I followed your instructions and absolutely nailed it. Crushed it. Doing this myself saved me possibly $3, 000 or more.

[MAYBEDUNO]

I'm shocked that you guys actually pointed out your mistakes. That's awesome not a lot of people do that. And for that I give you two thumbs up

[paulsandlin]

Thanks for putting this video together, Andrew. I will be using this to tear my current fence down and build a new one. Nicely done!

Amazed you took on this particular project now with the astronomically high prices of lumber. The costs are prohibiting me from doing lots of needed renovations. I enjoy your videos!

[tanyabetterblessed]

Thank you Andrew my son and I will be doing this your video has made me confident that we can accomplish the job and do it right based on the expert guidance that you provide in your video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your time it's so appreciated and has removed the fear from a test that was totally overwhelming but needed to be done! ❤️

When i built my fence, only thing i did differently was to use 16' 2x4 for more stability and strength. Its redundant, but very satisfying when its complete.

[tashanathompson]

You make it look so easy I want to try this myself. I need a fence but I got a few quotes ranging from 5k-8k.

[Lizzieb-xrik]

Love this! My husband & I just bought a home in August & 2 sides of the fence need replacing. It’s the same Dog ear type, but I think all the posts need replacing too. I’ll be excited to try this in the spring!

[elvinherrera]

Thank you for sharing the cost $ I’ve been quoted $10, 000 & $6, 000 glad to know that you spend less than $2, 000 I just need to put in the time and LABOR! 😅😎

Getting ready to repair the privacy fence at my house. Thanks for the tips. I feel a lot better about the upcoming job now.

[gettothechoppa]

Just built something similar and something to consider is the cost of staining the fence is insane. I did this instead of a pvc fence because I wanted to save some Money but to stain both sides it was another $800 to the cost. Unless your planning on letting your hard work turn grey something to consider if your budgeting this project.

My daughters and I will try this before winter starts. Good video, thanks for sharing.

[williamdavis]

Great video, and looks like you're doing a bunch of manageable weekend projects. Looking forward to catching a bunch more of them while I'm on my own project list.

[ferrellscales]

When you mixed the concrete before you put it in the liked the video immediately. Great job lol

By far my favorite fence installation video that gives me motivation to DIY.

[thestrugglingoptimist]

This is awesome! Very clear instructions. Definitely coming back to this video when I go to build my privacy fence!

[chadwhick]

Thanks for your video...im building a privacy wall and now I have a better idea thanks to your video.

[beachday]

The one thing I don't see anymore nowadays for wooden fences, is white picket fences, or any painted fence. Everything is bare wood or stained. I like the look of a painted fence to match the house. Unpainted wood fences I think in my area just fell out of fashion for some reason.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Looking to replace our low pickets to privacy fencing to block out our neighbors. Needed to see this as a refresher.
