  • I needed a cheap fence solution around our garden to prevent toddlers getting too close to the edge of a wall. This fence was put together using 12mm rebar and roof battens, and I'll show you how I made them and also cover the total cost breakdown in the video.

    I could have almost expected a crude outcome from the pragmatic purpose and material choices, but you always manage to craft your projects to be uncompromisingly decorative too. Thank you for leaving in the jig "doh" moment, we all have those!

  • @Wes12940

    Hey Keith, I got this again on autoplay and it occurred to me that the long lower batten might sag anyway, because the long rebar pieces go through that piece of wood. So that batten is unsupported, and it's even weighted by the other rebar pieces. To reduce this risk you could put some nails in the same hole where the rebar goes through the wood, so that the wood can grip on the rebar more. Like keys in a keyway, if that makes sense. Also congrats for the 250k subs. Been watching since shed number 1!

  • @JeffreyMoon1974
    @JeffreyMoon1974 Před 2 měsíci +22

    Great video! Actually, the best part of the build was when you realized the jig was "stuck," and instead of pissing and moaning, you laughed and found a quick solution. It is amazing what you can accomplish with salvaged timber, which is why I have so much (probably too much!).

    Looks great! Also, turn them vertically, put some blocks of wood for some stand-off, maybe reinforce the corners with L-shaped brackets and you've got yourself a handsome modern trellis - grow some climbing roses or some clematis up it. Good job.

  • @wilf.tanser9961
    @wilf.tanser9961 Před 2 měsíci

    Good idea on cleaning the ReBar before applying the Red Oxide. Actually when it recommends the surface to be 'rust free' it really means no loose or pitted rust; a dry light surface rust is what is needed as gives a surface that the Red Oxide can grip into. The surface covering will last much longer and shouldn't peel off.
    Was hoping you may have found a 'Vibrating tool' (Ooo err, missus) to help compact the postcrete mix - something I've been looking for for many months.

    Lots of people dislike using rebar for anything other than burying in concrete. Never worked out why, especially when you compare the price of it to plain round bar! I reckon it gives a really nice result and goes particularly well with wood

    • @RagnBoneBrown
      @RagnBoneBrown  Před 2 měsíci

      Completely agree! 👍

    • @nathanlucas6465
      @nathanlucas6465 Před 2 měsíci

      @RagnBoneBrown I built a rose arch entirely from rebar a few years ago. Coat of hammerite on it and it looked just as good as anything you'd buy in a harden centre, but for less than ¼ the price. Nice and easy to weld too, as there's no risk of blowing holes in it. Even with my poor welding 😆

    I've used postcrete to set some 9 inch square wooden gateposts. More expensive than mixing concrete, but much easier, and ideal for a job like this where the quantities are not too much and you need a little at a time - you wouldn't want to mix a small amount for each panel, but nor would you want a big batch sitting around half the day until you get to the last one.

    That looks really good. A great result! I would say that moving the longer rebars to a more central position on the panel made little difference because they are only supporting the upper batten, whereas the weight of all the bars is on the lower batten. Doesn’t seem to have sagged either way.
