Good job guys, saved a bit of money being able to reuse the timber. Love the smell of freshly treated timber "does exactly what it says on the tin" 😁 Your daughter gained a fair bit extra garden there 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Yes the useless rails became useful gravel boards 👌🏼 They gained 10 feet . Landscapers due in a couple of weeks 🧱👍🏽

[@georgesteam]

Lovely job. The only thing I’d say is that we did something similar a few years ago and the builders made us move the fence back to the original position. A costly mistake as the extended back garden was established by then and the grabbed land had to be returned to turf!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

All done with the builders permission . Plus it’s on the deeds of the house 🏡 🧱👍🏽

[@huggy1huggy191]

ive told you before steve ,ive been fencing years,and in cases like that ie with all that water and shite in the holes all youve done is kinda plug the holes with the post,s and post mix ,they will rock like the ones you took out if you swing on um,,,what you should have done ,is dug a hole 2foot deep by 2 foot across.then put about 10inch of conny in the bottom,that way it countereacts the weight at the top,like when you see beer garden umbrellas up with the wide concrete base no rocking then my friend,any how hope this helps

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice one . Our holes were into nice compacted ground and clay 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@darrylkennedy2125]

Here in New Zealand the standard is 4×4 posts, 4×2 rails, and 4, 6, and 8×1 boards all treated H4. All post tops cut on an angle for water run off. Posts set in concrete at least 600/700 deep. If a high wind zone we use 6×6 posts on the corners and every 2nd post.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wow , solid indeed 💪🏼🧱👍🏽

[@garysmith4717]

Nice work lads, I’ve learnt to my cost never use wooden posts always concrete

[@timmargereson332]

Hiya guys, I can't believe someone left that original fence thinking it was ok. If you have no pride in what you do perhaps you should do something else !! You've made a cracking job of the new fence and in freezing weather, I know it was for your daughter but it still shows the pride you have in what you do. 😉 Tip top Regards Tim

[@jrsuk1170]

Is the crappie fence not set back from the boundary because of building regs. I thought a high fence has to be set back from the boundary. It's what's been putting me off a corner plot.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

No there are identical plots that have had their fence out right up to the footpath edging 🙄🧱👍🏽

[@richardsedorski1206]

Interesting vid bet it was cold.👍👍👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It froze soils for 8 days 🥶🥶🥶🧱👍🏽

[@Doug....]

Looks cold that day 😱 Im no expert but digging deep hole without disturbing surrounding soil is the only way to go ( as you did) . I made a cracking hole drill from an old circular saw blade 8" ( youtube video) and welded long tube on. Using decent battery drill it digs perfect firm holes with no effort. Take 3" bites at a time and lift out soil. 👍

Cracking job as always. But old fence looks like it's on the building line and developers can be real sticklers if you alter the planned lines. My old estate we weren't allowed fences in the front, all the fronts were open and they policed it. It's written into the deeds. I hate rules.

The type of fence you made is like a big parachute, it will wobble after a few years especially with that small amount of cement.

The fence will still be there in 20 years . Fences aren’t secured with cement . They are concreted in …. Big difference 🙄

Cement is used to make concrete I use the term loosely, nit picker. It's a joke these vids. I unsubscribe. Your like a sulky baby

Steve Alex top work guys. Question though, this looks like an extremely new build? Less than a year old? If so don't all new builds come with a 10year guarantee? If so why didn't the customer tell/show the house builder and get them to fix/remedy it rather than paying out there pocket to fix it? However top work as always gets lovely craftsmanship 👍🍺

I can never understand why people go for wooden posts instead of concrete. Back in 10 years to do it all over again.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Pressure treatment timber lasts Double the time concrete ones do . Just replaces 5 year old concretes all blown with concrete cancer . At last house the posts were timber and the fence was still solid when we moved out 17 years later . Timber is nicer to use , lighter and better for the environment. 💪🏼👌🏼🧱👍🏽
