    33:14 - For my aesthetic preference: If doubling up some boards, I would have done the doubled up boards with no spacer near the bottom then a spacer between every board near the top. I’d prefer the aesthetic of having the extra thickness near the bottom and a “lighter” look at the top. Even better would have been to rip the bottom board lengthwise so that then it was a space between every board with only the bottom board being narrower. Either way, those are aesthetic preferences.

  • @_EleventHour
    @_EleventHour ปีที่แล้ว +46

    Your issue with the height of the top board being too tall was because the system is designed that you do not need a spacer below your first board. It is built in to the columns so that it keeps the bottom board elevated already. But overall, good looking system and easy install!!

    I like the way it was done. Gap on the bottom for us who deal with snow. Air flow more on the lower area and double boards to kind of cover the faces more of the people standing on the deck for noise reduction and privacy. I like it. You are good at this.

    Solution for your hight issue: Remove the top board. Measure the left over space. A) Just cut the left over piece to this dimension and use it as "extraordinary piece" B) if you dont want ot to be asymmetrical, cut two pieces that total with spacer equal to the gap size. Put one of the extraordinary piece to the bottom and the other to the top. You may even paint black to give a frame-ish look 😊

    I think the gap is preference based on how much wind exposure you get and how much privacy is warranted. Me, I'd go spacer, 2 boards, spacer, 2 boards to make it work out in your favor.

    I think double at the bottom and single at top would look better. gives a more large on bottom to small on top aesthetic that most buildings go with. Such as roofs being pointed, top finish pieces going big to small ect. When on the deck, will probably be sitting most of the time relaxing. more privacy coverage this way too. Either way it came out pretty nice and way too easy lol. Good job on finished product.

I'm going with 6ft centers on posts and was wondering if I need a vertical board in the middle to keep the boards from warping or bowing. I wish I could go 8ft on centers but the product insists on 6ft.

    I like that fence system. Looks very nice. If I counted correctly you have 3 double stacks and 6 single stacks per section.

From the angle of the neighbor's yard, they'll be seeing only ankles and tops of heads. Just my opinion.

    ok, because i'm cheap.. TELL me.. wouldn't it be cheaper to have bought 2x4's and used a router to cut a 5/8" hole down the middle to slide the boards into?? cuz that's what i'm thinking of doing? cheaper than buying the metal 2x4's..

    Knowing that you had to double stack some, I think i would've been better to double stack then single stack on that privacy fence, in order to gain some "consistency" as you said. looks like you might have been able to double stack once at the bottom, once at the top, and once in the middle, providing a single stripe around the middle. 2 cents from someone who's opinion doesn't matter. Great video!

    i got this exact product around my land and your board will sink in those spacer a bit more than what you put them. With all the spacers and board dry i have about 1" from the last board to the very top of the cap. Youll see what i mean when you feel like your board are not lining up to the next. Its a good product and system but has flaws. Overall looks better than a normal fence but the price is higher at 150$ a post.

    I installed one of these and find the wind hits it pretty hard/creaks. Looking to install a new deck board below but worry this might persist. Anyone run into this issue?

    Someone mentioned no need for spacers on the bottom. Do a dry run, lay the boards on the ground with spacers and measure the height, adjust as needed.

    I don’t like the double boards. I would have made 1 thinner board in the bottom, and make the spacing consistent.

    for me, I really like privacy so I would have left out the spacers and went all the way to the top (board on board)..even if i had to rip one and put it at the bottom or top so it isnt as noticeable..

      nice to have space for wind to blow through to reduce the risk of tearout. Cheers!

      @@HomeRenoVisionDIY I was going to agree with the top comment as that’s what I would prefer but your answer is more logic and last a long time😅 so like you said we have to sacrifice something, I think the pattern you done was great, brilliant work and explanation as always 👍🏻

      @@HomeRenoVisionDIY I am here in Texas and even though we do have some winds at times..we have board on board with NO gaps and do just fine. So unless it is blowing 45+ mph alot, I see no need to leave gaps.

    What were the size anchors that you used? I don't believe you referenced them again after having your co worker running to get more.

    nice product. I'm wonding how this would hold up with strong wind or if someone were to lean against it.

      That all depends on if you have a thick enough frame under the bords do all 5 screws are in the frame and not in the deck boards. Cheers. Been 8 months now and more than 1 party. So far so good

    But
    You said to but extra spacers in case you run into same issues.
    Logic says you used less spacers for your double stacks.. no ?

    I think I woulda ripped the excess off one, board and put it at the bottom. From 5’ish off the ground I think it would be barely noticeable, if at all. But I also live out in the middle of the woods, so I don’t worry about privacy…..cell signal is an issue, but privacy is not! 😂😂

    I used the Home Depot version that I screwed the channels into a wooden post then added the deck boards. I was amazed at just how much those boards shrank. Did the gaps get even larger on these?

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that is why you apply the stain. it seals the wood and helps prevent shrinkage. also good to let the wood dry out before install.
