VERY TOUGH FENCE JOB!!

IN THIS WEEKS VIDEO WE DEMOLISH AN OLD CONCRETE POST AND BASE FENCE INCLUDING SOME GRAVEL BOARDS BURIED DEEP . SOME POST HOLES WERE RIDICULOUSLY HARD DUE TO DIGGING OUT OLD POSTS AND CONCRETE THROUGH PATTERNED CONCRETE SO THE HOLE HAD TO BE KEPT AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE.
WE USED 8 FOOT 100MM X100MM POSTS PLUS 3X 3 METRE ONES WHER THE GROUND LEVEL DROPPED AWAY . WE ALSO USED 150MM X 25 MM GRAVEL BOARDS REINFORCED BY 2 SMALL 100 X 100 MM POSTS .
THE FENCE IS STANDARD 125MM PRESSURE TREATED FEATHER EDGE BOARDS NAILED ON VERTICALLY WITH 50 MM RING SHANK NAILS FROM A NAIL GUN .
THERE IS A SMALL 900MM HIGH SECTION THEN THE FENCE BECOMES 5.4 M 225 X 75 LENGTHS OF TIMBER 3 HIGH WITH A STEP IN THE MIDDLE . LOTS OF HARD WORK WENT INTO THIS ONE ...ENJOY

I really like that fence. Very sturdy - will last the test of time as long as both sides look after it. Really, really smart job. Al, well done for all that boarding-top job. Look after that ankle as you need it for your line of work. Dave Birmingham

Cheers David 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

[@mattcartwright8272]

Nice job lads - those gravel boards are substantial to say the least!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks Matt , should last a while 😉👍🏽🧱

[@timmargereson332]

Hiya guys, lovely looking job that. Really very neat 👌 I've taken to using a 4ft farm jack to pop out the posts and concrete in one. It really does make life easier. I'm using the 9x3' as purlins at 6m long so you know what they're like trying to lift over 8ft high 😉 Have a great weekend guys Regards Tim

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Tim , that Jack sounds handy 👌🏼. 12 “ off the ground was high enough for us ....8 feet ! 😳🤯🤣🧱👍🏽

Digging holes is a killer. I've got a bunch of tree roots to do but I've been putting it off for years.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

@@davidsmith6859 holes are absolutely fine . It’s when you hit , concrete , bricks , roots brick bands and even plastic bags 🥺🥺🧱👍🏼

[@TyphoonVstrom]

Alex needs a pair of nice, solid high top boots. Lace them up real tight and they will protect your ankles and feet. I've spent a large part of my working life standing and the best thing you'll ever do is buy some solid, comfortable high top boots.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

You live and learn the hard way 🧱👍🏽

[@davidgillett5889]

Nice fencing job again lads and I do agree with you about the concrete post not lasting as long a lot of people me including always have thought they would last forever but as we have seen on this job they don’t all the best Steve and Alex on to the next one

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

I put this fence up in my old house in 2003 , when we moved in 2019 it was still going strong , that’s when I was convinced 😁🧱👍🏽

Cracking job that lads nice attention to detail with the capping on top . We us a small air Compressor and ring nail gun rather than gas nail guns as we find it splits the boards mate . Love the father and son just like me and Stevie 👊

Little tip, rather than measure each pale in with a tape, I use an offcut of gravel board cut to 100mm, use that as a spacer and then use the level every 10 boards or so. Edit; just seen you did that later on 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Stan 🧱👍🏽

[@goawakeneveryone4365]

32 years the six foot concrete posts have been installed in my garden. Only two posts have lost one inch piece of concrete. The wooden panels on one section of fence have lasted for the same amount of time.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Excellent! 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@DJProjectss]

you trying to nick our trade sucker?! 😂the post at the end of the garden looked a bit of trouble lol. not you guys but, most people think fencing is a walk in the park, i think we can all agree its hard labour!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Hi pal thanks for watching! That end one was a doddle compared the two in the patterned concrete . One had a flag on an angle so just couldn’t break it and the other was a post . We didn’t film them , to many tantrums and took half a day 🥵😳. Currently watching your marathon live stream bit by bit , thoroughly enjoying it 🧱👍🏽
