An ingenious solution but I've recently done all that for for just the price of a cup of tea. I rang my best mate and got my son out of bed. Between the three of us we lifted out twelve panels in ten minutes. When they were repainted a few days later we put them back. It probably took less time to do than watch this video. 😊

[@Double_Vision]

Thank you Derek. Using the principles you've shown here I've just built (bodged) a hoist of my own for some wooden fence panels and it let me do six panels on my own. Marvelous.

[@davidcornwell3905]

I’ve just fitted some heavy duty panels using this method. There was no way I could have done it as the panels took two people to lift and one person pulling the rope. Ingenious method, it took only 20 mins to build the frame but save hours fitting. It also ensure that everyone was safe, no falling panels in the wind. Can’t thank you enough for this video. Well done Sir. 👍

[@nigelthorne3554]

Absolutely brilliant, I've been trying to think of a method on how to replace old panels, and you've solved it. Well done.

[@eddie1273]

If people like Derek were in charge of Crossrail it would be finished by now. What a great bit of engineering.

[@bentaylor9021]

Can we put Derek in charge of the country or something? This is an inspired idea and so refreshing to see someone willing to share these ideas freely - becoming rarer in today’s society. Derek, you are a very nice man and rather clever.

[@derekmc4936]

Thank you Ben for your comments. It’s nice to be appreciated and all the better if you can help somebody along the way. Once again thank you.

[@joshuapotter8744]

A man who is used to making a plan to get the job done by himself 👍🏼 inspired me to make my own.

[@ehannah9871]

This is fantastic! I'm going to make this. I live alone, have umpteen fence panels to maintain and I dont want to be always asking for help lifting them in and out. I couldn't have come up with this, my brain doesn't work that way. Thank you Derek ❤

[@alpachino468]

Amazing video from an amazing engineer. I'm in my 30s, and I could never envisage building something even close to your this. You, sir, are an inspiration.

[@straighttalknomessing3934]

I don’t think I’d have the energy to do this but wholly agree with this method !

[@JS-qg1ie]

As a landscaper I can wholeheartedly confirm this as a genius idea! Good work sir!

[@derekmc4936]

Coming from a professional, I appreciate the comment, Thank You.

[@JS-qg1ie]

Derek Mc I’ve was looking for some method of getting them in. I did a close boarded fence that backed onto a railway so couldn’t get a decent purchase on the panel to lift it. Windy as hell too and good quality heavy panels. Two of us did it but it was a struggle. It just looks a bit time consuming with your contraption as I’d need to get all the panels out and paint in one hit....but there’s nothing worse than breaking the post whilst putting a panel in.

[@garyd2448]

This is something my farther in-law would have made, engineering at its finest, great work sir!

[@sgiles67]

And thats how its done folks. Best solution yet

[@SIBUK]

You sir are a true genius!!! This is one of them most amazing ideas I have ever seen!

[@tainteddaisie9396]

You Sir are a star!!!!! Just half killed myself trying to lift two fence panels back in after the last two weekend storms....they were heavy and wet got one in after two of us propping ladders at fences and failed completely after sinking 6 inches into mud for the second.........................THANK YOU!!

[@clippo111]

Love this, just what I'm looking for, genius!! 👏

[@steveoutdoorsuk1788]

Genius! 👏 Thank you Derek for sharing your awesome knowledge with us! All the very best. Take care, Steve. 👍👍

[@MrSHAUNE55]

Derek, that was brilliant, get on Dragons den.

[@Merlex430]

Thank you very much for posting this. I have 6 panels to replace in the next two weeks and shall be using your fabulous method. Just need to order the block & tackle and rope.

[@billedge1246]

Fantastic idea. I ordered a replacement 6ft panel from Cocklestorm, which tend to be heavily constructed (and heavier). I used 3.5 x 1.5 inch timber for the frame to cope with the additional weight. The extra height (16ft) and weight meant it was too heavy to lift up the hinged section from the side. So I bought two 2.5 m sections of square aluminum tube and fixed one inside of the other (they are different sizes) to use as a pole to push the hinged section up from the middle. I used a spring doorstop to locate the end of the pole. When you let the hinged section back down (which is actually trickier) you can discard the bottom pole section to keep the lift more under the crossbar (so less leverage). Finally, I lap bolted the crossbar on to the back of the uprights to give me the offset you need for a descent that lines up better with the channels in the posts (Derek used a block screwed on the the crossbar).

[@derekmc4936]

Bill Edge well done bill, sounds like you really though it through. Yours could be called the improved mk2 heavy duty version.

[@katerynajohnson6011]

Do you have any pictures you could share, please Bill. We're just about to begin constructing Derek's hoist and I'd like to understand your modifications to see if we need to do the same.

[@ketchupwitheverythin]

What a clever solution, wish they sold it as a kit at our favourite DIY warehouse.

[@jamaxadventures2068]

Great video and advice - watching a master at work making a heavy job look easy for one. Thanks Derek

[@derekmc4936]

Not sure about the master at work bit, but thank you for the comment, much appreciated.

[@29brendus]

Very clever, and very inspirational. I have 14 panels and I am on my own. I removed one panel by pushing it to the top of the concrete post and then pushing it clear (from my wobbly step ladder), whilst divng away in the opposite direction. Not good, especially as it doesn't solve the problem of getting the panel back in place or doing 13 more panels. So I will make the hoist as recomended or the neighbours will not get their side of the fence panels repaired or painted, and that's no good to anybody. I checked rental companies for a hoist without luck. Thanks and Cheers. Brilliant. And as they say, where there's a will there's a relative! I think there's a market for this idea.

[@have-a-gorepairhero2760]

Engineering at its finest 👏 I have downloaded the plans thank you so much.

[@brandsthatcreatelitter1648]

Literally genius, great rig, I thought a hoist is what I need, you actually made one, hahaa. Gonna try string hand holds, ohhh boy what a job.😭😭🙄🤦‍♀️🤣❤️❤️❤️

Genius, Thankyou

[@royman8889]

Derek, what a very clever and effortless piece of construction, saves breaking your back with two people lifting above their height (especially on a windy day). Any reason why the top pully wheel hook was off-set rather than just drilling a hole in the top bar for the hook? (I guess you could have easily added two support plates either side of the drilled hole to return any lost strength of the cross member or use a block of wood) Expensive buying the wood just to pull up a fence panel, but saying that I've got a lot of panels to do.... Well done!!!!

[@derekmc4936]

Top pully wheel is off-set so that it is directly above the fence panel to give a straight lift.

[@29brendus]

Brilliant idea. How about a bit more details on the materials, uprights, dimensions, hinging, pulley block, costs, etc? Cheers. Oh I've just seen the links, so I assume it's all in there? Thanks.

[@robgill131]

Absolutely superb.. hope you got a patent on your idea.

[@katerynajohnson6011]

At last we've got around to building our own version of this fence lifting contraption.

Hi Derek, just came across your video and I must say the panel lift is brilliant and looks so easy to use, think i will be making on of those, do you have a cut list for the timbers etc that you could send me please, Great job.

[@mattdasilva1085]

I guess you could always mask the concrete?

That was my first thought actually, but I wouldn’t have been able to access the rear of some panels or coat the edges of the panels in the post channels.

[@craigsmith4775]

I had to smile at all the faff would much sooner get my some to give me a hand and would prefer getting fence paint on the gravel boards rather than the house. That said great piece of engineering and if you are on your own looks like it works great well done

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Alternatively, get your neighbour to help you lift it in and out. 30 seconds.

[@Spudd66]

And if you don't have friendly neighbour? follow that thought process and why bother just pay a tradesman every time? Isn't this the whole point of the video for people that choose to or have to do it on their own?
