Instead of pounding them in on an angle, forcing it to fit where it doesn't fit.. cut one slot deeper so you can easily angle the boards in, then tap in a spacer block to fill the gap.

Natural bend (crown) should always be facing up in all construction. You can see a few spots through the fence that are wider, it’s because the lower board the crown is facing down.

Will work but not recommended. Posts need to be set into the ground for a fence. What you described is good for something like a deck where you have lateral support at the top of the posts. On a fence it comes from the posts being 4 feet in the ground. I really hope you used steel bases with a long sleeve on it that go at least 6 inches up the post. Still won't be as strong as this fence.

[@MrThe1234guy]

Everybody's got a recommendation

[@MoonyWych]

@@nowerries i believe youre exaggerating the difference or misunderstanding their response. a good 1.5-3ft bed of properly mixed concrete not just pouring in cement will work wonders. and metal shoe that the post connects about 5inches or so into is never snapping at that joint. its about mass and size of foundation, not JUST length. on that note, their foundation is too shallow in the video. putting wood directly into the ground is fine, it can last 10-25years depending on your concrete mix and whether you have drainage gravel underneath

[@lalani888ARTblue]

The design allows for a quick fix a few years down the road if the boards twist real bad but even if they do it will add character

A router bit would likely get scorched after doing one side, that's a lot of material. They probably marked the cut out area, used a circular saw on a few passes, and then dug out the remaining material with a chisel.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

In Costa Rica they build homes like that, but they have concrete posts with grooves and prefab concrete panels that slide in. The interior and exterior walls are done the same way, then they come pour the floor. It's cheap and pretty quick, in a week they go from a clear spot to having walls and the floor done, and the whole thing can be done in 2-3 weeks including the metal roof with steel holding it up. Later people put in tile or whatever to finish it and they have some cheap ceiling options that kinda snap together.

​@@pathunter7003 👆

[@BugJuiceFlavor]

Traditional fencing works, though. This contraption is all show and uses a lot more wood. Dry packing post holes is nowhere near as strong as mixing it with water first, and that's a lot of material being held in place especially at that height...the posts would need a pretty deep hole depth. Also, the bottom is questionable...especially around the post. Replacement probably in 12 years. The horizontal boards will be very wavy after 30 days and the screw spacing will make it look worse.

[@budmartin5701]

​@@BugJuiceFlavor you hit the nail on every point. Hopefully those holes are deep enough. Didn't look to wide either. That fence is pretty high and heavy with the solid fencing. That's a lot of weight. I think a board on board would have been a better idea. As the wet pressure treated wood dries and shrinks it would still hide any gaps

What everyone is saying is that when the boards dry out they're going to shrink up about a quarter of an inch so by the time each board shrinks up a quarter you're going to have a half an inch of gap between the boards which will give you plenty of airflow.

[@donnahector8576]

Beautiful do you have the plans to make I would like the plans if possible thanks in advance 🙏

[@HomeGrownPyro1]

Not an actual plan but a materials guesstimate I just wrote up for another commenter above. • If you want the same length of fence as in the video you will need - (6) 6x6”x12ft pressure treated post $50/ea. =$300 • 5/4”x6”x12ft Pressure treated deck boards $9/ea. ( space posts at 6’ and you can cut these in half and get 2 rows per board.(20 rows per “panel” so (10) boards cut in half per panel) = about $100 per panel. $100X6 panels = $600 total in deck boards. • Quickcrete fast setting 50lb bags $7/ea. (depending on the depth of your posts determines how many bags you need per hole). Take a lot more if you live where it gets cold in winter because then you need to set the post below frost level or else frost heaving will destroy the fence in quick order. It’s 36” deep where I live… so to be safe a lot of guys dig down 42” below grade and set posts there. But I’d guesstimate atleast 3-5 bags per post hole. so say you use a min 3bags per post at $7ea is $21 per hole x 6 holes = $126. • Exterior grade screws 5lb box is $50/each. Total approx material cost - $1,076

If money isn't an a problem, it definitely looks great and is totally customizable for height. I would be curious how you would do this on a slope though... Maybe a wider board on the bottom cut at an angle so the bottom side matches the slope while leaving the top level?

What if they nailed some 1x4's in an X pattern to help with warping??? Basically each section has a huge X on its face. Or maybe one going from top left to bottom right on the front. Then the back side have one running the opposite

Looks amazing, and very expensive😕 Does anyone have a quick list of needed materials and approximate cost/ price calculations for this off section by any chance ( plus minus few dollars, based on average prices in US resources)? Thank you 😊

• If you want the same length of fence as in the video you will need - (6) 6x6”x12ft pressure treated post $50/ea. =$300 • 5/4”x6”x12ft Pressure treated deck boards $9/ea. ( space posts at 6’ and you can cut these in half and get 2 rows per board.(20 rows per “panel” so (10) boards cut in half per panel) = about $100 per panel. $100X6 panels = $600 total in deck boards. • Quickcrete fast setting 50lb bags $7/ea. (depending on the depth of your posts determines how many bags you need per hole). Take a lot more if you live where it gets cold in winter because then you need to set the post below frost level or else frost heaving will destroy the fence in quick order. It’s 36” deep where I live… so to be safe a lot of guys dig down 42” below grade and set posts there. But I’d guesstimate atleast 3-5 bags per post hole. so say you use a min 3bags per post at $7ea is $21 per hole x 6 holes = $126. • Exterior grade screws 5lb box is $50/each. Total approx material cost - $1,076

@@HomeGrownPyro1 Oh my God, you are such a kind, wonderful person!!! Thank you so much for your amazing advice! 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶 I need to make some calculations, based on your numbers , we might need more material for a longer fence line. We also live in an area, where the winters can be bad, in the CO. Do the frost issue is a significant one. And since my husband is a disabled veteran, ( just had his 31 st surgery ) need to find someone, who can do a quality job, and affordable 🤔😊 Thank you again, I’m so grateful and touched, that you answered my questions! Sending you my deepest respect and best regards !!!

Just my two cents. Those are deck boards they are using as slats. They are going to warp and bend out of shape and possible pop out of the groove since the screws are put in only as spacers between the boards to add gaps and to compensate for the board shrinkage so you don't end up with a huge gap at the top when the board shrink and drop. It is not how I'd have done it long term and the expense of the wood is way higher and anybody probably would be willing to admit to on a project like this.
