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.

@@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.
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!
Instead of pounding them in on an angle, forcing it to fit where it doesn't fit.. cut one slot deeper so you can easily angle the boards in, then tap in a spacer block to fill the gap.
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
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! 😂
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. I just keep wondering what’s the point
If anyone takes the time to do this beautiful wall make sure to leave 3-6 months for that wood to dry I. A temperature controlled environment if you can. It should help the wood from bowing and crowing. And seal It after a season!
thats what I have here in south Louisiana/hurricane country as it allows the wind to go through instead of pushing down.

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
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.

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.
@@JonathonTaylor29 bets on a circular saw after the line was marked. I don't wanna think about how many router bits would be sacrificed eating through that.
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.
A router bit would likely get scorched after doing one side, that's a lot of material. They probably marked the cut out area, used a circular saw on a few passes, and then dug out the remaining material with a chisel.
Thing about fences is you share it with your neighbours you can’t just put up a fence without consulting your neighbour because the fence sits on the property line between the two homes. Unless you build the fence slightly into your property.
Too bad it's wood. That small lip holding the boards will not hold them after they shrink. It will break apart around the screws and boards will fall. You can add some trim board to fix it, running them top to bottom.
Ist landscapers Concrete IT can be Mixed directky in the hole Like that ...or there are even Options wich you Just pour and IT draws the moitsture from the ground arround
@@bjorn-e.t.6198the moisture from the ground isn't going to get to the inner part, it'll remain dust and only maybe harden slightly. Mix it, that's a lot of load and a tall height. That spacing won't do anything to the wind, it's 1/4" at the most so the fence will act like a sail.
You shorten the life of it a lot by putting the wood into the ground. You should have metal anchoring in concrete and fastening the wood in the metal part. It would longer the life length with decades…
For a fence? Definitely not pouring footers for a fence. That fence acts as a sail. You need some serious anchor to withstand even a 15mph wind. The anchors you speak of cannot do that. Always bury fence posts past Frostline. Deck posts on footers that are past Frontline.
MISSING: 4x4s need to be sitting on metal anchors that get embedded in the concrete. If you don’t, they are still going to come into contact with soil & water and will eventually fail regardless if you’re using pressure treated wood or not. Also your bottom board needs to be sitting above grade or it’s going to rot out. If you have small pets and are concerned about a gap, staple wire fence to the bottom board (that’s a good 3-4” above grade) and bury it 4-6” down or more depending on your needs.
Negative. They need a footer. Then poured in place buddy. It's a fence not the city building. If this guy even cares about his lawn and waters daily besides winter those footers and the bracket don't mean shitt.
That style would be fine but if you have a steep slope, then you need to stair step it and there would be gaps at the base. If you have dogs those gaps are not going to contain animals and also let in critters. My neighbor had his dog have encounters with a porcupine on 2 separate occasions requiring veterinary attention.
What everyone is saying is that when the boards dry out they're going to shrink up about a quarter of an inch so by the time each board shrinks up a quarter you're going to have a half an inch of gap between the boards which will give you plenty of airflow.
I would probably put some composite board on the very bottom to make it last longer, and definitely paint or stain after the first year.. that said, definitely way more expensive... Those deck boards would cost in the neighborhood of $60+ up to a height of 6', plus the 6x6's and concrete. If money isn't an a problem, it definitely looks great and is totally customizable for height. I would be curious how you would do this on a slope though... Maybe a wider board on the bottom cut at an angle so the bottom side matches the slope while leaving the top level?

Set your post level Fill your hole with water. Then dump your bag a concrete. And then you're a second bag. As you go filling, it, tap it down with the small end of the shovel. 23 years and my fence is still standing. No movement in the posts
Really like that, great build! Using treated wood sucks for many reasons, numero uno being warping when it dries, which it always does. Id like to see what it looks like a few years down the line.
Even better done grooved in vertically. I personally prefer a CBS mural to keep noisy neighbors and their encroaching activities and property out of mine.
Looks like it may be nice, but I don’t support the thieves who over charge 2-3x’s the actual worth for that lumber. Maybe if more people refused to be ripped off we could actually bring lumber prices down.
The only horizontal board fence I've had, the horizontal boards warped within a year leaving huge gaps in between them and they started sagging. If you want a good privacy fence, I recommend an 8'-10' vertical board-on-board fence.
Cool but sir you will have them boards start curving in the middle in about a year or so wait till some rain really hits that you need to support in the middle🥶
Good idea but not a fan of the wide span just because I know for a fact that those boards will warp and end up looking like crap, the span should be shorter or maybe have tongue and groove boards to prevent the warping
Those decking boards will shrink a lot. The gaps will really open up because the screws wont let them settle. If thats your intention, ok. But you can expect 1/2 inch spaces between every board.
This style of wall only looks good when its new.. They always end up looking like crap after everything starts to dry, settle and weather.. The boards bow and leave huge gaps.. Everytime
Just my two cents. Those are deck boards they are using as slats. They are going to warp and bend out of shape and possible pop out of the groove since the screws are put in only as spacers between the boards to add gaps and to compensate for the board shrinkage so you don't end up with a huge gap at the top when the board shrink and drop. It is not how I'd have done it long term and the expense of the wood is way higher and anybody probably would be willing to admit to on a project like this.

Editor: How many songs do you want?
The Guy: Yes!
In the uk would never use wood posts concrete posts with the slots already in them just slide panels in-between them
Because in the uk we build quality 😂😂
Yeah, because trees have a bad history of lasting outside.
@@potatoface01So much so that the average working class family can't afford to buy a house there. Just a rented flat in a musty old building with tiny rooms and old wiring and pipes. Sounds awesome.
He dry poured the post hole. You think he's gonna make a concrete post?! 😅
@@Benroe-yz1nz no we would never use wood posts because they rot
I love building fences but when it comes to fresh wood it's going to shrink. I person would have waited for a week or two before I put the screws in.
Concrete must be pour wet. Dry pour makes concrete weaker
Pretty expensive but functional!
Set your post level Fill your hole with water. Then dump your bag a concrete. And then you're a second bag. As you go filling, it, tap it down with the small end of the shovel. 23 years and my fence is still standing. No movement in the posts
Plumb… lol
@@87atxskater apples and bananas that's what I like.
nice job, you just made the COUNTRY look more like the city😊
Those posts need way bigger concrete foundation
Don’t use spacers the wood will shrink and you’ll get gaps bigger than anticipated
How as the channel cut out?
Yes, I would like to see this process. I think router, but I’m digging the 6x6 fortress style fence.
A dado bit would be my guess
Wow great very good just pure cement no gravel and sands ok. Good luck for stability.
Really like that, great build! Using treated wood sucks for many reasons, numero uno being warping when it dries, which it always does. Id like to see what it looks like a few years down the line.
Excellent work !!! 💯💪🏾🫡
Very nice, great work💯
Looks like Home Depot lumber with all those warps and bows!!!
Bro definitely went over 6' tall fence and broke the law
Everyone has different codes. I can have 8ft fenceing in my backyard. Only 4ft in the front.
Exactly. Different cities, different codes.
What a fkn nerd
Looks great, but I would have used 3/16th spacers between each board. That would look better
Man... that's not the best design... this wall wil deform very fast
Yeah. It's even now, but wait until the boards warp. But it's a cool design.
No, it won't! I have wood flower bed and a pergola that are both over ten year old look perfect as the day it was built
@@shannonhawk1431Right, there's always someone that's got negative stuff to say.
Even better done grooved in vertically. I personally prefer a CBS mural to keep noisy neighbors and their encroaching activities and property out of mine.
Looks like it may be nice, but I don’t support the thieves who over charge 2-3x’s the actual worth for that lumber. Maybe if more people refused to be ripped off we could actually bring lumber prices down.

Lit 🔥🔥🔥
The only horizontal board fence I've had, the horizontal boards warped within a year leaving huge gaps in between them and they started sagging. If you want a good privacy fence, I recommend an 8'-10' vertical board-on-board fence.
Cool but sir you will have them boards start curving in the middle in about a year or so wait till some rain really hits that you need to support in the middle🥶
Warp speed engage.... see what I did there
You are correct.
Good idea but not a fan of the wide span just because I know for a fact that those boards will warp and end up looking like crap, the span should be shorter or maybe have tongue and groove boards to prevent the warping
Those decking boards will shrink a lot. The gaps will really open up because the screws wont let them settle. If thats your intention, ok. But you can expect 1/2 inch spaces between every board.
Bro ain't trying to catch no status from the copy right department. Every song gets 2 seconds
I love how insanely tall it is
Nice, love that fence. Good height too!!!
This looks nice but I would be concerned about the fence post rotting in the ground eventually. Even with cement water can still get in there.
This style of wall only looks good when its new.. They always end up looking like crap after everything starts to dry, settle and weather.. The boards bow and leave huge gaps.. Everytime
Cedar oak is expensive but usually prone against flexing
You have a long way to go . The effort is nice
Just my two cents.
Those are deck boards they are using as slats. They are going to warp and bend out of shape and possible pop out of the groove since the screws are put in only as spacers between the boards to add gaps and to compensate for the board shrinkage so you don't end up with a huge gap at the top when the board shrink and drop.
It is not how I'd have done it long term and the expense of the wood is way higher and anybody probably would be willing to admit to on a project like this.
Way nicer than my vinyl fence. Lot easier to do than people realize. But I'm also a carpenter and contractor
Its amazing how the fence look had tremendously elevated
Those gaps will be huge once that wood dries in a year or two
Real Nice Job !
