Build A Forever Fence With This Crazy-Looking Steel Fence Post

[@MyGuyKirby]

50-years have gone by since I lived in Wyoming, nothing has changed and that steel post will last through all the winds that blow all year long. Love your tips in building the fences!

[@FGFWTX]

As a fellow salesman, I completely dig your personality and technique. I'd buy in a heartbeat.

[@johnportman8037]

A week ago, I would have completely agreed with you about wood posts in the ground. I just pulled 18 used power posts that were buried 30" in the ground. Some of them were held in place with tamped dirt, and some had a 3" collar of concrete. The concrete posts had approx 1/2" per side of rot and were very hard the pull out. The ones that were in dirt had 3" per side of rot. The only thing I can't confirm is if they were installed at the same time.

This dude is spot on. Folks this is a fence that lasts!! Proven to work

[@DavidKlausa]

If you do use cedar posts, there are several things you can do to prevent them from rotting: coat them in a wood preservative, slope concrete away from post, caulk where concrete meets post, and ensure there is drainage below the concrete.

[@SWiFence]

All of that will help, but the post will still fail eventually.

[@lHurtYourFeeIings]

The fact that you have to do allll that is more reason to avoid wood. Spend a few bucks more and use metal.

I'm building one this weekend using corrugated steel roofing. I may be able to make a video. If I don't, it's pretty straightforward. Instead of using pickets or wood planks, use the metal roofing cut at 6 ft. Each section would consist of 4- 6 ft tall panels. Touch it up and make it look nice with anything else you want.

@@jeremyschaffer6708 If you do it right your fence should last 30 years though. I just helped tear out a wood fence that was 40 years old only had an inch of rot on some posts. It was still standing strong the only reason it was replaced was because the pickets were falling apart from kids and grandkids hitting balls off them in that time. Having to replace a fence ever 25-40 years for less $1000 vs. having to spend just a $1000. Honestly though if you're just looking for at metal fence posts U channels are way more expensive and then just a regular post for a minor convenience. You could put in normal steel post, have wood pickets, and hide the steel post for cheaper then you could put U channel posts in and also wouldn't have to lie about cement speeding up the rot of wood posts either.

[@SWiFence]

No, that wouldn't be necessary.

[@nateh6441]

Bent first year in service during windstorm while adjacent 4x4 wood post fences were fine.

[@SWiFence]

Well that stinks. Were you using PostMasters or a different brand? Were you spaced 8-feet apart or less? PostMasters are rated for 70-mph winds. To be fair, I've seen 4x4's snap like tooth picks in a wind storm. The choice is yours on what post to use. If we install in a known windy area that could have an effect on the integrity of the post, we will consider shrinking the post spacing, but we haven't seen one fail yet.

[@seanmacha2668]

Or you could burn the cedar, oil rub the charcoal deep into the grain, silicon seal the entire in ground portion and end grain, rubber the ground to divert water, cover with beautiful stones. Looks amazing, lasts decades if not centuries and you made something beautiful. Or just put in steel.

[@kusai001]

I put emulsion on mine and sealed mine. I put a French drain along one run because water goes through there in a way that if there was ever heavy rain it might sit on the posts for a day at most. and there is a raised garden near it that might trap some of the moisture.

[@travisdudley5984]

When doing a postmaster fence like this on non-level ground do you go still do the same depth for all the posts and the pickets follow the ground, or do you set them level the pickets, then cut the over on the post?

[@SWiFence]

It depends on what the customer wants, but typically we follow the roll of the ground but still try to smooth it out. So each post inserted roughly the same distance, but adjusted a little to smooth out the rolls.

[@blh3741]

I have a customer that wants "rot proof posts" due to termites/heavy storms/hurricanes and these PM Posts would fit the bill while still following HOA requirements of 6' wood dog-eared pickets/boards. Location is slightly inland of NC Coast(Jacksonville). Would you recommend them for sandy soil? I plan on 4'+ deep and 6' centers(pounded, not driven unless you say otherwise). Your fence challenges are perfect for the jobsite breaks. Fun, educational and entertaining. Thanks! -Brian

[@Brees1986]

So the link now goes to a Trident fence post. Does that mean you can no longer sell Postmaster? I’ve read that a postmaster does not sell to the general public anymore.

We've just switched to Trident. You can find postmaster at your nearest Home Depot.

[@serenewein]

Have you ever set those posts into the cores of a cinder block retaining wall? As long as there’s at least 24” of depth, I would think it would be ok?

[@SWiFence]

I never have. Just keep in mind it's only going to be as solid as the wall is currently. (Actually, it's only going to be as solid as the wall is currently with the added stress of the wind load you're about to add from the fence.)

[@Luckingsworth]

You will need the retaining wall engineered to be able to do that.

[@jeremyschaffer6708]

Are they even selling the Postmaster+ posts anymore? I only can get the original postmaster.

Wondering if the steel posts can be used when installing heavy driveway gates, like as long as 10 ft in length. Strong enough?

I wouldn't use a single post master for more than a 5' gate. Other than that you can double them up (facing in opposite directions, bolted together), or PostMaster does sell a gate post as well.

Don't know what they started with or what your ground conditions are. Ideally you want it driven 1/3 of the way into the ground.

[@michaelsuk4654]

@ if you push on it should it give back and forth? Is this like this to help with wind or could it be not driven in ground deep enough?

[@SWiFence]

This depends on what you mean by give back and forth. A steel u-channel post is always going to flex some, and that's not a bad thing at all. Skyscrapers flex, after all. But if it's wiggling around in the ground, that's a bad thing. Nothing at or below ground level should be moving. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ScY6asq6iFfNE

[@JustWinBro]

doesn’t matter, the elements will still rot away the wood underneath. Steel will last much longer

[@lHurtYourFeeIings]

Steel doesn't rot so how can wood compare?

[@KB-ie7jr]

Saying wood eventually rots is like saying steel eventually rusts. Galvanized, Hot-Dipped, even Stainless eventually rusts, but there's kind of an important detail about pressure treated lumber that people seem to be missing here... Alot of the pressure treated lumber that's sold in the US is actually covered by a lifetime warranty against rot, fungal decay, and termite attack. Basically the only thing that voids the warranty is not going back to seal your cuts. So don't forget to seal your end cuts and you're set for life!! So I guess maybe that's one way that wood compares to steel?

[@lHurtYourFeeIings]

@@KB-ie7jr "set for life"? I don't know man. I just bought a house and all the fence pole were rotten from the base. I checked Google map and compared the history, the poles were installed around 15 years ago, all rotten and falling where the wood meets surface level, the wood Inside the dirt were all fine. Now about "life time warranty", what life time warranty when you don't even see a product label on it after 15 years? Wood is wood how are you going to know what brand it was. LOL

[@KB-ie7jr]

​@@lHurtYourFeeIings I honestly can't tell if you're trying to make a case against the lifetime warranty being a thing or if you're just sharing anecdotal stories instead. I'll respond to both I guess. So congrats on the new house purchase and product warranties in general don't transfer along with the re-sale, they only apply to the original owner but you can always check. Every piece of lumber is required to have a grade stamp which also includes the mill or manufacturer identification as well, so that's how you know what "brand" it was. And even if you didn't, just about every warranty claims process anywhere requires you to have the original purchase receipt. Nobody expects the product label to still be on after 15 years. I mean you don't keep the barcode labels on all the items you buy and still wrapped in cellophane right? And finally, I'm not exactly sure what you were getting at with the last coments but the lifetime warranty is still possible without a product label and wood can still rot when it has a lifetime warranty, these things aren't mutually exclusive. LOL

$85-$100 per post ????

[@sandomingo8852]

I just paid $49 a piece for the 8' posts. They were $39 each pre-PLANdemic.

Lowe's $29 year 2022.

Limited lifetime warranty, except the company will have gone bankrupt or been sold or absorbed by someother company and guess what, no warranty

Use 😂this as post for native rough pine. Its the longest lasting post,

[@dosam_6146]

$94.00 for one post? No thank you.

[@matthewsimonds5272]

More like 20-35 at a supplier bro lol well worth it

[@tomb8564]

Was $65 not that long ago.

[@aaronlewis7562]

​@matthewsimonds5272 where can I find a supplier

[@mrjujuice5484]

Not everyone is going to have a ‘supplier’. These are not near me and the custom pounder definitely is not.

[@dosam_6146]

@@mrjujuice5484 You can get a very similar post for 60 bucks at Lowes. Not sure how to get them in the ground. I think I would dig and set them with concrete anyway.

I thought it was cool as he'll until I saw the price, what ripoff!!!

All I got from this video is that you don’t know how to treat wood

[@SWiFence]

All I got from this comment is that you're fine with it failing eventually.

[@n-e-u-t-r-a-l_-2039]

@@SWiFence i mean to a certain extent the metal will fail too. Rust buddy. Wood Last longer if treated properly shoot oil and gas will protect that from rot for at least 100 years

[@lizardman1303]

Is post master better then round steel post . And is ok to go 8 feet instead of 6 feet panels

[@TheLarryBrown]

@@n-e-u-t-r-a-l_-2039 Lie. There's not an intact wood fence post on earth from 1922. Lucky to get one from 1975.

[@Timmywahoo]

Don't take these post personal, your video was great.@@SWiFence

[@Kashype101]

Lmao, who would spend all that money on these post's plus the tool to do it might as well do cylinder block. This is kinda ridiculous

[@SWiFence]

These posts are MUCH cheaper if you source them locally. Shipping steel is gonna cost.

[@robl496]

People use your brain …. Steel rusts the same way that Wood rots Plus in places where Hurricanes are a threat these flimsy steel posts will be the first to be blown away

[@SWiFence]

Er, no. We test them against hurricane-force winds in this video (toward the end). kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGHVeJluq6qjbqs
