    Its glad that you get it and can profit from it. Thank you sir! This is what makes America great. Men who take a negative and make something positive out of it. I'm sure this goes on more so in some cities than others.

    Wanted to say I enjoy your videos . I've been building fence for almost 40 years. Mostly chain link. Don't really care to do wood fences. But I was gonna mention that if you don't know if your chain link will weave or work with an existing chAin link ,like in this video , just count the diamonds start at the top with a full diamond and count down. Usually it ll be anywhere between 18 -20 1/2 diamonds. Just so long as they're the same amount on both, they ll weave or work with each other. No problem. IDC if you're using 6 GA and trying to weave it with 12 1/2 ga itll work. Just as long as they have the same amount of diamonds. Hope that helps someone.

    Thank you for your response. You are saying that if posts were installed on a relatively even surface, they should not tilt more than they already do, correct? Thank you.

    I have a fence repair question if you don't mind. I recently repaired a small section of fence in my backyard that was damaged by a tree fall. The fence is 5 foot tall and I was able to find 5' fence at my local Lowes. The fence I picked up is 11.5 gauge (I think) or it might be 11, I don't have the tag handy. Either way, it looks, to my untrained eye, like it is the same gauge as the existing fence. As I attempted to weave the new fence into the old, it wasn't lining up quite right. The links appear to be the same size and I was able to weave the splice in but once it was together, the top of the new fence doesn't line up with the existing fence. It is just a little higher. At first I thought it was because the ground was getting in the way, the old fence had been buried in the ground. But I had the ground cleared away from the old fence and I don't think it was impeding the new fence. Then I counted the links (the diamonds) in both fences and they weren't the same. I think the old fence had 18 diamonds from top to bottom and the new fence had 19. Those numbers may be off and I'd have to go back and count again to be sure but it was one off between the two. Hopefully I've adequately explained what I'm seeing and given you enough to diagnose the problem. Did I inadvertently buy a different gauge of fence? Is there some other explanation for what I'm seeing? Thanks in advance for any help.

      One way to make sure the mesh is correct, measure the distance between the diamonds, they should measure the same 2" or 2-1/4". Another way to put the two together is by using a piece of smooth wire 9ga., I slide that down in between the diamonds, just make sure you have two full diamonds to stitch together. When you went to weave the first two together, did you have one diamond on one side of mesh and then one half of diamond on the other mesh to weave in one picket to make the two full diamonds, If you weave two full diamonds together then the top of the fabric will be at two different heights. I hope it helps,.. Merry Christmas

      @@jwthefencer Thanks very much, that does help. I'll have to go back out and check what I did and maybe redo the weave. I thought I had one full diamond and one half but I honestly can't remember now. I will also measure the diamonds and compare. Thanks again for your help. I really did not expect a reply on Christmas day. 🙂 Merry Christmas to you too!

    Hello,
    I’d like to ask for your advice. I have a fence with 19 terminal posts in a straight line. The terminal posts are 2-3/8” inches and 6ft tall above the ground. They are embedded 24 inches down in concrete. Approximately 15 of these posts are not plumb. They are slightly not level. Approximately 5 degrees off. I have a top rail going. I have also a top rail bar that is tension banded between all of these posts. My worry is that over time the terminal posts will continue to tilt. Should I correct them now or is it not worth the effort? What kind of lifespan can I expect if they are going to continue to tilt? Thank you in advanced.

    • @jwthefencer
      @jwthefencer  ปีที่แล้ว

      You could straighten them out now, why di the come out of plumb? Correcting the mistake now before the customer catches it and complains would be well worth the effort, the posts shouldn't tilt unless they were set on a slope,.. I hope this helps

    Is it possible to splice a 11 gauge wire into a 10 gauge fence? Assuming they are both the same 1-3/4 size. Having a hard time finding a 10 gauge roll anywhere.

    • @jwthefencer
      @jwthefencer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow,.. interesting. First time I have even heard of 10 ga. wire. mostly 9 ga. and 11 ga. wire. I do run into the 11-1/2" ga. wire so thin you could chew threw it. Best thing I could suggest is to get a few pickets of the 11 ga. and see if the 10 ga. and the 11ga. would weave together. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for viewing.
