How to Install a Fence Post onto Concrete

[@JamesMontana]

I have made a video that goes into a little more detail on how this is done - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnfOaKB8bdKcj8k

[@miked1913]

Does this work for asphalt as well?

[@JamesMontana]

No this wont work on asphalt. You will need to dig a hole in the ground and repair the tarmac after.

[@superbazooka213]

I have a concrete drive and want a 4 ft walk through gate beside my house, 8ft double gate to the right of that and it will tie into my privacy fence. Will these support the 4 post needed for my gates? Or would I be better off renting a core drill and drilling the post holes in the concrete and then use a small auger bit to drill the ground to get proper depth and concrete the post in the ground like my others?

[@JamesMontana]

@@superbazooka213 i really wouldn't hang any size gate off these. Youre much better off drilling into the concrete and setting a post.

[@superbazooka213]

@@JamesMontana ok sounds good. Thank you! That is the direction I was leaning towards.

[@jimbo8743]

Some of the other videos showed, to vacuum out the dust after you drill

[@stevem7250]

Yeah so if you resin the hole before inserting the bolt it will adhere to the edges not the dust. Stronger fixing.

[@qazinazifullah5851]

what kind of screws are good for concrete

[@omarpena116]

Tapcon concrete screws from HD

[@iamthebobs6996]

Will this work for gate posts that will have a 4 foot wide and 6 foot tall cedar gate attached to it or should I break the concrete in the driveway in sink the 4x4 gate post down into the ground and concrete around it?

[@JamesMontana]

Definitely concrete it into the ground. Make sure to slightly mound the concrete around the bottom of the post to allow water run off.

[@heroknaderi]

I appreciate your time 😉

[@trenapickel6060]

Do it yourself, go to stodoys and learn how to make it.

[@tonysmith550]

Don't you use wall plugs then ?

[@becauseican151]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Is there a way to use these on a slipping concrete drive? Thanks

[@FreightRunna8]

Looks like you’re having trouble 😂😂😂

[@Andy2x4]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!

[@fastflat4]

Is a 4 inch slab thick enough?

[@brandonjoseph1489]

Was it? We are putting a fence in 10 inch slab. The screws only go in 3 inches though

[@pitbullslueth4358]

I thought about this after the wind brought down my six foot fence and one of the concrete re enforced posts with it. Then I thought no, the wind will just rock it loose in no time and the rain will rot the fence post at the bottom, alright for small light fences I suppose....

[@busty1372]

Design fence so wind will pass through

[@brandonjoseph1489]

@@busty1372her we are building a 6 foot horizontal fence in a concrete slab 100 feet long. How big should we make the gaps. 1/4 inch okay? We want privacy

[@brandonjoseph1489]

The wind toon down your post you put into the ground or concrete ?

[@BushmanOutdoors]

I’m planning on installing a fence across a brick paved driveway. Could I use this method? Or is this solely for a concrete slab? Ideally don’t want to remove the paving and scribe around the post

[@brandonjoseph1489]

I don’t think asphalt is the same strength as concrete to be honest the wind could rip them out. What did you end up doing ?😊

[@UkzEnglishBullTerrierz]

How do you put gravel boards in with these ??? Lol ...

[@RobertPriceBM]

nunayafb - 6 foot is about the right height for a fence using this bolt-down method

[@andrewayler]

hey Rob, could you tell me where I could find those feet/bases. I'm not finding ones that tighten like the ones in this video.

[@BigGinge167]

What size of tapcon screw is that?

[@osnapitsjoey]

What if it's not a level piece of concrete?

[@KarlH1980]

Rough answer, make the base the opposite angle of the underlying concrete.

[@whatyousaidbud]

Joey Smith pack washers under the fixing holes on the low side so your screws/bolts clamp them as you tighten it down.

[@covetedbeauty8084]

What about concrete posts? Not wood

[@tonyl1984]

@@whatyousaidbud or use plastic c packer shims then the visible gap apply resin bond for a secure base

[@walternate2914]

How do you make the post plum if the concrete slab has a grade to direct water away from the home?

[@barryhenderson6375]

Cut the end of the post at the same angle as the grade and put it in the post clamp and plumb it.

[@JamesMontana]

Use round washers under the bolt down plate to level it, before bolting it down.

[@joelprice1]

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem and my concrete slab slops down.

[@brandonjoseph1489]

@@JamesMontanathis is what I was looking for. Washers yes! Thank you. I think they make a special thing for it do you know what it’s called it’s like a rubber mat

[@marinawilliamson8723]

I saw it on another video. Shimmy is what he called it.

[@SWEENEY561]

can i dig out 4 inch holes in concrete driveway to install 4/4 inch fence posts . what equip. will i need

[@JamesMontana]

Yes of course you can. Its always stronger to concrete in a post. Just be aware of any services under the ground before you do.

[@alanrose7128]

very nice

[@dontwant1.43]

how much spacing should you have between each one for a two ft fence please

[@no_more_talk]

No more than 8ft. Unless you have them delivered to you

[@jenniferbriggs4699]

hi where did you get the bracket I checked amazon and nothing. Home Depot?

[@FJUWANA]

I just bought it at HomeDepot, but bit different style which also available at amazon a.co/b5E0lje

[@ashleygaines6804]

Lowes

[@ashleygaines6804]

Lowes has something similar

[@everythingsreal]

No screw-plugs before putting screws into the concrete? really?

[@justincourt668]

Realistically if a professional shows go to your house to build a fence with these or any saddles send him home period. Your worried about screw plugs but these saddle won't last long I've been to many jobs where we had to dig up each sono tube and repour sono tubes with the fence posts inside. Regardless the height of the fence.

[@thetruth9376]

You can get self tapping fixings for concrete no plugs required

[@samanthapiquette1449]

How close to the corner/edge of the concrete can you drill?

[@mica122213]

not close

[@JamesMontana]

At least 2"

[@atomicbrain9401]

You can't do it. Boy, you can't do this.......ON CONCRETE.

Is it more wobbly than going 60cm deep in concrete?

[@conniemasters6318]

Will this work with chain link fence posts?

[@justincourt668]

Connie Masters no.

[@LordTylere]

@@justincourt668 Why not

[@duncanperrin2000]

Why show general and not specific detail, like what you used to drill the bolts into/ what if concretes not level etc etc.... Don't bother unless you can unpick every part of the process.

[@kbanghart]

It's fine

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

Would this support concrete sheets with tile on one face, maybe with some horizontal posts for added stability?
