    This is great! So much easier than installing sections, and stronger too, especially since you're using screws. Nails don't last.

    I understood that you marked 2.5 inches up for your bottom rail (to follow the terrain), and then you said to mark 67.5 inches up from that for your top rail. I then saw you use your level. Are you then ignoring the 67.5 mark you made and just making it level instead on the subsequent top rails (after establishing the first section). Also, is your middle rail marked so the top of the 2x4 hits the mark, or the bottom of the 2x4 hitting the mark/measurement.
    Great video by the way. I appreciate you. 🙏🏾

      Thank you for the feedback. Yes you can both ways, it is up to you. If you want it on the same level you can take the laser level once you install the posts and make the mark on laser line.

    GREAT VIDEO! I'm building a 'double-sided' fence that needs to look the same on both sides (neighbor is paying for half so he's getting a 'new' fence on his side.) I can't have the stringers showing on 'neighbor's side. The cost for the slats would DOUBLE so the slats have to interlap as you did but look the same on both sides. Considering using stainless steel staples to tie the slats together but not sure how to secure them together WITHOUT three 1-1/2" stringer width between the 2 sides. The fence pickets have to be flush to each other. I've seen ZERO videos showing this technique. Any info on solving this riddle would be much appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

      Can you use Simpson Strong Tie

      Place it closer to the end of the post and use and overlap planks only on one side. That way you will get the stringers right in between the posts if you know what I mean. Like here:

      @@TheHandyNeighbor THANKS handy neighbor but it's not about attaching horizontal rails to the 4x4 posts. I can do that. It's about attaching the 'fence slats' WITHOUT using any rails - other than the top cap (2x4) and a bottom 2x4 rail laid horizontal between the post. Where might you pin 'stainless steel staples' so the slats overlap each other? Besides IN TO EACH OTHER AT THE OVERLAP EDGES, I'm assuming you would use 1x1's pieces at top, sides and bottom that are attached to the vertical posts and top & bottom 2x4's - with the distance of 1-1/2" between them so as to fit the overlapping slats into that 1-1/2" space (each slat is 3/4" thick.). Would that make sense?

    Why not drame the 2x6 and 2x4 inside the 6x6 posts .

    • @TheHandyNeighbor
      @TheHandyNeighbor  Před rokem +1

      Because this way I get much better support on the posts. I mount them directly on the post. Inside you have to use brackets or screw the stringers from the top side and bottom what is not ideal way to position the crews.

      Of couse it will not. It will hold for the next 50 years. I live in Northern Alberta, Canada with high winds and -40 C degrees during the long windy winter times and it holds great. Most of our fences in the city are built the same way.
