- This video is for every weekend warrior out there thinking about doing a vinyl fence. Construct the fence before digging the post hole. After the fence is built circle a spot where the post should go. I predug most of the hole so you wouldn’t be bored to death. Dig the hole and install the 5x5 post in and add concrete and backfill. Thanks for viewing my video. Good luck. Feel free to leave some feedback. Thanks again.
I have watch many videos on making fence but this give me more confidence. Because you are doing it section by section which has has a low possibility of things going wrong and can take as much time you want to complete it.
Wow so simple yet I never would have thought of this idea. Thanks so much. Very clever way of doing this
You are so welcome!
What other way would there be?
Did fencing for almost 10 years. For vinyl dig all your post holes then set your post in concrete with the bottom rail only. Do the panels and top rail the next day. You don’t want wind or anything else playing with the post when your concrete is curing out. Always give concrete at least 12 cure time to prevent separation. Pro tip: Vince is very slick and not porous, put two hex nuts screws at the bottom of the post for the concrete to grab onto!
Does setting both posts in concrete with the bottom rail in place make it difficult to insert the top rail once everything is set?
That is a hell of a digging bar, that thing will give you permanent shoulder problems, they make much lighter version that do just as good.
Also a sharp shooter on a long handle works extremely good.
Sometimes you need to break through some stuff. Plus, the heavier bar will build character…
No way!! Omg! This is all about working smarter not harder 👏👏
Thank you. Sorry I don’t have comments set up to alerts. Greatly appreciated the kind words.
or you could do all holes and get it over with so u can start snapping everything together and not having to stop to dig next hole wouldnt say its smarter but it is a different way
@rileywhite5091 the major problem with vinyl fences is that people mess up their posts when they set them. then they have to go back and remove already cemented posts. this strategy fixes that.
quick tip bro, set your end post first and run both your lines after that setting posts and building it becoming so much easier trust bro, i usually do around 80-120 ft a day
Agreed
You are saying put in the cornsr posts and end posts first? Any good video tutorials or websites you would recommend I might be doing this soon.
@@HeyJaredHowYaDoin run a string line and set the end posts first with reg cement and and some quickcrete the red bag to make them dry quick then you can attach your string line to the ode posts
@@Bakersfieldman thanks for the tip! I'm a newbie DIYer, just got our first place and with two kids this is the first thing I want done. If you have any other tips I'm all ears.
Just did a 28 Panel fence of this exact system it looks like.
Did u dry pour your post?
so clever ， it's fast way
Nice!
The only thing that would do different is fill the hole with cement first. That way, cement is inside and out.
I agree
Do you count how many panels you use to make each section even? This is very a efficient way of building a vinyl gate, unless it’s unleveled
the frame basically decides the amount of panels you can fit
15
That’s a clever way to do it to ensure you’re on the money
Do you just use redbags right around the pvc post or is there metal posts or wood inside the vinyl posts?
Wood 4x4
How do you make sure it stays leveled as the concrete cure?
I’m doing one tomorrow nice well done on the video thanks I was thinking I would do it like that I watch the instructional video made by the company I’m like fuck that I’m not doing that that looks hard you put both posts in and tried to squeeze it in his arms was big is my head and he found it hard to do
Do these fences not require cement on the underground posts?
@E. Taylor Gates Yes, with the slats (pickets) having been blown all over the neighborhood.
Seems a bit flimsy but it actually serves the purpose...
I’m looking at building a vinyl fence with 0 experience. You moved it out of the way very easily, does it always do that? Or what locks it in? I will also have a 45 degree turn to make so I’m very interested in that maneuver
It’s super flexible, The panel you create just sits in a groove and I imagine it wouldn’t be hard at all to get real close to the angle you need. The other 4x4 is what locks it in place. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
How deep do you have to dig and do you use concrete or foam?
I did 3ft with concrete, but you can do foam as well.
This easy huh? I’ve been holding back on doing two pieces of panel on my property, this gives me motivation to do it. Do we need to use concrete or not necessary?
A lot of people use concrete if they live in a windy area, but if youre in a calm area you only need concrete where a fence gate is
Great video!what would the average cost be to install something like this on a 5,000 sqft property?
About $25k
I can see this fencing falling over in the future. You concrete it to make the post sturdy.
Of coarse you add concrete. Look at how big that hole is….. fence still looks like the day I installed it.
Do u set your first post all the way then do that
We live in a world 🌍 f plastic fences
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How deep do you have to dig the post?
3ft
How much is it vynil fence?
I think is longer this way, my opinion
This way ensures you don't cut pieces if you ever pour concrete. Also eliminates the cost of U handles, used to cover gaps when post were set too far, or cuts.
😂 It almost looked like you are cheating!
Hey as long as the answer is correct I’m all in. Lol
Doesn’t seem very sturdy
How dip for the post?
3 feet
SLEEPY JOE HAS A METAL FENCE THOUGH
I am not sold on this plastic stuff
Hi Yolanda, if you want some help installing it let me know, It’s not as cheap as a wooden fence but you dont have to paint it every year either. Have a great evening and you can message me back anytime. ;-)
Did he add the 4x4 post?
Yes
That fence wouldn't last one winter in canada....lol
