Will work but not recommended. Posts need to be set into the ground for a fence. What you described is good for something like a deck where you have lateral support at the top of the posts. On a fence it comes from the posts being 4 feet in the ground. I really hope you used steel bases with a long sleeve on it that go at least 6 inches up the post. Still won't be as strong as this fence.
@@nowerries i believe youre exaggerating the difference or misunderstanding their response. a good 1.5-3ft bed of properly mixed concrete not just pouring in cement will work wonders. and metal shoe that the post connects about 5inches or so into is never snapping at that joint. its about mass and size of foundation, not JUST length. on that note, their foundation is too shallow in the video. putting wood directly into the ground is fine, it can last 10-25years depending on your concrete mix and whether you have drainage gravel underneath
Don't worry, with those unsealed cuts and dry pour cement which maybe didn't even get watered, I'm sure they only want it to look nice until the check clears.
How would they gap to 1/2 inch if they are sitting right on top of each other? This isn’t a fence or deck where the boards were nailed in place.. They are just gonna fall down and stay right on top of each. I’d be more worried about how much the boards are gonna warp when they dry.
Natural bend (crown) should always be facing up in all construction. You can see a few spots through the fence that are wider, it’s because the lower board the crown is facing down.
@dunaiden9858 because u can see the difference 😂. It looks awful esp on such a easy fix. Some of the gaps are wider because he didn't face the boards correctly
@@dunaiden9858 Consistency in construction matters. Same as building a wall, crown should always be facing the same way. The boards weight will flatten the crown over time, but if crown is facing down it will become more pronounced as it hangs.
I like how the boards get so wavy after only being installed for a few days. If the wood grains are opposite the 1/4 bend gets exaggerated with the next board.
If they made the horizontal boards with tongue and groove joinery it probably wouldn't have much wave. That'd probably be more effective than them undoubtedly having to add a middle 2x4 in the future.
Treated lumber is awful for a finished product. It is so wet from the lumber yard something like this will warp in days as it starts drying out; especially at those spans.
I use accordion faux leaf walls w/ tall shepherds hooks w/ black zipties. The hooks have double hooks. Easier to connect. I double them up. Great privacy wall between porches. The hooks go up to 96”, but I keep them at 6-7’. I also used a super strong fishing line to hook to porch posts so the wind wouldn’t make them lean. We gotta do what we gotta do! 😂
Traditional fencing works, though. This contraption is all show and uses a lot more wood. Dry packing post holes is nowhere near as strong as mixing it with water first, and that's a lot of material being held in place especially at that height...the posts would need a pretty deep hole depth. Also, the bottom is questionable...especially around the post. Replacement probably in 12 years. The horizontal boards will be very wavy after 30 days and the screw spacing will make it look worse.
@@BugJuiceFlavor you hit the nail on every point. Hopefully those holes are deep enough. Didn't look to wide either. That fence is pretty high and heavy with the solid fencing. That's a lot of weight. I think a board on board would have been a better idea. As the wet pressure treated wood dries and shrinks it would still hide any gaps
I've seen this more and more recently I would feel better knowing I mixed the concrete properly but that's just me I've heard people say they get good results doing it this way
thats what I have here in south Louisiana/hurricane country as it allows the wind to go through instead of pushing down. Mine cities worst hurricane in the last 50yrs, "Ida" didn't move my fence of course I cheated by bolting my fence to a 18'x33' fire pit awning that is bolted to my 16'x24' carport so the hurricane pretty much has to push them all down since they are all against each other so baring a tornado my fence ain't going nowhere.
It looks really nice. Looks solid but I suspect the weight of it may cause issue's in time. Maybe better to have the strong posts into cement and the horizontal boards a thinner and wider selection. My dad did all his own fences many year's ago and they didn't budge!
I hope you let that lumber sit for atleast 2 or 3 weeks in the sun 1st bc if not those may end up with alot more gap than u want but I do like the way you notched the post and slid the boards in the groove. It looks nice.
I used 1 x 1 board strips to make that groove…and I used white lattice on top to run across and placed solar lights on each post with sheet metal 4” x 5” glued to the lights on the backside to,prevent neighbors from trying to shoot them with a BB gun plus it illuminates brighter to the yard
@DaniMarquez71 i would love to build a fence just like this. After seeing some of the comments... how has it held up? I am not a builder... just trying to diy as much as i can.
In Costa Rica they build homes like that, but they have concrete posts with grooves and prefab concrete panels that slide in. The interior and exterior walls are done the same way, then they come pour the floor. It's cheap and pretty quick, in a week they go from a clear spot to having walls and the floor done, and the whole thing can be done in 2-3 weeks including the metal roof with steel holding it up. Later people put in tile or whatever to finish it and they have some cheap ceiling options that kinda snap together.
Personally I think the fence is beautiful. It serves its purpose well. As to the negative comments from"everyone is a carpenter" regarding how it was built...ya, it may have flaws and yes it may not be to code but you cannot disagree that it looks great. The design allows for a quick fix a few years down the road if the boards twist real bad but even if they do it will add character
Totally agree. Just dumb… my wall is better than your wall. Probably armchair “carpenters” who just like to talk smack about other’s efforts. Dude’s results are NICE!!
Ok. Ok. What wasn't included was the total cost. Lumber & man-hours. Then instead of a cute tiktok clip you'll realize if it was worth the "few years". But if your neighbor is that annoying then yes maybe it's worth it.
All construction critiques aside, this is a weird thing to build. It doesn’t run the length of the property or the yard or the porch, it’s absurdly tall when the fence next to it is only 3-4 ft, it looked like you only used 1 60lb bag for each 6x6 which does not seem like enough for how tall those are, it stops partway up the yard.

No need to gap the 5/4 boards, by the end of summer there will be 1/2" gap or more.
Gap needs to be wider to allow air through so it won't get torn down by hurricane force winds, if you live in those zones.
Don't worry, with those unsealed cuts and dry pour cement which maybe didn't even get watered, I'm sure they only want it to look nice until the check clears.

15 years …maybe
@@wallyevans4228 until it wraps?
10 years max lifespan if it's treated every year and almost the same price as a block wall. It's pretty though.

Fun fact you can mix the concrete with water and then pour it in the hole.
