ausie.. we use steel.. theres top hat sections, 6.2m long. or fence rail, 38mm x 28mm. 7.5m long. the top hats, can be light duty, or grinder heavy duty.. why the hell do you use timber.??.. that adds a sht ton of weight. also, the posts, would be 75mm rhs, not top hats, there weak for support..
thats very labout intensive.. its a farm. not a housing estate..
how you mark the screws.. from the last known screw, you level to the centre of the batton, then texta dot, where the screws go. horizontal, not vertical. 1200mm leval all you need..
i hope yur gona silicone the wood gaps, then give the timber 3 coats of linseeeeed..or not..
it does look really good, a bit of color, like paper bark, or something would be nice, but,, fk that.. too nice..
Most states have a fence Law, one way or another. Many states have a common Law fence rule only when the fence is built right on the property line. That means that the neighbor now controls their side of your fence. When I build a fence, I build 1 foot over on my side of the property line. That way if any arguments or issues arise from the neighbor regarding your fence, they have NO SAY IN IT, because it is completely on your property and NOT the shared property line. If they want to do anything to the fence, they would have to trespass onto your property in order to touch your fence. The fence now would NOT be considered common fence Law. That one foot of property you think you lose, you actually GAIN full control of, rather than having your neighbor take you to court and try to claim part control over shared fence argument, when in fact, it is 1 foot on your property away from the property line. Settles any future arguments any neighbor would ever have with you.
On point ..... And Why is it so hard for those types of neighbours to understand that the other guy wants a rest over your loudy mouth.
One foot? I would say that is absolutely ridiculous, one inch is more than enough.
10 years later your neighbor can claim that 1’ as their property since they have been maintaining it all that time. Maybe not as smart an idea as you think it is.
@@erniemenard7727 nope. That is considered to be on the property line, and common fence law kicks in. It needs to be far enough on your property to account for any small variance of the survey. No survey is 100% correct, and you don't want to find out the hard way that you spent several $K on a fence that your neighbor can just tear down just to upset you.
Good advice 🤔
Built a fence like that 15 years ago still standing zero maintenance
So you have seen a fence like that before
hehehehe well said. personally I'd hope not to have to look at such a thing, let alone for 15yrs @@zmdoor
I was thinking the material used for this fence would make it virtually maintenance free, and last for years, plus it looks great.
I’m surprised wind doesn’t blow it over with no place for wind to go thru it.
My neighbor has same kind of fence though it is rusted and cool.
My grandpa built bull and horse corrals and fencing from corrugated steel, sign posts which were pretty much the same as postmasters, well piping and sucker rods. In fact, he built everything from it that he could. The stuff he put up 70+ years ago is still standing as well as the rest. Tough.
For about 100 years this has been the standard Australian suburban fence. Corrugated iron roofing is incredibly common too.
Was waiting for this comment. Americans think they come up with everything. One strong tornado or storm will make these panels disappear.
Did you think about pre drilling all the holes in the panels first? Drill about 10 at a time and use the same top sheet for every 10 panels so the holes are the same. No need to keep marking every hole
That's what I do when siding pole barns too
That would be great but the geound always has ups and down no matter how flat it looks
I had a corrugated steel fence with concrete posts we built in 1986. Smart not too concentrate too much on the posts being exact, and just cutting the wood after. I used treated 2 x 6 boards in 16 foot lengths and carriage bolts through the custom made posts. PVC pipe was used to make the holes for the bolts.
How has it stood to the test of time and weather, etc..?
@@BornAgainCarnivoreIt was doing well until hurricane Wilma dropped a tree on it.
I'm not planning to build a fence, but I really like this video. It was entertaining and shows off your ability to find novel solutions to a challenging task. The face and top board treatments are great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Nice spite fence💕
I wanted to build a fence like this, the city (USA) said no "too ugly". Being surrounded by rotting/falling down cedar/treated pine and chainlink fences is better. Not to mention steel is recyclable. So much for being 'green' (and having a sense of taste and imagination). All over the world they use steel and in imaginative ways.
here in aus. most new housing estates, are the same color fence. mine is paper bark, dull cream, just moved here to moonta bay.. from salisbury, 1/2 acre.. to 1/4 acre. 2 sheds.. anyhoo.. guy bought the house up street on corner, just built a shed, steel,,no timber,. the f,n thing is gray.. ??.. if i knew that, i would of got a pink fence. joke.. frigin stix out like 6 sore thumbs.. its legal here being country ish. to live in a shed till house built.. very few places do that. as to kangaroo,s & dingo,s.. what does a dingo have for breakfast.....................a pis & a look around.. what do you get when you cross a kangaroo with a sheep......................... woolly jumper..
Around here (south eastern Oregon) we get some truly scary winds so people in town have used this type of fencing but only four feet tall. The last two feet is privacy lattice also made out of cedar. Very attractive fencing that lasts for years.
My city said similar shit but completely fine to have bent chain link fencing and warped rotton topped wood fence, yes even cedar deteriorates on top in the Texas sun
It's because of residential zoning laws. You can build any kind of fence in a commercial, industrial or agricultural zoned area.
Downside of those fences is unlike pickets no wind gets through so if you live in areas with potential high wind gusts I've seen it bend the posts over or the fasteners pull loose and the panel becomes a kite. Here in Colorado the blowing snow also pushes them over as unlike pickets no snow gets through so it just piles up one side.
Wind is definitely a nemisis around here! We can get 60-70 mph gusts in our part of Wyoming, so we have to engineer for it. Surprisingly, the wind load on this really isn't much more than a solid picket fence with minimal gaps. It still carries a considerable windload of course, which is why we go as deep as we do (to get below frost line) and use as much concrete as we do (just shy of 300 lbs per hole).
A QUALITY job guys! I like the use of a story pole for screw placement, and just enough fasteners but not too many. Aplus from a picky old carpenter, and that ain't easy!
Correct
You guys are straight up bad ass fencers 💪🏽
Mad respect for the quality of workmanship (& video editing)! It's a shame that the trades are not promoted more in our society.
Great technique, looks beautiful. Like how you’re trusting visual layout and alignment.
Another supreme SWI professional project!
Great work Dan and team well done 👍
It's always refreshing to see someone work hard and do a great job.
I appreciate that!
2:19 Watched your 4 foot chain link video and was impressed with your presentation. This was a much more detailed install...just be able to line and set to grade all your posts with 8 yards of deliverd concrete is a feat of itself... temperature and weather was on your side! And of course your attention to detail is shown in the finished product. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate those compliments!
Custom that's old school for years here especially around some of the big salvage yards and auctions. Hey i like the idea you have real good help. He did exactly what you said about dropping the tape.
My neighbor built a fence like this and I hate the fricking thing. The amount of glare that this produces in the bright sun is ridiculous. Gee, who would of thought.
I was thinking about that!
You can always paint your side of the fence just use chalk paint it gives it a flat dull finish
Use A606 next time, let it rust. Beautiful color with greenery around it, costly but once and done!
Nice work, an excellent outcome and good advice along the way - many thanks!
Thank you!
You guys are hilarious. I wish I could have your attitude when I do a big job. I’m trying. Thanks for the video
I'm a fencing contractor in Australia. Been doing it maybe 18 years now. You guys are the only American fencers I have ever seen do things the same as the good contractors do here! Awesome work and great explanations. I also love that you are using Knipex cutters and Strainrite tools like we do here! Have you used Aussie fence fittings for attaching steel pipe to steel round posts as rail for strainers? Worth looking into, they save sooo much welding and are just as strong if not stronger.
Thanks! That's a high compliment. Haven't seen those--we'll have to check them out! 👍🏻
Built one of these about 8 years ago with the thick poly terra-cotta roof panels. Did some extra framing for aesthetics. Neighbors loved it.
Great execution on a custom fence. We are getting ready to build a fence on 300' of property line with the neighbors. Your videos have provided tons of important tips on measuring, fasteners, cement, leveling, etc. Hornets and yellow jackets in our area (western Oregon) nest between fence panels. Something to consider based on local.
Nice work!!!
great job, top cap in particular looks great. In Australia pretty much every second fence is corrugated galv steel and they last forever and only look better with aging patina
I built a similar fence 20 years ago for my brother. Instead of steel, he wanted a translucent white fiberglass panels. Other than being dirty it mostly looks the same as the day we put it up.
Thanks. I’m going to cap my fence the same way Looks great.
Someone did one these in my neighborhood and it had slightly more trim boards.....it looks fantastic!
Always fascinating to watch skilled craftsmen perform a job 👍🏼
Fantastic work… Love it.
Many thanks!
God thats just beautiful !! Outstanding job my man !! Give yourself a pat on the back !! I am going to start watching your videos from now on !
I've seen several of those corrugated fences here in central Texas. Thanks for showing!
I put in a similar fence for a friend about 20 years ago. Still doing great. I don't think I'd recommend one normally between neighbors, but this one was against a city strip that was overgrown. This kept the weeds and berry bushes from growing thru the fence. It was 6 foot also, and on a slope, so there was a bit more trouble in making sure the "steps' worked out. Biggest problem we had was cutting corrugated nice and cleanly. But I had some electric shears that did well on it. I've put in corrugated on barns and used a plasma cutter that did well, but there is galvanizing on the panels, so that is not nice with a plasma cutter.
How does it do against the wind ??
Used post masters for a fence I built, super solid
A kickboard matching the face trim would improve the look.
great looking fence and great privacy! Thank you for the video 🤓😎
Awesome nice work
That is a really good looking privacy fence.
Beautiful fence! Great work guys
Thanks!
Great job guys, from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹👍🏽
About to build the same kind of fence. Thanks for sharing
You got this. 💪🏻
Great job. The fence looks amazing.
Thanks!
Wow! That's a really nice looking fence. Thanks for showing just how you do this. Impressive!
Glad you liked it!
GREAT video!
Thanks!
Great job on the fences really enjoyed and learned a lot from this and other videos😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
My wife and I added corrugated steel to the inside of our cedar wood fence. The main reason was to prevent fence-fighting between our dogs and the neighbor's dogs. It worked very well! The other reason was the look! That mix of wood and steel looks amazing! Y'all do great work!
Thank you!
I wonder if this was used in a small yard 20x30 if we would get blinded or sunburned in the summer?
@@MazzaJ That depends on several factors. In our case, we have trees that block the setting sun which would cause a harsh reflection. Another option is "aging" the corrugated panel so they rust. That patina can be pretty cool looking.
@@MazzaJ grab some black roofing metal
Wow awesome fence, think I will do that on my country property later down the road.
I like what you are doing no matter what the cons say out there ( you just do what right no matter what!!!!!!! ( EXCELLENT)
Very neat work
I have a corrugated steel fence in my front yard that is mounted on old metal pool fencing between wooden posts. It’s been up for over a decade and gives me lots of privacy, especially for my piggies. I really like the cedar top caps you placed on this fence though, along with the metal posts - longevity matters 😊👍✨
We had a fence like that in the house I grew up in, in the S.F. East Bay. When one side went down, my dad and the neighbor split the cost of a new one. When the other side went down, the neighbor wanted to repair the fence. So, my dad paid for a new fence and nailed the old corrugated panels to the neighbors side. The fence was there when we moved into the house in '93.
LMAO at your Dad's awesome level of pettiness! Sounds like something my family would do.
You’re a fun guy to watch😉 You mentioned how it took a lot of screws to put this fence together, not so sure the host isin’t the lead screw😆 Unique fence, beautifully done, excellent quality👍. Very entertaining video, thank you. We’re from the “show me state”. Missouri
Thanks for watching!
Youre a good sport mate !
Well thanks!
Very popular here in Colorado in ungalinized or rusty. Love the look
That looks awesome! Build a bigger one-at the southern border. Please
I love that fence!!!! It has to last longer than the traditional wooden fence
Wow! That is some fence,great job.Enjoyed watching,land owner must have some very deep pockets.
I want that, but with clear acrylic panels!
I got a 3ft version of this! But in vintage grey 22g steel. Rite on build it up 👍
Mischievous goats hate this fence
I helped my great uncle build a galvanized steel fence when I was 13 years old 50+years ago.
Good info.
Thanks!
Anything good when you accomplish good work
A very good looking fence!
Well thanks!
See how the wind takes a toll on through the years. Looks great 👍💯.
Wind is definitely a nemisis around here! We can get 60-70 mph gusts in our part of Wyoming, so we have to engineer for it. Surprisingly, the wind load on this really isn't much more than a solid picket fence with minimal gaps.

You bet!
This is super cool, and a lot of work. How much does a job like this typically cost? You guys did a great job!
This fence is GORGEOUS!
Well thanks!
This is a very nice fence... Man I would love to have this around my property.... talk about a privacy fence. WOW great job guys
These are everywhere in Australia. Every second house. They come in lots of different colours ,usually blues,greens and greys. We call in colourbond.
I've been hearing about these in the comments! Very interesting.
You set this by sight, very brave of you, never seen this done before
I learned eyesighting early on and have always just been more comfortable with it. kzhead.info/sun/o7Cnc8Otq4KneHA/bejne.html
Sunset and sunrise that fence is gonna be so bright.
Right?!
Haha in my neighborhood I see this trend now however just couple post to post sections or gates. all small yards with small runs, most have picture framed out or barn door bracing. Some even with some sort of acid etching to change color I like the bronze looking ones I’m seeing but I can’t seem to find any products to achieve this.
Love this fence!!!!
Thanks!
That metal channel that you were using to mark up for locations of where to put the screws. For a professional, that’s called a story stick. And you guys are professionals.
The reflection from that is great for growing prunes, dried figs, or fried vegetables! Bonus suntan! 😊👍
Imagine going into the kitchen. Getting a nice hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Walking over to the window. Opening the blinds. And being immediately blinded by all the sunlight reflecting off of that thing right back into your face.
Nice job.
Thanks!
That clean cedar cost a small fortune now I bet! The fence looks great, thank for sharing.🇺🇸
You bet
I would only like to build fences/ dig holes for the fence with this auger system. Is that a skid steer? Not bad. How do expenses compare ?
Thank you for the "fudge round" comment. I live near Mr. Anthony in VA. That was great.
If you know, you know! 😏
What a good looking fence.
Thanks!
Nice fence!!!!
Thanks!
You have such good kit in the States. Some of it just isnt available here in the UK. I'm wondering how much the customer paid for this fence ? and what sort of lifespan it will have ? You're right. I've not seen a fence like that before. It's pretty cool. Good work.
Nice job
Thanks!
Length and width end in an H. Height ends in a T.
Australia has similar to this on mass, colorbond fencing, it’s everywhere
Yeah that's right! Little different style, but same general idea.
Saw a fence like this one in Tampa Florida a few months ago. I was surprised !! It was the first. LOL
GOTTA use sonno tubes of you truly know fencing. Frost can heave on an part of what’s not smooth in the ground. Frig, you might as well not even dig below the frost line. Those posts are gonna tilt at least, if not pop out.
Nice job, a lot of labor and materials I wonder how much it cost
where do you source the 6ft panels?
Thats nice build, what are the post called how much by one peice. 😊😊
Re. a clip of screws... sheet rockers have those, maybe they'd have some for other fasteners?
made this since covid in canada . very popular..
Just saw you guys messing with a powered gate/concrete fence while I was driving down villano in st. aug yesterday on my way to finish up some condo ceilings. Told my brother hey I just saw those guys on youtube haha. A lot of money on that road in gates man. -Holdeen's Flooring & Handyman
That's weird. I edited it and the swi like disappeared. I guess to make sure I didn't change it to something they wouldn't like after they liked it?
I have a fence just like that across he street from me it's been there for 5 years heights very some panels are horizontal the others are vertical
well done
Thanks!
