the URL isn't working for me 😞
Please install those handles level with eachother
Maybe he'll get to it after fixing the tile floor pattern in the shower.
On the to do list with the upside down interior door that leads to the garage from the kitchen.
I'd love to see all you guys leaving negative comments try to build a fence like this . Don't understand why you can't just comment something positive. If you don't like what he does, then unsubscribe . Losers
I noticed that, too.
An accent piece... with barcode stickers still attached to the wood. Love it!
Everyone always seems to forget one thing with setting posts. 1/3 the length is correct but your hole should be three times the width of your post. So a 4x4 should have a 12” diameter hole. Plus fences have small gaps for a reason. Wood expands and contracts. That wood is for interior use and even then (as a person who has used it inside) it still expands. That will bust your Brad nails in a heartbeat. I want a 30, 60, and 90 day follow-up.
is it just me or is it already sagging? The uneven handles gave it away.
Makes me laugh that nearly every comment is people looking for flaws just to comment about. Great job, it looks great 👍👌
You should build some nice driveway on a budget next. Cuz now it ain’t cuttin it
Yes!
Man the comments section is brutal. I love all of it. this is one of my favourite channels.
Those tongue and groove are over spanned and will warp quickly (too thin to keep proper rigidity). Would add a 2x4 in the middle. As they warp they’re going to start popping those insufficient Brad nails out (should be using deck screws). Pine isn’t a good lasting exterior fencing material.
Not convinced they'll last very long without sagging. First sign of wind will put excessive strain on the posts and hinges and they'll bow. Castors on the gate bases will help in the short term, but you need to fit them sooner rather than later before the sag sets in.
Doesn't sag......yet
Just like his garage sheet rock.
that's what I was thinking. I think a diagonal brace would have worked better over time.
The uneven handles are driving me crazy!!! Lol
@@pistolpanda4582 They're not uneven. 1 door was already sagging. check @15:36
Correct this will sag
Integrating some magnets into the gates would’ve been a nice touch to make the close feel more premium and seamless!
10 foot entry with 4 by 4 posts... ahhh have to go with 6 by 6
For sure.
REMOVE THOSE PRICE TAGS.
Hahahaha I looked down and this was the comment that popped up
I don't understand why people have the urge to comment bad stuff about everything he does, in EVERY single video🙄. The point of this channel is to be brave and try to do things by yourself even if you don't have the experience or you are not a professional.
This guy is a walking contradiction. He speaks as if he knows what he's doing, then turns around and says he doesn't know what he's doing. Many of the comments simply correct all the stuff he gets wrong.
what i did was buy a 12 foot cattle fence gate from tractor supply. and attached wood planks to that so from the street it just looks like a regular fance. I put a custom wheel on the gate, also I used 6x6 posts with a few 3/8 rebar through them on each side of the gate. And then i found a nice latch on amazon and it allows the gate to open either way. 2 years later its still hanging amazing. Im going to eventually replace the fence planks with vinyl fence sections so it matches the rest of my fence and it will also be way lighter.
Don't forget to call 811 before you dig, I don't see any paint marks on your property
When you use the auger you need to call 811. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come to peoples homes because guys digging fence posts hit power lines they didn’t know where there. Literally had one yesterday
Who needs 811 in the 90’s lol
to reduce the gap at the hinge side you could cut a bevel in the end and then they can be closer without impacting the swing
13:09 he’s knows that he’s doing is wrong, he knows what the right thing to do is, yet he still chooses to do the wrong thing. It’s the story of all his projects 😩
All for the content it seems....feel sorry for the next owner of the house
All projects is a stretch
@@HabsAllDay17 it’s every single thing this guy does.
I'm from New Zealand and the whole time I'm asking myself what's a trailer gate 😅..... It's just a gate lol
I don't usually like to add critique to videos, but using 6x6 posts would have been a better choice. Also, you should have added more studs in your fence to attach the ship lap to. After time those boards are going to bow. And small gauge rim shank nails framing or screws would have been better. Those boards are going to fail over time because the wood will expand and the nail slip out. The kits you got work but overtime you will most likely need to cut a 1x6 and run it diagonal on to the gate.
this will definitely sag. I have a gate the same size and I used the "heavy duty gate kits" like you did. The gate sagged after the first couple months. You need to put in a cross brace on a 45 from the top to the bottom
How does he expect an RV to get in there with that massive tree in the way? 😂
That RV will sink in the dirt before it make's it through.
Was my exact thought looking back down the drive way. Haha
Sagging wasn't really an issue with my 13 ft gate. The problem I had was the wind repeatedly destroying the gate. I rebuilt the gate 3 times before I welded a steel frame. Then the wind blew it down again twice The first time it pulled the screws out the second time it broke the 4 x6 post on the hinge side and pulled half the fence down . Now ive got a steel post set in 120 lbs of concrete.
damn! where do you live? tornado alley?
I hope it wasn’t solid? I would’ve gone with 1-2 inch gaps on the pickets with wind loads like that
A little trick with the concrete form is to only use it in the top 20 centimeters or I guess 1 foot? Just pore your concrete as you did, but then put a cardboard cylinder on top(about 10 centimeters over ground level) that way, you post will never rot. Of cause you should still have the slope on top of the cylinder. Then you will, even in pretty hefty rainfall, still be safe, and there won’t accumulate water around the posts.
Get a small steel pipe and concrete it in the ground for the pin to slide into.
That works for a short time till it fills with debris and becomes difficult to clean out.
@@hunterbates1561 Mine is going on two years no issues. Worry about other stuff lol
Nah just leave the pin in the dirt … she’ll be right !!! 😂😂😂😂
If you had the Woodworkers guild back in 2016 you wouldn't be where you are today
WOW, what an amazing job you did. Very nice. This house Is almost done... Great video
Are you worried about attaching the post to the house? Or do you you have pretty good luck with that?
Not sure what it’s like where you are, but I’m in regional Australia and housing is in massive demand. With a block the size of yours I would be tiring that into a secondary access and dividing off the back yard and building a second income property or even 2 units. With the land already mortgaged in the house, it makes the additional residences cheaper to own and can really ramp up your rental income yields, it/they should pay for themselves and even contribute to the primary mortgage. (Provided housing demand is as high as it is here)
Where abouts in Australia are ya big Graeme ? Sounds very Sydney of you lol
Looks nice but I don’t know about the wood being sideways just doesn’t look right for me, hey but if you love it that’s all that matters
So he's leaving up the old ugly fencing?
Should have put the latch outside. So you don't have to go in the house to open it. Not everyone would be tall enough to reach over the top to open it.
Guy. Doug fir is going to rot in less than a year. Doesn’t matter if you stained it.
Always love the videos though!
Wishing you good health and creating many beautiful works
Feel like the latch and bottom lock should be on the other side no ? If your backing in you have get out walk through the house just to unlock the gate seems odd ?
Salute to you bro, I see alot of haters in your comments. You have done a lot of work and i appreciate your work ethic.
sorry outof curiosity wouldnt it work better to sag less if u had a diagonal board on the inside too. as most gates i know contain them and dont have any issues where as the ones that dont have constant problems
I used Brad nails on my fence as a temporary hold thinking I would come back and put screws in them at some point. Had all kinds of issues with warping and the brad nails worked their way out. Also, how will that untreated pine work out in the elements? Doesn’t seem like it will last.
you could paint the part withroofing tar to stop it from rotting
90% of sag can be prevented by gate rests. Pour footings at the center of your closed position, and also in both of your open positions. When the gate is closed- it’s supported on the concrete rest. When the gate is open, is supported on the concrete rest. Adjustable hinges take care of the rest.
Should have done the drive way first.
Great video, the house is coming along very nicely. What are your plans when its fully complete?
Not so much with 2 5 foot gates but with gates more than 6 or 8 feet consider adding a wheel. Very simple and the gate will never sag.
The handles are uneven and it's bothering me 😐
Honey wake up. A new Mr. Probably Built It poorly video dropped
😂
so true.. its comedy at this point
Brilliant edition. Adds lots of value.
I've build one fence in my life, made the epic mistake of buying prebuilt panels from home depot. Happy to watch from a distance.
How are you supposed to open a tall latched gate when you pull in with your truck/trailer if the locking mechanism is on the back side? Seems like a flaw to me. Shouldnt the lock either be 2 sided or accessible from the front.
String and pull from outside but not sure what his thinking 😂🤷🏻♂️
Maybe is a piece of conduit to keep the stationary side lower peg from obliging the hole in the ground.
should of used 6x6 post. a side from that nice work
You get a lot of hate from the people here that you are doing things wrong. But you know what, at least you are doing it and your doing your best on these projects. Keep up the good work
Forms for the concrete is the least of my concerns. Wood in contact with concrete is my issue. Even pressure treated wood will rot fast in those conditions..
Adding wheels on the inside will assist in the sag prevent
Definitely will sag (4x4 posts for a 10' gate) and the wood will rot (used regular 2x4s instead of pressure treated), just question of which will happen first. My bet is on the sag. This is a rush job that will not hold up at all over time
Wouldn't the PVC fences be better and lighter?
What I never really understand is why people put the wood into the concrete and not build a concrete foundation and then bolt the poles to it, that way you can always easily replace the poles when needed. We don't put wood into concrete here at all.
Quote of the vid. “Might be a danger hazard”
Looks good, nice work
Ohhh man please install those handles the same height im bugging out!, but great video man
Tongue and groove both sides.... looks so much cleaner
From a structural standpoint, would you install the tongue and groove vertically?
post hole width should be about 3x the width of the post, especially for this massive gate.
6x6 or steel post, minimum
looks great
No one going to comment on the 2x4s on flat on the house-portion of the fence? Talk about sag... Gates should have a vertical 2x4 in each panel as well.
Beautiful job
4x6 would've been a bit better for the double gate but props man nice build
Paint the bottom of the post and add screws on each side At a angle to secure the concrete to the post.
Atp the people in the comments telling him what he should have done need to make CZcams tutorials showing there work lol. It should be a requirement or they can’t comment 😂. That would make them so mad to get an error message every time they’d try to comment a complaint or suggestion.
How do you open that gate from the outside? I'm tired and backing up my fancy boat/rv trailer and it's late and...Oops, gotta go inside the house and cut through to the back yard to unlatch that puppy. Seems like something you'd say, ah no not that big of a deal but over time you're just really annoyed by it
He blocked of the side of the gate, wouldn't you expect to see a door there for foottraffic, bins etc?
@herstelt I imagine you swing open the 10ft gate for the bins 😅
looks great!
Another good one, thanks for sharing!
should have drilled rebar through the bottom of the post.
Wouldn't it have been easier to just rent a jackhammer and break up those forms from the previous fence than trying to dig them all out the way you were going to do, or would that have cost more money than you really wanted to spend?
Brad nailing a fence together…🤔
Awesome video.
Gate post should be 6x6 not 4x4. Especially when its 10 ft long. That WILL SAG over time.
Modern driveway up next???
Make sure to ask your neighbors for financial assistance with the walls
you need a diagonal on the inside on both doors or it will sag 100%
Just started the video, but hopefully this no sag gate is actually a no sag gate compared to his last no sag gate video that sagged immediately after he was done
Did you even square to the house?
I’m sure he eyeballed it 😂
🔥🔥🔥
trailer gate?
Nice
Honey wake up. A new Mr. Build It video dropped
Bei der Arbeit mit Maschinen sollte man immer die Sicherheit im Auge haben.
Aber das ist ja bei Dir kein Problem.
Übersetzungsfehler, oder willst du andeuten, dass er vorsichtig ist? Ich verstehe es nicht.
@@ZacKoch ja, er ist vorsichtig........
Not only will this sag, boards will be falling off while other rot quickly.
Brad nails 😢. Cmon man. You know better than that!
That is shiplap, not tongue and groove
A post should never be screwed directly to a house. Love your videos man but that was a rookie move.
the tree by the road is in the way now....
come one dude, the handles arent even level
Are you actually trolling with this? how do you not install the harware level with eachother?
The handles stuff it up cause they arent right
Everything sags. Just a matter of time.
👏🏼👍🏻
Next video, how to fix a no sag gate, that's sagging.
lol yes indeed 40*2=80... nice job (on the math)
There is a 100% chance this will sag lol
