well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews as you can see I'm continuing on with my fence
project this year I made a video last year of how I actually fastened this fence onto a wire
fence with steel poles so what I'm going to do isn't going to show you the basic set up
but what I got going on here and how it was attached and then at the end of the video
I'm gonna answer a whole bunch of questions that were posed to me on the original first video and
explain the reason why I'm building a fence like this as you can see I've started off here so far
what I'm gonna do first though is I'm going to show you the nail gun in action and how I like
this pretty much the best especially when you working by yourself so let's get to it and I'll
show you how good the nail gun actually works for building your own little project like this
okay let's get to it I'm going to show you me doing two of these I'll show you how to
distance the first time and the second time a little closer up shot so let's get to her
okay let's take a look at a closer upshot
well what I'll do now is I'll take you off the tripod and I'll show you how this is all set up
and then we'll go in the garage and I'll explain the reason why all this is being done like this
okay so I just started off today and you can see it's right at the top here and I've done
this piece here and if you can notice I do have a string that goes right along the top and it comes
all the way over to the post here on a screw and I'll show you how these are all fastened to the to
the fence and you could see how that is here now these ones here these ones I made myself and I
suggest that you make yourself if you want to put a link down below so you can see how to make your
own like this they're a lot less expensive but you want to take a look at the store-bought ones that
are actually not for this purpose they're actually for pipe if you take a look down there you could
see them ones there yeah they're standoffs for pipes and they're quite expensive compared to
just making your own like this here and I just use carriage bolts to go through and bolt them
on the fence so let's go in the garage and I'm gonna explain some things to you okay so let's
get to the reason why I built this style offense it's a wire fence with steel poles concreted in
the ground of course you have to check your local bylaws in your area because that was one question
are you allowed to do this kind of fence and another question was well you should have the
board's the good boards on your neighbors side well I did talk to my neighbor and I asked him
if he wanted a fence in the backyard and we put you know good neighbor fence boards on boards he
didn't want nothing to do with putting a fence in his backyard what I would have liked to have done
is just take that fence out put some 4x4 posts in the ground and build a proper fence this is
an alternative because he doesn't even go in his backyard this fella he's a terrific guy he's a
good friend of mine he does not even go in his backyard all summer long most likely most of the
time but he didn't want to so I told him I said look this is what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna
put the what do you call it a yeah a veneer fence yes a veneer fence and so he said sure no problem
it's okay go ahead because I you know like I've got a dog right so I just can't take down all the
fencing like some people said why don't you take the fencing down because the fencing serves no
purpose well actually it does for me because I've got a dog and you know from his side he doesn't
care what it looks like and that's a lot of people made a comment to said well it looks kind of lousy
on their neighbor's side there well actually doesn't look as bad as what you think it looks
actually not bad at all and but he doesn't mind and this is the main thing so I like to get to
a couple of things of my tools like I like using the the pneumatic nailer I find it's the best way
and you just bring your fence board up to the string line you don't actually touch the string
line you just bring it up to the string line now could you imagine holding it there now and trying
to nail because nailing is the least expensive the best option if you're by yourself is screws
because you can have your screw gun handy put it in right position and then put a screw in but I'll
tell you what screws are twice the price of nails and you know for the amount of work that I do that
nail gun pays for itself so but the string line that goes across one side to the other I just put
you take a look here and you can see there's two little tabs here a lot of people have never tried
this before and this is a level and I just put the string line until it's level and then on the back
side to put a screw and the lying on so you know where it's fairly level now as you go along you
have to make sure your boards are level you don't want to have them you know going like this so I
check every once in a while and make sure it's you know vertical and I had this for a long time this
is just a 3/4 inch because I like 3/4 inch spacing if you actually take a look you will see that the
spacing is tighter now than what it was last year when I built the first part of the fence because
the board's actually shrink so all this is is just a 3/4 piece of board and it's got like a
little handle on it here and I'll show you at the end here this little piece here this just fits
over top of a 2x4 and at the end it's just a clip that's been screwed and a nail and it just sits
there for you so you can bring your board over and then put your fasteners in and I thought that was
pretty good so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna keep working on the fence today and I'll show you when
it's finished because I'll have to put that top rail you notice there's a top rail there so what
I do is I get a 5 chord or board pressure-treated and I rip bolt the outside edges because we round
it over and that's what I use as my finishing along the top so I'll bring you back when I got
as much done well when I run out of boards in the back of my truck I'll see you then okay guys it's
about three and a half hours later looks like it's just getting ready to pour down I'll take you out
the back yard I'll show you what I got done well there she is that look a lot better and it went
pretty quick I was short three boards I had to go back and get three more boards and to take a
look down the bottom there you could see I'm not right to the ground and I'm gonna put some of that
6-inch landscape boarder edging all the way along so the soils not going to rot out the boards and
that's pretty well lit right there now you notice the top lip is all done all the way along and on
the back side I just used one and a half inch deck screws you know from the backside into here
you know if you didn't do that all these boards would all be cupping and warping and everything
so that's pretty good there and that's it right there now I know a lot of people are gonna say
what's that green tarp doing there well guys I'll tell you something take a look I'm behind here
nice and quiet no okay bring him behind ya there's a skunk that lives him behind there and it sprayed
my poor dog Jake so until I get that finished I'm gonna put something along there until I get that
finished well I'll leave it there she doesn't get sprayed again so what I got planned is I'm gonna
put a flower not a flower box a vegetable box two feet out eight feet long and I'm gonna tie
it right into the fence itself so that this end here gives support because you know what if you
get a lot of wind you know it may do some damage to the fence so I'd like to tie it all in and I
think it's gonna work out great because from that in there to over here I got it tie it into this
fence and that's a four by four concrete right in the ground so that's pretty wallet right there
well it looks like it's just gonna start arraigned and I have to put my small little air compressor
away and these guys let me know what you think of it if you have any questions leave me a question
down below and I'll do the best to answer it if you haven't seen this channel before well you're
