A new puppy and newly planted garden meant installing a garden fence was another necessary project. From setting the treated 4x4 posts in concrete to framing the hillside with horse panel, I had a blast building this fence with my new employee/apprentice Isaac and Rigby Puppy is now safe and sound and away from my precious plants! I found another great use for the LED lights I used on the front gate, we used 2x4 horse panel sheets available at most farm stores, treated 4x4's and Behlen Country farm tube gates, which are fairly easy to hang, and the rigidity of the panels provide tons of extra support. This is a super easy, beautiful DIY fence project anyone with a shovel, a circular saw, a drill driver, bolt cutters, a hammer and some gumption can take on.

My neighbor has a fence like this. He did it himself. Looks amazing & it doesn't hide his beautiful guarding etc.
Your excitement and drive propel the video along. Always happy and informative, the videos are a joy to watch. Thanks!
Many thanks! Beautiful ❤
Good answer! I love the sturdiness for cattle n tight enough for goats!
My wife and I this spring put a similar fence around our garden. What a difference it made. Thanks for all your videos
Anne - I'm going to show this one to my wife. She designed a fence exactly like this (except metal fence posts) and is planting Star Jasmine as her climbing vine. Knowing that you designed a similar fence will validate here design skills. You've been an inspiration to her and she now runs around the backyard with her own circular saw!
I love hearing that! Tell her to have fun and stay safe!!
This is such a sweet comment ❤
I love that! Love that her craftiness is bringing you both joy❤
Thankyou! I was feeling down today as im a woman who gets into all of these things also but always seem to be doing it alone, im half way through my 2nd chook pen and am so happy to have found you 😁
Happy building 💚👍
Hahaaa.. great PERSONALITY!!!! Love working with people with an awesome personality. Makes the work less of a job Keep up the great work guys!!
I super like this fence!! Thank you for doing this video.
Nice job. Think I'll do the same for my deer proof fence. Congrats on your new help.
This is exactly what I need for a fenced area for my two shepherds . Doesn't have to be huge. Thanks!
Just joined your channel. Beautiful job Anne. The fence looks fantastic.
I’m 64 and have to do many of my own yard jobs; wish I had your toys though. Would make life a lot easier.
Looking forward to seeing your future projects. Never too old to learn more about how to make things happen.
Cheers
Gorgeous, smart, and a lefty! Well done!
Nice fence, looks good. The smaller write openings of the panels would be my choice for a garden as well. The lsolar post lights are a nice addition. Thanks for sharing, happy gardening.
Another great video thanks, hope you and the new help are getting on well.
The farm is really looking great!! ❤️
Beautiful addition to the farm! I love the lights on top as an added touch, I'm glad you were able to use them after all! The step down look you did with each panel was a great way to handle uneven ground. We're currently building a wheelchair ramp to the farm house for my dad and we just did the cement tamped in and allowing the ground water to saturate it as well. It worked out great for us too! Glad you're sharing that info with others!
Bob Watts thanks so much Bob!

Thanks looking for the checklist of items needed. But awesome video
That is indeed a beautiful fence! Your yard is becoming such a gorgeous place!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for creating this video! ❤️
You so very much for sharing the knowledge
So glad I found your channel.🌸
Anne, I love the way you are beautifying your property. It looks like your own little personal garden of Eden.
James Mounts thanks so much! It’s getting better every day.
Just wanted to say you are awesome, and a true role model for young women today.
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Those are really lovely fences. 😊👍
Great job Anne!
Two reasons I'm subscribing, you're left handed and the video is awesome. Love from Kenya🇰🇪
Thank you for this! We’re gonna use the same techniques to build the perimeter of our garden.
We did and it looks freaking awesome!!!! I need the little light toppers though 🤔
I just did this yesterday for my little homestead and I love it
Love the out-takes
I can't tell if I'm more envious of your vast array of skills or the loose-packed soil you're digging for those fence posts.
- Dave from clay-soil Missourah
You will be grateful for your clay soil after you come digs some holes through my rocks
Yep, I was just thinking about her loose soil there as we have hard compacted clay with tons of rocks so may have to bring in jack hammer for drilling holes. Thanks.
"I am trying to save 5 cents here"...lol...so much love for you lady...
Love the fence kind of reminds me of a zen garden
Was looking for fence ideas, then when I caught myself leaning back to shift more body weight while unconsciously helping you pull the T-post out....
Instant Subscription!!!
Love your video glad to see a woman who knows how to work around the house ain't scared to get her hands dirty wish you was more like that, fence came out beautiful gave me an idea for my mom's yard thanks
'wish you was more like that'???
Neat! I made a rail for my deck using hog panels. The only difference was they a set in a dado in the posts/rails Great job.
That’s awesome! I’ve seen those before.
Love you for doing all of this..
Wow, that fence and gate look great!
Nice fence!!! I enjoyed your video. Nice personality.
Yeah, nice personalities
真的嗎？😲😲😲😲
A little tip for you Anne regarding connecting a chain to your tractor's loader bucket: weld one or two chain hooks to the top of the bucket so you can just hook the chain on instead of putting it clear around the bucket. Google chain hooks for loader buckets. They even make them especially for that purpose now. Loved the video as I always do. All the best!
My bucket actually has those spots, but I get really nervous using them. I’m always worried I’ll pop a weld. It gives me so much more peace of mind to wrap it around, but it is a bit of a time suck.
Very cool and always good to have help.
And that big smile of yours is so awesome!
Love the little Kubota, I think mine is 2 or 3 models up from yours, with the Backhoe attachment, makes a huge difference to doing stuff around the farm. You do your fence post pretty much the same way I do, it's so much easier, plus you don't need to mix it up on a board or wheel barrow, only I half fill with pre-mix, water and mix, then fill the rest of way up, and tamp as much as possible. I also Mill my own posts, then burn the post (Shugi-Ban style). A little hint for you when pulling out posts, use the tractor bucket set it about half way, use a chain attached, and with another person, have them wrap the chain around the bottom then stand back holding the chain so it has a little tension, then lift the bucket, with the other person keep the slack out of the chain, it makes it lock together and reduces the slippage, and the tension builds and pulls the post straight up so it can be used again, it's especially good for star pickets. Also those horseshoe nails I think you were using, close them up so they are a tighter U shape, it makes it easier to hammer them in. Leaving those wide, make them spread out when they are hammered in and makes it more difficult to hammer them in straight.
Wish I'd been able to bring it with me! I'm in dire need of a tractor here, but I needed the $$ a little more while moving, and transporting it would have been a nightmare.
Finished product looks nice! I saw towards the end you had a shot where you were having trouble with the stringline getting in your way. Best advice I can give there is to set the stringline only about a foot up off of the ground at the high point. Then when you dig you turn to face the line looking down the stringline and hold the string out of the way with the outside of your lower leg. Stop every so often to check to see where your hole is in relation to the string. We always aimed for having about 1/3rd of the hole outside of the string and made our holes 3x the measurement of the post (so a 3" post would be a 9" hole.) Hope this helps.
Josh Hoffman great tip!
@@AnneofAllTrades Hope you don't mind me posting a link here, but I made a video this morning to show what I was talking about. I'm sure you got what I meant, but maybe it'll help others: czcams.com/video/duGLqJVoIaY/video.html
That was a good job you dun there on the fence 👍🐕
Beautiful fence...awesome, truly.
No fair! You have some major tools at hand, lol! You know what's up! Best wishes
Great video! Do you have any more information on the materials you used? The gauge of fence, the type of wood? Looking to build one exactly like this! Thanks!
Just a GREAT,GREAT JOB. BEAUTIFUL. Bennie
Beautiful fence👍 great job.
I didn’t know Jessica Biel has a home improvement show! Seriously though, your smile, energy and drive is intoxicating. Will definitely be coming back for inspiration.
chill out, man.
Great looking fence, I’m weary of using concrete to secure wood posts but it looks great.
Beautiful!
Nice fence! I like the final touch with those lights! looks really good! Thanks for the video!
Thank you!
What I like about this design is it allows for a quick way to build a fence with the option of adding onto it later.
Awesome another lady doing her thing.. I'm doing alot of upgrades on my 5 bedroom people keep telling me I need a show 😂
Complementarianism is your forte also, nice.
Well, what are you waiting for? Do it.
@@joliekae School and no time and two jobs and a business
Love the fence.. very simple and looks great.. love the fence wire .. haven’t seen that style.. looks heavy duty..👍😊
I came up with the design in an effort to reuse the panels from my collapsed hops tunnel, and I could not be more pleased with the way it came out. Sturdy, attractive fencing that allows me to see the garden and my animals from my bedroom and office windows? Yes please.
The fence looks amazing. I love it
I love watching you find creative ways to power through some of the things that require more muscle. I also love that you're honest about not knowing everything but you still give it your all. As a woman with not a lot of body strength or knowledge on physical type tasks, I hope I can one day have the confidence that you have to try and sometimes fail but to keep trying--even in the face of patronizing mansplainers. :)
Ever curious: Michelle today is a perfect day to start if you haven’t already. Ignore what everyone else says and try something until it gets done. Good luck!
A better way to dig those post holes is to rent an auger attachment for that Kubota tractor. I dig that style of fence with the wire. Good work.
We don’t really have the space to drive it a lot of the places we need to dig, so it would help with three or four holes, but then we’d still end up doing a bunch by hand. Plus, it’s a good workout.
Super!!! Beautiful. I will do it in My back yard
Awesome work Anne, the fence looks great! 😍👍🏻👊🏻 ...... Congrats on the new help as well! 😃
Fred McIntyre thanks Fred!
Always two there are; a Master and an Apprentice. ;-)
kinda feeling jealous over here.
We just moved into a new house after my husband retired, and our neighbor lets their 2 dogs roam free out back. So far, one of them has chased my cat inside 2x and also pooped in our yard!! My worst nightmare of homebuying come true! 😠 Fencing is so expensive, but we might be able to do this ourselves! Thanks!
Wow! Looks great.
Wow! Anne could show me a lot very talented Lady. 'Lady Boss' Awesome
"Left over lights" pans over to about 40 lights on this fence LOL
What can I say, I love buying in bulk.
Hi Anne, where can I buy those lights? Can you let me know the link where to buy the from? Thanks
@@binhngo4767 There's an Amazon link in the description.
What material are the posts and rails I see a pattern on them
Awesome fence, great job!
Tamping in the dry concrete is the only way to go. I used to do a lot of fence work many years ago. I have welded up many a entry ways with gates and gate openers built in and tamping is how I have done it. It works great.
Nicely done, I have been looking at going with square space website. I plan on starting one this weekend. I have narrowed it down to square space and or shopify. We have been using square for our leather shop sales for a couple of years now, so that is part of why I have been looking at using their website as well.
Thanks again and have a blessed weekend. Your new fence looks great.
Dale
Thanks Dale! Best of luck getting your site started!!
I am looking to build a fence just like this for my backyard. Where would you recommend finding materials and about how much did this project cost you??
Sad there’s no reply! I’m here looking into this too
@@gratituderanch9406tractor supply..... Has like 6ft x100ft for like $170.
I am also curious
Big box store like Home Depot as well as places like rural king or tractor supply
I wish you would have told what the materials were that she's using. I'm looking for the fencing metal part that she used. I am unable to find it. To me it's not useful she doesn't tell what it is and even where she bought it.
What type of wire are you using for the panels? That looks a lot more solid than the roll of welded fence wire they sell at Home Depot. Thanks in advance!
I'm thinking it has to be a cattle panel similar to this one www.calranch.com/select-cattle-panel-50-in-x-16-ft.html
You're right it's very similar to cattle panels, we call it horse panels, 2x4 spacing, 5x16 foot sheets, available from most farm stores.
@@claytondelanie The dimensions of the holes in the fence are 2" wide x 4" tall.
Wow! Really great, Thank you very much.
That looks amazing!
Fence looks great! I'm a little concerned you put all that effort into it but didn't dig down deep enough to really keep burrowing animals, or puppies, from being able to dig a hole under. I hope it works out for ya!
I have 23 yr old posts set in concrete. Still solid. 40- 50 inches of rain per year.
How do you keep animals from doing that? How deep do you go
Tien bury chicken wire at the foot of your fence to keep anything from digging.
T҉w҉i҉z҉d҉e҉d҉ L҉i҉o҉n҉ pressure treated wood is preserved for some time.
500mm at least, we also have to use Wallaby Mesh, that has a skirt that lays flat on the ground at the bottom of fencing wire around paddocks to stop them getting under and stops other animals digging.
This is exactly what im looking on my familys homestead, were on a slope too. Where did you get your roll of fencing and what gauge is it?
you should be able to find it any big box store or farm supply places. here in Texas we call that Hog wire. not sure of the gauge though. hope this helps
It actually isn’t roll fencing, it comes in 16’ panels. We call it horse fencing but a more widely available and cheaper option is called cattle panels
I love it! Awesome 👏 👍
♥️
I like those lights - both protecting the posts and providing light with no wiring
What kind of panels did you use for the fencing ?
Thanks!
They are called horse panels, available at most farm supply stores.
Also called hog panels, I believe. Nice job.
@@AnneofAllTrades Thank you!
I love the fence! My dream is to have a farm with a red barn on it :)
Thanks! it was a fun project.
That looks great!! And you have employees now too! Very well done!!
Really like the fence. Really dresses it up.
The two 4by4" top rail going across from each other horizontally at the same height how did you screw the bolt to the post after attaching one side. The step down ones have room but the nonstep down 4by not sure how to bolt those? Thx
Whosoever it works but only going in one direction which is typical for a fence, doesn’t have a bolt either. I used rebar, your first post drill hole four rebar but only half way through first post, drill oh ends of cross rail, hammer rebar cut to desired to length into First post, fit cross rail onto rebar, drill hole all the way through second post and hammer rebar through post into second end of cross rail and repeat until finished. Use string line to level all holes before drilling.
Can you make a video on how you did this? I have the same question.
Wish I could I could get my wife to do anything....
Paul 😂😂
👍👍👍 i just love creative people !
Beautiful fence Anne, so glad you got a hired hand to help around the farm. Enjoy all your vids.
gA thanks so much!
Nice Fence! You want to sponsor me squarespace so I can fence in my neighbor's yard so she don't have to put her dogs on a chain?
Hi there what's the name of the material you used for the fence
16 foot Livestock panels from the looks.
It’s the no-climb pattern.
Would also like to know. It looked like the 60"×16', but noticed there was a roll behind her. I'm assuming that's for a diff project
@@JKCustomDesignPNW Looks like 60" x 16' to me as well. It definitely didn't come in a roll. You can see it in flat panels on their trailer. Guessing it's the standard 4 gauge wire. I can't find 60" where I live. Tractor supply has the 50" x 16' varieties.
Awesome job! Looks really good and I like the integrity of the fence.
Thanks a bunch!
nice job love your videos keep going ann
Really like the way it looks. Would be concerned about woodchuck going under it
I didn’t know Anne had a PhD (Post Hole Digger) that she can use to earn a living with if necessary. Lol.
Ha!
An auger works well too. Nothing like diggin a post hole in about 8 seconds.
Great look! Ill check out the site as well!
Nice work you two👍
I want to be like you. Self-sufficient hard-working beautiful lady.
Bullshit the guy is doing the work she is there fir show be real.
fence looks awesome...shes a keeper
Fantastic fence! ♥️♥️
I saw a video hack yesterday for posts. Drive 3.5" screws at an angle into post where it will be in concrete so post won't move. He showed it for handrail post installation but it was a clever idea to give strength to the post set.
Love your fence! And your whole place and your gusto! Hard work but such a good life:) Have fun as often as possible while the work continues:)
Great job Ann. I may use that to replace the Leland Cyprus in my back yard and let vines grow on the fence.
Thanks again!
There you go!
Beautiful lady!
Nice fence.
Always learn more when I watch your videos! Thanks, J
I loved it!! The fence was beautiful ❣
Thank you!
