Remember doing this for my tia: me, my brother, my tio, my dad, my cousin and grandpa we built that fence real good and did everything just like in this video a real sweet nostalgic loving memory we had through some hardworking bonding time as a familia;);):):):):););):):) wouldn’t trade it for the world:);) 🌎 💗
Very Useful information. It is very useful for me to install fencing at my farm in India. Thank you , Regards, Ravi Patil ,Farmer , Latur, Maharashtra, India
You are awesome thank you!! We put up perfectly level and straight posts for the very first time thanks to this video. Of course I screen shot the supply list you provided which was super helpful, but for anyone who reads this..... remember a knife for the cement bags hahahahahaha the keychain knife I luckily had in the truck barely made it lol
Jason, Great job! The more videos I watch, I realize that I am able to install my own fence and save thousands of dollars. Just know, if I go with the DIY method, you have to be there to answer the questions I may have. :)
Hi Adrian. We would need to talk to you over the phone or get a quote request from you through the website to get an idea on the materials you need. You can call us at 800-261-2729
With steel and aluminum posts (that we sell and handle) the posts are true sized. So a 2x2 steel post is actually 2 inches by 2 inches. However, if you are using wood or composite posts, you are correct. Those are sized nominally meaning that a 4x4 wood post is actually a 3.5 x 3.5 wood post. I didn't bring up nominal post sizing only because we don't sell those types of posts. Good comment though if you are using these tips for a wood fence!
IF you mix the concrete on the dry side with a chunky peanut butter consistency, you should be able to stand the posts up in the hole without support. Just remember not to mix the concrete too wet and keep it to a drier mix.
So long as you are double checking each post between setting them, there is no right/ wrong answer. I find it's usually easier to start at the high point when I've dealt with grades.
How do u keep the post exactly at proper depth for the proper finished height - measure from hole depth to a marked spot up from the bottom of pole or different method
You can go about it a few ways. The key number you want to watch is the amount of post above ground. If your fence is 4ft tall and you want a 3in gap under it, then I want to measure from top of the hole at the ground to the top of the post to make sure I have that 4ft 3in. If I don't then dig deeper or add some gravel to build it up. We recommend that you are looking at that installed 4ft 3in post height WITHOUT the cap on the post too. That way, when you add the cap on, if one post is slightly off from the other, you don't really notice.
You would for the aluminum fence. On the iron, the angle brackets only allow about a 20 degree deviation from 90. However, you could also 'pivot' the post between two panels with angle brackets on both sides of the post to get a little more angle with the iron
Hi Rick. It's going to vary based on the type of fence and application. Iron and aluminum fence space differently and even aluminum to aluminum can space differently by manufacturer depending on how they are built.
Hi Francis. Our sales and support office is in Stow, OH and we ship out of three different warehouses across the entire US depending on what materials you are getting and where you are located.
This is so much easier than those other TH-cam videos. People make this more complicated than it actually is!! Thank you!!!
Glad it helped! We work with a ton of DIY folks and we always tell them its much more common sense and planning than technically difficult.
This a very thorough and professional video. Thank you.
Glad it helped out!
This is going to be my first project on my own. Wanting to do it well for these people, thanks for the info years later!
How’d if go and turn out wishing the best for you all out there and you too pal with all my heart:);)

Glad the videos help! Sometimes something visual goes a long way.
Thank you so much
Great info thanks 🙏🏼 keep videos coming. Also do you have measurements how to build and size of material I need? Thanks 🙏🏼

Good video, only thing I didn't like is I didn't hear you say a 2x2 or 4x4 aren't actually those measurements...a 4x4 is actually 3.5x3.5
With steel and aluminum posts (that we sell and handle) the posts are true sized. So a 2x2 steel post is actually 2 inches by 2 inches. However, if you are using wood or composite posts, you are correct. Those are sized nominally meaning that a 4x4 wood post is actually a 3.5 x 3.5 wood post.

@@Ironfenceshop thank you for your reply.
Was supporting the posts while concrete is drying not necessary? I’m also setting square aluminum posts
IF you mix the concrete on the dry side with a chunky peanut butter consistency, you should be able to stand the posts up in the hole without support. Just remember not to mix the concrete too wet and keep it to a drier mix.
Great
Great job and nice video :)
If I’m installing posts into ground that has a slight slope, should I start at the low point or the high point?

811 only comes out for free to mark utilities from the pole to the meter. Not from your house to a barn. I found that out unfortunately.
If the fence turns at say 130 degrees, do you need the swivel mount?

how far apart are the post holes you did`nt explain

Why not show 3 4 5 to get squared corner
no need he used a speed square
Because there's more than one way to skin a cat and get the same result
