Just finished our fence. About 250ft total perimeter. Took about 2 1/2 months of working on it on the weekends. I took my time and tried to do the best i could the whole time. It turned out pretty good. I would never do it again, and i now have a new respect for guys that build fences everyday. The fact that they can get it to look so good and are so efficeint. It is a lot of work.

I see Jeff as a general contractor and a "flipper", a jack of all trades but master of none. When I want to do a project, I check his videos on the matter to get a baseline and say "This is the minimum while cutting some corners". Then I go see other videos to get more details. It also helps that we are in the same city so when he's quoting municipal or provincial laws and norms, I know they apply to me as well. Also, when he uses a tool or product I've never seen before, I know I can go buy it within the city instead of finding out it's something that's only found in the USA. Now his fence videos, to me, they're weird and I don't trust them. I remember in one of his shed videos, he had contractors build a fence while he filmed that project. So he's not a fence guy and he knows it. The one that irks me the most is the measuring part, in his deck and shed videos, he preaches "Measure twice, make sure everything is square, level and plumb", "It's always better to spend a little more to make sure it's sturdy, that way it will last decades" and "When everything is well measured in the beginning, everything is straight and level at the end with minimal adjustment". Why so much approximation for fences ??

I got the sense on this particular project that Jeff took a very “can’t see it from my house” approach which isn’t his normal approach though he does not usually go the extra mile.

He's a "real contractor" which means he will barrel his way through anything he needs to, to get the job done. He has a bathroom remodel video from about a year ago where since he's pouring self leveling sludge across it, instead of pulling staples and prepping the floor, he just hammers everything flat. Wipes caulk over some nail holes on trim, caulks the edge of a particle board cabinet sitting on the floor to "keep the water out." That's just... That's the real way 99% of contractors will do this stuff. Is it the best way? The prettiest way? Most professional way? No. Is it real? Is it quick, easy and suitable for the situation? Did he get the bathroom done for 100 bucks and a cup of coffee? Yes. Once you know who and what Jeff is, his stuff is good, you know to take it with a grain of salt and it lets you turn a critical eye to other peoples work going "Ah, they're pulling a Jeff, but that won't hurt anything."

@Mr__V Ай бұрын

I agree, if you watch him for the perfect way to do something you won't get that at all But. If you watch it for a by the skin of your teeth results of fixing something cheap by the code, you get that. It's good to watch it for an idea of the project or what a contractor will do. But if I want something done right, I will then watch someone else and see a better version of the job by a professional that is in that specific trade. Not just a general contractor that is a jack of all trades, but a master of none.

Likewise, I found this channel because I have fence storm damage so I seek those tradesmen directly in the field. Never even thought of going to Jeff's site to build one.

People want the walmart/dollar general version on everything and worry about it later. Some are even it will be somebody else's problem because they are not going to live in the house that long. I watch a lot of Jeff's videos and the ones he puts out now do seem to be the quick the cheap and the ugly. Unfortunately he use to put out better quality videos don't know what has changed other than maybe people commented on the videos and it forced him to take a different direction with the channel. Side note I am redoing my own fence and didn't think about some of the things you have commented on, like the reveal. So I went out and checked my and I luckily have my around 8".

Great video and good advice thank you! Quick question in one of your videos you said to not attach a post to your house. I have a concrete slab in my backyard and I only have the wall (stucco) to my house to attach a solid piece of wood what would you recommend I do if I can't attach it to the house and I need to build a 6 ft High gate door? My neighbor doesn't want me to attached to his fence. Just for information I live in New York. Also my slab was built in a 45° angle so my gate entry is not parallel to the wall. Weird situation hope you can help, thank you! Keep those videos coming!

@davekushman2363 3 ай бұрын

We start with level 6x6 posts buried 4 feet in the ground with concrete around them as code in my area (same area as Jeff) requires but once we go to hang the fence boards you still use a level to get the first one that’s against the post plumb and then double check every other board to keep things looking good and proper. Never use a sawzall to cut a board that’s visible, you’re a professional, use a tape measure and a skill saw or chop saw so you have nice clean cuts. Eyeballing is okay for a diy guy at their own house if they’re okay with the consequences but if someone is paying you to do a good job, using a tape measure and a level is not hard, won’t slow you down and is a must to call yourself a professional.

Hey Joe, I had a question. Love your critiques. Helped me very much. We had a new cedar fence installed last September. I called the fencing company about staining. They told me to do it in the spring. Does that sound right? Is there a particular stain you recommend?

@JoeEverest 4 ай бұрын

Cedar is typically ready to take stain within a month, as long as the lumber is below 15% it’s ready, an inexpensive moisture meter from Amazon will ultimately tell you when the fence is ready for stain.

@jonathanjordan6371 4 ай бұрын

With cedar waiting until spring is good advice. In the winter months you can’t stain when it gets below 40 degrees, you will end up with a good looking job that eventually orange peels. Summer months you would want to check moister as soon as two weeks due to the heat. If you wait too long in the summer it will leave you with turned pickets. Honestly it really depends on where you are and the weather. There is a lot to go into when stain is ready based on location, material and material knowledge, like where and how long your material has set before use.

@JoeEverest 4 ай бұрын

@@jonathanjordan6371 most oil-based stains don’t have temperature restrictions, it really comes down to comfort. In most areas of the United States a Cedar fence installed in September would typically be ready to stain later that month or in October, depending on rainfall.

(The big box stores are selling steel framing for gates that require wood posts, ours are galvanized steel.) Anyhow, the website worked over Memorial Day. Now they're not allowing my zip code to qualify for shipping. I've left several messages and they aren't following up quickly enough. I have a handyman waiting on these parts to install my gates but I can't get to the gates without the frame kits.

usually DIYers have excess time and limited budget on materials. Pro's would knock that fence out in a day or 2 and not want call backs but for a normal person taking an extra few days on details is not a big deal. If you are doing this for yourself, measure everything, wetset and prop all the posts, splice and rebate the rails in the posts, hit all the pickets with a block plane, sand them and pre finish them, countour them to the grade. This guys channel seems aimed at convincing diyers stuff is easy to get over the hurdle of starting, not exactly a good guide they should follow.

It felt like a 'Hey dad, help me with this fence and I'll buy pizza and bottle of favorite liquor, oh we need to work quickly because the girlfriend's family will be arriving Monday so that gives us 2 days to complete and we still have to pick up the material from the box store" type of fence job. Not really a video worthy of putting on KZfaq in my opinion.

Steel, guard rail, sports fields,jails, backstops and thousands of miles of chain link at every height from 4' to 24' This would never fly as being installed at a customer's house. It not only looks bad, but it's wildly inefficient. Take ALL of your posts, mark down for your top rail, mark for your grade, set the bitch using a LEVEL on 8' centers. Then you take your sections and install. Racking the sections when necessary to accommodate differences in grade while rolling the top line. Screw sections in. This is very amateur.

He's put the stringers and boards on the inside !!. It's going to look like crap from outside his yard.

@MoneyManHolmes 3 ай бұрын

I always put the boards on the outside. I don’t want to make it easier for people or animals to climb into my yard. The only exception is when it’s against a mostly inaccessible area, like a rat run or another fence.

He has over 3 million subs and does novice work ,how ??

@JoeEverest 4 ай бұрын

I’m starting to wonder: 1) If he’s actually serious or if he’s just making substandard content to generate comments. 2) How many of the subs are real, there are a ton of overseas services that generate “subscribers” using cell phone farms.

@@JoeEverestas an idiot who knows nothing about building, I watch him and take him seriously… and think of him like “a nice Canadian uncle who I can learn from.” I assume most people who watch him are similar to me, people who have zero skill and just need a starting point for how to even use tools.

I watched his bathroom video.. seemed ok. but this fence work is atrocious!

@roberthoy9922 Ай бұрын

All throughout these comments, I’m reading about making sure that the posts are level. What?? Level? Are people laying them on their sides? Or do they want to stand them up and make sure that the fence posts are “plumb” ?

At the end of the day it's just a fence. You aint building a house. Get that thing looking decent and move on to more important things.

Jeff knows exactly what he’s doing - quicker and easier for homeowners. What most people want. A lot of hate for a different clientele than what you operate for

Joe lost all love for Jeff when he tried shutting his channel down. Cant say I blame him.

@JoeEverest Is Jeff the only diy guy you attack on youtube? Asking since there are hundreds of humans youtubing how to put up a fence. Do you have any videos that wont cost $15,000 for 50 feet of "PROFESIONAL" fencing?! Seems like you personal beef against Jeff?!

Maybe you shouldn’t do anymore Home Renovision, the tension will soon erupt and we’ll lose respect for both of you, and I like both of you.

He's a terrible hack in almost all of the things he shows. He is authentic though, but some folks may think he's more qualified than he is because they forget that this is the internet.

Is it the best way, nope. However, he is showing the inept that they could diy if they follow along. Also in The People’s Republic of Canada a cedar fence board is $11.47 and PT is $5.28…so a big jump (1x6x6)
