Fencing: The Ultimate Guide | Gates from Scratch (2 of 3)

[@DatumCAD]

EVOMS - Great source for information. When you are approaching a DIY job and have little or no experience in the task, this type of guidance (i.e. being able to actually SEE the theory and techniques being applied) is extremely valuable. KZbin put to its best use, and a great example of one persons learning curve shortening that of others. Thank you.

[@pilotrobinson]

EVOMS - both your garden building and this fencing series are very well explained and presented. Thanks

[@miffer1979]

EVOMS - Enjoying this series as much as I did the garden room build. Always very detailed which is great.

[@t.t.6497]

EVOMS I didn't think I'd enjoy the gates videos as much as your others, but actually so far I have. Given me some ideas of my own project. Thanks.

[@mattridler377]

EVOMS love how in depth your vids are. Keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Gizzer3010]

You’re so good at explaining each step and I’m needing to replace part of my fence and twin gates. Other YTers just say “this is how”, but then don’t explain why. Your explanations mean that I can make my projects based on my situation. Thank you :)

[@AliDymock]

That’s great that they resonate with you!

[@trainhockeysmart]

EVOMS - Really useful video as always Ali. My partner and I have just bought our first house so I'm finally able to put all I learn from your videos into practice. Thanks

[@tomhomewood8270]

EVOMS. Loving the mini series on your garden fence project Ali. I'm glad to see you are putting in as much detail as you did with the garden room videos 👍

[@carlburns1728]

EVOMS - Love your diligent approach to DIY, looking forward to part 3.

[@JohnHavord]

EVOMS - great video as always. Like the fact, that you're honest about your mistakes, so we can all (hopefully) avoid them.

[@ctommo87]

EVOMS. Please keep making these, they are invaluable to the even more casual DIY er!

[@bockersjv]

EVOMS. Did double gates fit your garden 6 years ago. That have me confidence to go onto bigger projects. The posts I bought had a groove sawn in I assume to prevent further splitting. Was amazed when doing my research that so many guides had the compression brace timbers running the wrong way offering no support whatsoever. Looking forward to the final part.

[@AliDymock]

So true, I looked up a local fencer before doing this project and there was a picture of the brace running the other way. Nah, I'll do it myself. When the brace runs the other way it's called a 'tension brace' which does work if you are building with green wood. As the wood dries out it pulls the bottom latch side upwards but all timber we use nowadays is kiln dried so unless you are a using a wire, it's generally wrong.

[@AdamJBartlett88]

EVOMS - just finished my garden room thanks to this channel.

[@ace6479]

EVOMS - This would be a great prize to win, as I am about to start my garden building project (A physiotherapy room for my brother who has cerebral palsy) within the next few weeks, I was quoted over £25000 by a company to build one to my specifications which is simply out of my price bracket (I'm a carer), then I found your build series and thought I would build it myself following your instructions, I have zero experience in building anything and no power tools to work with at the moment and I have just purchased a hammer, hand saw, and a spirit level set. Thanks for taking the time to showcase your build and giving us novices the confidence to build our own garden room : )

[@YorkshireGuitarDan]

EVOMS Starting my garden office build later in the year. Using your vids every step of the way. Many thanks! 👍

[@telsaw892]

EVOMS - Another great video at just the right time for building a shed door. Thanks.

[@AliDymock]

Hey guys! It's good to get a first giveaway for the channel. Let's call this an early 25k subs celebration 🎉. It's 230V. I'll use a random name generator to choose the winner and reveal it in a future video. Good luck! To be clear this, this isn't a sponsorship or anything but I've written a bit more in the description for those interested, plus there's a 5% discount code for all of Evolution tools 👍

[@andynorthway6388]

EVOMS - The garden office is almost clad and now moving on to building a fence so really useful to have these videos

[@martinpapps5284]

EVOMS loved your garden room series and enjoying this one too, right balance of entertainment and information for anyone looking to tackle projects themselves like me! Saw would be very handy for that!

[@DECBAAH]

EVOMS halfway through my garden workshop build, your videos are a godsend!

[@gillyp4668]

EVOMS - Been following since the garden room series. Brilliant channel. Glad your back.

[@rickyr7007]

EVOMS - Always frightens me when KZbin seems to know what I’m looking for. I’ve been watching lots of garden house videos, but I have a project to move the garden fence/gate forward so my side door is in the garden and not the drive. I haven’t researched or watched any videos regarding this, so saw part two which caught my eye. My plan is to put a 25/75 gate for flexibility. Great video 👍🏼

[@markmilton94]

EVOMS - Planning to build a garden room as a home office. Watched your garden room videos which have been very useful for planning out how to build my own

[@glynrs2147]

EVOMS Just planning my workshop and garden room projection. A mitre saw is going to be a necessity. Lots of inspiration and ideas from your previous build series. I know even may tackle a new gate too!

[@DanHPRltd]

EVOMS - yes, agree with others that you’re very good at explaining the process. I probably won’t be building a gate or fence anytime soon but loved the garden room series!

[@paulharding2212]

EVOMS - Good tip about going steeper than 45 degrees. I had always thought it should only be 45 degrees. Thanks very much I will use that with the work I am planning.

[@nahladel]

EVOMS - thanks Ali, for this and all the detail and lessons you're passing on to us DIYers. May your channel and success continue to grow. Cheers.

[@danieljgwallace195]

EVOMS. I love the detail you go into in all your videos, your garden room series is my go to videos whilst I’m planning a workshop 👍

[@jcoael12]

EVOMS - been loving and watching every video since the first garden workshop video

[@richardbenwell8168]

EVOMS Really enjoying this series. I love the fact you recycled the existing post. I used a cheap table saw for half lap joints on my gate, but it’s tough doing the laps at the midpoint.

[@tracynesbit4379]

EVOMS There’s nothing like the seal of approval from your significant other. This would be invaluable for the retaining sleeper bank, workshop renovation and chicken coop we are going to build. Not forgetting saving our elbows. Great content.

[@philipjones9297]

EVOMS I am so jealous of the way your garden backs out into the woodlands ❤️ Nice job on the gates 👍

[@viper7869]

Really excellent! Well worth a watch! Like the fact that things don’t always go to plan as they often don’t ! 🙏🏼

[@AliDymock]

Glad you enjoyed Peter. Indeed, I'm not sure whether professionals have quite so many issues but hopefully it's encouraging to others that most errors can be solved :)

[@neilsomers5644]

EVOMS Another great video. I always like how you include your mistakes and how you fixed the issue. Makes me feel better when I make an error knowing I'm not the only one. Looking forward to more in your series.

[@newlinkdirect]

EVOMS Love all your videos, best bit is they show you don't have to be scared of DIY. Plus there well explained..... I'll be starting my Garden office late this year.

[@AliDymock]

Exactly. Mistakes happen, but nearly all can be solved with a bit of thought!

[@davidbutler2540]

EVOMS - I really enjoyed the garden room office build. I look forward to your house developments.

[@iikilledkenny6508]

This is the best most well explained video I have yet to find. Thank you!

[@AliDymock]

So glad you like it. I'm secretly quite proud of my gates, they've held up well so far :)

[@richardthomson1283]

Evoms. Loved the garden room series now watching the fence series, brilliant as ever.

[@sjbykerchick]

EVOMS - Loving the content. Can’t wait for the last part in the fence/gate building series.

[@deanoh6414]

EVOMS - Never mind your capabilities (which are impressive), it's the sheer energy that amazes me.

[@AliDymock]

You know, I think it just comes across that way in video, I really wouldn't describe myself as high energy or super productive, actually I find focus and productivity quite a struggle!

[@lukek4516]

EVOMS - really enjoying this series. Very thorough as always!

[@vishshah]

EVOMS - I'm building the exact same double doors for my workshop. Really well timed video. Thanks!

[@stuartpoulton3474]

EVOMS - Another informative video. I've got a gate to replace, feeling more confident that my approach will work now with the hints from this video.

[@blueangelstudios]

EVOMS - Watched all your work Ali, the Garden room was extremely informative. So this Vid is all EVO!.. EVO-lution and EVO-stik.. Lol... Fantastic grounds of your new house and tonnes of potential for building content for us to enjoy. Cheers Ali. Chris Jones 👍

[@RussellJones144]

EVOMS - your videos have been a godsend as I'm currently building a garden room/shed, very useful indeed!

[@Pea-pod]

EVOMS - just what I need to build my garage doors. Thank Ali

[@pucbaldwin]

EVOMS - Another great series. Thanks Ali.

[@lvrb]

I enjoy the approach you take in explaining each project. Well done. EVOMS

[@ceepeepee82]

EVOMS - your doing a great public service thank you for content/inspiration

[@JohnWilsonOnline]

EVOMS - Thanks Ali, constantly quality content with so much detail. Keep it up!

[@JamesKooper]

EVOMS Great videos, been watching since the garden room, and now this pops up along with the gate video just as I need to do the same in a couple of weeks

[@fazstar4913]

EVOMS started my garden room build following watching your series. Love your videos, already looking forward to part 3 of the fencing vids

[@ianhorner9978]

EVOMS excellent series of video’s my ‘go to’ for great content.

[@mattpage9451]

EVOMS - thanks for doing this! Would be a god send for the planned garden room build.

[@bengregory6891]

EVOMS Always look forward to your videos, expertly explained and narrated

[@AliDymock]

Thanks Ben!

[@Matt-ee8ij]

EVOMS At 2:06, the reason this post had a big split in it is because the pith (centre) of the tree is in that post. When buying timber try to avoid buying any with the pith in, its more likely to split and warp. Great video!

[@AliDymock]

Good knowledge! I’ll have a look at the other post and see what kind of cut they gave me.

[@ianpickard4472]

EVOMS Thanks for the workshop series. Very informative.

[@brandnewdave]

EVOMS - Going to attempt to build a small garden room soon. This would certainly speed things up a bit and (hopefully) improve my sawing accuracy!!

[@neilreynolds4799]

EVOMS - Brilliantly timed series as I'm about to launch into fencing around our extension to our kitchen garden. I watched fencers at the local building site putting up fences and making it look very easy. But your series actually tells me what I really need to do! Thanks.

[@TimAyers]

EVOMS - A new mitre saw would definitely help with my garden build!

[@hmscatman]

EVOMS. Another great video Ali. Love the post extension, it will soon become less obvious with weathering.👍

[@project3430]

EVOMS - thanks for this series Ali, really helpful as I am about to embark on a similar project. Great that you mention mistakes you make along the way so others can avoid - top class !

[@chrismehta4799]

EVOMS Great set of videos. House hunting at the moment and one of the criteria is definitely a garden suitable for me to have a go at building my own garden room!

[@martinmedlycott3003]

EVOMS- great series and lots of great tips and info.... planning new fencing myself, just need a good mitre saw to help with the job!

[@andyfry8034]

EVOMS High quality in depth content as we've come to expect. I don't even need to build a fence and I'm enjoying it 😂

[@AliDymock]

Haha, thanks Andy!

[@nobotshere8364]

EVOMS - Garage gym build about to begin my stud work journey. Really found your channel massively helpful. Particularly the insulation and stud work on the summer room build you did. Thanks - keep great content coming

[@dsobko]

EVOMS - love how detailed each video you make is. Have watched your workshop series over and over - I'm about to start building a small shed as practice run for building our garden home office

[@zakPUS]

EVOMS. Always spot on info and entertaining at the same time. Great job 👍

[@baxterboy23]

EVOMS. Building the fence and gate is just like life in general.. It's all a learning curve bro. 👍🤓

[@stuartcrawley7243]

EVOMS - and many thanks for the informative content which has me feeling I could possibly tackle some stuff I would previously have considered beyond me

[@312855b]

EVOMS so happy seeing what you are up too ! keep up the good work

[@andyrose1987]

EVOMS - really enjoying this and your previous garden room series. Have taken plenty of tips away especially from the garden room and hope to put some of them to use in my upcoming garage conversion project

[@jg_homecreations]

EVOMS currently planning my garden room/workshop. Your videos have been invaluable!

[@rich_freeman]

EVOMS - another good series, Well done Ali. Please go back and finish the Garden Room series though! I need your theory and practical info on how you did your cladding

[@cwocko1991]

EVOMS - awesome series so far looking forward to the final episode!!

[@bertiebinges200]

The video equivalent of Ronseal - does exactly what it says on the tin. Very matter of fact. Even covering the mistakes that we all make. Like it! 😁

[@robwhite3636]

EVOMS - your'e doing a great job and have an excellent delivery in terms of theory and practical

[@ArifUK]

Nice to see you back. I definitely will be doing a side gate build.

[@lisaupton4814]

EVOMS - Thank you for a great video lesson on adding to a post height and building your own gate. You’ve helped me on how to build a good strong shed base for my beach hut project, and what bolts to use to secure to the dense blocks (still yet to buy the bolts, but thank you again for link and responding to my message). This is my next job as my gate posts are rotten. The EVO Mitre Saw would help me enormously as only have a good old fashioned hand saw.

[@MrIR_warrior]

EVOMS - excellent walkthrough as usual!!

[@waterbuoy9121]

EVOMS - Found your channel last weekend and have since binged watched the whole of the garden room series as we are currently clearing the ground to build one in our own garden, albeit with a pitched roof. Admire your attention to detail and the research that you do, and enjoyed watching your skills evolve as the project progressed. Like most posters would love the EVO saw but, for now, the content of your videos is the most important thing - keep 'em comin'!

[@caskwith]

EVOMS as usual great detail and explanation in the videos, also really glad you are continuing on to other topics now the garden room is basically complete.

[@DVerweij]

EVOMS - Cheers from the Newcastle/Gateshead area! Learning a lot and looking forward to apply it once I get my first house (in progress!)

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

EVOMS. Great stuff, Ali. I think I'm gonna wander down memory lane and have another look at the Garden Room series. It was only last year I built mine but it seems so long ago...! Best aye!

[@markyandrew39]

EVOMS, Thank you for your videos, very informative and a pleasure to watch.

[@Mkeee]

EVOMS perfect timing on these videos as I am currently at the start of the same fencing project

[@jonny4k4]

EVOMS - another very informative video and the new house looks awesome!

[@ScottTheSlipper]

EVOMS - just love the details you go into in your series, keep them coming 👍

[@exmoorbeast9769]

EVOMS - This video is great, I've been following you since you first started.... I was going to go for a garden building (How I originally found your channel) but opted to convert half of my garage (preserving valuable garden space!)! That said, I am doing some fencing and making my own gate in the next month or so so this video is SPOT ON!. Love your technical explanations mate. Very engaging and encouraging - Keep up the good work

[@nealwright5622]

EVOMS - Just about to make myself a gate, really enjoy your clear and comprehensive explanations

[@ajayhomer]

EVOMS with this I'd finally have no excuse for not replacing on my own fence :). Great video as always

[@lukea526]

EVOMS - Your videos are amazing!! They're really in depth with great explanations. I'll be using your videos for my garden room and fence this summer!! Thanks for the hard work, keep it up.

[@XRP-GOAT]

EVOMS Can't wait for next garden room vid. Keep 'em coming Ali. 👍

[@owainstravels3381]

EVOMS lots of neat ideas here. Hats off to you

[@gallilao0111]

EVOMS This would be perfect timing to help build my timber framed outbuilding😁. You’ve inspired me to build my own external doors too - perfect tutorials, thank you.

[@AleksanderZaryczanski]

EVOMS - great video, as usual! Especially appreciate the info in the video description!

[@MrMcFyfey]

EVOMS. Great video Ali! I need to replace a sagging back gate, and this has given me the confidence to attempt it myself.

[@richardrees7668]

EVOMS, really like your videos they are very easy to follow, im about to start an outside building project and found your step by step guide very helpful, it answered alot of questions I had.

[@AW99017]

EVOMS! Love the vids, I keep referring to the garden Room series as I plan my own workshop/man cave!

[@craigmorris3941]

EVOMS - Another great video Ali, thank you.
