Hi there guys, in this video I'm going to show you how to install a fence on top of a brick wall and I'm going to start right now!
Now to install this fence on top of this wall we're going to be using
these four inch by four inch bolt downs. These are fence mate swift clamp bolt down post supports.
Now we're going to be securing the bolt down to the top of this wall using these thunderbolts
These are thunderbolts or masonry screws 150 mil bolts m10s
Now you all you have to do to use these is pilot hole through into the concrete
and then this screws straight in. When installing a bolt down onto the top of a wall
you need all you need to be sure of is that the wall is wider than the actual
base of the bolt down and at least four inches thick. These can also be installed on any flat
hard surface that you can get a masonry screw into because this wall isn't quite flat and there's a
bit of a slant in the wall, we're going to be using these m10 washers to just build up the front side
here to then bring these these bolt downs level but i'll show you that later on.
So, i have a two by four bolted on the wall at that end and then a two by four bolted on the wall on the other side
and then we've got the string line running between the two
so this is going to give us the position of our bolt down plates
you've got everything marked up it's in position it's ready to be drilled and i just want to
mark out your holes with a pencil on the wall and then you can move that out of the way
to make your life a bit easier we're going to be using this makita 36 volt hammer drill
with an eight mil masonry bit on it
and we need to drill the whole length of this masonry drill bit to accommodate the 150 ml bolt
okay we've got our holes drilled and we're ready to bolt down this plate now, so position the plate
but we need to make sure this plate is level
as you can see it's slightly off on that side it needs to be raised up on this side
and this way it needs to be raised up on this side as well so we need to put
washers in underneath this plate here to bring this plate up level
okay once you've drilled the holes for your bolt down and you've put washers in underneath
the bolt down to to bring it up level on all sides it's perfectly level that way
perfectly level that way we're ready to now put in the thunderbolts now you're going to need to
use an impact driver or you could use a ratchet and socket and you're going to need a 15mm socket
once you've got the bolt downs bolted to the concrete it's a pretty simple process of just
literally slotting in the post and as you can see we've got close board here and the rails going to
arris rails, so you just need to tip the post back slot the rails in and tip the post back up level
as you put each rail in. Of course if you didn't have this and you're putting in panel fencing
it's a simple case of just dropping the fence post into the bolt down plate and now we're
going to tighten up the bolts on the plate whilst maintaining the post level. Okay once
you've tightened up your bolts as tight as they go, just check level again that's perfectly level
and also if you can see on the front of here you've got a little hole you've got holes all
the way around the outside but there's holes on the side for if you want to put cleats on
and then on front and back you can put in a screw with a washer and that just
keeps the post secure inside the bolt down and then just put i usually just put one in
that's going to make sure that that post will never
come out and then you move on to the next one
so once you've put your posts in you've got your rails in then you want to put your
gravel board center stump and then doing all the feathers but i'll go through a bit
more detail in another video and i'll leave a link to that just in the top just up here
okay guys so that is just one way of how to install a fence on top of a brick wall
there are many other ways and i will make videos for those as well so stay tuned
