Just a suggestion...The angled picket/stay will push further into the ground when you tension your wire or will lean over time. Hammer a short vertical picket where your picket meets the ground, wire it to where they meet and run a wire to bottom of the vertical post to complete the triangle.

This is correct! He's a done a great job but missing the crucial 45 degree picket braces at the end of the 45 angle stays which will stop his posts from leaning (which they are already). Otherwise he's done a great job, well done :)

Pretty clever idea with tying in two pickets together. Makes it a pretty cheap and easy option to keep dogs in/out or around the gardens instead of putting in strainers and stays. I'd probably tie the 45Deg picket towards the top though to stop the whole assembly flexing and moving too much.

Thanks. Great video. Very clear! I've got to put one of these up, so cheers - very helpful. Its been awhile since you posted this and I had a few questions that I was hoping you could help with: • What length of star pickets did you use and how far apart did you space them? • How has the dog mesh held up and would you recommend the same brand? If so, can you recall what brand it was? • I noticed that the larger gate/opening only had star pickets, rather than a hard wood strainer post. Can you confirm what kind of gates you used and how they've held up? • Any things you'd do differently if you were doing it over? Thanks again. In the interest of benefiting from practical learnings from your efforts, any response would be super helpful! 🙂

1200 pickets Dog mesh and fence are going strong Distance in video (can’t remember) Gate was a standard vehicle width I attach with D bolts straight to the pickets. I rarely use it. If it were higher traffic I’d probably go something sturdier than the picket to attach it to. No brand name on the mesh. Was from “the bunker” in Noosa. Other than that. Happy with the fence.

@GeekTutorials14 жыл бұрын
How high was your fence here? If I wanted a 1200mm high fence, how long would the star picket need to be? Also, what about an 1800mm high fence...?
@brewsterly29272 жыл бұрын
You can get away with 5'6"/1650mm for intermediates in most soil types but use 2.1/2.4 for end strainers/corners. Make sure you use upright pickets at the bottom of braces (author didn't) and an opposite wire twist brace.

Hoocho I need to build a 6ft high fence to keep two big dogs in (they can jump over my 5 ft colorbond fence). Do star pickets come that big or do I need a different type of fence please? Also, they weigh 60 kg each. Do I need the star pickets closer together for extra strength? Thank you
@Hoocho4 жыл бұрын
Doctor Boy Standard Star pickets come in heights of up to 2400mm and they’ll lose 600mm from driving them in. You’ll probably have a hard time finding dog mesh that high too. I’d suggest that colourbond you were talking about with a fence topper. To give it the extra height. I’m no fence expert. That’s just my opinion.
