If you're used to string, yes for sure, string will be faster. I'd say for one-off jobs just use string. If you're used to eyesighting, I think it goes faster, especially over long runs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn3RdJKrqbWke5o

@SWiFence
@SWiFence 2 жыл бұрын
Same concept as what you see here only exaggerated. Decide how much deviation you don't want to show up in your fence and set straight for those portions. Anything beyond that deviation you gradually roll in and out of over time so your fence line smoothly follows the terrain instead of jerking all over the place. 👍🏻

I’m making that change immediately… never gonna set another post I before concrete again! Just curious… we use a lot of hedge (bois d’arc) posts for fences. They will outlast treated pine or cedar by several decades. I can show you fences with 6” diameter posts still solid and strong that are 100 years old. None of them are in cement… there are both dug in and driven in posts in the fences. They were set with rocks and clay pounded into the holes to hold them. Newer fences with concrete rot the wood! Now here’s the question(s)… at equal depth and equal diameter… which one holds better? Rock packed or concrete. Second, have you ever used hedge posts?
@SWiFence
@SWiFence 3 жыл бұрын

I got a question. What is the best way to set 4 1/2 inch 16ft long pipe for 12 ft fence that has to be poured with 300 psi approved concreted They are a Beast to set and they want 8 inches of concrete underneath the pipe. I was looking for something like a pipe slip like those I used on the oil rigs but they are way to much $ and are heavy as shit to be practical for setting up 450 ft of them to hold them up waiting for concrete to harden. I'm at a job installing 12ft fence for a soccer field taking over from another company that poured them staggered to fuck with 5 ft of concrete not one is even close to being centered of the hole even a drunk man would say that's not straight looking from 2kms away. I've pulled them all out but now they tell me i have to have them 8 inches above. So I figured i'd reach out to Americas best for a solutions. I've got all the holes 5 ft exactly straight using a line and laser level because it's a city job they want verified to finished grade domed top of concrete 6 inches under final grade. This Job is on a hill and the Winds are pretty crazy. It's almost winter time and there are no leaves to block any wind now so I'm kinda like How the fuck am i supposed to set 54 pipes in the hole and have them hold and stay 8 inchs above keeping them straight / Plumb while the concrete cures fighting with the wind 40 - 80kph. The technique you use is the same one. But with 4 1/2 pipe and 16 ft long once that concrete gets in the bottom they are heavy getting them down isn't hard it's keeping it up that's the problem i'm using 12' sonotube 5ft post goes 4ft 4inch i'm using a vibrator because the require it to be and even that the pipe just wants to go down lol. I was thinking 2 4 -4 1/2inch Pipe Rising Claps with a 2x4 spread base for the bottom and 3 center bands 3/4 of the pipes height like 8ft ish for a tripod using top rails to keep it up?
@SWiFence
@SWiFence 3 жыл бұрын
On something like this we pour around the post rather than stab it into the wet concrete. We use a pole setting attachment to make this easier since the posts are so heavy. Once the post is in the hole with the concrete we wait for the concrete to cure enough then install one or two brace bands at the bottom of the post to catch a 2x4 or pipe that spans the hole. With the the post to height, we tighten the brace bands down on top of the 2x4 so that the post can’t slip down anymore. Wind isn’t an issue because we keep an eye on the post as they cure and it doesn’t take very long at all for the concrete to cure enough so that the wind can’t move the posts. Even with the Wyoming winds, we have never had a problem. ezspotur.com/prod_hdpole.php
