welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm going to show you how to build a wooden fence
overtop of a wire fence that has steel posts in the ground now the posts that are in the ground
in my place were put in with concrete and so that's the only way that I know but I got this
whole idea indirectly from my buddy Bruce he's got a YouTube channel called Bruce L and when I get
a tip off somebody's channel I like to promote their channel because you know what I think it
was a terrific idea and Bruce doesn't even know that I'm using his idea until today but Bruce
was making a bid on how to paint an extension cord and I'll put a link down below for that particular
video you can check out Bruce's channel it's a terrific guy and I'm going to incorporate his
idea but what I did was I built this fence it's 16 feet long right now that's as far as I'm going
to go for now and took me roughly 3 hours from the beginning to the end and it's quite unique
and I used these brackets now I've had these brackets for years and years and years and
you will see these in industrial uses where they got that schedule 40 pipe and they're running it
through a building and these are like standoffs so I use them and then I just went and got some three
and a quarter inch carriage bolts and here's just a demonstration board carriage bolt and
these guys that don't know carriage bolts got a square end on it so when you put it in it won't
turn when you put something on the outside so what I did I'll show you here I'll go out there
and I'll show you is right I did this so this goes around the pipe and then I used a nut and tighten
it down so this fence went up real fast and I'm going to incorporate Bruce's idea and Bruce built
these flour or boxes that go up against the fence and I'm going to incorporate the flower boxes to
actually hold up the fence because steel posts in the ground are not meant to hold up a offense and
but these flower boxes his idea will work out great for me in reinforcing the fence so I can
continue on down and I think it'll look nice and in the future I'll show you these for our flower
boxes well take you outside and I'll show you how easy this to build this fence and you're not doing
no digging no nothing and it went up Zippity click fast I mean real fast my wife couldn't believe she
was gone for two and a half hours come back the fence is done this is a real easy job to do I'll
show you what it looks like and you guys let me know what you think well there we are right there
you could see the difference between the old fence that's painted red and this one here and
all I did was rip a five corridor board and just tied it off on the top now you could see there
is fence boards in behind there and I'm going to go on the other side and I'm going to show
you how that all goes and I just capped it off like this on the end and down here I'm gonna put
them flower boxes in I'm going to put four feet and then I'll continue down the fence line and
every 16 feet I'm gonna put a flower box right down to the end there so you see what it looks
like there and that is quite neat I never had to cut one board they're all six footers and I
put that piece along the top they're not just for decoration but between here and the first
board them tops would all be wavy and warped and bent and so let's go on the other side
and I'll show you how this went together okay so I'm walking into my neighbor's backyard here and
see if I don't kill myself tripping over these weeds bushes god knows what but
there's the backside there what it looks like and it's quite easy I mean so what I did is I
I tie it into the post over here I had a 4x4 post and then I come along and I put them two
brackets in there same as on this one here with two brackets and then when you get to the end
here well you only need one bracket here and one bracket down there and it wraps around that post
so nice tighten it all up with my impact gun and yeah there it is there and it's terrific so
when I continue on which won't be probably next year I'll just put another post here and bring
it out and put another bracket here and another bracket down the bottom and continue along so
there she is what'd you guys think I think it's just terrific when I'm watching YouTube and I can
get a great idea like that I would have never even thought about it if I did watch Bruce else channel
and see them flower boxes they're up against his fence now he's not using his flower boxes
to hold his fence up like I will but that's an idea that I thought you know what all in
a second I can use them flower boxes to hold up the fence give more rigidity and continue down
the line there and I think it's just a terrific idea so simple now these brackets here I've only
got six left and what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna fabricate them myself I can make them
myself these ones are galvanized I don't even know if I can buy them anymore I'll check if I can but
if not I would just make my own Bend up my own steel and and do the exact same thing but yeah
that's an easy project and I would never thought about it you know if it wasn't for Bruce's flower
boxes that he had put in there and you just guys check out the link down below and you'll see them
flower boxes that I'm going coorporate into this idea in the future so thanks for joining
me here today if you haven't seen this channel before you're welcome to subscribe and this is a
perfect example of some great ideas you get off of YouTube and you know thinking about building stuff
you never thought about before until you've seen somebody's video so these guys take care Cheers
you
