How to Build a Fenced In Garden | Enclosed Garden Build Plans

[@cliff5240]

Very nice garden and beautiful property!! I built 9 garden beds at the start of covid and added drip irrigation so I never water -- it was a game changer!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

That turned out SOOO beautiful!!! It looks totally professional. If it were mine I would add a bench outside to just sit and admire the garden or perhaps you'll put your Adirondack chairs out there. Bubby looks like such a friendly cat. He always wants to be close by where you're working!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! A bench is a great idea! I’ve already been brainstorming some ideas 😉 Bubby is great company. Sometimes he’s in the way, but I appreciate his enthusiasm to see how he can assist haha.

[@fiercegirldesign1]

This turned out beautifully! When you stain the boards that come in contact with the soil, make sure you use a food safe stain since you’re growing food (versus flowers).

[@robertpilat1685]

a Block of wood and and a clamp will hold your cross posts ,,, Very nice !

[@gmaelder4739]

Oh my gosh I’m so impressed

[@wickedwinnie]

Love this, I've probably watched it 10 times as I'm getting ready to re-fence my garden and plan to follow this style. I love how you keep it simple and don't make us feel like it has to be perfect. Definitely makes me feel less intimidated 😁

[@lauraharvey7424]

Gorgeous ❤❤❤❤ love the fenced in garden area and the arbor’s are adorable❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janishackett5423]

Your projects are always so creative and inspiring for even us novice DIYers. This is another great build!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I love to hear that. Thank you so much for watching and following along 💕

[@DeborahBloom314]

I actually like the spaced out pavers. I'll keep that idea in mind for my own garden

[@loulunetta425]

Very Nice. My tip, if you are going to expand it in the future. When I fenced around my driveway, I used similar construction to your fence but used cedar boards instead of wire. To set the 2x4s, I put wooden screw clamps on the post at the desired height and just laid the 2x4 across them. I screwed in the pocket holes from the top and plugged them. I've also used the clamps as a saw guide to cut a flush top. I wasn't lucky enough to be on the flat.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks for the tips! Sounds like you’ve got a nice set up!

[@artifactartstudio107]

This is so great! Your directions are so clear you make it seem all so simple. Very inspiring!😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I try to keep things as simple as possible so I’m glad you find it helpful!

[@robertevans6481]

Yes here too in south Louisiana,no water needed,the ground already has more then enough.

[@PointOWoodsgal]

This is awesome! I have been trying to decide on a look for a space I'm enclosing. I only have to make two sides - coming out from the corner of my house and turning to my deck. It's for an 18' x 24' space I have that's next to my tiny back deck that's off the kitchen, and I want my veggie garden there. My dad taught me well and even though I'm in my 60s now, this is a project I can tackle with a friend easily. Thank you for showing how it's done!

[@meganharper6566]

You're amazing! My garden heart is green with envy! Beautifully done! :)

[@pteddie6965]

This garden area looks fantastic, Shara. I'm thinking that you and Danny are going to use and enjoy this area for years. Thanks for sharing this project with us.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I sure hope we get lots of years (and fruit!) out of this project. But even if not, I still enjoyed building it haha 🙌😅 thank you so much for watching! I hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@tigger24601]

Such an amazing garden! Thank you for showing how to make it work for you and how to work with what you've got.

[@vlaine73]

looks great! what you could do when setting those long upper horizontal 2x4's is use a scrap piece of 2x4 and clamp it to the 4x4 at the height you want, then rest the 2x4 on top of the scrap and level and attach the opposite side of the 2x4, then just go back, remove the clamp and the scrap piece and attach that side

[@WoodshopDiaries]

That’s a great idea!

[@marck1726]

Well planned and well built, lots of good ideas and cool design.

[@shanaproctor100]

What a beautiful build! Love it.

[@estherfilip3275]

Oh my dear, you have so much finesse in everything you do!❤️

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. Thank you!

[@anonymouscrank]

You are talented. Considering you "eyeballed" this entire project and it looks this impressive--wow!

[@vcherylcollins6290]

I LOOOOVE this so much.❤❤❤ I want to replicate this somehow into my garden, mainly to keep the deer and rabbits away from my plants. Gonna be brave and go for it!

[@Yamat3]

Loved this video. You capture everything I needed including building materials. Also love that you cut the wood as you installed it - this is a common place people add waste to their process that you didn’t run into

[@srikaset]

Oh. I see. All the finishing works will be done later.. before winter comes. You arbour garden is very beautiful and more than perfect, Shara. Cheers!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Yes, I’ll apply a stain later this summer once the wood dries some. Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching!

[@simritjhita6425]

Make sure to put your posts in to where your frost line is or below to make it last, especially if you want a gate. Two feet won't cut it in the northern states

[@viceb7]

So happy I found this channel!! I've been wanting to learn how to build a fence just like this

[@pshaskins1]

I love your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. I’m going to start beekeeping and this is perfect for the area I want to create. Also, I’m rehabbing a house. Your videos have been instrumental in teaching me and giving me confidence. Thank you.

[@brunnie]

The whole project looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing and hope that the grapes, berries, and whatever else is planted does well for you. Until next time... build safe.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I hope so too…crossing my fingers we get some fruit this summer 🙌 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@tk-xc2wg]

You are the best, you are the inspiration to all of us.Thank you

[@GeorgeLoch]

Beautiful work. It looks like a space to spend many hours in.

[@TheZombiePossum]

Looks great! A clamp is a great set of "extra hands" in a pinch.

[@KmK4924]

That is the best looking fenced in garden I have seen on you tube! nice work.

[@johnkelley9877]

This is really impressive looking! Everything looks great and I enjoyed watching this come together. Thanks for sharing this.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@9realitycheck9]

Liked your extra effort with the 2x2s as trim to frame out those squares. Nice overall job. 👍

[@craftsamI8107]

I don't comment much, but I am compelled to do so now! This is incredibly beautifully done! Kudos to you! I love your diligence coupled with simplicity! The use of the phone made me smile! Thank you for sharing your talent/gift!

[@AmandaClarkHOOTIE]

This makes me wish I had a house with a yard. I'm saving this as an idea for when that day comes! Great job!

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

Well I have a house with a small yard but the HOA is a pain!

[@Julz0516]

Goals!! Amazing work! I plan on doing something like this on my new property with a bigger garden space. I cannot wait!!!

[@Ange_Bleu]

Wow you’re such a talented girl 👏🏻

[@megan1950]

This is so pretty. Definitely saving for when I get to build mine. I think I need to substitute the welded wire fence for hardware cloth or something to keep the birds and rabbits out of my blueberries, but it’ll be heavily inspired by this design. Such nice work. You made an instant fan.

[@betterlivingonabudget]

Your fenced garden is gorgeous, love it!!!

[@royandcarihayes396]

This is beautiful! We built a 42x42 enclosed garden a few months back and your garden has inspired me to add ground level flower beds all around the inside! We have several raised beds and a few planters currently. Looking forward to more videos!

[@lynjermey6423]

Looks realloy beautiful.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you 💕

[@sofiachampion2543]

Love it! I knew there were deer given what you were doing. I hope to build a grape arbor with the grapes covering the top for shade and proper residential grape growing. I hoped to put a garden inside. this is a wonderful idea on how to accomplish it in the center of my yard. The grapes have to be away from house and neighbor tree or they will destroy whatever they come in contact with. This year my garden looks like your beginning lol. We have had to remove the clay soil to get anything to grow and then had to cover it with burlap to block some of the heat and sun. At times I water it to create a steam cooling system. Climate change has been challenging. I hope to build what you have shown this fall so it is ready next spring. thank you so much!

[@MsLori1973]

I love it. This is exactly what i want in my back yard😊

[@KaikalaMoon]

Dang it (Shara)! I am so impressed and inspired. Girl PoWeR! I tremendously enjoyed watching you make this beautiful specimen. Helped hubby measure and dig posts for fence years ago and broke out in hives. Still don't know what from. Cleared a lot of brush is all I know. Bout to send this to my mom. We may have to replicate this joint.😚

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, that was a lot of work but you make it look easy. Both Bubby and I appreciate your efforts. The end result really makes your artistic talents shine. We've been blessed with a couple of days of rain here so my carport project is temporarily on hold. I think the sun will shine this afternoon with cooler temperatures so I'll be back at it. I've been thinking I need a garden bench in my garden so I can watch the fruits of my labors grow. I wonder what that should look like? (hint hint) Thanks for Sharing!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! That’s so kind. Send some rain our way when you’re done with it! 😅 we are hoping to get a little tomorrow. I’m tired of carrying water cans to water our gardens 🤣 funny thing-I’ve been dreaming up some garden bench ideas lately 😉 maybe I’ll share one soon. Good luck With your carport project. I hope you have a great weekend!

[@jeffcarter1641]

Thank you for posting this. I'm looking to do something very similar to my existing raised beds.

[@mwoody4560]

looks great. i made garden boxes similar to yours with cedar fence pickets too. mine lasted 12 years before they needed replacing. thats under the wet pacific northwest conditions. this is great timing as i am getting ready to replace arbors that separate my front yard from the back. i’m going to incorporate many of your techniques in my build. 🎉

[@WoodshopDiaries]

12 years is pretty good! And the other good thing is that cedar fence pickets are pretty inexpensive to replace 🙌 I’m glad you enjoyed the designs. Happy building! 😊

[@brewster3987]

I love the proportions of this design; it all flows so well! You did an excellent job keeping things from being "zig-zaggy" (I'm totally putting that word in my vocabulary 😁). I can see why it's one of your favorites. I would not have thought to utilize the paver base and the spaced pavers the way you did - that turned out really well and I may have to "borrow" that idea for a future project. I will have to admit that I'm slightly skeptical about whether your enclosure will discourage deer... perhaps Kentucky deer aren't quite as adventurous as South Carolina deer - our deer don't care a fig about our four-foot fences!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So happy I can help add some more “fun” words to your vocabulary 🤣 I’m full of made up words I can share 😅 To be honest, we had ordered a ton of paver base for a turf project that didn’t work out and I thought…this is a great way to get rid of it 😆 I’m just glad we had somewhere to put some of it. We will see about the deer. So far so good 🤞 Ky deer are pretty skittish. We may hand some wind chimes or something to make noise out here and I’m betting they’ll get spooked.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Looks nice. I have raised bed’s but I like your design better. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@debiallen4053]

Beautiful! Love it! I'm thinking about one arbor in back , one In front, since my garden will have rows of beds on either side. I'll be planning tonight. Wanted to do something with my garden and as always you just happen to be creating the perfect answer to my dreams. Ty so much. This is the perfect idea, especially with many dee and black bears in my area northern lower Mich. I can always count on my favorite builder inspire me. Ty.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. I’m so happy this inspired you! Good luck with planning and building your own-an entrance in the front and back both is such a great idea too! I really appreciate you watching and following along!

[@chriscarmack1016]

Awesome job. I need to build one to keep my chickens out.

[@jennifersatchell3388]

You're an inspiration

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Your garden is absolutely beautiful! Wow!!! Very nice Shara! This was a great project. Plus, Bubby definitely approved! lol…. Thanks for sharing this one…. Have a nice weekend!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! Bubby showed up in the background of this video so many times 🤣 he kept checking up on me and trying to see how he could get involved. Lucy stayed on the porch in the shade like a smart dog haha. I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well and thanks so much for watching!

[@lovejones7545]

Totally awesome Garden Build! You guys rocked it out. The pavers takes it to another level for sure.👍🏾💯

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I’m just glad I had somewhere to put the pile of paver base I had bought for another project that didn’t work out 😆 I’m really happy it worked out so well!

[@AIML2065]

THANK YOU.. and using Phone was amazing idea :)

[@MarayaCraya]

Thank you so much for the instructions!

Espectacular, y hermoso diseño, saludos desde jujuy Argentina

[@danielluna7648]

That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

[@DMAG-3200]

Hey Shara, that was a lot of work. But it did looked worth it. Came out beautiful. Nice job. Take a break and have a great weekend.👏👏👏

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! It was definitely a lot of work but I’ve been wanting to do it for a while so it was definitely time and effort well spent. I had a lot of fun building and yes, I’m definitely ready for a a break 😅 I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! 🙌

[@sheilaanderson912]

Great job! None of us is perfect so thank you for keeping it real. :)

[@thefunkyt]

Wow! What a great job! You've inspired me to do this!!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Happy building! 🙌 I really enjoyed building this one 😎

[@amberpolk]

Thank you for this video. This is almost exactly what I want for our garden. Now we have a reference !

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! Happy building!

[@TheSouthernLady777]

Thanks for doing part of the work in sport shorts and boots, like a real girl pro! It looks fantastic!

[@juniorgc8]

Thanks for the step by step looks super cool great work

[@khristamckinney2203]

👏🏻😁👏🏻😊👏🏻😁👏🏻😊 You did an excellent job!!!! I'm looking for ideas on fixing up our property & adding a garden & you've given me inspiration!!! 👏🏻😁👏🏻😊 Stay blessed

[@Lutzboater]

Y'all did an incredible job making your garden. I can imagine how wonderful it will look when the plants and berries mature. You may want to enter your strawberries in next year's Strawberry Festival here in Plant City, Florida. Well done!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! It’s already looking better now that the grapevines are taking off (it’s been about two weeks since I made this video 😅). I can’t wait to see what it’s like at the end of the summer! I really appreciate you watching and i may have to venture down that way-a strawberry festival sounds like a good time haha! Have a great weekend!

[@snodir]

​@Shara Woodshop Diaries please make a video about how the garden is doing. Im very interested to see more about it. Thank you

[@WoodshopDiaries]

It’s doing great. It’s only been about a month since we built it but everything is growing and starting to produce fruit. Looks even better now with all the greenery. Not sure what you want to know about it?

[@dawnmyers9454]

You are amazing! The garden looks great!

[@timothycreasy2161]

That turned out real nice Ms. Shara. Good luck keeping Bubbie and the deer out. 👍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! Hoping it works…or at least helps 😅 haha!

[@samanthagriffin2094]

So beautiful and such a inspiration

[@karenwarehime5494]

That's gorgeous, Shara!

[@farmervee_yt]

Beautiful fence and garden.

[@fredericksworkshop4595]

I like your "head holding" method, I use a clamp to do this. Put a clamp on the far end just below where the board will get attached and rest the board on the clamp and attach other end.

[@Blue_Azure101]

This is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikecolo2158]

I was just about to start painting the bedroom ceiling when I noticed this video had been uploaded. I needed a little break anyways! Absolutely fantastic. The wood and wire look so good together and your design is sweet. I am planning to make some panels with the welded wire and wood for a temporary moveable fence that gives the pups a little more running room but looks nice too. Best line of this video, "if it looks straight, it is straight ". Thanks for another video and inspiration!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hey, any excuse is a good one if it means putting on a little painting haha. I appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it! Oh yeah, that’s a great idea for a temporary fence! I’m sure the dogs will love it 😎 Good luck with your painting! Hopefully it goes smoothly and quickly and you can enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙌😊

[@lovehealthmarket]

So glad I found your channel. These are projects I'm trying in my backyard. Just getting used to Ryobi tools and hoping I can do this alone (smaller scale too). Thanks so much for sharing!! Lovely garden!🏡

[@geraldmacy5030]

Very nice job! I like it. I have to build something like this to keep the deer out of our garden.

Really beautiful Shara!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! 💕💕

[@anthonybarbour7013]

If you ever find yourself needing to hold up a long board like that again, use a clamp on the end that needs support . You can just rest it on the bar of the clamp .

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I never think about things until after the fact haha. 🤣
