    Not true. I use one and had great results. All the things he said were true, however if you know what to expect it’s easy to do. I don’t jam the auger blade in, I “float it” and dig by “feel” it takes longer but absolutely works

    What consistency are you aiming for if you put 1/3 bag of concrete then pouring in water?

  • @RushWorkingMan
    @RushWorkingMan Před 2 měsíci

    Aluminum should not be set in concrete as Aluminum reacts with the alkalis in portland cement producing hydrogen gas, causing corrosion on the aluminum fence posts. I contacted Sakrete and Quitrite and both companies confirmed that aluminum and concrete are incompatible and not to use it on aluminum fence posts, they will eventually corrode. I used Fast2K Foam Deck & post anchor on my aluminum fence posts. Dug down past frost line bell shaped the bottom and installed 8” of fiberglass rebar thru the post near the bottom of each post making a x so the post had legs. No chance the posts will ever pull out of the foam nor will the foam ever come out of the hole with the bottom larger than the top. Posts survived an Illinois winter and didn’t budge. Foam sets up in minutes.

    If you're mounting the fence on top of the pool deck of an inground pool what is the distance from the outer edge of the pool deck to the fence?

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před 7 měsíci

      It sounds like you may be using this more like a railing than a fence. If that's the case, this won't work out well because it's not meant to support that kind of weight

  • @Kushert

    Why are you putting it only in dirt? It should be on a solid slab (sona tube) of concrete. Not in but on. Your fence will now move around over the years, warping and sagging. Good job making a video that shows you do not know how to install a simple fence post. Go back to your cubicle, leave outdoor work to the pros…..

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před rokem

      Now I know this was a really long video (12 seconds) but where does it say anything about dirt or concrete in this video?

  • @juliandavis2143
    @juliandavis2143 Před rokem

    Awesome video! I’m finding this a couple years after you filmed it. Quick question: At the end, how did you hammer that post deeper to get it level after you already wet poured the concrete? It was still workable after completing the entire fence?

  • @R-ry6vb

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před rokem

      I've used them but they just seem to take longer than a traditional level. But if it works for you that's all that matters!

  • @montejordan3287

    What if you are installing 200ft and the ground slopes downward. Is this type of fence still a good option?

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před rokem

      Sorry for the delay. Yes, aluminum is great for this as long as the slope is less than around 7" for every 6'.

      no we dry pack instead. Less issues and just as secure

    • @ilovepizza8263

  • @irainkoolaidTTV
    @irainkoolaidTTV Před 2 lety

    i read that you shouldnt use concrete with aluminum fencing because itll cause a chemical reaction and erode the aluminum

    • @myfencedirect8636

      it's powder coated so its not coming in contact with each other

  • @ffjsb
    @ffjsb Před 2 lety

    When using a digging or spud bar, USE GLOVES. That heavy bar will tear up your hands, especially if you don't do a lot of manual labor. When applying the hinges and latches, to make sure the self tapping screws don't wander off the point that you want them, use a center punch or small drill bit to have a dimple exactly where you want it so the hardware is exactly where you want it. You can also use a circular saw to cut the fence, just use a metal cutting blade. Put painter's tape over the fence so that the saw won't scratch the paint or finish of your fence.

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před rokem

      100% about the gloves. And good tip about the circular saw!

    REGULATIONS IN Australia is the latch must be located pool side.

    If you concrete the posts in, how the hell do you replace a panel if you need to?

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před 2 lety

      You'll have to break the concrete up and basically raise the post up to give you extra clearance.

  • @ravinnanpatee7939
    @ravinnanpatee7939 Před 2 lety

    Question: So you can leave the concrete dry in the hole? Or do you add water to the concrete once it is in the hole?

    • @myfencedirect8636
      @myfencedirect8636 Před 2 lety

      we just do dry. Just have to make sure you pack with the digging bar and you'll be good to go.
