How to Install Fence Panels into Concrete Slotted Fence Posts and 2 TOP TIPS

How to Install Fence Panels into Concrete Slotted Fence Posts and 2 TOP TIPS.
In this Fencing video I will show you how to fit a fence panel into concrete fence posts, this is fitting the fence panels into slotted concrete fence posts.
I'll show you 2 top tips, first how to make it easier to slot down the fence panels and second how to secure the fence panels onto concrete fence posts that have crumbled and lost the groove.
This Fences video assumes you have concrete fence posts already installed and only shows you how to erect a fence with concrete posts already present. Broken fence panels should be replaced for your own privacy. If your fence panel has blown down this will help.
Installing or replacing fence panels is a fairly easy task for a competent DIY person and with anything like this, many hands make light work! Make sure you do this on a day where there is not a breath of wind.
Fence panels will expand and move in the wind and when we tighten them it will allow some flexing. Personally I don't like them banging around in the slots as it's very noisy and annoying if it's windy.

After these storms we've been having in the UK I need to replace some fence panels now. Never done it myself before but will now. Great video, thanks mate!

[tanksontour]

I wasn't going to watch your video, I already know how to insert my fence panels! However, I am sure glad I did now! The wire and cable tie trick looks fantastic and just what I need to sort our panels out! Thanks, Andy.

[ruda]

Thanks a lot for this video. I'll be installing my fence panels by myself and I feel I'm ready for this challenge 😁

[ONESIXTHCAVE]

THANKS FOR THIS I RECKON THERE WILL BE QUITE A FEW VIEWS OF THIS AFTER WEEK WE'VE HAD!

[chazparvez]

Nice work - 2 panels sorted. I used soap instead of a candle.

Put the two ends of the coathanger wire in a battery drill and spin slowly to get an even twist.

[alexwilkie]

I just bend one part of the clips outwards rather than trying to slot it from above into place. I’m on my own when I build these type of fences. Placing it straight on is a lot easier. All you do then is bend it back into place then the drill and screw secures it tightly

I was just browsing as to how to get two 6x6 paling panels into my concrete posts (a lot heavier) and I came across this. I was fed up about it, as two of us on ladders have no chance of getting them up....well, I have never laughed so much in my life, never seen anything like it, even me, with no fencing experience at all knows this is wrong and a very ugly bodge job that won't stop your fence wobbling about, but genuinely, thanks, I have cheered up, knowing I couldn't possibly do any worse! Hahaha :-)

Cable ties are a great idea to stop the panels rattling

[whatsupero]

Hey how are you is good to see you again you have grown a lot great job man!!!!

[tonywhite]

Our new fence panels are very heavy, perhaps better quality? If I remove the very top piece of wood, surely the panel will flex enough to offer the panel up to the posts at ground level and bend them into place?

[aloluk]

You really should have put the cable tie ends on your neighbours side!!! I'm going to.

[jomamma]

My fence posts are at differing widths. Do you have a video on how to fit one of those long squiggly-bobs down the sides to make up the gap? Sorry for my lack of fence lingo, but like many others here, this is my first time doing this!

[AnsarTrey]

Do these panels come made? Might be a daft question. One fence has fallen off because of the wind so I only need a small part installed.

[markdavies]

Hi. What drill bit would you use for the cable ties? I have a concrete post that’s moved and now the gap is too big (not big enough for next 6x6) so I’m hoping your cable tie technique will solve the problem. Thanks!

[GG_Gooner]

What if you have no room above ? Trees high bushes ? Can they be installed without having to slide in from above ?

[darrenbaunt]

those panels actually look half-decent. where do you get them? Great vid!

[matthewburns]

So maybe a daft question.. but is there a way to install fence panel from side and not the top? I have to install a new fence panel right up against the house. But my neighbour has a insulation layer installed on his side of the house and it's partly protruding over the inlay groove where I'd slot the panel into place at the top. So annoying really that neighbour couldn't have his contractors take that into account when he had his insulation done several years ago now. The fence was installed 30 years ago now so I'd say it's his fault not mine.

How to fit fence panels: just get 3 other people to do it all for you. Lol 🤣
