How to Build an Aluminium Fence (Like a Carpenter)

[@SubcultureUnlimited]

No way! What a suprise to see the Cape Farewell predatory fence around the bird's sanctuary. Believe it or not. I was one of the two guys who where hanging on the ropes of the side of the cliff and put up that part of the fence. And the one at the other end. It was probably the best 'office' I've ever had. Watching seals playing bellow. And no I didn't get a danger pay for that one. In fact I quit right after as it was a shi*t pay 😀

That fence is beautiful and will last a heck of a lot longer than a wood fence. Nice job.❤❤❤

So nice to see and hear summer while staring out the window at a very Yukon winter. And nice fence.

The whiteboard that you promised! Nice

[@terrytopliss9506]

Nice fence Scott,you quickly got your head round the problems. You didn’t savage to many of the plants and Jess was quite forgiving. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

[@roadie3124]

Jess is amazing 🤩😀

[@katrinabell7684]

A smart fence SBC .. and a lovely garden!🌺💐😎

[@Gundogdogdog]

Great fence and the garden is looking GLORIOUS .

[@Christhecarpenter345]

Looks like you guys have a lovely spot there, an amazing property to grow old on

[@katrinabell7684]

I’ve just watched this episode again .. I don’t know that I saw your completed fence.. it looks smart and fits in with your garden !! Loving your garden Jess .😎

[@Kevin_Rhodes]

Your garden is amazing! The fence isn't bad either.

[@maxkm7446]

The fence looks great guys!

[@michaeldb8477]

Awwh! To ask is to be given. I lamented the lack of Jess and NZ summer visuals and in the very next episode...you provide. It's 0 degrees C here and we just got 3-4 cm of snow through the overnight so it's nice to see the bees and flowers. Golly! My only personal caveat regarding that fence is the plastic film waste. Every single piece seems to come film coated to protect the finish, but by the end... Yes, we try to recycle plastic, but it's the hardest to deal with. Regardless, enjoy the new privacy. And the garden is getting better than ever

[@1stGruhn]

Metal fences are great! They tend to last much longer than wood as well. But be careful to prune anything that grows through the slats. While a wood slab can be swapped fairly easily, metal bends and can distort an entire section.

[@bakey1111]

I think a wooden close board fence would have looked so much nicer and blended better with the surrounding. I have always thought the steps in the fence are not the prettiest to look at whereas a close board fence you can run a string line, but each to their own. Great job as always and I'm glad you like it 👍

[@chrishopkinson8442]

Not sure how much sun you get there, I've replaced fences over here in Australia with white colourbond and it's killed alot of plants along the fencline from the heat reflection. Be interested to see how it goes! You've done a good job though, even with all the accidental plan casualties 🤣

[@octavio2237]

the garden looks fantastic.

[@davidmoynahan9585]

Ideal fence for costal areas over steel. That style with the same look on both sides is often referred to as a Good Neighbor Fence. Probably just needs a wash every year for the sea salt and grime.

[@KeithWebb-cl1ld]

What a beautiful garden you now have

[@silversteel6312]

Of all the beautiful flowers in the beautiful garden, the variety known as Jess is by far the most beautiful 🤗. That’s Valentines sorted Scott😂

[@home-space]

Looks good but may have been more practical in a dark colour. I am a fan of black rough sawn timber fences with a narrow paling, as they recess back in the landscape. I am old school and timber fences can take a lot longer to build but if well done last decades. Guess you could spray paint in the future

[@cv990a4]

New Zealand's phenomenal environment flexing in the video - plants, fruits, flowers of all kinds, bursting out all over. No need for irrigation, seldom a need for a greenhouse. Want to grow something? It usually will in New Zealand.

[@hotbutterwell194]

You wouldn't say that if you ever tried to grow tomatoes along the kapiti north of Wellington. If you grow them outside of a greenhouse, you get a fantastic burst of green vines, but as soon as the fruit starts to set, the plants die from disease. Every single time.

[@deroobj]

I haven't checked out the last few videos but Jess, your gardening is beautiful! Well done!

[@gonzalojacome3586]

Your garden is beautiful Jess.

[@mandyleeson1]

I was thinking, "Thank goodness Jess is there to protect the plants". You did very well to avoid killing most, and soon that fence will make a lovely back drop for all the plants, flowers and trees. 👏🏼

[@annaphillips2166]

Subscriber here 😅 We bumped into you and Jess at lake Tekapo yesterday and all I said was "scott brown here, how are ya " we were so excited to say hi that we forgot to actually have a proper conversation. We didnt want to disturb you guys since you looks busy filmming. Anyways I wish we had actually stopped to say how much My partner and I love the videos ! Fence is looking great!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Cheers! We’ll have a chat next time

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Beautiful finished product, and regardless the extra work, that thing will likely last 20 plus years or more, and look like the day it was installed. Good choice.

[@GlenS123]

Fence looks good, garden is looking awesome! In Wisconsin its warming up, was -10°F, -23°C.... brrrrr...

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Scotty and Jess from Sydney Australia. Very modernistic powder coated fence. The red Deablo saw blades have really caught my attention with the quality tungsten carbide teeth "a little 'hexy' all the same" Gardening gossip Little glass bottles with lids stored in a wooden rack, another fun way to display and label rare seeds saved from the flowers. Calligraphy to give them a vintage image. 🌺🇦🇺

[@perrybrown4985]

You guys are so lucky having peaches and plums. When I was a kid (~60 years ago...) I used to be able to eat lovely plums from the tree in my garden. These days, Sydney is infested with fruit flys and the days of simply having backyard fruit trees are gone 😔 (Well done on keeping these pests out of your part of the world)

[@jimsum]

saw jess at the market a few weeks ago buying plants from that guy. Fence looks good, nice work scott

[@adamlancaster183]

Hi Scott, good to have the regular videos back after the Xmas break. Would you be able to do a channel update? As in, are you looking to take on new projects for other people in the future or are you going to stick to your idea of building something on each continent? Love the videos and always look out for them every Friday here in the UK

[@Nothingstutube]

i enjoy that you continue to say "in this exciting episode". and the timing was funny at 16:09

[@robbiegarscadden2311]

Really nice fence. Ive got metal on my boundaries. Primarilly becasue I have a state house on one side and they will not maintain the fence and metal doesnt need much maintaining. It also wont twist as wooden fences tend to do in the sun. So the extra time and cost at the beginning pays off overall.

[@Remius106]

Good video. THE WHITEBOARD..!! YES..!! and a great demonstration about how to work with existing infrastructure

Looks kind of industrial in that wilderness. Not my fence style for that particular garden. But if you like it or needed that way, fine by me. Looking forward for more stuff.

[@memyselfandeye1234]

Very nice work around Scott .... looks Sharp to. .... i'd a left the post the lenth they where drilled equally spaced holes in each one and fed good quality garden wire throght tentioned it so Jess could grow climbing plant along it .... peace

[@MrTolcher]

Looks incredible. I want one ! 😅

[@hw2508]

Like the fence. I think it is good to work with a different material from time to time. What material are the screws made of? In the end the master gardener comes in to work on the beauty of the place. The whole place really changed over the years. Not only the house but the garden as well. Looks great.

[@barnholbol1262]

Tidy job. Not sure I'm totally convinced about the durability of that system re wind loads etc. I see it has gaps in the palings and you did a good job of the anchor bolts. Then again, it's awesome to see something more aesthetically pleasing than the awful bog standard NZ H3 close-board boundary fence 😂

[@OwenG329]

can we have a tour of the garden!? looks like Jess has done a terrific job :)

[@Spudmurf]

Fence looks great! Wish I did aluminium at my house, I’ve got the same style fence but needs a yearly paint job to keep it tidy. Chunkier posts would be a nice option. Great video

[@U.s.e.r.3493]

Beautiful

[@sspacegghost]

its more work - but its a premium effect - and the thousands we throw at houses sometimes, and the little extra you would outlay on this compared to a normal fence makes a massive difference. Does it make the garden $15K better looking come sale time - yes easy - its a lovely fence.

[@novosib9017]

i never understood this NZ/AUS obsession with "digging out concrete". Yeah, sure, your tough, we all know that... But a perfectly good footing, already in the ground is a very cost effective and practical solution. Glad Scott got the memo.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice fresh fence .. Fit for a prince ….sorry couldn’t resist 😏😏 Looks really nice 🧱👍🏽

[@joeeichelkraut5616]

nice job as usual. i’m just very partial to a beautiful wood look but keeping it up would be hard with a garden that dense. so i understand why you went with the aluminum

[@JohnPatersonAu]

Digging the new whiteboard! 👍

[@TheAVJedi]

Scott/Ray, when you get an overheated battery, throw it in the fridge for 10 minutes. I live in QLD Aus so this is a regular occurrence for me 🥵. Works like a charm every time and gets the pack charging straight away when you pull it out of the fridge. You will get strange looks from the missus but she’ll get used to it 😂

It was a boundary fence.

Hi Scotty Jess & Ray the fence looks great please watch out for Jess's plants. This fence looks great and no need to paint that is excellent . I notice your facial whiskers and gone and you are back to that clean shaven Scotty Brown. Thank you for sharing the constuction of your home with us.

Glad youre happy with it. No way would i have a side or rear boundary fence that had gaps between cladding members.

[@shanegent5804]

Nice, but hope the sun does not shine on it too much…might get sun burnt plants from the reflective UV rays, hope not or else you will be in big trouble with Jess! I had this issue with a new hedge I was trying to establish against a white colour bond fence, but I’m over the ditch in Brisbane with more intense sun I would say compared to my old home land NZ.

[@gordonmacnaughton7263]

ray don't know if that was planned but that was just perfect timing

[@JamieVauxnut1]

That fence aesthetically seems fantastic and in your sheltered well vegetated garden I'm sure its the right choice . I worry about the durability in an open space like my garden with high winds like we had last week here in Scotland 80mph+. Also have a 75kg dog that would probably bend out those slats by accident in a day or two ...

Far better than a timber post and rail fence, the neighbour won't have a bunch of ugly rails to look at for a start.

[@paulmeersa7162]

Nice job on painting the garage! Who choose the colours...?

[@erict7499]

curious why that threaded rod was spinning in the concrete. did you bend over the end of the rod embedded in the concrete or use j-hooks like in a foundation? j-hooks can be spendy and around here they are too big as required by code for those posts. but in the past i've just bent over the end of the rod. i'd be worried that threaded rod will pull right out, without it having a way to stay captured by the concrete. maybe there are nuts and washers down there?

[@mrtnsnp]

Cool timing Raymond: right when talking about damage you throw a bag of concrete into the picture.

[@ombladonschi]

the best thing about aluminium is that it cannot rust having no iron in it, painted or not! it will just be there forever!

[@marktahu2932]

Gotta love Jess' garden, agree about the fence height but it'll blend in and end up being ideal, it's going great both of you.

[@R900DZ]

Is that a property line fence? I’m confused why a fence is even needed there.

[@KyleSturgeon]

Was also wondering this. He seems to get along with his neighbors and there already seems to be existing natural privacy shrubs/trees. Looks great but wonder what the need was.
