Fencing Mistakes (Board Fence)

[@thekentuckian0054]

My girlfriend and I are planning on putting up a large fence on my property come tax time. We are thoroughly doing the research. This video is very helpful. Deserves more likes.

Thanks for taking the time to share. I've just bought some property and am ready to do some fencing. Your video has pushed my thoughts in the right direction.

[@texaswoc3461]

Thanks for sharing your mistakes. I have learned mine the hard way as well. Trying to do it right this time. But, as you said, it’s expensive to fix mistakes.

[@rosielee6390]

Great video! Gotta show this to my cheap husband 😀

[@YanasaTV]

All husbands are cheap... how do you think we had the content for the video

[@gmanwrangler]

Thanks for the great advice and ideas. Current lumber prices are still high yet beginning to recede as production decreases and the big Box stores sell off existing inventory. The one point you make about patience is so true. A project someone may have planned a year or so ago may no longer be viable due to the cost factor, but as time goes on hopefully things get better.

The video I didn't know I needed. Thank you!

Very helpful info! TY

Try to use premium 5/4 or inch and a quarter thick 16’ boards, with 5/6 pressure treated posts. Always put a 4” screw on each edge of the board at each end, and a nail between the two screws. It will give your fence great strength.

We cut all of our own posts. We do not have a saw mill we use our Chain Saws. We make square posts always. They are much easier and look cleaner and nicer when painted up with creosote. We use 2x6 boards that are treated and then painted with creosote as well. All fencing takes work and will always need repairs. For us it is replacing fence posts. It rains about 6-8 feet of rain here a year and it causes the posts to rot off in the ground. So we use a hard wood post and paint it with creosote. Kind of like using Black Locust where you are (which is what we used in South Carolina before we moved to Chile). We are getting ready to do a hog or mesh fence. Not my favorite but economical for running through the woods. Jim in Chile

AWESOME video ...learned a lot ...Thanks from Los Angeles California

[@YanasaTV]

Thanks, glad it was helpful

[@maxbouvatte]

man I wish I had property looks nice

[@knottide64]

Use a hydraulic sprayer to paint your fence. I put one on my utility trailer behind my Kobuta RTV, with some 55 gallon drums of paint and paint about 4,000 foot of fence per day. Just make sure you store the drums using an air hose. If not the first half of the drums will have all the pigment.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

One of the biggest mistakes people make in building a post and rail fence is putting the rails on the wrong side of the posts.

[@DwayneBussell]

It's best to put them on the inside for cattle, they tend to lean on the fences sometimes.

[@MojoPup]

Depends on the use. Putting up a post and rail fence to keep dogs and small animals in can be on the outside especially if you have woven wire behind the cross boards and it's also for looks. Livestock fencing crossboards have to be on the animal side of course.

[@yulmacordero7689]

Great job

[@BoomhauerWorldwide]

Dip your posts in a barrel of waste oil prior to dropping in the ground. Or creosote if you've got it. I've still got board fencing I put up in the early 90's. Been painted twice since then. Alkatraz brand paint.

[@YanasaTV]

Alcatraz sounds permanent lol

[@jessehaines9800]

This is a great method to preserve wood, it’s how railroad ties are done. Last for years. Flip side it’s a tad toxic and there can be a few safety concerns.

[@lisaball2760]

I heard it was best to mix 1/2 waste motor oil with 1/2 diesel fuel. I am experimenting with this now.

[@denieceg100]

Great video. Thank you so much!

[@YanasaTV]

Thank you!

[@yulmacordero7689]

Very good morning.

[@Konigkev]

Thank you for the tips👍

[@LaRa-youknowit]

We are building a 4board fence, with wire and want it painted black. All the paints say let wood weather for 1-3 months before painting. So we cannot paint before hanging. So I was thinking about using black wire so the paint will not show on the wire. Thoughts?

[@spikemorbid7159]

Get your supplies from a farm and feed store. And talk to a farmer because I'm sure they'd give you some advice.

[@jarrottguillory3640]

my husband would love your jacket. What brand is that?

[@ladylyonteeth3952]

Very good insights and helpful tips. What wood is that?

[@camillechallis3335]

Very helpful! Only one I’ve seen on how NOT to do it.

[@YanasaTV]

Oh... lol I show all sorts of videos on what not to do! Sometimes I feel like that I formation is just as useful!

[@benink5690]

It's needs to be able to easily fill if it's horses. Just gotta keep building thme

[@brianwideman2342]

The boards are meant to face towards livestock for STRENGTH .

[@robertbutler8004]

@brianwideman2342 get real if you are in the habit of rotating your paddocks and most people are then you are going to have animals grazing on either side of those boards I bet you never thought of that.

[@realtorjames1]

Can you provide link to your fence building video?

[@vitomccartney]

How about southern states?

[@johnreinburg859]

Great video, I am getting ready to put up my fence across my property. In regards to painting the fence, I will do this after the fence has been installed. I don't neccessary want to "paint" it but paint a black protective coating similar to what Home Depot has for horses. Do you have any suggestions?

[@YanasaTV]

We use a product called Fence Coat Pro. It is a thick black paint (you can’t spray it) but it lasts a long time.

[@glenparks5175]

I use black driveway sealer it's cheap

[@schwinglo]

Do you feel that, if you had used screws instead of nails on the boards, you would have been able to avoid the use of 1"x4" ?

[@YanasaTV]

No, we used screws on part, they still pulled out where there was no 1x4

[@schwinglo]

@@YanasaTV That's interesting. Thank you for your reply. Do you know whether the boards were treated for outdoor use, and if so to what standard? I ask, because I haven't heard of this problem here in New Zealand, and I notice that most American fences I've seen also use your method of adding a reinforcing strip. For reference, here are the Australian & New Zealand Standards: www.tpaa.com.au/faq/

[@finalfencing]

@@YanasaTV 4" inch landscape screws wont peel, bend, break or lift ;o)

[@leec48s45]

Are those 1x6 or 1x4 boards?

[@elitenutrition879]

Why don’t you use 2 x 6

[@wesley3flex]

Did you use concrete for the posts?

[@YanasaTV]

Yes

[@3sidesofeve711]

7:27 put strip ties on..

[@ryanbruh752]

Are the boards 1 by 6s?

[@desmondmckee2136]

So 15 minutes to say buy quality treated timber,

[@Qysdjjfdkm]

Good info, leave the politics and anti-vax nonsense off your page though

[@knowthycell]

Are you Quad vaxxed?
