Cut an Overlap Panel | Cutting a Fence Panel Down to Size

(links to equipment used, in descripton box below) In this video I show you how to cut an overlap panel.
This is often required when you come to install the end part of the fence. This is where cutting a fence panel down to size is usually necessary. Its very unlikely you will finish with a full 6ft wide panel.
If you do, lucky for you, but if not ! you've come to the right place to find out how!

About the best panel cut down vid I can find. However don't know why he didn't re-position the end battens first before cutting the excess of the panel off. This would prevent the panel from possibly falling apart when ripping down. You can usually buy battens of a similar size to nail in place before any cuts are done. Nether the less he done a tidy job.

[@JamesMontana]

You are right but positioning the batten behind correctly is difficult when you cant see it. As long as you use a sharp blade 99% of the time it wont crack the thin laps

[@vern8461]

@@JamesMontana You done a nice job. I'm thinking more about DIY'ers that would use your vid and cut down with a handsaw instead of a circular saw. The results might not be the same.

[@MountainRugCleaning]

@@vern8461 Thats true but its still a pain.

Hi fella great video. Do you reckon its possible to reduce the height of these panels. Am looking to reduce the size of a Forest 6' x 3' Pressure Treated Lap Fence Panel to 2'6" height. I have 4 to do this size. any advice much appreciated.

[@someblokecalleddave1]

I've got to take an old wall down that's about 1.5 standard panels in width, and I'm going to replace with this type of fencing. Do you recommend attempting to convert 2 standard panels in to one big panel, or do as you have here - cut 2 panels down and put an extra post in and have 2 short panels?

[@travblog]

Thanks . One of fence panel was blown off by storm Bella . I am going to try your method .

[@JamesMontana]

I hope it helps. Make sure you have a nice sharp saw blade. These panels are a little flimsey and can split. Good luck.

can you reduce the height of the panel too?

[@romanrodionov3628]

Thanks. Easy. Any chance you know how to cut euro fence panel?

[@JamesMontana]

Yes, they can be a bit of a pain. I normally just leave the end off as its a pain to fit and you wont see it anyway if using slotted concrete posts. Cutting the bottom is easier.

Is it possible to cut the panel length ways, possibly making two separate smaller panels?

[@ggss1176]

I would also like to know this...did you have any luck?

[@nick7188]

Move the batton first to mesured size then you have a guide to run your saw along .

[@JamesMontana]

Yeah ideally move both battens to measured size screw together then cut, but its hard lining them both up without cutting it first. Plus thoes battens arent often straight. Thanks for your tip !

[@gavinletford1539]

Yeh nick leave it to the professionals 😅

[@linkpad6270]

Hi do you think you could use a jigsaw rather than the circular saw?

[@JamesMontana]

You might get away with it but your will likely crack the thin wood. Try removing the battons anf fit back on your marked line. Then screw together before cutting. You wont crack the wood then, but its difficult to get both front and back battons lined up perfectly to each other this way.

[@linkpad6270]

@@JamesMontana Hi thanks for the swift reply! That's a good point the vibration may crack the thin fence wood, I will try using a large hand wood saw instead.

[@JamesMontana]

@@linkpad6270 Youre welcome. Oil the saw blade so it doesn't stick. Good luck with it.
