Thank you so much for this video! I just set my posts today with some help from the wife. Your video was my instruction manual for this job. We opted for cedar planks for the fence boards. I showed my wife your three ways of placing the planks. We both like the gap style all the way down. Yours was the best video on the Hoft system that I saw on YouTube. Many thanks! -Tom

Fantastic video! The fence looks great and I love the horizontal lines.

Rough numbers.. around 15k just for materials on your fence plus concrete. As a professional fence installer, i have to say that room & cost for error with this system is not exactly beginner level expectations. As a beginner using this system, use cedar planks at first, then replace them later if the look is undesirable. Or hire a reputable local fence company and enjoy your weekends doing something less stressful.

I can see now how important it is to have the poles level and the right distance so the boards will fit. And yes the height is important too. I think it would be a good idea to lay down one board in the bottom to help keep the correct spacing while your busy leveling the pole with your cement. This is my tip and I never did any fence work before. Is that a good idea? 🤔

I just recently purchased this fence kit. I have 12 posts to install. Most of my holes have been manually dug at this point at around 30 inches. I just need to know you dug yours at 36in but Hoft recommends 24in. Also is the gravel a must, I do live in an area that has harsh winters.

@TheExcellentLaborer Just like last time I messaged you, your pointing to nothing at the end of the video. I know you will fix this, just wanted to let you know again! Thanks for the entertaining video, was fun to watch and learn the process.

Nice job man.. looking good, but that's one expensive fence.

.... leave som boards open toward bac of yard. u can c ur forrest

[OneManLikeNoOneElse]

Wouldn’t you want as few posts as possible for costs reasons? Why not do 7 1/2 lengths for the example measurements you have?

I don't like the way horizontal slats look. Also I think it's an unnecessarily expensive fence. I hope you got a discount for making this video.
