Can 3 men install 1000 feet of Kentucky four board fence in one day without digging? This is how the pros build and install a strong wood fence without using concrete. With help from Mark from Swi Fence and Ryan Sloop from Sloop Fence, I'll show you how the pros avoid the worst part about installing a new fence. Digging the holes. We used pressure-treated 5/4" x 6" x 16' pine boards but usually fence installers use rough cut lumber. We installed over 260 feet in under 5 hours because of filming.

From someone who installs fence for a living (in Asheville NC) it's refreshing to finally see a video of people who know what they're doing build a fence. Good video!

It's not that hard. I replaced a rotten wooden one with a vinyl one over a couple of weekends. I rented a jackhammer to reuse the existing holes and poured concrete around the vinyl posts. I'm not that big and am developing tendonitis in my wrists so I used the 60# bags

That’s a nice looking corral rail fence. I wish it was that easy in the west but we have to auger holes to set the posts. You’d never get them to drive into the ground here unless it was after winter rains and before the ground starts drying out. In summer months you’d be hard pressed to get steel t-posts to drive.

Great Fence idea. We just moved to a small town and I have 100' x 135' lot. Needs a fence as I have 3 med sized dogs and 1 yorkie. I may have to improvise and place a board lower to the ground or use 5 or 6 boards to keep him in. But I love the clean lines of this fence and minimal materials. Now just to rent a post driver. LOL

When two boards meet at the center of the post they have to share half the width of the post to be nailed or screwed in my case. Thats why I offset the runners/horizontal boards on the post that way you can screw them with 3.5" torc 25 exterior crosscut thread screws across the entire width of the post. Then I put fence posts about 2' in the ground and 6' above, with the fence boards 6" off the ground that way I get a 6.5' fence. Thats what I did for my courtyard fence. Came out great good.

Unfortunately, the fence pounder wouldn't work for most of my yard. I've go SO.MANY. ROCKS. From small ones to 300 lb ones, they're everywhere under my lawn. I found out a couple years after buying my house that across the street used to be a gravel pit, which lets you imagine just how many rocks are in my yard. I've been redoing my sprinklers for the past couple years and it's been horrible.

Maybe put in posts with a ground screw (and place posts inside the screw? Depending on what type of rocks, a ground screw sometimes even can break larger rocks when going in. But I feel with you when needing to dig a trench... I had to use a large angle grinder with a stone disk in my yards at times as well when doing such work.

Over 30 years ago we replaced a board 6 foot fence with the 4 x 4 posts. All pretty normal except I decided to wrap a good grade of plastic around the post bases and a few inches above ground level. Ten years later we finally got tired of needing to paint the pickets every year. I was anxious to see how well the posts faired.... Just like bran new to be sure.... I gave them to a friend who was needing posts as new looking posts.... I put in chain link and saved a whole pile of painting from then on.

This is pretty much exactly how we put up fence, we use string to drive posts with a level, we also use string to mark the top board with thumb tacks to put the string where you want it on each post you need to adjust on. It looks like you guys are using deck boards of some sort though we use fence boards oak or popular depending on customer preference, and we have a pre made 3 board/4board template to mark top mark for each board on the posts. You guys have a top tier post driver too ours is a two man yanmar dump bed on tracks converted by taking the bed off and putting rails going up on front and back to keep posts on the driver and we put the actual post driver on the back and used the hydraulic hoses to power the driver that previously raised and lowered the old dumb bed.
