Fence post pounder for weed Wacker

Interesting

What about rings shank framing nails?

What type and size stainless screws did you use to secure 2x2 to posts?

I got to tell you this is legit it looks amazing. I live down here in Florida and did all the post hole digging myself so this would have been nice LOL great job guys

You need to do a video on how to pronounce your last name...

Wasnt a bad job but of course they finished this quickly. They had about 6 or 7 men doing 200 ft of vinyl and its all flat. Lol. Come on guys. Each guy digs about 4 holes. Lol

Trump supporting construction owners complain about immigration but at the same time hire them for cheap labor.

right ups! haha that's great. Took me like 20 years to learn that the word "Bistek" is not spanish for "steak." "Bistek" is just "steak" with a thick mexican accent. I nearly died of my lungs collapsing and stomach imploding when i made the realization. 😂🤣

5:57 need more bracing! 🤣💕👍

45 degrees is best but it's not essential. We're talking about triangulation and as long as the members are stiff enough and the corner fasteners are sturdy enough, a more acute angle won't be a problem. I won't say 10 degrees is good, but 30 degrees should present no problem as long as the members are stiff enough. Matter-of-fact inserting a center member as you've shown will cause shearing stress on the fasteners at the ends of that center member.

Will you come to boston?!?!?!?!?

I have a gate that is a little heavier then probably needed for a 12ft gate (ok alot) that ranger hd has been reliable so far. Did about 5 months ago.

Having built mine years ago using wood posts and concrete, I will say this would be much better and I wish I'd had this option at the time. The redwood posts just don't hold up to the elements. I'd like to do a 4' privacy fence out front. I'm curious what size post I would need.

Hell yea man. You're a traitor to your country.

I hope this the last time I see a fence like that. 😂

This method only applies to a perimeter frame gate. If it is frameless then whether the brace is in tension or compression, you still rely entirely on the fasteners. ✌️

My PreCal instructor would love this!

The best way to brace a gate is to not have a gate. Problem solved

And that is y you are taking all the pickets lol

Bullshit you could reuse it but it a lot of work

Dumb question but can I still put the tension wire if the chain link is already up? If so do I just run it through the links? 😅

This looks to be a wonderful fence! We keep sheep, horses, donkeys, chickens and ducks behind fences far less sturdy than that. I can also say from experience, if you are using this type of fencing for dogs, you actually want a bit of slack - the tighter a fence like this is, the easier it is for dogs to climb... and not just domestic dogs - think coyotes and animals like foxes too. Now if you're trying to keep goats in.. you pretty much need Alcatraz in fence form.

Our townhouses have gotten new exterior paint. The painters were six young Mexican kids. Only one spoke English. They put in long days and their work was fast and flawless. Construction companies go to the local high schools to try to interest young people into going into the building trades. They have little success.

Whats the cost of that post pounder or can i rent one

good

Plumb is straight down to the center of the Earth. (You guys are the Best.)

As a European builder dang i feel sorry for you guys with feet and inches, instead of like 1270mm you get to decipher some harry potter spell

Where you get the hard hat from?

I oull alot of oost living in Southern oregon. Everything is cemented due to clay with bedrock a 1ft down, so your digging. Never had a problem leaving cement behind on post that are not rotted. Cement on wood is plenty sufficient.

I enjoy watching your videos. I learn so much!

This is not how u forum . This is Micky mouse. Use 2x4 pickets drive them in with a 16lb sledge hammer. Not 1x2 stakes . And also use nails

He’s always been legal With out them ,America wouldn’t thrive That’s a fact

Wood hangs in compression, steel hangs in tension

So what do you do when it's nothing but rock? I just bought a house that's basically built on a beach. Need a fence for our dog. I did one hole by hand (2 hours) and need another 50. Rocks range from 3/4 inch up to 8 inches

lmao at you guys with that anemometer.

Gotta do a bias cut in here in Nashville they not teaching me I had prior experience. But I’ll be Dam to ask for help . On they a$$ tomorrow appreciate it sir

that is one ugly fence lol. Nice job installing it, but corrugated metal ugh

If I can rent the post driver is this something a DIYer could do and where would I source the good quality materials? Thanks.

i have built fence.but not as easy as this.nice work

is it loud in the wind with those seams

With your compression brace, now all the pressure is on the TOP RAIL fasteners at the hinge stile. A lot MORE pressure. You just relocated the weak point to a different point and increased it due to a longer horizontal force. You messed up. In other words... *You are WRONG*

It seems clear that the single brace on the long gate is more effective than the heavier and more complex version with three braces/boards. The single board not only holds the gate higher in the video, while the triple brace sags dramatically; but it also would likely hold more weight placed atop if easily tested. The additional braces add almost nothing but extra weight and waste. The one brace that is working is now put at a severe mechanical disadvantage due to the length of the gate extending as a lever beyond it. Braces should go corner to corner for maximum strength, as you first instructed, with few justifiable exceptions.

these guys are bad ass

Hmn!

Is there a special adapter for the Driver size that fits the postmaster?… or can you use the round 2 1/2 inch Driver adapter

Hey Mark. That’s a sharp looking fence. I picked up some pointers and I love the little gizmo that twists the keeper to the posts! That is worth its weight in gold! Nice tools and techniques. Thank you!

How did this guy find the time to shoot this video. Shouldn't he be coaching AFC Richmond right now?

Do you sell those gates kit? Great tutorial. Looking for a 3ft wide x 4ft heights gate.

Fantastic video, Mark & SWI crew! It's great that these tips can be applied to materials beyond vinyl. Thanks to SWI for consistently delivering top-notch content. Looking forward to the next!
