In Canada we like to make sure the pretty side of the fence faces outwards not towards the property- this adds property value by making the yards look better from the street- this also ensures hardware cant be tampered with from the ourside- part of code especially if there's a pool ect.. Beautifuly built and looks great!

[@Derpherppington]

never heard of that here in US. people paid good money for a fence so they want to see their pickets.

[@werner.x]

In Germany too. Has to look good on the outside, otherwise there is serious irritation going on. Everybody prefers a good looking neighbourhood.

[@werner.x]

@@Derpherppington That's probably, why the US looks like a third world country from abroad.

[@Fivemonthslater1]

Where I live in the US, it’s REQUIRED to put the finished side out, or they make you take it down and do it over. Obviously this is different from place to place, but people like to think their rules/experience must be true for everyone, everywhere. 😂

[@MetalAsFork]

Looks like a backyard and back alley, so aesthetics aren't as important. Wouldn't be too hard to box in each pole with 3 pickets or something, just to make it look a little neater.

[@gonuts1]

I have done this. good to see i aint the only one. i painted all the metal black.

[@chrisgorrondona]

Nice work handyman! I would have almost been tempted to change the posts with all you had to do to save those but that's why you make the big bucks 😂. I love ready seal from home depot for staining a fence. No runs and always comes out looking nice. Keep up the good work handyman!

[@montanasbigsky]

Looks great but it's backwards. Unless privacy is all your looking for. Those cross beams need to be on the inside to keep climbers and burglars out.

[@MrLbjoker]

beautiful fence. but might want to flip the boards to face outward. you made steps for someone walking by to look over the fence.

[@Longeno55]

What a great idea using the original steel posts. The updated privacy fence and gate look awesome!

[@TexasFenceGuy]

I use Readyseal Transparent Stain and Sealer or Behr Solid Stain and Sealer on my fences depending on the age of the fence/look the customer is going for.

[@christinagenovese4275]

Good idea using the older post !

[@SlackerU]

Nice work. The only upgrade would be to use brush-killer on the fence two or more weeks before trimming. If you spray-kill the plants/vines & wait long enough they'll pull off by hand. In ivy situations I'd want 90 or more days for the plants to dry b/c somehow it always get in my eye.

[@deannawoody9621]

I love the way, you built the fence

[@thefridge02]

Do you have a list of what uou used for the fence? Post splices, mounting brackets for metal post

[@maryedwards-simpson3060]

I did this on two sides of my back yard. The side facing my neighbor's make shift, thrown together, half metal pieces half wood mess my son and I placed the board's good sides facing into my yard. We couldn't use the neighbor's yard for installation. The back portion, which faces the apartment building across from me, we placed the boards on the outside, as it just looks much better.

Truck Levelin'

[@BamaBreeze]

Hey Handy, just starting the video now. Wanted to get a quick hello in first

[@TheHandyman1]

Howdy

[@angryw4nderer]

Where do I get that truck leveling systems😂

[@Fivemonthslater1]

What’s with the ladies’ ear protection? (J/k; those who know, know.) Screws down there, eh? Here we have to use nails because screws will break with the extreme (-45F to 115F, 5%-100% humidity) range. We use nails so they can move around a LITTLE. My fence with nails is great; my DIY neighbors’ with screws have half their boards/sections popped every year.

[@Zuperman07]

Ready seal cedar color is what I used on my own fence but its been about 3 or 4 years and needs a new coat already. However, i put Cabot on my deck and after a year it still looks like the day i put it on. Cordovian leather color semi solid. When applying you can tell the thickness of the stain is much higher quality than the watery ready seal. I have never used Thompsons Water Seal so not sure on that one.

[@ryanzimmermann9160]

Good old used motor oil does the job 😂

[@christlerose8316]

In our town the ordinance says the nice part of the fence must be facing the public areas. This means that you would have to either flip the entire project or do the same posts on the outside. What a pain. This turned out beautifully!!

[@Cashelda]

The public facing side is an alley. Should the homeowner be impressing the homeless? I know it's a city ordinance but in this situation it would be silly.

[@TheHandyman1]

I call them the Fentanyl Zombies . This is an unkept alley way. I think a lot of people missed that point. If this was a front wing fence the nice side would be put towards the front of the house and street. Thanks for your comments.

[@elizabethguerra2379]

Holy s#$t! The handyman has help! !!!

[@fmradio42]

Great! I didnt see any poison Ivy too.

[@mateof3552]

Preservawood “Tahoma Brown” from Home Depot is the stuff I like. I tried the “clear” option first but the wood faded after a year…definitely needed a tinted stain to last a 3+ years in the Colorado sun.

[@vinceveltri7732]

With the sun out there, you have to use very good UV stain. Looks very clean.

[@carloslima439]

Bro 😂 I love the leveling of the post 😂😂😂

[@libu6189]

If I understand correctly, the pickets you used are not treated. I'm considering using untreated pine on my future fence plus staining and sealing after installation. Since the pickets are not in contact with the ground I'm not sure what the problem would be with this but many people object to it. What do you think? Great video Handyman, thank you.

[@tammyleekeller3111]

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. What kind of clamps are those? I have looked all over for them and my local Home Depot has no idea. Help!

Here in the U.K we would have left small gaps in the fence for the wind to pass through, good job though

[@hacksmaster92]

Where did you get the extension post from? Any links ?

[@ig33ku]

Clear coat for au naturel look, maybe something dark for a hard wood feel or just plain white to reflect more light on the garden if it is not a real sunny place.

[@volvo850rex]

the fence looks great from the inside but the rails on the outside is a climbing ladder

[@peterbugbee9734]

If only you could do something for the outside appearance as well. Perhaps a slightly different exterior look, tho yet still a privacy fence?

[@noahsturgill20]

Go up a size on the post so you don't have to hammer them on unless they started with the big ones looks good

[@user-fx4qz8pt3w]

You had plenty of privacy with the vegetation already

[@1977hlovell]

What kind of brackets did you use for attaching the 2x4 supports to the metal posts? I have a chain link fence I need to convert. Love this idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@sothathappened]

you doubled the height of the fence without increasing how far down the posts go into the ground. this increases the chance of the fence blowing over.

[@rok1341]

The assesers office approves the work. Thou he thinks a new level would be needed

[@JohnSmith-ef6rg]

[@GameHEADtime]

What are those brackets called holding the wood to the post? I can’t find them

[@RandomVids519]

We just ripped out the metal fence to put up a new wooden one more room too. But im sure 6x6 poles beat these ?😅

[@BuddyTobyTV]

I mean to each their own but I probably would have not left the fence posts exposed for aesthetics. Maybe no one sees that but I think building some wood box posts with 1x6s and 1x4s would have been slick. But also I wouldn’t have hired a handy man to build the fence. I would just build it myself so who am I to say anything at all. Especially coming from the guy that waits for the fence panel or pickets to blow over due to rotting, hack it back up, then wait for it completely disintegrate before replacing jt.

[@jwil743]

Everyone commenting on direction of finished must have missed the poorly maintained alley, most likely used for trash routes. Great, clean work.

Looks really good. You gotta share where you got those cylinders you drove over the posts to add the height, I've never converted a chain link before. Lots of crazy people in the comments talking about how the posts should be on the inside against an alleyway. Like someone is gonna come by with a drill and steal your brackets LOL

[@TheHandyman1]

Good to see there are some rational thinking people still here. I got metal for the post extension at Home Depot. They are 2 3/8" corner posts for chain link fences. You can get them in 6 foot and 8 foot lengths. I got the brackets at Home Depot too.

[@williamallbright1304]

What extensions did you use for the metal posts?

[@tesoro2250]

The best thing you can use to seal your fence is used motor

[@TexasFenceGuy]

They don’t make ‘em like they used to! The same style chain link today is done with posts that are less than half the gauge thickness!

You should have done it the other way around

[@video80634]

Everyone has their way of doing fences. And everyone likes the "Smooth" side (no horizontal boards) as the preferred "Viewing side." Here's my take on that subject. Why are fences erected? For show? Or to keep people out? Yes, mostly to keep people out or contain your dog. When a fence is erected with the horizontal boards on the outside, it allows for a "Step" (or a ladder) for someone to climb up and over and into your yard, which is a perfect opportunity for a bad guy running from the police to avoid capture. And with that said, the fence does not do what it's suppose to do, AND putting your safety at risk. Yes, someone could climb the smooth side as well, but it's much harder. Criminals are dumb, but not that dumb. All in all, the smooth side should face out for security reasons. Most people don't see it that way, but after 27 years in law enforcement, that's the way I see it.

[@TheHandyman1]

Most fences are built for privacy

[@video80634]

Agreed. Privacy to keep people out.
