Never tends to be a fun day when slats are on the job sheet!
One thing we do is bend the bottom angled part of the slat back into itself so when we insert them they don’t tend to pop out of random diamonds when going down. Not sure if it’s faster but we’ll stick about 10 in at a time in the top few diamonds then use both hands to slide them down.

😂 After watching this video, I took a job installing these in a school tennis court. Boy did I make a mistake. New fence is easy. Existing fence with a million dents, bends and dings is a complete nightmare.

I remember installing about half a mile of, I believe it was PermaHeadge, made in Jamaica, NY., more than a hundred years ago now. Nicely did Dan.

Much better than the old aluminum we use to put sideways with a sideways locking strip

How about some tips on installing fence with pre installed slats @ like 98%?

I never considered the wind! Thank you so much for mentioning that!! The gate of my chain link fence was hit by a car and now the sliding pole doesn’t line up with the female part in the ground…any suggestions on what to do? It’s extremely rocky hard dirt so digging it up feels next to impossible. It’s only off by life an inch. What do you suggest? It’s tall like at least 6-7ft. Also what would you recommend for the most privacy but it’s extremely windy. Probably just going to do the double swinging gate part for now since it seems to be so pricey. Thank you for the video and for your help!

Thanks for great content. During a lengthy nasty non-covid virus, I binge-watched almost all of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was surfing to find out how YouTubers make money off the videos. I always assumed it was by having the videos watched and getting a thumbs up. I was wrong; it is by watching and clicking the ads. Well ... I have an ad blocker. Ugh. So I hope this makes up for some of what you got shortchanged. And I'm sorry for picking on your height. I can see in videos that your head is pretty dang close to the height of the fence. Or ... is it a 4' fence? hmmm.

Dan, I can’t believe you went there!

I have always considered the fare presented by SWI to be ‘Family Friendly”. And then…. You start talking about walkin’ around in your yard with your naughty bits exposed. I was gob smacked!!!

The image of a a grown man flittering around his property au’ naturale, displaying his nekid goose pimpled blue body for all the world to see… was bad enough to have embedded in my brain… but then, you had to go and graphically illustrate a facsimile of… it right before my eyes… well Dan, that did it. I now have it seared into my retinal membranes for life!

Please rush me an order of 6’ slats so that I can block the view of my big screen TV before the sequel video drops. I fear that if you dawdle in my request, I may struggle to have a good danged New Year!

PS:please thank MBTC for advising you that a fencing uniform was a much wiser wardrobe choice than wearing an actual birthday suit!

An off subject question here but who better to ask then SWI. Why is nobody using any kind of sealant (oil, bitumen, tar) to seal wooden posts (4x4) when setting in the ground for fencing? We all know where precisely they rot and why. I am a contractor fixing those kind of broken fences all the time. It is a mystery to me and perhaps you can help solve it. Thanks in advance and you have a good dang day … and happy new year.

Can you tell me what the SS20 means? We get wind up in Illinois, subdivision, looking for maximum privacy, but wondered if we could go with the more private as you stated SS20 with our 4' metal fence.

Outstanding vid. What’s the strongest privacy or semi privacy fence for high wind like in Sarasota, FL? Do you like slats over privacy screen? Does SWI cover Florida?

[joshuasteel]

What are the “winged” privacy slats you used in this video? They seem to provide the most coverage I’ve seen.

[freedomfab]

How do know when you can just drive chain link post direct into the ground with no concrete? Advantage disadvantages of doing it this way. I had no idea it was even a option to do it that way until I seen your video.

[chasych]

whats the distance for each column post of cyclone wire?thanks

[HerbertAtkinson]

Just plant morning glory vines or black eyed susan thunergia flower vines against the fence within 2-3 years the fence will be covered much that no one will be able to see in.

How many liner feet can you install in a day with one guy?

[tayelorwallace]

Do those two that are sticking up just a smidge bother anyone else?
