Concrete Fence Post Fencing DIY | The Carpenter's Daughter

My blog version: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/gardening/installing-o…

as a carpenter I have mad respect for this lady. cuz she aint afraid to work.

Thanks for this. I'm in the process of replacing my rotten fance post with cement ones. Seeing you do this has given me the confidence i could do it on my own.

You’re one smart young lady. Your fiancé should be happy with such an industrious young lady on his side.

Well done on an excellent job. When faced with a similar task, i cut one panel in half, tidied the cuts with a new edge, and dug new holes between the old ones.

Oh Man! The carpenters daughter is a hard worker! Way to go mom and dad, u raised a good one!

I just finished putting up a new fence for the first time with the help of my friend (who is far more practical than me) and everything in this video is on point. Using the gravel boards to map out where the next hole should be is by far the best way to go. A tip for people who have clay soil for when it comes to levelling the gravel boards - wet the clay and you can then mould it into the gaps between the bricks. When the clay dries it goes rock hard and won't budge. You can then cover it up with normal soil.

This was the first video I watched on your channel, and it gave me the confidence to build my own fence recently! Thanks for the vid 🙂

Wow, amazing video!!! I learned loads. I'm so glad that there are ladies out there like you...it will inspire other ladies..great to your fella help too

Just a note, I forgot to add the £119.99 for the concrete breaker on to the total spend of £350! At least we can sell it on if we want to (but I quite fancy keeping it) ;)

Girl you did well its always nice to see a woman been hands on getting stuck in and getting her hands dirty the fencing looks great well ✔

really enjoyed watching the video! gives me a great idea of what I need to do ! thank you and I will watch your other videos later -Steve

Good job. Love to see these type of women working hard. Nothing but respect to you.

My dads a design engineer. In the 1990s he started the kitchen extension. I helped mix cement and did the pointing for the brickwork. Then I buggered off to medical school and he finished the extension himself over 5 years. To be honest- covid aside- I’d rather be building an extension right now. I think you (and my dad) are awesome human beings 💙

Really interesting :o).. I liked the idea of having the gravel boards in place when setting the posts.. I will be doing something similar later this summer. Cheers for sharing.

Such a clever design. Appreciate the gravel/cement mix info.

Brilliant job . Your dad most be very proud of you . 👍🐶

I've always used the fast setting postcrete for part of the hole and then topped up with standard concrete mixed with ballast. But the mixing with gravel also looks like a good idea. If the hole is too big, chucking in some busted up broken bricks also comes in handy.

Your husband is a lucky guy , great job and nicely explained as you proceeded through the tutorial.

Thanks for sharing, always nice to know jobs that are hard, when so many YouTube vids make everything look easy
