? Dave

Did you have to take off that gravel board? You have a spacer in it when your fitting the fence pailing

If you use a spray for the fence paint, make sure nobody parked their car on the other side. The spray will whizz that paint thro’ any cracks or knot holes. Makes ppl kinda irate. Ask me how I know 😂🤠🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just had to do a similar job on my fence BlackJack - check. (Great stuff) 105mm Jig - check ….but how did you manage to get that old fence post out of the hole! Usually that’s the real pain with a concrete ball where you need to put the new post 🙄 Great Vid as usual Stuart. Looking forward to the new Garden series

Bamboo is lovely BUT it can grow like topsy and is impossible to get rid of. I know this because it is growing all around my garden and I can't stop it:-(

What’s in the box? Robot Mower. Guaranteed.

I’m thinking there’s a scarifier under that tarp

I know your an engineer & brilliant. I've used that Ronseal decking paint a few times over the last several years & its dirt. Avoid it. Look for an alternative. Painted a large decking with fence panels during the summer, used it on bone dry timber posts, gates etc. Washed away. In October just gone, I leaned up against those fence panels - expensive clothing was destroyed. Don't use it. Like I said, its dirt.

I spray everything …. Sooo much quicker … why not use concrete gravel boards tho? The wooden ones will rot

what size screws are you using for the feather edge boards?

GARDEN BAMBOO Can these plants be divided? I'd like to do a bamboo project this Spring/Summer for privacy from neighbours. Cheers

Is it a ride on mower ?

I'd seen you on some dubai videos??? Was you a realtor

Great vid BUT why not use concreate posts ?.. just wondering..

as a viewer from Montreal, Canada: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOUR WINTER IS GONE?

I do enjoy your many great videos, but when you make a mistake, like at 5.28 in this one, where you attach the gravel board directly to the post without a spacer of the same width as the cant rail above. It would be good if you either highlight this or not show the mistake, or show the correction that you have clearly made by the end. If a competent DIYer like yourself can do this, it would be great if instructional videos presumably aimed at helping the less experienced, did not gloss over the problem. But otherwise, I love your content, and appreciate the time and effort you put in to make it.

Garden videos every Tuesday does that mean an end to the diy videos every Friday ??

Another good video but I'm upset as you have ruined my Fridays! (I'm not talking about my manservant either)
