Good afternoon and thank you very much for the comment! Generally speaking 1800mm high is the standard fence height but depending on slopes of the land etc. it can end up been easy to look over. I always recommend the plinth which brings the fence to 2m high again depending on the levels of the slope If your fence is 1800mm high it’s probably within the regulations as far as council goes normally within 1800-2100mm high is the standard boundary fence. You might need to look into fence extensions to gain a extra 300mm of privacy

Where are you located?

@ Tarneit

Stratco would be one option which sells this exact material but I could also arrange a quote for all the same materials delivered to your door at a wholesale price Message DQC DIY & SUPPLY on fb or instagram if interested

Sorry I don’t yet! Can definitely make one though!

Ideally never want to cut the post if possible creates extra work and don’t want to cut with a grinder as it will eventually cause rust. Best is to get the correct length from supplier and set using a lasered level string line. They shouldn’t come rough and jagged from the supplier as the steel is cut to length as a flat colourbond sheet before been rolled into length. No capping over the post generally but they do make caps !

Definitely will get a lot more twist without a support Would recommend a support frame always

No mate, very solid and sturdy fencing. Extremely common in Australia.

If constructed correctly they should be very rigid

Hi Joe, Good luck with the new venture. Fencing is usually $180 per lineal metre with a plinth and I always recommend a plinth. Then retaining I base off of a m2, retaining does vary a bit depending on access, sleeper type. However around $500 per m2. Gates vary depending if I’m doing other work at the property etc. I’m pretty busy so not wanting to just go and hang one gate unless it’s worth the time, so depending on travel can be up to $1200 supply and install and if I’m already on site doing the fencing as low as $400 Feel free to follow me on insta or Facebook which is the same as the channel name and we can chat there and subscribe for more videos 👌

@@Dqcdiyandsupply Thanks for the information I really appreciate it and I can't follow you on socials because I'm one of those weirdos that don't have it but I might have to start one for the fencing business so if I do I will follow you on that. Thanks again and I wish you success in the future! Cheers for the content

That’s no good mate! Practise makes perfect!

Thank you for the constructive criticism mate. What do you mean by turn the bolts around ?

I don’t think so. I’m a carpenter by trade so I understood the basics. The rest was working alongside experienced fencers and trial and error !

@ ok cool, just wondering.. last time I did fencing the joints between panels weren’t airtight and could see the joints.. any tips to avoid this in future or any tips how to fix?

@Warr3nBuff3t did you have the sheets over lapped the correct way? What profile of fencing were you installing ?

@@Dqcdiyandsupply haha yeah I put the sheets the wrong way.. had to redo the entire job

Yes definitely longer posts. Depending on where you get the materials from usually they will do a longer posts stock. 2600 or 2650mm would be good. As you want a bit of concrete under the post as well so it’s not sitting it the dirt but the concrete on the bottom.

You’ll find it varies by location. Where I am in SA 99% are concrete. Well worth the investment to maximise the longevity of the fence. Aluminium plinths (Do not rust) powder coated to match the fence are another option and blend in well. However they do come at a price!

Thanks mate, Definitely have to re think it on a windy day. A mate to hold the sheets comes in handy !

@@thenativetreeman2904 thanks mate, I appreciate it!

Thanks mate!

We usually go 80 slump and on a hot day go a bit of slow set in the mix. Always turns out good, definitely better than speed set or bagged concrete

Thanks for the comment This job is Stratcos goodneighbour fencing in gunmetal grey/ monument colour

Thank you very much for the comment. Just incase you do cause damage to the steel by hitting it to hard if the concrete is going off. The. It will be on the retained side “rough side” as such. However in 5 years of installing retaining I’ve damaged one I beam which was on a hot day and the concrete wasn’t budging. I was able to bend it back and cold galv it so it was barely visible

Thanks for your concern, I prefer not to use gloves especially when using power tools and can increase the risk of slipping etc. My hands are pretty used to the physical work

Why would he want to use gloves, that's a safety hazard and a personal preference as gloves do about as much as wearing a boiler suit in summertime.

Thanks mate! I’ve got some pretty handy Bluetooth headphones/noise cancelling headphones but just aren’t wearing them in the video so I can hear myself speak and think ! Appreciate your concern though !

@@Dqcdiyandsupply Fair call mate. I'm a half-deaf sparky in Melbourne, wish I had taken my own advice years ago. Love your videos, keep up the good work!

Thank you for tuning into my videos and I appreciate the comment. Usually you would straddle the boundary, that would be the most common. However if retaining is involved because someone has cut the land or filled the land sometimes the retaining/fence would be “on the boundary” but on that persons land. If nothing is specified I would always recommend straddling the boundary because technically it’s a shared property

@@maddichambers706 sorry to hear that Maddi! Plenty of dodgy people out there sadly :( don’t forget to subscribe if you enjoyed the videos :)

Thanks for the comment. Glad i could help. Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions and goodluck with the build !

Would not recommend

Hey mate! Unfortunately not! South Australian!

Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. If you have any questions in regards to your project or need any help sourcing the materials let me know.

Hahah I do have tool belts! Sometimes I just like a break without it so took this opportunity 😆

It is very flimsy without a frame and will twist very easy definitely recommend the frame to hold the hinges and latch as well for extra support

@@thedownunderverse both are possible to do. A dead lock would require a “lock box welded in to work and the letter boxes are pretty easy to install as long as it is the right type of letter box. I’ll send a link to the letter boxes
