Cheaper than a contractor......and done properly because you care. Good job

Seriously impressive fence, love the look of those posts and it'll be sturdy. But what struck me most was your display of stamina. We're about the same age (and build!) and I have to say seeing you attack and relentlessly pursue a pretty mammoth task on your own is genuinely inspiring. So inspiring in fact that it's 8;45am on a sunny Sunday morning, and after I finish this comment I'm up and out to the garden to get stuff done. Thank you 🙂

The eye contact multi nail gun shot 😂😂😂

I built my fence 13 years ago, still standing strong, but I learned today that I can finish it off with Fence Capping Rail Treated Timber Rebated Cap Rail for Featheredge Fencing. Thanks for the video! New subscriber. Woman diyer. People might not approve, but I covered my fence in used engine oil. That, I find, is the best weather protection. I will be adding capping rail,  I just need to measure how much I need.

I recently had to change 70m of fence. I put it off for so long because I had never done fencing. I got quoted about £8k in the best case. I decided to do it myself and also used the durapost system. In total it cost me £4k, but included in that I bought a petrol hole digger (Chinese cheapo), a nail gun for my compressor and various items like magnetic post levels etc. My neighbours were so happy they insisted on paying half which was a lovely surprise at the end. The duraposts are expensive compared to other options but are worth every penny. I did the whole 70m over 2 weekends solo.

That Laurel hedge will eventually push your new fence over

Beautiful natural English Hedging across the lane, native hedging would blend so much better in your garden.

My parents have a very long laurel hedge (everyone has them in their road). I wouldn't recommend it from new (having cut it for a couple of decades each summer) they now have gardeners do it very wide, you can walk inside it, but no wildlife at all in there- it's a dead zone compared to native hedging.

But as yours is planted I suppose enjoy it and keep strict on the width, as they easily grow very wide.

Love the no look nail gun action at 17:42! Like a BOSSS. You truly are the Ivan Toney of the fence world.

I'm a retired odd job man , done quite a lot of meters of fencing .I use to concrete in a vertical centre stump in the middle of each bay at the back of the fence, supporting under the bottom rail and fixing the gravel board to the face. This stopped the fence sagging and the gravel board pushing out. Enjoy watching the channel, keep them coming.

I am just buying my first house and needs loads doing including 10 fence panels which are all broken and it backs onto an alley. I think I might build my own onto the concrete posts like you did to these metal ones instead of buying panels at £50 per 6x6

Im a big fan of Durapost. Very light to work with but strong once in place. A precast concrete gravel board is a further improvement as it means there is no direct contact between the timber and the ground.

I live in the US .. the midwest.  I love your channel and watch several different DIY channels out of the UK.   Lately, I've been referring to any nuts and bolts and screws I need as "fixings" - my wife just shakes her head.   Thx for the content and really like the channel.

I would have given up after the 1st pane 😂l. You have certailnly got the patience and perservince. Really good job

I did a 30 foot fence for a client that had multiple levels, materials and labour was £3000 I was on my own with that one too and it took 3 days and that was as a handyman not a fencing contractor. I did work for a fencing supplier so a lot of what I learnt was from there. I have retired now and my next job is a shed base and more fencing for her that must be obeyed or long haired RSM.

Aside from the money saved, the satisfaction you must feel from just looking at it must be a fantastic feeling! Top job sir.

10:22 genius use of hanger/spacer👍👍👍great video as usual and fence that will last. Also can not wait for paddock clearing video with new power barrow.🍻🍻🍻

Along with perseverance and stamina you also need plenty of free time and a spell of decent weather! We just paid £188 / panel for our Durapost and composite gravel board fence, which I thought was worth it given all I had to do was supply tea and coffee every few hours!

With big jobs I find working smarter not harder is a good approach... more so if you are on your own.

That is nothing short of absolutely outstanding workmanship. Top quality finish and I know how hard that was working on your own, which many people wouldn't. Two of us recently completed a 300 metre CLS treated post and rail fence from scratch ....and even that seemed easier than what you did on your own. Bravo mate 👍

I used Durapost to replace my fence earlier this summer, although I opted for concrete gravel boards and ordinary fence panels, both of which slip perfectly inside the web of the Durapost. I must admit, I think it looks pretty darn good; I'm certainly very pleased with it and my neighbour the other side of it must think it looks good too as he's asked for help fitting the same along his fenceline the other side of his garden. Like you, I got the posts from Wickes.
