How to Install a Welded Wire Fence the Fast & Easy way with Elevation Changes, No Digging

This is a quick step-by-step tutorial for installing a wire net fence, also called garden wire, garden netting, welded wire, etc. Technically it's not chicken wire but it's similar. This particular fence is 4 feet tall with 4 inch gaps, which meets regulations for fencing in a pool in most municipalities. It also helps keep your dog from chasing critters. The stakes are 5 ft U-posts.

This is just temporary fencing until I can install permanent posts and make it look pretty. My backyard has several elevation changes, so this video also covers how to change the angle to accommodate changes in terrain. This might not be the look you want long-term, but it's functional.

I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary valueless talking, thank you for getting right to it and being easy to understand.

That is how you do a video for diy people who want to keep it real. Great job.

Thank you so much. I'm a single mom with a 9 yr old son and I believe we will be able to achieve this, thanks to this video🙌🏼

My partner and I are renters, and we've been searching for an affordable fencing option that our landlord wouldn't give grief over. This is a perfect alternative, a good weekend project. Your video is neat, thorough, and informative. Thanks

I really needed this simple instruction. I'm a single lady moving into a disaster. I enjoyed you video because it was simple and I know what tools and products I now need. You saved me money and time, and I subscribed because of it. Any videos on replacing carpet, windows, or repairing holes in walls would be an amazing help to me! Thank you for what you do! I feel encouraged!

This is exactly what I needed to see. I bought a hug roll of 6' welded fencing at a garage sale for the low price of $5! I couldn't believe it. I asked if he'd take 5 and he said yes! I Intend to make a chicken run with it. Thanks for putting this video up.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. The Home Depot welded fence description suggests u poles but the t poles are 20% cheaper! And I didn’t know about post driver before - thanks, i’d smash it with sledgehammer if I didn’t watch your video.

First time I’ve seen someone use those clamps correctly. Nice job!

[Rigoletto]

I just installed a fence using your video and you couldn't have made it simpler--came out great! Thank you.

This has been super helpful! I’ve referenced this video several times while deciding how to fence in my yard for the dogs. Picking up all the materials tomorrow.

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution..

[tonyzuccaro]

Just what I needed. I’m buying a house but need a temporary quick solution for my dogs to have a place to run. This works. Thx

[tituskao]

As usual, I started my fence project without doing much research and made a bunch of mistakes. I like your video because you gave solutions to problems I hadn't encountered (yet). Thanks for creating this!

[gingercapps]

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen. You made it look so easy! Right to the point, gave quick solutions to specific issues without jumbling up the video. I am now confident that I can do this project alone. Just for giggles I’m not going to tell my husband how I knew how to do it until after!

[keithjamesthomson]

Wonderful. Not the most difficult project, but never having done one before, I knew there were things I should learn first. You answered the questions I had for this project (dealing with corners, clamping to the post, dealing with changes in level). Excellent video. Thank you.

[ibramhanna]

Thank you for making the best instructional video I’ve seen in a while! Straight to the point, and actually helpful! Thank you thank you

Hi Blake, you helped me and hubby save my guinea pigs in their outdoor oasis.Eternally thankful!

[shelleb]

I think you did a great job with these fence instructions! I'm a single female and attempting to build a 100ft fence for my dog and this just gave me everything I need including the confidence to tackle it! Ill be coming back for the gate.. Thank you! (FYI every store I've been to or online refers to these as T Posts) Always has to be a jerk somewhere to throw negatively.

[bethika]

Thank you! We're renters who are moving into a place with a yard that's only partially fenced. The landlord said we could put up a temporary fence for our dogs. I helped my mom install a fence like this as a teen, but didn't feel confident to just dive right in. Your video is perfect

[mindfulbynature]

I've done this same kind of fencing for years at multiple places I've lived for keeping my dogs in, so I make sure it's super tight to the ground, and I use the 6 ft because it is the only height really sure to keep dogs from jumping or climbing out. Great video, thank you!
