Metal/Steel Fence Repair - Rusted out rails and pickets
Показать описание
I didn't see a lot on You Tube about repairing metal fences so after a bit of research and practice, I thought I'd make and post this video. I'm going panel by panel as I repair the rusted fence in my backyard. Each panel takes about 5 hours to refurbish. I do one or two a week. I think I'm on panel #6 in this video.
The fence is made from 1.5" x .060 square tube on the top and bottom. The Pickets are 5/8" x .060 square tube. The 2" square posts were not rusted (I think they're galvanized). This is the 3rd welding project I've done after buying a simple welder on Amazon last year. Tooliom TL-200M using solid .030 wire and C-25 shielding gas.
Please leave a comment with your suggestions on how to do different parts better. I'm always learning.
