NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED on HOW TO BUILD a FENCE from START to FINISH | Gate Build and Fence Staining

Have you been asking yourself if you should build a fence yourself or get someone else to do it. Well if you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty and like to take on a challenge, this project is perfect for you. I will show you how to build a fence from start to finish, from digging the first hole to the final spray when staining the fence. I will also show you a few mistakes I make to make your experience that much smoother.
I saved approximately a minimum of $2000 from the labor alone if someone else built it. Sit back and enjoy the video & I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or comments down in the comment sections.

In one word it’s “outstanding” not only the whole project but also the entire conversation

[con]

finally a video that explains how to set up a string line properly. Completly new to woodworking and every other video just says set up a string line without explaining. Thanks!

[williammarrs]

Videos like this are awesome for people who didn’t have anyone to teach them…. Thanks dad 😑

[ufaxpyro]

Been fencing for almost 10 years now and I approve ! Beautiful work done correctly 👍🙏🏽

[jacobschmidlkofer]

I was on the fence, but now I'm going to get my PHD.

[ignatiusreilly]

Wow, this is so straight-forward, NO experience needed! You don't even need opposable thumbs, eye sight or a limbic system to make this, this is so clear.

[melissatamborra]

My toxic trait is thinking I can do this myself. But I still watched the whole video.

[TheRealMarkSnow]

This is what YouTube is supposed to be. Funny, informative, and helpful. Great job and thank you for putting it together. No doubt that was a lot of work. Thank you - I'll be using this video to build my own fence!

[alivimia]

Let's be honest, I'm only wishing I could do this on my own, but I still couldn't stop watching the whole video. You are hilarious!!!

[averageguy]

Bro, this is not only informative, but funny as heck!

[kriskris]

First time i see such a informative video !! TY this a 12k saving for us !!! Please do more project ! such a very important details for beginners with tools !

[the_jack]

this guy has officially become the best How To Channel on YT

That was one of the best tutorial videos I have ever watched when it comes to explaining how to do something yourself and I was very impressed with every step you took in the process of building something that will last and even with 41 years in construction, I still continue to watch and learn from others to enhance my skills and knowledge because there is always something valuable in a well put together video by someone who knows how important it is to do something once and do the research necessary to feel confident about doing every step correctly and the best way possible to have it last. Your entire method for setting your posts is very impressive and the most effective way yet that I have seen because you didn’t cut any corners when it came to making sure that your post doesn’t rot because it is encapsulated in concrete, and you took the time to make sure you had a substantial amount of concrete on all 4 sides of your post and I am sure you were not happy about having to move them away from the property line, but it was obviously necessary with that particular neighbor and bringing the concrete up above ground level and shaping it so you have proper water runoff and no dirt near the post to cause rot issues. Also, your methods for strength and stability in your runners, and checking for crown in your runners are all great factors to include in your video and extra steps taken for aesthetic appeal and attention to detail are all great tips and points to include in this video. Amazing job and I would highly recommend this video to anyone who is interested in taking on this task themselves for sure and I don’t ever read all of the comments in these instructional videos, but honestly with my 41 years in construction, I can’t imagine anyone would ever consider posting any criticisms that may be in the comments, because I couldn’t find one single aspect of your process that I would critique in any way at all and I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to create this and edit this to absolute perfection and it held my attention 100% from beginning to end and was worth every minute of my time to watch and I would not hesitate to watch it again right before I was getting ready to build a fence just to refresh my memory on everything you did throughout the entire process. This is the only video anyone really needs to watch if they are planning to build a fence for themselves, including me. Thanks again and keep up the great work and contributions to your library. -Billy Miller/Handyman Services & Odd Jobs, LLC in Virginia I have the highest of standards in every job I do, and I would hire you in a heartbeat because it is so difficult to find someone who cares about their work and will go out of their way to perfect every aspect of whatever they are doing, and you prove this right here and with minimal maintenance that fence will last for generations and most homeowners never do after you put so much effort into something for them and they think it will just take care of itself. I will definitely be back to watch more of your work here.

I know this vid is old but I’m abouts move into a place that has a very janky fence Thankyou for all your help brotha man

[nmhenriquez]

3:30 in and I liked and subscribed because you pointed out your mistake and how to fix it ON POINT instead of waiting til the end.
THANK YOU

[Germi]

I appreciate the speed of this video. I usually speed everything up to x1.5 but this one made me check if I had done it already because it sounded like it. Love it :)

[BuckThunder]

Yo man, this video has straight up inspired me to start my own dyi fence. I was apprehensive at first but your vid helped me decide to do it and not be afraid to mess it up lol. Thank you! God bless.

[johnm]

This was perfect. Thank you for your time. Beryl knocked over my fence and a tree also fell on my house - went through the roof and took down a wall. Battling with insurance company to actually pay what it’s going to cost me to rebuild the damaged part of my home (20k under my lowest bid). Building my own fence to try and put money into my home repairs or for a lawyer 😂. Blessings from Richmond, TX

[winter]

I love your fence. My husband and I are thinking about putting up a fence as well. We appreciate you sharing 🫶🏾
