Thank you so much for this video! I just set my posts today with some help from the wife. Your video was my instruction manual for this job. We opted for cedar planks for the fence boards. I showed my wife your three ways of placing the planks. We both like the gap style all the way down. Yours was the best video on the Hoft system that I saw on KZbin. Many thanks! -Tom

Fantastic video! The fence looks great and I love the horizontal lines.

Thank you! The horizontal lines make it look really modern. Stay tuned for more videos to come!

Rough numbers.. around 15k just for materials on your fence plus concrete. As a professional fence installer, i have to say that room & cost for error with this system is not exactly beginner level expectations. As a beginner using this system, use cedar planks at first, then replace them later if the look is undesirable. Or hire a reputable local fence company and enjoy your weekends doing something less stressful.

Yeah.. Each of those composite planks are around $25 each at Home Depot right now. Insane!

I just recently purchased this fence kit. I have 12 posts to install. Most of my holes have been manually dug at this point at around 30 inches. I just need to know you dug yours at 36in but Hoft recommends 24in. Also is the gravel a must, I do live in an area that has harsh winters.

I can see now how important it is to have the poles level and the right distance so the boards will fit. And yes the height is important too. I think it would be a good idea to lay down one board in the bottom to help keep the correct spacing while your busy leveling the pole with your cement. This is my tip and I never did any fence work before. Is that a good idea? 🤔

@TheExcellentLaborer Just like last time I messaged you, your pointing to nothing at the end of the video. I know you will fix this, just wanted to let you know again! Thanks for the entertaining video, was fun to watch and learn the process.

Thanks for pointing that out! That video is in production and will be released. Hopefully this coming weekend. I will place that video at the end screen then. Stay tuned!

Nice job man.. looking good, but that's one expensive fence.

@thanielxj11 Ай бұрын

I don't like the way horizontal slats look. Also I think it's an unnecessarily expensive fence. I hope you got a discount for making this video.

Wouldn’t you want as few posts as possible for costs reasons? Why not do 7 1/2 lengths for the example measurements you have?

@TheExcellentLaborer 4 ай бұрын

It depends on what length of material you are using. I explained that in the video. Thanks for watching!

@OneManLikeNoOneElse 4 ай бұрын

@@TheExcellentLaborer So it would make sense to you to put in 7 posts in a 15’ fence, if using 2’ material? Who does that? Again, wouldn’t you want as few posts as possible for cost reasons? (The fencing materials are generally much less then the posts) which support the fence howoever, the “Hoft” posts are just not that expensive or, are they?

Great point.

There are only 3 board lengths I think from the site. 44", 6' and 8'. So yes if your trying to save money then I would for sure go longer board. But this is for a customer and they probably chose the shorter length. Who knows for sure. The point of this channel is to learn more than to teach economics. So depending on the job when he creates a video tutorial, that is what we get. I would agree, 8' would have been better for this large yard. But I bet the customer chose the 6'. I am sure the @TheExcellentLaborer will confirm.
