Wouldn't the 2x4 boards (even if treated) eventually rot, so you would lose that brace effect after a few years?

What diameter post did you go with 6" or 8" and why did you only build a 5 foot tall fence for a garden when a deer can easily jump that. I am wanting to build a garden fence and it would be a lot cheaper to do a 5 foot so thought you might have a good reason.

One of my uncles worked for the local power company. When he retired, they were going to decommission his truck so he bought it and a bunch of old power poles that had been replaced with new ones. If someone was replacing a barbed wire fence, they would call him and he would bring out some power poles. For corner or end post, he would cut them 15 feet long and dig a ten foot hole, lower the post into the hole, and then use his hydraulic tamper to pack the dirt around the pole. For a fence crossing a creek or a mid-fence gate, he would install full length poles on ether side and then install a cable across the tops so they would not spread apart. You could tension a 5-wire fence and those poles would not shift even a fraction of an inch and since they still had the creosote they were treated with in them, those post lasted for decades.

Tommy, thanks for this, great video! I am building a security fence for my home (in Hong Kong), this helped a lot!! I showed him your video to our local gentleman contractor, he'd never seen this method before, so we tried it..... He was so happy with the results he said he will recommend this method whenever he builds a fence for a client! Also, I have a small fox terrier who went blind and lame, I had to carry her around everywhere in a small orange bag, really miss that dog, thanks for the memory!

Great info, thank you. Is there a reason why you chose round posts instead of square? , and do you use a larger diameter for the corners? Thanks

That's an awesome idea, I have a hyperactive German shepherd puppy in a small suburban backyard and she has destroyed the back lawn by running around on it all day in just 6 months of getting her as a 8wk old pup it's 99.9% just bare dirt now I need to come up with some very strong but 'temporary' method of fencing off the lawn area so she can't run around on it and pee on it while we sew and grow a new lawn or let (more expensive) turf to get established The cheapest method I can find is using old pallets (the plain generic ones that many factories leave outside and give away free as firewood) as fence panels and using steel star/Y pickets to hold them up and then maybe using plain wire to run around to top of the pickets to give a bit more height But I don't have any way of getting the pallets home, plus old pallets like that look odd and ugly if not painted etc for a suburban garden, but I can get a bundle of star pickets and a roll of wire fencing mesh home, but everyone said it won't work because he corner posts will get pulled over when under tension if I their not concreted in (permanently)....your genius tip is the solution, a couple of lengths of 4x2 on each side of the picket and I can still pull the star pickets back out when I have to move at some stage in the future :) thanks for solution

Say you have a corner post. 1 run will be 100' and the other 50' Does the key for the 100' run go the deepest or the one for the 50' run? Thanks to you and Mr. Stump for a great tip! Tony_V

@perfectlawministries8 жыл бұрын
+Celeste Pinney Her name was "Lil Bit" the chihuahua, and at the time of the video she was completely blind and deaf and totally attached to me by sense of smell. I carried her around my neck in that little bag so that she would remain calm. When I started digging the posts, I realized I would hurt her, so I hung her on the fence for her safety, and I would step over to her between "takes" and pet her and let her smell me. I didn't realize she was in the frame of the video until I was editing and it was too late! Just as well, as she's gotten more comments than the method I was demonstrating. ;-) She live to the ripe old age of 18. I sure miss her.

+Jeff Bourke We hit clay, too, or stones. If you're stuck doing it by hand, a digging bar is a must-have tool in our soil. Post hole diggers just don't work well, with our soil composition. But it's just as back breaking to use a digging bar as to use a post hole digger.
