QUICK TIP: Drill your holes before you cut the angle... that way they'll definitely be 90 degrees to the brick when fixed! Quality video as usual. 👍

Remembering that the countersink should not be based on the size of the bolt head but the size of the socket you’re going to use to fix it.

The problem with this video is that it is so good, you’ve convinced me I can do my own fence, but I know from experience watching you makes it look easy, actually doing it is another story 🤣

Great video. Have done much of this over the years. I have drilled slightly smaller holes in the brickwork for concrete bolts to ensure. 10mm bolts, 10mm hole in post, 8mm holes in block/brickwork. I also drill and loosely fix bolts one at a time starting at the top, so you don't have problems if there is any movement.

Everything about this procedure is spot on and very well explained. I've just used a similar method to fix a 100mm square gate post. For those with particularly brittle bricks or London's with the large frog, I'd suggest using 10mm allthread and chemical fixing adhesive such as Kem II. Recessing the timber holes is done in the same way, allowing for a nut and washer. Remember to check your thread lengths so they don't fall short to apply the nut and washer. For those keen on a fine finish can always plug the holes once complete.

Hi Stewart, thanks for your kind reply. All done now, you were totally right about the intense bitting in the wall!! It fixes extremely well indeed. Much much better that old fashioned rawl plugs! Thank you!

I had a similar issue a few years ago, but wanted to fit a gate. I didn't bevel the fence posts though - I simply fitted the hinges to the flush fence posts in the normal way and let the hinges absorb the angle. Worked well and looked good!

Going to be doing a gate and a little bit of fencing. I was worried about the screws I'd use, or if I needed to use rawplugs, etc, and whether to drill into the mortar or brick. All questions answered and all concerns set aside. Excellent vid. Many thanks 👍🏻

This video is very helpful, wonder why I didn't search before. I love the step by step explanation, great. I am a DIY er and this adds to improving my abilities. Looking forward to watching more.

Great video. Top marks on the way you explained how to trim the post. A difficult thing to explain. You did it very well - the advice was very clear and easy to follow.

Good advice Jim, 👍I've done similar but used Dyna bolts to attach the timber to the brickwork, but your method is neater. Cheers Jeff.

Having watched you build the garden planter, you took this to another level. First class job, it makes a difference having all the tools but you certainly know what you are doing..........keep it up 👍

Always clear! Greatest handyman teacher on the web! Love those fixings - seem so much better than the hammer in type which I've never been happy with!

WOW! Once you mentioned bevelling the post i nearly tuned off - far too complicated for me I thought - but you simplified working out the angle so well that even an idiot like myself can work it (not that i need to because my wall and fence are parallel to each other!) The only other element I found not very DIY basic was the laser thingie - not got a one of those and don't want to waste money on a piece of equipment just to attach 3 posts. Had tuned in mainly to see what you used and was pleasantly surprised to see no raw plug required. Years of doing my own DIY from laying patios, house renovations, electrics, plumbing - i have never plucked up the courage to drill into brick!! Flippin' simple following your video!!Thanks alot!! x

This concrete screws idea will solve my current problem of an existing post has come loose from what looked like thin screws into rawlplugs into house brickwork. The whole fence is unstable at the house end and raking it apart is not in my capability or strength. I can drill through the wood post in situ though and put those heavy duty concrete screws in. Grateful for this video!

This was a revelation. I was waiting for you to drill a hole large enough for a big old plastic rawlplug and you just screwed the bolt straight into the brick! I just never knew you could do that.

I have no need or have any intention to do any fencing...... But i love to watch a crafts person doing a job well & explaining all the pitfalls.... Thank you for sharing 👍🏾

Really impressive job. I was just looking for tips on fixing gate posts to the wall, but really liked the fence and all the handy tips. Thank you.

Fantastic. your work is immaculate. thanks for sharing.

Great advice always nice to watch these kind of videos they help you do the job only once rather than wastage. Thank you and please keep them coming.

Why have I not found you earlier! Excellent video, I'm crap at DIY but you take it step by step and explain everything without it becoming boring. Really pleased I've found you. Thanks mate, keep up the good work

Love your work Stuart, I’ve watched every video and your attention to detail how AND why is so useful. My only complaint, more videos please I’m getting withdrawal symptoms 😂👍

Great video and good advice. 9:07, no need for pilot holes if you use a cutter design, of outdoor quality screw such as reisser. But as usual you will pay more for the convenience and time saving.......;)

I use these floor bolts for all my wood to Stone fixings, great things.

1st of your videos I have watched. Not sure I have seen a more concise, well paced, well edited DIY video as yet. Also excellent camerawork and audio (including sensible use of music instead of a constant bed fighting with the presenter). I'm really looking forward to watching loads more. :)

I’ve been watching your videos the last few days to get some ideas - they are great so thank you. Keep up the good work and I love the humour 👏🏻👏🏻

Great video, very professional mate.I too was shocked at how much those concrete screws gripped.

Really enjoyed the vid. Professionally done with no faffing around, well done. I’ll be checking your other vids.

No idea how I ended up here. I'm not even putting my own fence up. But I had to see the finished article. Looks great! And very informative. Good job. 👍

Thank you for such a great visual on the angles.

I'm doing a similar job and I found your video very helpful. Thanks

This is like a City and Guilds workshop lesson. Wow. Thanks.

Excellent tips. I never think of using line but to mark where the Arris rails are over featherboard, it's the only way!

Really enjoyed watching this one! Very good way of showing how to make a template for the angle to cut. 👏👏👏

I've been a fan of Dynabolts for years but those anchor bolts have just changed my mind.

If I could go back and do it all again, this is what I'd be learning. So satisfying.

Nice job. Love the detail of scribing then end board. A proper job! 😊

Great video! Keep up the good work. I wasn’t sure about concrete screws as they are new to me, but after watching your video I’m convinced that they’re really good. I’m going to use these when fixing A New Post to My house wall. Many Thanks. 👍🙂

Just found your channel. Looks good. Personally, and we all have our different ways, I have learnt over the years to always resin when affixing to brick/concrete. Yes, concrete screws can be very strong, but resin is fit and forget. Nice to see a fellow 🇬🇧 doing stuff like this on KZfaq 👍👏

Awesome advice. Thanks a million. Ive done some fencing before but there are a load of good tips from you. Nice one.

Always tended to use the shield anchor bolts but they look a tad outdated. Will be giving these concrete screws a try now they look ace. Good job 👌🏼

Brilliant no long winded story telling, few ground rules and off we go. We'll done

Spot on direction, like those bolts going to give them a go for double side gates posts. 👌

You're a legend thank you for the great tips keep teaching us mature folks

Brilliant video, Bravo. Makes it look easy but also gives me the confidence to do it myself. Thank you.

At last somebody who knows what they are talking about! Good tips good advice!

Thanks for the great insight and step by step guidance on the fencing!

Really good stuff, and quite inspiring seeing such good work. Thank you!

Excellent work, loving the attention to detail 👍

Subscribed, good presentation, straight talking, clear instruction/advise and an easy manner.

Thank you for providing such excellent material

Well mannered presentation, good instruction and no fluff. Well done.

My first time watching your videos and in the first 5 minutes I instantly subscribed. Great video mate

Very impressed by how it's turned out,. Very good video 👍 well done

Really appreciate this film. I need to replace rotten pieces of Door Jambs on our garage door, watched several films and was about to do an easy project, but then realized that all the films I saw before were about attaching that Door Jamb to the wood, and we have brick house, with the Door Jamb attached to the brick. The project turns to be from easy to not so easy, but I can proceed after this film. Thank you!

Literally thousands of videos on KZfaq and this video is recommended everyday.

Very like myself. Some 'belt and braces' stuff, but that's good. As a joiner who's had to retire through illness, i find your videos informative and interesting.

Good sound advice and no bullshit. I have a similar project with an angled wall I did intend to use plastic wedges between wall and post. but after watching your vid, I think I`ll cut an angle on the back face with my circular saw.

A spade bit produces a counter bore. A countersink is typically 45 degree taper for countersink screws. Yes a good informative video.

Nice video and a great finish to the work. Thanks for posting.

Another great video Stuart. Not sure if you have one but, you could do with a drill press, it would make it easier for drilling 90 degree holes.

Absolutely brilliant, real professional, well explained, and suitably informative and inspiring enough for me to do mine! well done!

Excellent, clear demonstration.

Cracking video, all bases covered, plain speaking, very well edited, spot on !

I found that extremely interesting and useful. Would you consider showing how to fix a post to and irregular brick wall please? By irregular I mean a brick wall that is not straight up and down.

You are really natural in front of the camera. I'm surprised you aren't on a professional show. You have good charisma are well informed and entertaining. Impressive.

Great video, well explained, like the solution to the angle on garage wall. Another top job fella 👍

Omg thank you. I literally have the same project with the same geometry. You're #1

Nice neat job - Excellent step by step guide and no bull.

I watched this in full and enjoyed it I must be getting old.

Nice video, used these fixings to hang a gate post on my brick wall. Top tip = spray the hole through the wood and the brick with some wd40 before putting the fixing in. Saves that nasty squealing and makes them easier to do up.

Just found your channel. Great content and descriptions in a nice clear way. Now subbed and looking forward to seeing more content.

That's great and also shows you need the right gear for a good job.

love your shows. really well-thought-out and planned work. keep it up!

Wonderful job and notes . Thank you very much

Great video, my only concern would be the bridging of the damp course.

Fantastic job...great footage...well done !!

Brilliant!! Great video, no messing, lots of great tips. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this, explained in good detail I could understand. Keep the videos coming.

I love the quality and attention to detail.

Solid advice. Thanks.

I use a pritt stick to fix timber to brick work, saved me a fortune over the years.

Lovely job. Those concrete screw fixings are brilliant

What a great video .. with all details.. pls keep doing more

great video should Thought it was great I’m a fellow builder and carpenter and I was really impressed 👍🏻

I really enjoyed this video, now subscribing. I like your presentation style - very informative.

Great standard of work 👍

Going to fit some decking those fixings are on my list. great video

Great video thanks, I learned quite a bit from that. Could I suggest that you cut a hole at the bottom of your fences to allow hedgehogs access? Lack of hedgehog highways is one of the reasons they are in decline.

Great video Jim, very good presentation concise and to the point! One question regarding using the concrete bolts vs conventional rawlpug and bolt. Do the bolts tend to seize and bind over time, making them difficult to remove if necessary?

Brilliant. Some great tips there. Is anyone else screaming 'gate! - make an access gate!!'....no, just me?

8:24 onwards for a couple of seconds.... shut your eyes and just listen!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Brilliant video, really informative and well put together!

Well done , good standards . Looking forward to more videos

This guy is the father figure I wish I'd had 👌

Great suggestions...loved the string to line up the screws. Loved the intro wherein you shaved off some of the 4 by 4. I would not have lowered the bottom 2 by 4 to ground level or below due to rain and in Canada snow. Animals will just dig under. Wind will eventually move the fence possibly as I left mine open in between a little....sort of...a 80 year old neighbour from Ukraine wandered over and took over. He could not speak English so the screws did not line up...and there were some things that he did that I would not...but my Lancaster mother taught me to respect age...hmmm? I loved the drawings. I guess when I make the gate, I will not trim off the 4x4 but will move the opposite side on the 90 degree angle and hope it works as I try to do an l shape to a metal fence...right? Well, as long as it holds to the grandchild is old enough to walk into the front...a good 2 years. But, thanks for sharing...quite professional. Oh,....thanks for the idea of countersinking the bolt. I am a super and the men that, long ago, did a fence and gate...did NOT sink the screws which seem to have caused a gap in the apt where I am living so the gate is tight due to the screws

great vid. did not need music but that aside I learnt a lot. Really helpful, packed with tips. Thanks

Fantastic, so many great tips in one vid. Many thanks.

Great video, but I wondered the entire time If a fence that would open wouldn’t have been a better item to put on that side of the house. Now you have to walk all around the building to get to the other side.

Putting post in totally help !! Just need you to do video on hanging garden gate lol

Excellent job enjoyed watching and learning from that 👍
