Wood Fence Over Wire Fence or Chain Link Fence | HANDYBROS |

In this video, we installed a privacy wood fence over a wire fence or chain link fence. This is a quick DIY that one could do to their old broken wire fence without breaking the bank as long as the post of the existing fence holds well to the ground. No access from the other side of the fence is required.

This is Great! Thank you for showing how you attached the initial support boards to the metal posts without having access from the other side.

This is exactly what I was looking for. This is going to save me thousands of dollars. Thank you so much for posting this!

dude you're a genius because your method means you don't have to go into your neighbor's backyard. Thank you so much!!!

[hansmariette]

I want to thank you you for your post. I was able to build my fence same way. Big time

[prijak]

Thank you for posting this. I was trying to tell this to contractors but they just didn't get it. I will have to do it on my own! Thanks to your awesome video!

[TheAggressiveHippie]

Exactly what I needed! Very clean and simple approach. Thank you.

This was so helpful. I inherited a chainlink privacy fence with weird green filling and was quoted over 10K for a vinyl replacement and that didn't include removing the chainlink posts and fence. This is a much better solution. I have a wood deck for an above ground pool so I will match the wood color with the color of the deck that I just stripped, sanded and repainted last summer.

Great video, I like that you can do this from your own yard with no need to get into the neighbors yard. One time saver that I'm going to incorporate into my project though....once I measure the first 2 x 6 for the U-bolt placement and drill it....I will use that first one as a template and drill out all the 2 x 6 in one shot, rather than measure each one out.

Thank you for the content, I was considering on taking down the chain link
fence. No need to now & saved me a lot of time. Thank you again.

[Blacklight]

You just saved the day and a lot of money! Appreciate you!

This helps quite a bit. I assume attaching fence panels is similar. A video using fence panels would be welcomed.

Great video and the fence looks great.

Great idea on how to covert a chain link fence into a wood fence . Keep your videos coming .

[Defens]

A neighbor did this and his chain link posts bent during strong winds, a big portion of his fencing has to be replaced. Is there a way to reinforce the fence posts so they can withstand the added wind drag?

[ronski]

Looks nice. Best to keep the bottom of wood posts and slats at least 1/2"-1" above the top of the concrete block wall to prevent the end grain of the wood from absorbing water.

[c.coleman]

Great video. I hope my wooden fence panels work and can extend beyond the height of the chainlink fence. I realize it won't be as stable, but I can live with that. Is there a suggestion for this?

[Street_Costello]

I would’ve taken the chain and the top pole off, and only used the post themselves so from the inside it would be a cleaner look, because they still see the chain from the inside

[Filmguardtint]

Just what I was looking for . Thank you

[saulgutierrez]

This is the best and well explained DIY, no that bs that other channels do, i will do these soon, thank you very muchs bro

[NealSpinler]

Super helpful! My neighbor won't pitch with n to replace the ugly chain link fence between our properties so this solves my issue!
