Most states have a fence Law, one way or another. Many states have a common Law fence rule only when the fence is built right on the property line. That means that the neighbor now controls their side of your fence. When I build a fence, I build 1 foot over on my side of the property line. That way if any arguments or issues arise from the neighbor regarding your fence, they have NO SAY IN IT, because it is completely on your property and NOT the shared property line. If they want to do anything to the fence, they would have to trespass onto your property in order to touch your fence. The fence now would NOT be considered common fence Law. That one foot of property you think you lose, you actually GAIN full control of, rather than having your neighbor take you to court and try to claim part control over shared fence argument, when in fact, it is 1 foot on your property away from the property line. Settles any future arguments any neighbor would ever have with you.

Downside of those fences is unlike pickets no wind gets through so if you live in areas with potential high wind gusts I've seen it bend the posts over or the fasteners pull loose and the panel becomes a kite. Here in Colorado the blowing snow also pushes them over as unlike pickets no snow gets through so it just piles up one side.

Wind is definitely a nemisis around here! We can get 60-70 mph gusts in our part of Wyoming, so we have to engineer for it. Surprisingly, the wind load on this really isn't much more than a solid picket fence with minimal gaps. It still carries a considerable windload of course, which is why we go as deep as we do (to get below frost line) and use as much concrete as we do (just shy of 300 lbs per hole).

I put in a similar fence for a friend about 20 years ago. Still doing great. I don't think I'd recommend one normally between neighbors, but this one was against a city strip that was overgrown. This kept the weeds and berry bushes from growing thru the fence. It was 6 foot also, and on a slope, so there was a bit more trouble in making sure the "steps' worked out. Biggest problem we had was cutting corrugated nice and cleanly. But I had some electric shears that did well on it. I've put in corrugated on barns and used a plasma cutter that did well, but there is galvanizing on the panels, so that is not nice with a plasma cutter.

I have a corrugated steel fence in my front yard that is mounted on old metal pool fencing between wooden posts. It’s been up for over a decade and gives me lots of privacy, especially for my piggies. I really like the cedar top caps you placed on this fence though, along with the metal posts - longevity matters 😊👍✨

Imagine going into the kitchen. Getting a nice hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Walking over to the window. Opening the blinds. And being immediately blinded by all the sunlight reflecting off of that thing right back into your face.

It might have been tedious to put up but that is a damn good looking fence. Worth the extra effort.

The property next to a job I was doing had a similar steel panel fence. Talk about a noisy fence! The Damned thing would pop and crack evert time the sun would come and go behind the clouds. The expansion and contraction of the panels would produce non stop noise. And its ugly on top of that!

This is awesome! Is there a clean way with this style post to do a 45 degree turn in the fence line? really thinking about doing one of these for my backyard.

Just saw you guys messing with a powered gate/concrete fence while I was driving down villano in st. aug yesterday on my way to finish up some condo ceilings. Told my brother hey I just saw those guys on youtube haha. A lot of money on that road in gates man. -Holdeen's Flooring & Handyman

Looks good but I have to wonder how that will affect air currents in high wind conditions and how snow will collect under those conditions.

I would only like to build fences/ dig holes for the fence with this auger system. Is that a skid steer? Not bad. How do expenses compare ?
@BSTRONG-bx1vn5 ай бұрын
I had my doubts about the fence materials and how it would look. After watching your video I have to say you changed my mind I like it. The wood trim topped it off you did an amazing job. I just built a Cedar fence LOL now I kinda want to replace it.

That metal channel that you were using to mark up for locations of where to put the screws. For a professional, that’s called a story stick. And you guys are professionals.

If I had a house and lots of land, the kind of fence that I would have is a high stone wall all the way around the property because I like my privacy, and I would also have lots of trees and flowers because I love plants, and the wall would help protect the animals from predators.

We do see these fences everywhere in Australia as corrugation iron in zinc, hot dip or painted are used in roofing, fencing, and in many other general building.

Stacking the sheets and pre-drilling about 12 at a time would save you a great deal of time vs marking each sheet as you go. It also makes it pleasing to the eye.

You have such good kit in the States. Some of it just isnt available here in the UK. I'm wondering how much the customer paid for this fence ? and what sort of lifespan it will have ? You're right. I've not seen a fence like that before. It's pretty cool. Good work.

I designed my property fence the same way over 15 years ago. Had a surplus of pro-rib roofing and decided to just utilize it. The high wind did not seem to have much effect. Still standing over 15 years now and posts are still solid. Husband was doubtful at the time. Not now!

1,200,000 views of this video! Wow! Congratulations. Well-deserved. I can't imagine the time and effort that goes into making such a video with excellent production qualities. Still in the 60's daytime here in central New England, a little warm for my taste, so enjoyed watching this video from seven months ago when you had snow on the ground and wore hoodies. Looking forward to that weather here when I'll dive into all outdoor projects without having to cope with heat. Well done as always and thank you for it!

@19:47. Surprised that you didn't use nylon grommets when nailing the top cap onto the fence . Could make for greater longevity. I could be mistaken. Really like your channel, thanks.
