As an IT guy I built my own fence after watching this extremely helpful and straightforward video and it was a great result, thanks very much!

[@kerrie2k]

Was just watching this via another YT channel, thought I'd come and show me support with us being from Nott's lol.

[@mdot9551]

Wait is he from Nottingham lol ?

[@DJProjectss]

woooo

[@SupaSaiyanGuy]

KZbin suggested me to Joe Everest in the states video on this video which is about a guy in Nottingham, all this so I know who to call for my fencing needs!

[@marlonthomas8042]

Notts too Great tip about marking the kick board levels on the post

[@clint9027]

How confident and relaxed you are now from these videos is crazy.

[@craigyarmulasr1845]

Just watched your video with Joe Everest. Great information

[@lisabell4438]

I’m going to do my own fencing after watching this, concrete and all. Cheers

[@shootermcgavin-gp7mf]

Just done a fence today old post concrete in every hole I needed a post, 3 roots the size of an elephant’s trunk running parallel through my holes, I’ve worked my legs off today grafted and no one will ever know or appreciate the pain of my work day today and I’ll die a poor man in 45 years. What an existence this is.

[@jamescooper2898]

Got 17 6ft x 6ft panels with concrete posts and g/boards to put in and started looking for tips. These guys are professional, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for the great video.

[@andrewclark3223]

Thank you! After watching your videos and deciding to give it a go, I've installed my first fence. No castle tops too. I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't seen your excellent videos. Keep up the good work!

[@our4leggedfriends]

I also found your channel via Joe’s. Love the concreat posts and kick panels. Good looking fence.

[@thomasmccullagh8282]

I've been self employed for over 20 years,and fencing is a big part of our work. Just come across yr channel and you fellas are great too watch very informative and anybody starting out ,watching yr videos won't go far wrong with yr straight forward easy to understand advice.

[@lildeanc]

Just not sure how the top of the fence is level on the slope? What if the garden was longer how would you achieve this? Or did he just cut the posts down

[@markgadsby5568]

Often it is because key details have been omitted, and feel it’s a waste of time

[@RodneyABC1]

Love the video guys, keep up the good work, a nice wee video on building the fence on a pretty steep slope would be great also

[@dantrussler5523]

Had a go at my own fence for the first time after watching this. Went in a treat, really happy with it. Thanks guys!

[@DJProjectss]

Our pleasure!

[@J.G.4801]

just saw this on Joe Everest's channel. just stopping by to show some love

[@LavineNoonan]

I would like to thank you so so much. I found your videos when storm Eunice destroyed our fence with wooden post and we have learned so much from you that me and my husband have just completed 22 panels with concrete post and it’s looking not too shabby. Thank you again and I love watching your videos. Have a amazing day.

[@Helz-os7fj]

After having some crazy quotes for 3 panels I'm confident to give it a go myself now. Great video simple and clear advice

[@tyronbibby1557]

Awesome video lads cheers, just checking it out to see if I've missed any tips or tricks. The only thing I will add is if anyone plans on doing a decent amount of fencing it is worth getting a Petrol Earth Auger for about ~£200, makes digging holes so easy and will save your back if the mud is tough. I personally got the BU-KO 52CC 2Stroke Petrol Earth Auger 3HP V-Type, comes with 3 drill bits and an extension, I'm doing 3ft holes perfectly fine with it. Sometimes have to use the thin drill bit first if the mud is like concrete but can follow-up with the bigger one after.

[@barkershill]

Really well made vid . You are a natural teacher and brilliant no bull presenter . One tiny little tip ….right at the end of the vid have a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush handy and get Stevie to wash all the postcrete off his spade double quick

[@DavidPearsall-l5f]

Im carpenter but one thing I've never really done is fencing. Been watching these guys for a while now top guys. Just ordered loads of stuff from there site just round the corner from me im bar lane these guys are percy street top quality materials great great prices best in notts from what I've found. Keep up the great works guys.

Joe Everest recommend your Channel. I’m a Farmer in North Carolina, I spent some time in England and Germany. I noticed that the fence posts were Concrete, so when I started building fences on my Farm I made Concrete Posts. Best decision on fencing I made.

[@we-are-electric1445]

As someone who has put quite a few of these fences up in my time I always found the fun starts when you have to do it on a windy day ! it's alright for the professionals doing it every day but if everyone else is like me it can be a struggle . Its not always possible to do it on a calm Summer day !

[@bakeruk87]

Fun and informative video, cheers guys!

[@BrownEyedGirl14]

I'm watching this as a 33 year old single lady who needs a new fence due to problematic neighbours. Was quoted £1500+ to have it done for me so I'm trying to see if I can save money by buying all the materials myself and trying to install it myself! I doubt I can but you've given me the confidence to try!

[@DJProjectss]

We have faith in you

[@tigerberrie5147]

Have you started? Is it as easy as it looks?

[@BrownEyedGirl14]

@@tigerberrie5147 I can't speak for your own, but mine was a bit harder than it looked. I had really unlevel ground with holes and stuff in it so the hardest part was getting it all flat and level. I ended up going with panel fencing so it was much less work but did require another person to help. However I'm 5ft 1, 100lbs and 33 so I could just be weak! Also didn't go this route with the posts either, I found some post holders on Amazon that just need to be hammered into the ground instead of digging and using concrete, so it's ended up being a fence which can be easily removed if needed! It was worth it though and ended up only costing £160 in total instead! And now I don't have to deal with those neighbours either :)

[@AdamEarley2011]

Fantastic video, will be saving and using as reference when I go at it this year!

[@DJProjectss]

Glad it was helpful!

[@resisantcubegaming983]

Just about to say about the tape then boom you say it 😂 Great video this has helped me so much, went from semi confident to positive I can do this now 👌 How do you price a job also?

[@scottchegg3385]

Top video again guys! One of my pet hates- seeing 6 inch to 1ft of post showing above the panel! It’s just laziness- not digging the post the full depth. Can also be inexperience. We had to re install a fence last year where the posts were in 1ft 😂 how people sleep at night doing that- I don’t know!

[@DJProjectss]

No one likes a castle top!! 1ft! Crazy isn’t it what you see at old jobs! They probably sleep without any hesitation lol

[@herberthowardjones9982]

Great video and very good presenter. Thanks!

[@davesalter]

Great job mate. Just wondered how you price these jobs and what is the usual charge to a customer for such a fence? Thanks

[@vinibeni]

Thanks so much for the very informative video, these tips are a massive help as I'm replacing the old fencing in me garden all by myself! If you don't mind me asking, is it necessary to lay some gravel to the bottom of the hole for drainage purposes? Great video again, gents!

[@DJProjectss]

We are glad they are going to help you buddy!! No I wouldn’t say it is essential to do that, but for peace of mind for the drainage of water I guess you could do that but we don’t! Thank you!!

[@JubbaheyChannel]

Not for concrete posts but if you were laying in wooden ones then 3inch of gravel topped by a 3inch layer of dry concrete mix before putting post in would help against rot setting in from underneath. You'd still get rot at the top of the concrete mix sadly but there are products that can stop that too, Postsaver Pro-Sleeves are one of many.

[@RoddyPorter]

Thank you, clear video and explanation. I need to replace some broken fence panels (the concrete posts are fine) on a slope of about 25-30 degrees. I want to place gravel boards down to stop the wild animals digging under the fence. Is it OK to completely bury a gravel board with another one on top?

[@DJProjectss]

Yes you can do that No problem

[@thomasholmes4549]

Great job guys. Some good tips. BTW. it’s agitate the mix not aggravate. Lol

[@daveclark8198]

Excellent video, thanks for all the great tips.

[@simonm9097]

Top tip get a wood 4x4 the same height as you're concrete and drop it in the hole to check your height easier than heavy concrete in & out. Start at the top of a slope, then you don't have to worry about the next bay height. Dry mix & tamp it, works out cheaper than post mix

[@DeaconWilliamBrodie]

Thanks for the tips. Any chance of you doing a video on how to erect a fence in a wind area?

First panel fence coming up next week I'm keen to try out some of these top tips dude! Especially taping off the 2ft height on the scoops 👌 genius!

[@DJProjectss]

Makes it so much easier

[@teekay1785]

Most builders been doing that for decades but it is a good tip. Personally Mine are marked at 2 ,4 and 4 foot . I usually use gas auger and finish it up with post hole diggers to get more accurate depth.

[@sean19]

Thanks for the tips 👌👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@blaz8383]

Thanks for the tips lads! Great work you guys have done, saw the finished fence in another video, looks really smart! I have a question regarding "fence etiquette". When installing a fence for a client, do you guys always put the 'nice' side facing the client? Cheers 👍

[@DJProjectss]

Thank you!! Yes we normally do because they are the ones paying for the fence typically... but we have done jobs were the customer has asked us to give the good side to the neighbours! ☺️

[@anjureid5473]

Comprehensive! I'm gonna do my first DIY fence next weekend

[@starman7982]

Great video guys. I know I will have to cut one of my gravel board, would it be best to start with the cut gravel board from the house wall or start with a full board and cut at end? Cheers

[@DJProjectss]

we cut at the end buddy

[@MrDanmjack]

Depends how fussy you want to be too. If you have a short garden and you wanna real top finish you put even cuts next to the house and at at the end of the run too.

[@theonlywayisyeshua8180]

I thought you were doing this without a string line as you didn't mention it. Then I watched again and saw you hit it with the scissors. Good job, lovely fence.

[@Matthew-hj5jj]

Great level of detail, thanks

[@pauldarko5182]

This is the best video I’ve seen , explained in normal terms and some good tips regards to tolls as well. Cheers 👍🏽😎

[@DJProjectss]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@petershaw6727]

What would you do if you were laying the gravel boards on top of a concrete base as opposed to earth? Would you cut and dig it out or simply lay them level on top? Also the current end post (wooden) is bolted to the house, brick wall. Should I use a slotted wooden end post bolted to the wall? Thanks for the tutorial. I've done a bit of landscaping but am in reality a novice. After watching this I'm considering replacing the fence myself.

Great advice chaps, cansee your professional so in your opinion how would you tackle a 45 degree corner?

[@Questionablethings]

Great video boys.......and quality work, well done. A question if I may; I see you place 2 gravel boards one on top of the other before installing the next post.......is there a maximum fence height you can use this method ? I am look at using 6 gravel boards ( 6 foot high fence) and don't really fancy lifting each board over the top of the post and then lowering into position. Any help/comments gratefully received.

[@naushils4284]

Hi, thanks for the detailed guide, it really helps. Question: if i have (100mm x 100mm) 8ft concrete post, digging 2ft down, what would be the diameter of the hole? and how many Postcrete bags would I need? Thanks a lot in advance.

[@DJProjectss]

2/3 inch around the post is plenty. Bigger the hole, more postcrete needed 👊🏻👍🏻

[@andrewalexander4024]

Great video lads

[@alexedwards8750]

great video, thank you! What do you recommend for a particularly root ridden ground?

Nice and clean job. What's the dimension of the gravel board ( L x W x H) and what's the dimension of the post and the groove in the post.

[@ebes2486]

Great tutorial! Super work as always! I'm looking to put fencing up in my garden, but it has 2 different level's, how do i accommodate for the height difference when putting the fence and posts in please? Would it be possible to have the panels all the same height by using more gravel boards in the lower level? or is it best to have the panels stepped down from the higher level to the lower level?

[@yashkummar]

Thank you for sharing! You are a a legend!

[@MikeSmith-ng3rv]

Concrete posts are a very good idea and should last a lifetime but I see one tiny modification to your fence to make it last even longer. If you leave a tiny space (a few millimeters) where the wood touches the gravel board at the bottom, rain water will dry quicker and therefore less likely to rot the wood from bottom up. Here in North America, we use wood posts and they have to be replaced every 20 years or so due to rot. Concrete posts is a wonderful idea.

[@kjp2404]

You can get a type of rubber material that lets water pass through, cut it into strips and place between the panel and gravelboard

[@shootermcgavin-gp7mf]

Great work, top tips, mine has a gate in the not so middle, would you work away from the gate and cut down the last end boards?

[@juliedavies767]

Great video guys, may be a daft question but if using/putting up a full gravel board fence (I.e 5/6 gravel boards stacked ontop of one another) would the process be exactly the same? (I'm looking at putting in somewhere that needs to be secure so the dogs can't escape and gets very wet and windy from time to time so timber pannels will rot quickly regardless of what preserve I put on them). Any suggestions would be great, cheers guys.

Hi guys, definitely helped me out with panel and post installation. I have a few questions still though. 1. How did you workout you needed two gravel boards to make the fence level across the run in the first place? 2. How did you make sure your fence was in a perfect straight line and not dog leg? I'm putting a wooden fence in at the weekend and am unsure on these two points. Thanks in advance.

[@pokecardsuk5223]

2. Use a string line I’d think bud

[@hithere5768]

should you wait for the concrete to set before you add the fencing?
