Install a Concrete Fence Post (LIKE A PRO !)

In this video I show you how to install a concrete fence post correctly. Concrete fence post installation is a pretty simple process but i have seen time and time again, that it can be done very wrong.

I go into detail on the best way to dig a hole, what tools to use and the process of leveling and concreting in. The depth, width of the hole and right quantity of concrete, which is so important to get right, to prevent a leaning post.

I hope that this video helped you in some way, and if it did, please leave a comment for me in the comments section. I love to hear from people who gained value from any of my videos. I always respond to comments, so would be great to hear from you guys ! 👍

I like the way you use the spirit level as a hammer to knock the fence-post into position.

Didn't feel confident about doing this but now after watching this I feel I can do it. You explain things in a simple and effective way.

About to replace the entire fence in my back garden next weekend so researching now. This video is absolutely fantastic, all key points covered. Super ✨

Best instructional on fence erecting I’ve found. Thanks

[jamieharber]

Really useful video delivered in a non-patronising manner - great tips too, especially the smaller at the top of the hole than at the bottom hole tip ;), nice one!

Has he got that last panel upside down as the cross rails are not in line with the other panels?

[seanmcgrath]

nice job mate. good tip for setting posts. dig your holes a little bit deeper so the post sits about 30-40mm lower than your panel in the bay....then when you put your first bag of mix in slowly lift the panel up to the correct height and the mix flows underneath and holds it if you get me. saves having to have the post in and out etc..

Installing the fence is for me the easy bit, what I really need a video or some advice on is how to attach a wooden gate to a concrete post, can’t find any information anywhere on the subject!

[adolloyd]

Great short explanatory video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together 👍

[brno]

Nice video pal. Quick clamps are my best friend whilst working alone.

Hi, great video. Which close panel fences do use? I have concrete posts and have used Grange close board fences for a number of years but they do not last long…ie only 24 months before warping or the panels become detached as they tend to use staples now. Any advice on stronger panels would be useful, thanks

Great video, thank you for making it.

[mattbandura]

I've just started my fence, exactly same design but on a hill so I have bigger challenge

[lizzapaolia]
