If you stack your roof panels you can pre drill your screw holes. Drill through the whole stack. Huge time saver. Then you don’t need a story stick and the screws don’t have to drill. They can just screw. Learned that trick from my Amish crew. Smart builders they are. 😀

[@daisypooch4034]

I was taught the 3,4,5 rule for square. Once your strings are laid out, measure 3' from corner or intersection of one string. Then measure 4' from corner and intersection of the opposite string. Now measure between the 3' and 4' marks and if it is truly square it will always equal 5'. When it doesnt just move one string until those two marks meet at 5' . then once one corner is square you just continue off that true corner only moving strings that have not been squared using 3,4,5 until you end back at your first true squared corner. Works well any size square and doing it by yourself. Anyone can easily measure 3 feet, 4 feet and 5 feet. And it is really easy to remember and you always have this tool or method with you! And I'm not a carpenter but an electrician originally; but found this knowledge "priceless"! Lol😂

I may have missed it but are the screws and washers galvanized too? Important for rust. Stainless screws would eat the zinc coating then the steel panel out, allowing the panel to come off in wind. I’d go nuts and spray Wurth Zinc Perfect spray onto all the hardware day before use.

[@AleXBC360]

Love your videos and this fence idea! I read through the comments and didn't see this mentioned yet. I just wanted to mention that i noticed the overlap on the steel panels is backwards (not that it matters on this fence). The side of the panel that has the tiny flange should lay flat, and the other end that looks half finished lays on top of that. As you work down from where you started, this flanged end gives rigidity and strength for the half finished end. When the half finished end overlaps, it pushes tightly against the ridge it covers, creating a seamless look.

Just a tip for the screw template: make little hooks on both ends. The top end is holding the template, the bottom (max 1 inch wide) is holding the sheet metal so you can work freely with two hands.

And I sure the heck can not afford the $2,900+ price tag on that thing. So little ol self is stuck digging holes and flopping in the wooden fence post now. Unless I can barrow your digger. 😂😂 Great video and you have my subscription. ❤

I've only watched the first 5 min but he need a work bench and table for cutting..his back will be sore. I LOVE that you tell people wood roots in the ground especially with water.

[@mereese1]

Building a metal fence is something I will probably never attempt. But it was quite entertaining to watch you do it😂

[@twistedpixie8299]

I'm a homeowner AND a carpenter. You had me in TEARS laughing so hard through this entire video!!! Pull-starting the post pounder...omg...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That's me and my weed eater. Always.😂 You are brilliant and hilarious, and I'm in love. WELL DONE, SIR!💖😍😂😂😂

Glad to see y'all are safe after the hurricane. So good those trees didnt hit your home!

Speaking of home depot. I had some bowed walls I was replacing drywall on and my thought was to grab some bowed 2x4s from the delivery I had received a few days ago and and sister them in with the bowed going the opposite way so it pulls the wall straight. But to my disappointment, they were all straight for once.

[@mjpete27]

I might have missed it, but what is the wind rating for this fence? We have had to replace wind blown fences with a regularity that brings smiles to the contractor’s faces hereabouts! This look awful solid to me, how will it do once the wind blows?

[@number1angel66]

Thank you for helping your sister! You had me laughing so hard! I enjoy watching your videos, in part, because your behaviors remind me of one of my brothers that I lost a couple years ago. He picked on me a lot when we were young, and our older brother, who passed a couple years before him, was always in the middle defending me. About a year before he passed he was very sorry for the way he treated me and apologized. I told him there was no apology necessary but I accepted it. I barely remember those incidents but I do remember working on his car with him sometimes, helping him partially finish the basement, helping him put in a drop ceiling in the dining room and motorcycle rides. Blessings of love and light to all!

Fence looks great but ... question ... why didn't you top it with the metal fence cover? The wood is eventually going to warp. We made sure our new house had no wood exposed to the elements because I was tired of the warping and cracking. It looks nice though you did a great job! We used the same 'diving rods' 'Witching sticks' to locate water to dig our well ... it worked perfectly! We also have a metal fence ... awesome! Our last one was still going strong 10+ years.

Pressure treated wood won’t warp except in extreme drought conditions.

[@danweeden9285]

@@sreilly Not sure where you get your information but that sounds like something the high school kid working at Home Depot told you. I've been building homes for 50 years and pressure treated wood warps just like any other wood, wet or dry. It all has to do with moisture content of the wood, the species of wood, and the grain of the wood. Pressure treated wood is construction grade soft wood, usually spruce, pine or fir. As soon as you pop the bands (straps) on the bunk, or lift, dimensional lumber, including that which has been pressure treated, begins to twist and turn. In the business, we don't break the bands, on any dimensional lumber, until the last possible moment before we can nail it down, or together. The pressure treating process is a process where a chemical is forced into the cells of the wood using high pressure while inside of a vacuum chamber. Its purpose is to increase resistance to moisture, rot, and insects. It has nothing to do with increasing the structural integrity of the lumber cells or fibers.

Genuinely some of the best original and real content I’ve seen on KZbin in a long time! Loved it! Subscribed!

LOL So precise with "and 9/16ths", then proceeds to spray paint a big ole "X marks the spot" that's at least 1 1/2" wide! 😂 😂 😂

[@ShrekZilla]

I used to be in the fence business and i can say for sure. this is the niciest looking fence ive seen. Would love to see the final video of it once 100% complete. Nice work!

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! I’m going to post a video or pic soon now that she has finished it.

[@ShrekZilla]

@@HAXMAN Please tag me would love to see it! 💪🏻

[@richardkudrna7503]

Astounding that the fence could tolerate the wind loads. If there’s a prevailing wind maybe set up with screws put in windward?

[@WheatSupreme]

I was lookin for this comment. He mentioned the bad storm and built a giant wind sail. If the storm was strong enough to knock trees over it would be strong enough to rip the screws right out of that fence and send 6 foot floppy metal knives shooting across the property.

My brother in law was a builder and he Always water witched!!! RIP Uncle Lou!! 🙏🇺🇸

You, Haxmeister, are a better person than I.... because there's NO ONE in my family that I like enough to do...... ANYTHING for! There's definitely a place in Heaven reserved for you! I must say, the damage to your place was bad but it looks like you came through better than some areas here in NC! Glad you're ok but I hope you made it through Milton also!!! Take care, be safe and God bless!

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you Jim!

[@Vieweratlarge]

You are a gift. I miss my brother so much who would do anything in the world for me, his sissy. Tell your sister what an absolute blessing it is to have her brother!❤

[@jimthompson3247]

Totally agree with divining rods. Worked to find waterlines and power cables. Old AT&T tech showed me this 50 years ago.

[@Rick_Cavallaro]

I give you my absolute assurance it does not work. James Randi had a $1 million reward for anyone that could demonstrate it under controlled conditions. People were 100% certain they could do it easily. They failed. No one has ever succeeded under controlled conditions.

[@searchingforthetruth]

In our family,we say work smarter not harder! It’s amazing how much we can get done without killing ourselves . Make a plan and follow through.

[@daveelly]

HAXMAN, I love 80s synthwave music. I can't believe you have an album. I'd love to see a video about this. I'll be listening to it tomorrow at work. Also great fence. Wonder if you could do a shed like this.

[@MatthewWorsham-du4ix]

Definitely One Of The Best Of NOT The BEST DIY Video I've Seen.. Probably Don't Have The Courage To Do A Video But If I Did, I Would Steal Some Of Your Stuff.. Thank You For Teaching Me Something Today..

Magnetic levels for the post pounding bro. 👍 Maybe even 2, you wouldn’t have to touch them at all except moving between each new post.

[@pedraw]

Pretty slick. I wouldn't have thought of using metal roofing for fence.

[@DO-hc3le]

Don't think I could afford it.

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

@@DO-hc3lecheapest I’ve found is $2.55/ft! Poles..$90/each 😳💰💵💸

Thank you for finally reading the instructions. My right arm was starting get real sore.

Loved the show brother I'm a fence builder and can say that you really did a nice job on that fence! (Enjoyed watching your work very much!)

Thank you Bradley!

I love the top board. It’s a squirrel walk or run.

[@wihamaki]

Never seen these posts, look like they would be a good way of repairing my existing fence. Now I'm curious as to the cost of all this.

[@GorillaBarber207]

BAD ASS!!! What a great idea. Fast and looks good and lasts.
