    Great video, I've just done exactly this to my front fence posts, bottom 650mm had 2 coats of bitumen, and 3 bags of postcrete per post. Quick question do you bring the concrete haunching upto or above ground level or leave it just below ground level and back fill with soil, I have approximately 80mm between the top of my postcrete and ground level. 👍

      Bring the haunching to just above ground level, so any water around the post will drain away from the post 👌⚒️

    Post savers are a more simple way of doing this with no mess, and they're bitumen based I believe. 99p each and guarantee wooden fence posts for 20 years. Nice

      Fair play! I didn't realise they were so cheap! I'll have to look into them! 🙌⚒️

    I've recently installed a fence with roof battons thanks to your videos. Can you tell me what's best to put on them now it's up. Is it better to stain it with a colour or to put oil on it.

      Awesome! We like to use a clear uv protection from osmo, but it's up to personal preference really 👌⚒️

    Great as ecer pal. Out of interest the post holes. Do they need to be so big? Ive got a some fencing to do over the next few weeks. Gonna use 4x4 posts. What sort of post hole size would you recommend?

    • @Matipolandscaping
      @Matipolandscaping  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No need to go so big with the holes.. we pulled out an old fence n they had used heaps of concrete, left us with huge holes.. I'd say aim for approximately 200 x 200mm holes for a 100mm post 👌⚒️

    Why didn't you cut the posts to height at the beginning and put the cut end to ground? Like a fencer would

    • @Matipolandscaping
      @Matipolandscaping  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We had to cut the posts at an angle to get the top cap to sit right 👌⚒️ heaps of different methods for this sort of thing..
