Building a Steel Pipe Garden Fence | Notching, Welding & Setting Posts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2024
- Our garden is beginning to take shape after 4 grueling days of setting posts and notching the corner supports. With 3 - 1/2 inch used drill pipe as the backbone we can rest assured we built a fence to last.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Jurassic Park called - they want their fence back! Awesome job you guys!
Que the Jurassic music...
🎶daadaaadadadada🦕🦖
Nuts, I just made that joke too
@@jennygirl8849 right forget the chickens, get some ostrach.
LOL!!
Lol!
That fence is so solid and well done that it will not only protect your garden from moose, but also from grizzly, elephants, gorillas,rhinos and dinosaurs. Great job Arielle and Eric!
Runaway freight trains, various natural disasters. Yep, that's a Hell for stout fence. lol
@@MrAcuta73 Jurassic Park critter-proof...🤣 🦕🦖...
That's right, but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember.
😂😂😂
My dad always said, "Build it like you will be there forever." You never know, you might be. You always do an incredible job in whatever you do.
I hope you two can understand just how many people’s lives you have positively influenced. Some to travel, some to start gardening or canning again and some to just start dreaming that all things are possible if you work hard enough. Thank you from the 1000’s you inspire. Good health and peace
Suggestion to think about: putting caps on top of the metal posts to keep rain out so they dont freeze and possibly burst. Love, love, love each and every video!! We all appreciate you two!
Definitely need caps...
With there soil I don’t think they will have to worry, pipes will never be full , if the pipes fill with water with there soil they have , they gonna have a lot more issues to worry about then that lol , and that’s 1/4 inch steel , can’t say I’ve seen metal pipes in the ground burst here in Canada at -40 f , but it is possible ,
I thought of the same thing about capping the posts.
Yep Caps
Don’t need to cap posts , just drill a 1/4” hole in each post 2-3 inches above ground level. This will let ant moisture out of post. Also probably do not need to cope corner pipes, you can get plenty of weld top and bottom of pipe.
Kids, I’m 70 and I got tired just watching you! 😁😉
I am 66, ditto. Just the thought of lifting anything weighing 200 lbs makes me tired. I can barely walk with a 40 lb bag of pet food. In my teens I could carry 2 bags of 100 lbs each, but no more!
You get tired just rolling out of bed
I’m 61 and feel the same way
71 for me. I used to be that ambitious. Now, I say I’m quite ambitious for my age!
🤣😂😅
Everyone's probably heard of a "safe room" and ya'll just built a "safe garden". Bravo!
Bo was always in the middle of every project hoping for pets or snacks. It's fitting he'll always be in the middle of this one too.
Eric & Arielle, you are the Bees Knees and awesome at using your Thinkers! Thanks for taking us with you! You bring smiles … Rest up! Well deserved!
Many years ago, I was in line at a salad bar with my son who was probably 3 or 4 years old. I was pointing out some things that were similar to what we grew in our own garden. A stranger asked my son what our best crop was. Without hesitation he answered, “weeds and wocks “. Funny.
100,000+ views in 7 hours for a view on installing a steel fence. That must be a record. You guys are incredible. All the best from Canada.
The 20 YR old me wishes I could have seen your videos, The over the hill man I am now lives vicariously through your enjoyable videos, THANK YOU !! 😁Live the dream. 🌄
I could watch a 5 hour video of you guys building stuff I will never have the need to do and still be entertained. I hope I am still watching you guys in 10 years time. 🌸🐨🌸
Hopefully by that time they have at least 1 kid, natural or adopted
@@Controlled_Insanity_003they have said previously they are not interested in having kids
@AussieTracy same. Watching baking, caning, camping, gardening, building all ok. Yet I will watch episodes of Eric do things that should bore me to TEARS - generator problems, Quonset hut screws, chainsaw oil thingy, and the recent sawmill blade slippage (? comments said sap buildup, use diesel) etc and I love it! Could watch all day. I think it’s the combined work ethic, humour and the working-it-out ingenuity that make me love watching any and all content…. as well, as the absolutely stunning videography.
I'm 65, retired florist. I could watch you guys for hours. I want to be strong like Arielle. I used to be😊
My best friend told me about your channel 4 years ago. He was a bad ass biker dude inching in on his late 60's. He always had this dream though, of doing what you two do. He even grew veggies last year and started a tomato plant from seed this year! I lost him May 1st to cancer, but you have no idea how you inspire people from all walks of life. We used to text each other when a new episode was posted so we could watch it together but in our own homes. I live similarly to you here in Effingham NH, and my dear friend would love this vid. You touch lives!❤
Next project...Build A Hot Tub, a Sauna, a Steam Room and a Plunge Pool! That should take care of all your ailments. Great job, can't wait to see the finished garden.
They 💯 need a hot tub and / or sauna!
Sauna!
I love that you buried Bo in the garden, he'll always be a part of it 💛 that tractor is worth its weight in gold, what an excellent investment for you guys!
I love that Bo is part of your garden ❤️
I also caught her saying that. Very special to add Bo.
yes, when we had to move I told the housing manager we would agree to the move as long as they disinterred our dog and reburied her at the new house together with the rose bush she was buried under. They did.
I absolutely love that you take us along with you guys living the dream. It is an inspiration of the highest order. Thank you.
It's precious that Bo is still with us in the garden. Good place for bench for a sit and think next to him. Have a blessed week.
And I thought keeping deer out of my garden was tough! God bless y'all!
Extreme couple, for Extreme Alaska. You two are building an unbelievable, over the top compound. I'm old, so I think you both as kids. What an accomplishment. ❤
Love the bloopers! So tired you can't even talk anymore 🤪
I’m always sad when one of your videos are over! But how do you even put out as many videos as you do?! You’re both exceptional humans! ❤ Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Arielle always getting the special Scenery and Animal shots to add good balance for the Viewers, thanx.😃
The beautiful birds you have around and they singing so nice
After so many years of watching this channel i really don't think that it can get any better! Arielle and Eric I think that you have found the sweet spot on what it takes to be a successful TH-camr and I love it.
Not me complaining all weekend because I mulched my mother's flowerbeds all by myself ... and then seeing this :) :) lol
Ariel: “EXTREME LIVING ALASKA!” I like it! You’ve long since left “Simple” in the dust!
I really look forward to your videos. I am not only entertained but I learn a lot as well. I can only imagine the physical and mental effort you two go through. Not only do you build, hunt, gather, and cook, but you also plan out your videos, decide what you're going to say, film them, edit them, then publish them. Holy Moly. Arielle even welded this time. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Shame on you, this channel should reach a million subscribers. Thanks for U guys❤❤
It will, I have been watching for years and they are growing every week.
I know right!! I'll unsubscribe so I can resubscribe
Yeah, I also like to watch the numbers climb!
I started watching them when they had 300k sub. Now, they are growing and 783k sub.
784K ❤
I hope yall don't ever forget how amazing it is, to have a relationship/partnership you do. To find someone that mutually loves you, gets you, respects and appreciates you, PLUS works well together, help each other, and do everything together like yall do, is very rare, at least in my world!
I know this is personal but I think y'all would make the best parents that could share so much. Your resourcefulness, kindness, and willingness to take on new challenges is certainly what the world needs more of.
They would make great parents, but they have spoken about not wanting children. It was in a Q&A video they did while ice fishing.
Eric and Arielle, it is so wonderful to watch a couple work together on their dreams.
Thank you for the pictures of the birds. Before my husband passed we enjoyed watching birds. It makes me feel happy to get to see some birds I’ve not seen before. Stay safe!
Bo is my favorite. Thank you for letting us know he's buried in the garden. Will miss him less.
Old river bed + Alaska = GOLD😊❤😊
Gold gold gold - there's gold in that. 😊
Just for the halibut got test that dirt for gold.. maybe a surprise or nothing lol
I'm an older person(60's ) i'm building raised beds , wow I'm liking the raised beds, mine are 24 to 30 inches in height, they are making gardening fun again
OMG Eric. You are exhausted!!! Arielle, you have to be in some seriously major back pain. You BOTH push yourselves to the limit. I look at the 2 of you and I believe you live each day to the fullest. The quonset hut build is another perfect example of how amazing it is to watch what the 2 of you can actually accomplish!! It really does boggle my mind. Love you both dearly.❤ ~ Peg
No one is gonna do for us.... Wow, what an realisation verse. If this verse could be understanding to everyone, no one is gonna sit idle in their lives. Awesome work guys👍👌❤
I’m so excited to see the finished project on the garden and the first bounty of produce for 2024! You guys are rock stars!! 🤘🌟
looking at the bloopers in the end, it looks like the hardest part about building this fence was telling us about it all :D
I’m always slightly sad when your videos end. It’s like visiting close friends. Thanks for the content and quality. Your camaraderie is beautiful to see. It’s special that Bo is in the garden. 🙂💚
You two just make everything happen regardless of how difficult it may be. I look forward to these videos every week.
No better feeling than to build your own project and enjoy it! My favorite TH-cam channel!!!
I love that Bo is part of the foundation of your garden and thereby part of your future. 🐾❤
E n A, you’re ahead of your time. We’ll be along in the next few years or so. You’ve turned my mind to the small garden here as well as helping an elderly neighbor lady with her large garden. This feels better than grinding through a miserable career. Thanks for the library.
Hi Guys a few years ago we used ex North Sea drilling tube as piles for a hotel in Scotland its still standing its incredibly strong tube whatever the diameter keep up the good work
Loved all the birds at the beginning of the video. You works hard. It looks great. Glad to be a part of the new garden. It will be so nice. Hope you slept like babies and gave yourselves a little break.
It’s funny. There are other channels doing similar stuff in Alaska but I don’t watch them. For some reason, your videos are more entertaining and interesting. The filming and editing are fabulous and the way you talk to the camera (us) is so engaging. Thanks so much for bringing us all along with you.
'Extreme Living Alaska' Love it.❤
Bandit's ready! Pepper be like: "Mi sneky." Eric, Posts are vertical, which you want "PLUMB". Rails are horizontal, which you want "LEVEL". Corners you want "SQUARE". to make them square, use the 3'/4'/5' measurement method. Mark 3' length of one leg, then mark 4' length on the other leg. From each of those marks you measure diagonally, and when you get 5' measurement the angle is "square". Your corner-to-corner measurement being the same is verifying your work. Nice work you two. The sweet part of how you're building this fence is that it'd be super easy to string a wire at one given height to stand out from the fence and charge it with electricity if you wanted to, which could be added at any time later on, and the whole perimeter is already "grounded". Rest up those backs for the next phase! Now go fix a fantastic meal to help those bodies heal.
I was sure someone would mention plumb verse level as Eric has made this mistake on most of his construction projects. We all know what he is saying but coming from the construction industry for 35 years it's just hard to not want to correct them.
You guys are incredibly skilled! So nice that Bo will always be resting in your garden.
The thought of cutting down the height of those metal posts is terrifying.
We greatly admire your ability to do those projects, yourselves. Finding affordable, skilled, reliable, and sober, contractors is virtually impossible in rural Alaska.
Rounded rock. Old river. Sounds like a place you would find gold
I just wanted to say that the intro was so beautiful.
"Fairspank's" in the outakes at the end. Just brilliant!
Thank's for the video guy's.
Great work.
Watched your build of a Steel Pipe Garden Fence yesterday. Wow! What a concept! Good job you two. We're looking forward to seeing your big garden develop this year. We really enjoy your channel.
💜💜💜
Dang, now that’s a fence - ain’t nothing getting in there! Excited to see it all finished…until next time…
💜💜💜
Wow, I’m tired and I’ve been lying down, doing nothing but watching you. Good job.
Bloopers😂. Those were great! You guys are the bees knees. I never get bored with your content. Can't wait to see what happens next. 💯💥❤
I just want you guys to know how much I appreciate the nature the wildlife that you do in your videos it puts me so much touch in touch with God and closer like you wouldn't believe I usually try to watch you guys and catch up if not watch your episodes as they post and I just want to say how much I admire you and anybody that doesn't know how to do something all they have to do is watch you and Eric and you can learn everything just from watching your videos I've learned so much about planning and and doing a garden and growing things in building everything I'm using dirt cement gravel you name it you guys know it all and you're just so together I love the relationship you have I wish I could come and visit but you guys would wear me out the first hour I could be the coffee maker but I love you guys like your family thank you for another great video and showing the birds I'm a bird lover beautiful and the music is just it works so well and guys are just amazing video video photographers and recorders
Every time the wife and I move we say this is our forever home. We have moved 20 times, this house we bought almost 3 years ago and we talked about moving again for the last year. Love the adventure.
@dougnoonan5663, Wondering why have you moved 20 times?
Wife and I have (only) moved two times cross county in 19 years and the last time was when pregnant with our first child. We said, "this is our forever home" and never wanted to do it again. Now two kids later (ages 19 and 15) we find ourselves moving yet again. This time it's to Fairbanks Ak from northern NY. This ordeal of moving everything we own 4,200 miles, buying a home and selling a home all at the same time, is so overwhelming we are saying this move/home will be our "forever home" lol
Somebody after you😆
I can't Believe you would do that to your selves. I hate moving.
yeah.......moved about less then that!
i am in the tenth of moving n i hated every second of it!
now i have a cheap small rental and a selfbuild
ex-civil-transportation-bus-rv
n some trailers for my tools n equipment!
since that build then i am pretty much stationary!
✌😁
Good afternoon everyone! Eric that TYM / Branson tractor is a beast glad you guy’s invested in it. Take care
Cap those pipes so water stays out! Good work guys, you rock!
You have by far the BEST channel to watch! I love the diversity of your content! So enjoyable to watch! A lot of channels have the same mundane intro and endings...they get old after 2 episodes! Plus you keep it real and not make it out to be what it isn't! Keep up the great work!
A great bison corral. That will keep any moose out of the garden. Great job. Forget Ford tough, as Ariel said ALASKA EXTREME.
Homesteading requires all the skills of a Seabee and then some Well Done gang!
Man, that tractor, talking about a good investment!
I need a break and all I did was watch you work 😮💨😮💨. For sure, take some time to recoup. Awww, so sweet Bo will be right there with you.
The nature, both animals and scenery, you show in your opening sequences just keep getting better and better. You have a wonderful land to spotlight, and you do an outstanding job.
You are legend 😁. Put caps on top of the pipes or water will collect inside of the pipes and then destroy them.
A MID WEEK VIDEO!!!!! YAY!!!!WOW! THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! You two never cease to amaze me!!! Ariel, I see you deciding you want the post all painted black, lol. I know it's work, but I love the idea of straining all your dirt. It looks like your dirt will have a lot of sand in it. That is going to be great for your root veggies. Carrots love sandy soil. They can stretch out and go deep. I am excited to watch you both accomplish this all. I have been watching since you started off to Alaska on your journey, I believe about 4 or 5 years ago. I have never been disappointed!! "Extreme Living Alaska" certainly fits you two. Nothing you do is "simple." Eric, you drive that tractor like it's part of you, lol. Can't wait to see the next video! Both just amaze me... What it would be, to be young again and watching you. I could of been so inspired by you.
God's protection as you build your future.
Not even a tornado can move that solid fence great job guy's that will keep out all the unwanted animals congratulations 🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful birds! I feed them every morning what they don't eat deer get the rest at night love the garden I learned so much watching yalls gardening videos😊 awesome big garden wowee!
With your short "summer" it's obvious you must plan carefully and stick to it. My God, how you manage to pull this off is amazing!
Nothing like doing things right the first time. Look at all the things you are doing that you will never have to do again!
Congratulation guys! For your efforts, you have won… A shipping crate of ibuprofen. I’ve never seen two people work harder. You deserve all the success that has come to you.
OMG what a fence you are going to have! Amazing! Ya’ll sure get a lot done. I know ya’ll are tired. Sit down, have a glass of tea and rest a bit! Ya’ll come up with such great ideas and then figure out how to see them through. Ariel cracks me up! You remind me of me about 40years ago..😁skipping behind Eric and clowning around. 🤣🤣I love it! It was great seeing Bandit out playing. Ya’ll be safe and take a little rest for your self’s.
When I saw the fencing behind you two, and Ariel said she didn't know what to call the fencing, I immediately thought of Jurassic Park! lol 😮 You two are very ambitious!❤
Please rest! I am taking some pain killers just watching you from my couch! Amazing progress, I can see the cabbage already!
I am so looking forward to your Summer! Thanks for sharing as always.
You two are the best, I say this all the time……just amazing, I so look forward to your videos. ❤ 🇨🇦
Your work ethic is awesome. There are a lot of young kids now a days that could learn a lot from you two.
Arielle had her Thinking Ball Cap on huh?
You two really are a Dynamic Duo of getting stuff done. Rest up and I'll be ready for whenever you share your next update.
Great determination!!! Hard work always feels better when done! Can't get enough of watching you young folks working together, making your dreams come true. God bless you both.
I don’t think I have written a note before just watched and smiled. For some reason I am now, thanks for starting your Chanel years ago. Your question and answer video when you were in the ice tent, I think you said you had decided not to have kids not to be nosy just want to say you guys would make great kids. To see you pass this home down to the generations to come would be awesome ♥️
Thanks for including us and love, love the bloopers. We all do it, that's what makes it funny... 👍👍
I love the bloopers or the sometimes funny endings with Eric dressed up to come and measure something? I believe it was in one of the slab pooring video's or shortly after. They have sense of humor that creeps in every now and then. I'm not expecting it every time but it gives a nice ending sometimes. Keep it up guys.
We feel your pain! We're in the process of building an 8 foot wood fence in Hawaii. Metal doesn't last her, so it's pressure treated posts, through lava rock, which is solid in some areas. I can't help anymore, so it's a lot more work for my 74 year old husband.
Love what you're doing. It's amazing how common sense and hard work can make such wonderful projects.
This is an example of team work makes the dream work. It is usually very difficult for couples to do these types of tasks. I am sure.every project isn't perfect but good on you guys
Another great vlog. Thank you two so much. It was great for us. I hope you are feeling better by now. A sauna or a hot tub would do you both a lot of good.
That is definitely going to be a very nice steel pipe fence
for your garden especially with all of those animals that
will get into the garden running around the woods there
have a great rest of the week thanks y'all.🇺🇲🏔️🏔️🇺🇲
You two deserve a nice bedroom for relaxation. You work so hard!
Agree….they need a bedroom off the back over a root cellar with a big bulkhead. 🍅🍅🍅🍅
they seem very happy with what they have,,,,,,
!!!
A great job, the garden will be fantastic when completed. Take your rest and come back ready to start again.
The Eric Bloopers at the end are GOLD 👏
I hope you are hatching that tiny lil egg 🥚
Do you two ever take a day off and just rest and read a book. Laze around and just enjoy a day off. I get tired just watching you. Really enjoy all your videos, and who ever does the editing...KUDOS!!!!✨
Been watching for 4 years now. Awesome when I get the notifications
Me, too…. Almost 5years, but subscribed 4 years ago. I love Alaska. I’ve visited 3 times from Maryland.
Great job!!!!! Rest a couple of days and get back at it. Can't wait to see the garden.
You and @CountryViewAcres are the pipe fence building gurus. His plasma cutter beats your grinder though. Good work! Keep plugging away.
So cool. Thank you for letting us in on your garden plans. Bo’s resting place will be glorious❣️
Keep up the amazing work! I love all the cinematic footage going in the beginning and endings of the recent videos!
The jobs you pair accomplish are quite extraordinary. I want to say Bravo, but that seems paltry given what you achieve. Just amazing. I love the fact that you show us the problems you meet as well, and how you solve them.
(When the helicopter went across at 27:02 I thought the govt. had come to investigate exactly what kind of security encampment you were constructing).
Plus…. I just love the bird intro this time, though many of the birds are unfamiliar to me as a Brit. I say “this time” - I always do, so beautiful and never the same twice.
