Great video. Thank you. As someone who has been known to get a fit of the giggles at the most inappropriate of times, I do sympathise with your assistant!

Great video! Two questions though: 1) How do you adapt at the corners? 2) Most concrete sleepers are 2m and Colorbond is 2.4. Are you cutting the Colorbond down to fit the 2m length of sleeper or ? Thank you so much ☺️

You are a king mate. I have to repair a colrbond post that was bend. Fortunately only 1 of the 2 side by side post are bent.No choice but to replace it. Problem is it's cemented into the ground as it should but also the neighbour cemented his walkway right up to the post. So it's either excavate and cut some concrete or just do a crap patch. Now I have a similar plan. Cheers

We have a concrete sleeper fence using galvanised H posts. We would like to attach fence brackets to posts but would rather not pull out all the sleepers.. would welding the bracket only along the top part that joins to post be sufficient for securing bracket to post for colorbond fence?

how thick is the flat bar ???? 8mm 10mm ??? great job great idea

[enriquelondres]

Can I do the same if I want to install aluminum slat fencing on top of an existing concrete sleeper retaining wall?

[slypig]

What do you think you should do if it's galvanised H section posts?

Hi Lee great educational video. My question is with the predrilled flat bar is it only predrilled to the point where the Tek screw still cuts a thread in the flat bar or is it only relying on the screw thread cutting into the Colourbond Fence post?
If it is cutting a thread into the flat bar would it not be stronger to sandwich the post between the Tek screw head and flat bar although than the post would have to be marked or predrilled to line up

Yeah g'day fellow South Aussie! Great authentic vid!
What did you use to punch the holes in your 8mm thick steel plates?

[cammy]

Great idea as apposed to using crank posts or shs intermediates. Can I ask how you get the sleepers to the right height? Just packing underneath them or do you trowel the concrete to the correct height when you post? thanks

[WowenandWilma]

I have always wondered how these are put up. Thanks for sharing. Your assistant couldn't hold it together hahaha.

[dennistompkins]

hey mate have you installed the flat bar any other way other than welding ? eg. bolts ? is it sufficient ? for a 2.4m span?

[krombopulosmichael]

Hi mate, what model welder do you use?

[mijangoz]

Is there no issue re rust /corrosion with the flat bar being mild and not gal?

[dudadam]

Good job guys.... I'm a learner in this that is really good

Hi Lee, my neighbour and i have to do exactly this in a few weeks. Is there a minimum depth for the retaining wall H beams have to be in the ground when doing a standard colourbond fence into ground its 600mm hole with a 150 footing. Should we treat retain and fence as a 7ft colourbond fence and do deeper holes? The fence is 100m long about 50m retaining wall. Thanks. Daz

Hi
are those 1800mm spans or 2400mm spans

You're a natural in front of the camera - good information, succinctly put. This video, and the one on setting the wall in, couldn't have come at a better time. A fencer just introduced me to this wall and fence arrangement, and although I haven't got his quote yet, I fear it's going to compel me to do this job myself - I built my house, so should be good with this (and I have a welder). Keep your videos coming.


Questions: those screws seem quite long - wouldn't they interfere with the fence panels, and what thickness flat bar do you use please?

[bartman]

Nice work will rust out in a couple of months and bleed down the concrete sleepers

[liamcasey]

does the welded on bit sit in between 2 posts or just in one of the rails
