How to Make a Picket Fence and Gate Part 1 #009

Hi there. More client work this week and I’m making a picket side fence and front gate for a terraced house in West London, and all painted up to match the client’s existing colour scheme. Whether for privacy or just to mark a boundary, every house needs a fence and a gate, and this is how I do mine. Enjoy.

Never has a fence been so precise!!!
Seriously though, i like the way you work, always attentive and thorough!

11:58 was the big test! You wouldn’t believe how many gates have the cross support on the wrong way! Well done, Peter, and I would know because I was on my school’s fencing team! Scott

You have a great, relaxed style on camera. A joy to watch. I like the fence too, the colour is very contemporary. Good work...;-)

Lovely work, I built a picket gate years ago, you have encouraged me to add a matching fence!

[Laughingpolitely]

Amazing job! Really great attention to detail

Hi Peter, I'm new to your channel and can already see it's one of the better ones out there. Your work is top class! I'm a chippie in Bristol and have just set up my first workshop so it's good to watch people like yourself for inspiration. All the best

You're awesome, pleasure to watch and learn from.

Hey Pete, I have been watching a lot of your stuff lately with interest. I am very impressed with your new workshop make over but need to ask you something. I presume you are not going to paint jobs on your new black surfaces. How are you going to operate with paint needs so you don’t spoil your new Stealth look Workshop? Thanks for all your content, as a fellow Brit now living in the USA it’s nice to see a fellow countryman contributing to the Woodwork community. Keep up the good work … Steve

Using Festool I see ... adds to your exemplary work!!!!

Hi what is the colour of the paint on the pales thank you

[emilylindstrom]

"Railings" is a beautiful colour.

Hi, i want to put picket fence on a small wall, , small fence can i use same way you did on this video, only longer posts with wall fittings?? Thanks for the nice video

[BethKjos]

I really like the way you work. Your 39.5 mm comment has me thinking: you seem fond of built-up layout blocks. I'll bet some card stock would give you the half-mm you need, and then it's less fiddly.

[peckelhaze]

I like the colour of that paint, what is it?

[markcopple]

Nice video. However, I am curious why you/customer didn't use pvc boards. Are they available in the uk? Sooner or later those boards are going to start to rot at the bottom. just

My work is much more rustic. Beautiful job.

[jamesbrewins]

Hi Peter, may I ask whether you are using treated redwood ready for use outside or whether its regular interior Redwood and then you’ve treated it yourself?

[johnprice]

Are your gate spacing the same as your fence spacing

[larsgregersen]

Nice video! What type of resin filler are you using?
