I wish this guy was in the UK. I'd have him renovate my entire house. Every single video he does is done with class.

Really love this guy's work so straight forward and he is brilliant at explaining every detail ,top marks

Now it's my turn to tackle this job! 😬 Thanks for the great instructions.

Engaging from the start, clear, concise and brilliant communicator and teacher. I'll be watching this again for my future projects. Thank you Mitre10 NZ

Good planning, perfect execution. Excellent workmanship. Bravo.

I'm from the Us. A Builder. I Heart this Guy. The best anywhere

I live in the UK and I'm no expert with DIY and even though I've had professionals do the main jobs , i wanted to look around and be proud of doing things myself and also to save money . This video has given me the confidence to try and i think most of it is in the preparation and measuring . Thank you for giving me that push.

Skilled tradesman, high quality job.

Excellent video. After watching this I have the confidence to do this myself in my garden. Thanks.

Brilliant! straight to the point and helpful. I'm doing it! Well done video!

A lot of awesome tips!!! Thanks for share your experience!!!

This guy is brilliant in that he does not fanny around but gets on with the exercise. Too many of vids on KZfaq are self indulgent waffle. Not here. Nice one sport!

Been looking at loads of videos to do this project and finally this one straight to the point all I need now is decent tools to do the job!!! Good work.

GREAT video! Thanks so much for this. Been trying to work out best way of making my edge on sleepers sturdy so they won't lean out with the infill lawn behind them. You method of adding rebars into the timber and concreting them in is perfect. I'll put rebar hooks in underneath but also into the lower back face to give extra rigidity. Great instructional. Thanks again.

One of the better vids of seen and well presented. No nonsense.

after vsing all those Easy DIY weekend warriors you come to the final handyman boss this guy

Beautiful job!!!

wow - lots of brilliant tips - I'm subscribed!!

Mackey sleeper...love your style mate!

Awesome video! No fluff all substance.

Hi Mitre 10, that is a pure class job. I've been thinking of garden border edge and I love this. Kind regards Danny🇬🇧❤️🇳🇿👍

Brilliant... using basic tools as well (except the serious bending equipment...). WELL DONE

Your instruction is superb. Seen two videos and have now subscribed. Thanks for these, keep them coming.

Great video, looking for ideas for the garden myself. Nice one lad.

he is so good at his job honestly i am envious to be fair I wish I had this extensive toolkit including an iron rod bend tool etc, these videos make you realise these tasks are all possible with good tools and a bit of trial and error

I've just been offered an apprenticeship in joinery and watching this is absolutely amazing

Nice neat job. I would only change one element and that's the coach screws. I would sink them deeper and then use some dowl to make a more traditional peg look and it hides the coach screws nicely.

THANKYOU for the tips

Thanks mate. Great stuff:)

love your videos.... very professional

Awesome mate thanks!

Great stuff well presented, well done

Thank for the top tips pal

Great job!

All the work I've seen done especially this one is superb, and like Chuck I am from USA and I have never seen things like this from Lowes or Home Depot. We need a Mitre 10 here

Excellent video and explanation- well done

this guy is now my hero

you make it look easy

When are u coming to the UK? When u do, u can do our back garden. Well done, looks great, so professional. MG

I'd love to be this guys apprentice. A master of trade!

excellent video sir!

Thanks man. you are great..... Once again

awesome!

Great job

A tip top job mate

I love these vids the guy is the DIY bear grylls.

Awesome job bro, thanks for sharing, kapai! :)

That wood right now is worth millions.

Quality video. One question: Can anyone explain why he didn’t put scoria underneath the full length? Presumably you wouldn’t have voids.

beautiful! its better then putting a bunch of bricks together. its quicker no digging, stays straight, and does not shift. perfect!

he is very helpful an gave me a whole bunch of ideas of things to do around the outside of the house, an not to mention kinda cute

Thanks very helpful spring, project

beautiful

I don't even have a garden, but it's fun to see how it was done...

very cool men! I liked

Takes him 15 min. Takes me 15 weekends.

just like a pro

Very good informative videos...

Thus guy is the man

When you number the Sleepers also mark what is the Top and Bottom to prevent drilling the wrong side for the anchors.

Lleyton O'Connell is cool for nz

круто) просто и интересно получилось. еще и ТБ придерживается - офигенно!

Quality Job

What's the size if the Macrocarpa you used? Awesome job by the way, just subscribed.

macrocarpa is classed as very durable- it lasts the same as h3.2 pine

great video but how many diyers have a cutter bender tool?

Thanks

Shouldn't you require to fill the countersink holes with some wood filler or silicone just to avoid collecting water and ruin the wood and the bolt (in a long run)..?

"Just go nice and gently." Proceeds to bash it hard. :-)

非常有趣！

"Loves the natural looks of the wood' 'end of the video sees the entire wood stained xD

tsunami hits new Zealand I am gonna grab a hold of this garden border and ride it out.hope everyone is Ok over there today after earthquake

what about a smaller trellis archway?

What type of wood would you recommend in snowy winter regions?

RIGHT-E-O!

I think a few video clips on whirlbirds and skylights, might be interesting, I've done the whirlybirds and I'm keen to give the skylights a go, I was going to use a electric chainsaw to cut the battons is that a good idea? thanks in advance regards Tony

تبرك الله ❤️❤️💕👍👍

It's not stained at the end as some suggest, it's just been wet.

Surely some pea gravel and a few stakes would do the job?

Is there a specific material list based on the project in the video?

what are thoes cuz 200 x 100? no cypress in brisbane

For all of us imperial measurement people, every .0396 = 1 mm. so for 50 mm take .0396 x 50 = 1.98 inches ( or 2 inches).

"And even simpler way.." a huge bending tool no one has. I'm not sure hooking the rods is necessary in cement (try pulling a straight rod out of dry cement!) along with the weight of a sleeper. But perhaps could just do two 45deg holes each end pointing inward. =\======/= Once cement tries will be physically impossible to separate from cement. (Less holes, less rods, less cement) No need for a very simple huge bending tool no one has.

Thought you weren't going to vanish it. What is the name.of the vanish colour?

Won't the wood sleepers be highly susceptible to rot?

Seriously Stan, can you please come and renovate my home an garden ..... I am being serious !!!!!

Very well done, but bit over kill for 1 sleeper high!

I just received my sleepers in 250 x 100 x 3 metre lengths, i can barely lift them. What possible chance is there of these ever moving once laid on the ground?? Steel rods and concrete seem a bit overkill.

OR.... if you want to do it cheaply..... Lay out your sleepers. Wack a treated wooden peg in next to the sleeper at 600mm centers on the inside. Make sure it ends up half way down the depth of the sleeper so when you put dirt in the top of the peg is covered. Wedge a spade under the sleeper and use it as a lever to lift the sleeper up to the height you want, and then put a large exterior grade screw in through the face of the peg and into the sleeper. Will lock it off nice and strong for ever and can be done in fraction of the time as concreting it in.

for sure thats a no go diy

the concrete was too much tho, just bang long steaks in to it. so it can be moved or changed

Great video thanks. A 400mm reinforcing bar won't fit into a 50mm+50mm+250mm hole. The 'kick' won't be embedded in concrete as shown - all those graphics and no one picked that up?

its also best to treat the ground meeting sides of the sleepers with a bitumastic paint, this will add years to their life, great work mate but damn, your add a lot of days work to the job, id hate to see your invoices lol

This guy carries around a Thor hammer 🔨 hahaha

🖒🖒✔

Excelent

Love the accent

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

what do you use to stain the wood?

Hello what kind of wood can I use for this job
