Not really. What happens when the ground changes elevation? You will run into issues. The best way is to nail a dog ear between 2 points and run a string between those 2 points. Go down the string and check the clearance off the ground. If the elevation changes too much and you have too gap, nail another dog ear and create a 3rd point for your string. Now you dont have to lug that thing around or move it and your fence will follow elevation with a good gap.

@@Giannis3434 ok???

@@luciddream2033you can see a 3 inch gap on the bottom of the fence 😂

Yup brilliant. Ever wonder why there's a gap in between the boards on your deck? Plus if you can't stain the edges, I'll tell you where the rot starts. But it has to be right he made a template... and a KZfaq video.

You are so lucky to have skills where you can potter about and be creative. Bird boxes, toys, post boxes, the list is endless. Enjoy your retirement x

I'm a retired Air Force aircraft mechanic. An F16 crew chief. I mostly miss the plane itself, and that's just sometimes. The Air Force was already showing signs of going woke by the time I retired, so I was very happy to drive off base for the last time. Boy what a great feeling it was. Stay busy and keep some time and work structure in your life, otherwise the time goes by disturbingly quick. Retirement can wreck havoc on your health, physical and mental, and can kill you quick if you don't structure it well. Keep a reasonable level of social activity as well. A big part of most people's social stimulus comes from interacting with people on the job. When you retire most, if not all of that, will probably go away. It is not uncommon to work at a place for decades and once you retire to find that in short order old work friends no longer give a crap about you. Develop new relationships, hopefully with true friends. Enjoy your retirement! 🖖

Fresh wood will shrink. There is a gap...

А от земли расстояние тоже должно быть?

….did not see the process🤷🏼‍♂️

It is really that strong?? 😂😂😂

You know, I painted a house on the very top of a Mountain and it came a violent thunderstorm, just viscous and the lightning seem to be eye level and striking almost sideways. I'll never forget it.

When the wood dries it’s shrinks and leaves gaps if you gap it before drying the gaps will be way to big

I always thought it was so you can spy on the neighbors.

Now that I think about it, it makes sense. Some people don’t like gaps, maybe because they don’t want the neighbors peeking. When a big storm hit, it knocked out a fence, it didn’t have gaps.

Cement is a material, a binder, that "goes into" concrete. Uhm, I don't think anyone puts concrete down to define a fence or property line on a residential property. Try some 1-1/2" river rock though, and leave the guessing about means and methods in construction to people who know construction. The woman on Home and Garden TV that you were watching doesn't know what she's talking about 😉

Yup that's why they frame houses on top of cement and treated

Yep grass board.

This woods from trees, or? Where are opinion pictures? so : Don't cut trees...

That is some of the prettiest picket wood I have seen. Definitely not the grade I can get from my local or not so local Lowes or Home Depot.

Bro' knows his stuff!

Nice job, don't listen to the peanut gallery.

Put a 2x4 rotboard at the bottom, then set pickets on top and secure them. Pickets will last a helluva lot longer not being in ground contact.

omg

Yup, a solid curb is a great idea.

Nailing a plastic/rubber strip across the bottom can help solve that problem. 😊💪🙌

It's call weed eater😂

I've been a carpenter for over 8 years. And I am so sad I even read this comment 😂

Ring shank SS coil nails

The wood has to dry out before you can paint it. Galvanized ring shank nails work just fine.

@@saultpancetta366 After a year at the latest they start to rust,because of the natural acid in the wood

@@Luke2084 gotta use hot dipped, they'll last until the wood rots

@@saultpancetta366 in our climate (Germany) all the galvaniced screws and nails only lasts round about 5 to 7 years

Notice the siding under his boards... I'd think he's actually residing a building, not fencing.

That what I gotta do to mine now. years later gonna screw m with fender washers ...6,000 ft.winter weather destroyed dod eared 1 x 6 junk homedepot wood

I use screws only.

I’ve always heard that you should use 1/8 inch gap between the boards to allow for expanding due to moisture expansion that happens from hot and cold weather.

But he's shooting the nails at a downward angle.

😂😂😂😂😂

Somonnnn hehehheje

This isn’t rocket science

What good is a fucking fence if it doesn't go to the ground 😂

@@contraband1543 What good is it rotted out? Do you think your neighbors are going to be peeking under it?

Any tips you can share?

Yeah #1 tip when building a wooden fence like that is NEVER use nails use deck screws because eventually those nails back out. Deck screws are specifically designed for decks and fences. I understand people use a nail gun to get it done quicker but in the long run the fence planks will eventually pop off. When using deck screws yes it will take longer but in the long run at least the planks won’t pop off and you’ll know they are secure.

Why? Because your don't agree with them? A little arrogant of you, don't you think? 🤣

@@bobc.6746 Because Iv built fences for many years and iv learned the hard way. Go ahead and build a fence with nails and find out for yourself. It’s not called being arrogant it’s called experience. Something apparently you don’t have.

@@pulloutking6468 Sorry. My comment was directed at the initial comment.

I got a 10' metal framing strut from home depot for $40. I marked my spacings for shadowbox and hang em post to post. It's a game changer for efficiency.

@@urmompart4706 if you mark your spacings are your posts always set exact distances to create that spacing?

Could be using staples. It's 50/50 either staples or ring shanks for most commonly used in Brad nailer

But, wouldn't screws be much better in the long run??

@@dorothy2646more expensive by far and it’s all about cost. A ring shanked nail straight in will hold a very long time. Outlast the lumber the fence is made from. Some are coated as well now.

Nails not gone last then long screws started heads much better

😂

I was a lawn "sculpter" for many years. Just have to keep track of where the end of your line is. Don't dig the tip into fences, siding, etc. A level mowing by trimmer...I walk backwards with a wide sweep.

That's why you cut the boards accordingly.

​@@jmackinjersey1Any fencing should always follow the terrain beneath it.

Напишите мне. Не нужно быть одной

I’m curious. Have you tried this?

@@BrandynMakes something similar back in the 90s...been using stringline my entire life.

Ide be curios to see you try it now. The 90s was at least 20 years ago. It’d be interesting to see how you felt about the method after 3 or 4 months where you could establish a solid workflow like you have with string, especially considering that you are now more experienced and could see the pros cons more clearly for the rest of us.

@@BrandynMakes tell you what I'll do, i will post a video of me putting up string line and then running the whole 100 ft of fence line in about 30 to 45 minutes, then you can make up your own mind what you think is best, and the optics. I'm 61 years old now and not long for this before I retire. So hopefully you can come up with a conclusion of your own and do what works best for you. Thanks and best wishes!

​@ricsmith2185 I'd love to see that sir. I will personally be waiting.

Не согласен, такое справедливо только если самстроишь раз в жизни, а если ты проф строитель, но вы быстрее проблемы получите если на мускульной иягк будете делать такую однообразную рработу.

@@creu007 👍

He's leaving the required gap at the bottom. He has the preset leveling jig at the top and if you look at the lawn it's not cut and you can see the grass is above his ankles so that's your 4 inch max gap.

I save broken flagstone and place the pieces under the fence so grass doesn't grow there.

@@rupe53 That's a great idea my friend.

@@rupe53you can throw some shingles on the ground under it also, does same thing.

awesome comment.

😊

Agreed, but doesn't take up much room in the truck and it's probably more accurate and less time consuming to pull a string and slow down a bit to get up to the string. Thinking I will do this on my next fence or assisting someone with theirs!!

Your position on the contraption is silly considering the fact that 2x4s are necessary and so is a saw. That jig takes only a few mins to make. I think it is a great idea and will try it next time I construct a fence

@@warrenmarse8680 and by the way my position comes from 35 years of putting up residential fences putting up substation fences putting up fences around factories and buildings installing gate operators installing cantilever Gates so yeah my experience Trump's your silly little bs comment

@@warrenmarse8680 and if you think wasting 20 minutes to build that contraption versus taking a hammer hammering in a nail pulling a string making it tight to guide the height of your fence post after putting a picket in the center to set the height of your pickets then just like this man you've never installed a fence before and you have to create a mechanism because you can't actually fence
