Our tiny town has an ordinance for 6' but I spoke with our city clerk and showed her your video... she said they might be willing to cut us a deal for 7-7.5'. Thanks man!
This is exactly what I needed to know when I searched for tall fencing. I have the exact type of neighbor that you had and I will be putting up a fence like yours. Thanks for sharing!
Im getting into the same situation exactly...there is a privacy fence on her property but its getting old and her hellion and friends like to hang on it...she has the worst looking house on my street..I'm done with her..Im waiting for her fence to fall on my property
Great fence man. We have the same issue but our neighbors house is 20 feet from ours and we have side by side driveways in between! We spent 8 grand putting up 90 feet between the driveways, then we did 50 more feet ourselves to finish it in the back. Now we are putting 2 ft extentions up. And we still might move. Ha
Oh man. We bought 5 acres and our neighboring ranch to the left had junk tractors and cars at the farm fencing. I offered to even haul out the junk myself. Well... that didnt work and they dont love us. So this video is perfect, lol
I Think In The End Certainly Justifies The END. NOTHING Is MORE Valuable To Ones OWN Happiness & Healthy Mental Health As A Sense Of Privacy. WONDERFUL Video & Very Professionally Done. As A 2nd Alternative Version For A Good Fence Is To Go With The Composite Floor Decking In A Horizonal Fashion. Yes They Are Expensive As HELL BUT The Longevity & The Wonderful Array Of Colors. Defiantly Would Hold Up To Cold Weather & Hot. Easy To Clean. Rot Proof As Well. Beautiful Project You Should Be Commended. Have you Ever Thought Of A Nice Dark Cherry Stain Would Look Sharp.
This is so me! I just put up an 8 ft fence and left the other side facing them. I was going to put up a 10 ft fence, but the county would only approve 8 ft. 😅😅
Very good information. I have struggled with pressure treated lumber for years. It inevitably shrinks and warps, but I believe it’s designed for some shrinkage. Like the idea of laminating the posts. Put in 4x4s and they warp. Wish I’d of known about that.
I'm doing an 8' tall for sure. Why 3 2x6s for a post instead of one 6x6 which is actually a bit bigger? Cost? This was a very helpful video. Thank you!
I did the 3 2x6 because that’s what the Amish did when building my building. It was less money too but that wasn’t a big factor. Just make sure the curves aren’t all aligned, stack them / glue them/ screw them so if board 1 curves one way the middle board should be opposite and the top opposite from the middle
I was in target yesterday watching my wife look at dinner plates for what felt like a really long time....then it hit me, get rid of star bucks and put in a sports bar. then she can stare at dinner plates as long as she wants.
Finally a video that I can send my wife so she will understand the 6’ high issue. Me @ 6.5 and we (I) do not want to see my neighbors plus we have a dog that can easily jump 6’.
Our fence heigh code is 6 feet but I put mine up a couple inches higher and then along the fence line I put retaining wall blocks under the fence to keep any animals from going under the fence and to give me more height.
They can say Menard's wood sucks, which it does not, they are the only big Hard Ware store that even has their own wood mill, now Lowe's lumber is not all that great as far as fencing because they don't have much to choose from.. I can't believe the prices of lumber, a 2x4x8 treated use to be 2.47 a piece...dang...thanks for the video
FInd a big mill doing white oak it is rot resistant you could treat the ends with Borax and soy bean oil. It will keep bugs way just like they won't eat margarine borax kills Roaches
I'm renting a place we have been in 13 years. Guy next door is cronic drunk and in and out of prison. They finally put a tall fence between us to stop when he throws things over at the house. We are finally buying. Pray we get Good neighbors this time but will do a 6 ft fence.
Good job I just wonder if you needed the concret could you just pack gravel maybe, I heard the concrete may make the wood rot sooner? It is an impressive wall. My neighbor just had a 2 story fire in the back yard with a tree on fire. He just has different ideas. I had to call the fire department right next to the forest sparks blooms as tall as the old growth forest.
That’s a good point. When the Amish built our building they backfilled with rock on all posts. I’ve heard that too about rot so I guess time will tell. For me the people who were complete garbage moved out so it’s all good now.
Nice fence for a diy bossman 👍🏽 did they not carry 4x4 post ? Here in texas we usually ise metal post , and all cedar material so it can last longer , if you’re going to spend that extra money on a 8’ fence might as well make it a board on board fence and you’ll get more privacy , since a side by side fence tends to have gaps in between each pickets through out time
They have 4x4 but I tried to emulate what the Amish did when they built my building. Since I don’t know what I’m doing I go overboard on everything for fear of being cheap or um well I don’t know why I go overboard on everything lol
I have the worst neighbor you can imagine. She has zero respect for the people around her. She recently had a tree removed, which was fine, not a problem, the problem was blowing all the sawdust all over our vehicles one vehicle being a new dodge challenger T/A with matte black hood roof and truck. The bar and chain oil from chainsaw was on the sawdust and peppered the matte black with oil stains. We washed the car 6 times, still cant get it off. Everytime she uses her leaf blower in the fall she blows her leaves in our direction, out into the street and across the street to neighbors. Turns the street into mud I have to drive through to get to my driveway. I build a set of steps going from the driveway to my front door with 6x6s and pavers, and put in a 6x6 pole for a basketball hoop. I'm outside staining the steps and Pole for the hoop, she busted her ass to get out that leaf blower and cover it in dust. The next day she has a pole installed for a basketball hoop. Everytime I clean her leaves out of road before work, I come home, theres a pile of leaves in the road again. I've paid for gravel for the road 2 times out of my own pocket. She put up flood lights on the side of her house that shine directly through my windows. Everything she does is for spite. I'm sick of this. The city is retarded they do nothing. I'm building a 10ft tall fence, and installing stadium lights, Ill light her up like the surface of the sun. I dont know what her problem is, Envy, jealousy, who knows? Weve delt with this for 3 years and i finally said something after the saw dust. Nows shes telling all the neighbors what an awful person I am. If thats makes me the monster so be it. One thing I do know, she'll get back it all back x10 from here on out. That's not a threat, thats a promise.
That's overkill, 6' high is dueable I don't have any home that sit above mine it's just traffic that goes back n forth to the rear of my house tired of strangers looking in over my place privacy is my thing if I had the money I would done whole property that's almost acre long but it's all bout cost.
someone comment the actual cost. I dont have time to watch this fat old man ramble. I disliked too because he didnt include the cost in the description or the intro.
You (like everyone diy) on YT, forgot the most important piece of information…..time! Everyone who diy a project (which is great) tends to lean towards the “I diy and saved $5k the contractor wanted” then everyone makes a video explaining how they saved so much money by diy. “I diy and labor was free” so your time is free? The money you “saved” took 4 weeks longer than a professional and you get no warranty?! It’s kinda hard to admit that your first time doing something is not gonna be anywhere near a qualified professional, you got big box materials, the pro doesn’t use big box store. So other than quality, warranty and time it takes to complete, you can convince yourself you saved…..but in the real world, just because you made a video (filming editing) more time/labor diy a project….doesn’t mean anything to anyone who has any bit of knowledge and integrity! This video was great btw, nice work! And you never claimed the labor was free, so you’re better than most! Cheers!
Thanks for the comment, sounds like you might be a contractor. 😁 I built that fence in 2 days and it has withstood tornadoes and a derecho. I appreciate the trades but they are not a good fit for everyone on every piece of work. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing. I always value feedback so thank you.
Our tiny town has an ordinance for 6' but I spoke with our city clerk and showed her your video... she said they might be willing to cut us a deal for 7-7.5'. Thanks man!
I pray you don't have that bad of neighbors and instead you just need tall privacy. thanks for watching and for the comment.

It’s a shame that sometimes we have to resort to these measures, but that’s the way it goes. I’m glad it helped you and thanks for sharing your story.

You are an ICON!! LEGEND!!!

Thanks for the comment, I got the idea from the Amish when they put my building up
Great idea going with 2x6x12 to make your own post ! Great choice using cedar. Happy 4th of July !
Thank you
"Unlimited amount of Busch Light" LOL
Yes sir! Thanks for the comment
Holy shit, now that’s a fence lol
Thanks man - that’s the nicest thing anyone said all day. Lol

Video that really makes sense, in real life situations in neighborhoods.
Excellent straight forward.
Thank you for the comment
If big box stores like Menards, Lowes, and Home Depot sold beer and cigarettes, their stock would triple 😂 😊

Lol! thanks for the comment
Look awesome ! Nice job 👍🏻 my neighbors are fine but Iooove privacy 😀 I’m thinking of building extra tall fence
Thank you for the comment. Sorry for the delayed reply. Hope you are having a great week! That fence is the best money I ever spent
The way you describe your neighbors is hilarious. I feel
Like I would use similar language
Great video! Thanks for the transparency.
I'm in the same situation. Gonna build that wall. 😆
I love Illustrations of the evil neighbors ….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol - thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you great work I'll be putting a fence up here in nm soon don't know when but I got some pointers from you thanks
Glad I could help. Good luck with your new fence, I believe planning is more work than the actual work. Thanks again
Having a high privacy fence is perfect for people who have swimming pools in their backyard.
Our fence heigh code is 6 feet but I put mine up a couple inches higher and then along the fence line I put retaining wall blocks under the fence to keep any animals from going under the fence and to give me more height.
I’m lucky to live in an area with really no rules
Privacy is a must, don’t care if I like my neighbor or not. Good video. I smell wood lots of wood in the near future. 🎉
I couldn’t agree more
I love this video this is exactly why I want a tall fence evil grumpy nosey neighbors

That Drawing looks exactly, like my situation!😮💨😅
Sorry you are going through that
Looks great!
Thanks!
Yep, the route that I'm lean towards. I'll have to see what our county permits. 👍🏽🤠 08/16/24
In my opinion doesn’t work
Glad to hear the A holes moved away. Too bad you had to bear that monster fence to make life comfortable first.
Thank you. Since they moved life has been grand
I'm renting a place we have been in 13 years. Guy next door is cronic drunk and in and out of prison. They finally put a tall fence between us to stop when he throws things over at the house. We are finally buying. Pray we get Good neighbors this time but will do a 6 ft fence.
Wow - wishing you the best

Let's not forget about the $360.00 in 11% rebate. I see you put the ugly side toward the neighbors, lol
I love it! Is my dream.
Cool
Thx for the video 👍💥
4 feet seems deep even for 8 ft tall. wonder how deep I should go for 8 ft tall here in central indiana?
Check your frost line

The illustration really helped clear things up 😂🤝
Thank you!
Great video !
Good job, it looks great. Thanks!
I'm looking to build a 150-200 ft linear, 6 ft high fence.
Good luck!
Great video!, looking to build a 8ft tall fence this spring for my back fence. Did you need to get a permit for your fence? I am going to have to.
Where I live I did not need a permit. The jerk who used to live next door moved out. Good guys win!
If you have any other questions let me know and I will post another video answering them
Do u have a video on how you use Google maps to measure your fence?
I don’t but that’s a good idea. I will record a CZcams short and share that later this week. Thanks for the comment
Solo project? 8 foot fence sounds heavenly, have the same problem with neighbors. How Many acres?
6
I thought the finished side had to face away from the house?
Traditionally that would be true, but I made an exception
tell me about it!!

I hope your neighbor moves soon. Thanks for the comment
@WoodwardAcres Sounds like you're the problem.
We ended up having to mill our own lumber for a fence, we have nightmare neighbors and are just done with it too.
mill your own sounds like more than a days work :)
@@WoodwardAcres actually about a month and 5 chains for the saw.
I was always under the impression the finish side faces the neighbors. How did you get away with that?
My neighbor was a piece of garbage when I put this fence up. All rules about fences had expired so you can do what you want here.
@@WoodwardAcres I guess if your out of city limits it don't matter. Looks good..
I would rather put up a 20 ft high concrete wall around my property equipped with barbed wire on the top of it
that would be cool to see....we have a prison near me that have the same look
That's overkill, 6' high is dueable I don't have any home that sit above mine it's just traffic that goes back n forth to the rear of my house tired of strangers looking in over my place privacy is my thing if I had the money I would done whole property that's almost acre long but it's all bout cost.
Happy you didn’t have my problems. Thanks for watching and the comment
I put up 6 foot fence with 2 foot of latus on top looks way better.
I bet that looks nice. Thanks for watching
Im curious what issues was yall having if yall lived so far away from each other? Lol noise issues ?
They trespassed often and they would scare my kids who were under 5 yrs old
you put the pretty side to you and they can climb it. Does that seem right to you?
Yes it seems right
I never want to consider the cost of beer for a project.
lol sounds good
Some people like privacy and some need privacy from two or four legs🤷🐕🐈⬛🐓😁
2 years later I can’t even afford the Busch lites
It is insane how much more expensive everything is
Are you worried about gusting winds? Is it high maintenance?
So far no maintenance and it has survived a derecho. That was 45 min of 100mph of straight line winds.
@@WoodwardAcres thanks!
That’s not a bad number at all.
Thanks
That’s a nice fence build me one too then
Thank you
How long was your fence?
I just used google maps to get an estimate but roughly 100 feet
here in the UK we cant go more than 6 ft without a planning permission lol
What part of the UK are you in? How about if you live in the country?
@@WoodwardAcres same rules apply all over UK
Where did you buy the fence panels??
Clearly you didn’t watch his video.
How much yard did this fence cover?
About 110 linear feet
I have the same neighbor. She's a cop.
I feel bad for you. Bad neighbors are the worst
Hi, what about labor price
Labor was free because I worked for myself
I gotcha, can you give me an average price of the workmanship.
@@luxuryrenovations4500 I’m a computer programmer by trade so I don’t know what people get paid to build fences. Sorry but I have no real clue
No worries, thanks anyways.
Is 16 guage post string enough for 8 ft privacy fence?
Sorry I don’t think I understood your question?
@@WoodwardAcres Is 16 guage strong enough for an 8 ft privacy fence? 2 3/8 dia x 10 ft long 16 guage or should it be 15 guage?
How’d you dig the holes
I have an auger for my tractor
Trying to build the tallest fence possibly cause of one neighbor who is a god damn problem
Agree
Did you get a survey or go off plat
Already knew where the lines was so I was good
If it was me I would of built it 15 feet.
At the time I couldn’t find 15 ft pickets. Lol!
@@WoodwardAcres oh well ten will do...lloll...
4:20 Okay I'm out
I'll build mine out of old pallets
sounds good
I hate my neighbor too
Thankfully mine moved out.
someone comment the actual cost. I dont have time to watch this fat old man ramble. I disliked too because he didnt include the cost in the description or the intro.
I appreciate the views! Hope you have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!
