How to Build a Fence from Start to Finish with Wire to keep Critters In or Out // DIY Fence Project

Күн бұрын

In this video I walk you guys through building a fence from start to finish. Everything from the fence layout for your posts, milling lumber for cross braces, and even building some traditional fence gates. This fence project also includes some welded wire, which is a bit like chain link fencing but much more attractive to keep that farm style look going and giving us some security while keeping our animals from escaping.

I love the ash! And thank you for sharing history on how fences were built with hardwoods such as poplar. Makes sense as treated wasn’t a thing back then except whatever oil or chemical a farmer had on hand 👍🏼Have plenty of it locally and it’s cheap. One thing, I’m wanting to add in a shorter fence up front of my house so my dogs can actually enjoy the shade and spy on neighbors... I’d actually want hog wire (my Aussies are rough and tumble and slam into the current fence I have our back) for my fence because it’s thicker. I think I’ll inset my wire into the panels but I love the classic style you went with and it absolutely fits the area and your other fence. Very nice

In the summer of 2000, I bought a house in Alberta with no fencing out back at all to keep our dogs in, so that was my first priority. I tried an auger (a big two-man one) and the rocks threw me and my brother-in-law right off that auger, nearling breaking our wrists. I found out from my elderly neighbour that back in the very early 1900s, hundreds of horse cart lods of river rock had been brought into the area as a base for the former stampede ground where our houses on the south end of the town were now built. I ended up having to dig 37 post holes by hand. Nine-foot posts with three feet in the ground.I over-spec'd the fence making sure each hole was bell-shaped for good centre of gravity and less prone to the fencing shifting over the years due to drost and wind. And I drilled each post and put a one-food piece of rebar through it (after re-treating each hole with rot-preventing treatment. It damned near killed me! I sold that house in 2005. In 2018 I drove past it and that fence still looked good.

Only hardwood i’ve ever used in fencing is oak gate posts as hardwood is pretty exspensive here in the UK, everyone’s got the same ideas of cutting up fallen trees into amazing lumber.

@KomarProject 2 жыл бұрын

Ya I didn’t know you can use ash either. But after doing some research I found out that’s how the old timers did it for horse fencing cuz horses don’t like the taste of them

@fraforgt-350r2 2 жыл бұрын

@@KomarProject oh really that’s interesting. That’s what they use creosote for too, it’s very nasty stuff it’s like coal tar or something. Very carcinogenic but VERY effective. They pressure treat it into softwood posts and it makes them completely rot, crack and weather resistant for 40+ years. It also tastes horrible so the horse won’t chew on the posts. It’s banned now in most countries but you can still get it in the form of posts

Heres a tip. Instead of using stakes and lumber to steady your posts, use stakes and ratchet straps x 3..that way you can fine tune the post so that its in the perfect position before concreting. Ive done it a few times now with excellent results every time.

@mckenziekeith7434 3 ай бұрын

In a couple places and in the thumbnail, there is a gate shown with the diagonal braces in tension instead of the usual compression. Because of the way the gate is built, with the diagonal overlapping and screwed in with multiple screws, I think this will work fine. But I am surprised people have not jumped all over it. Only a few comments. Wood is fine in tension. You just have to make sure you fasten it in a way so that it won't pull out when it is in tension.

I've got a couple question, namely because of my experience with building fences growing up to keep goat and other small critters in that like the escape. When cutting the post why not use a chainsaw? Was using the staples easier than using fencing staples? Do your four-legged furry not try to leave the fenced area? Cause I think the fences are a little high off the ground from past experiences with animals that like to escape.

@KomarProject 3 жыл бұрын

The chainsaw will work buy a little heavy for me up high. The stapes will work either way, but since I put the cross braces in the netting will stay in place either way. And as far a the animals, the old one won’t jump anymore and the bulldog, well he is just lazy lol

@matthewgalano7652 2 ай бұрын

There is so much added work here. You do not need to brace every post if you set them right with gravel and dry pack which is proven as strong as wet pour pr thick wet pour then tamo dirt... and a story stick is a big no. You end up with sections that are not level. You use a line level and cut them all so that the top of the fence is level all the way across. Not stepping up and down with the ground.

So I don’t want to waste my time either. Thoughts?
