Part 1: Modular Hogwire Panel Fence with Dado Groove

Hi John Artell, I'm coming to you from outside the beautiful city of Beaumont, Texas, right in the country, not quite the city, just moved into the house and I have a problem: the puppies have a half-acre backyard and it's such an inefficient way that I wanted to do that wasn't very expensive, it still allowed an open concept to be able to see out not necessarily a privacy

fence

, but keeping our two dogs has an English mastiff and an Australian shepherd, a big one and the other one likes to run so I need to contain them and as far as doing some research, I'm going to keep this short and sweet, but in central west Texas they use a lot of this it's called a horse

panel

or a cow

panel

, the panel of pigs is six by eight, this is four by four square, but you can use this.

The dimension from here to here is 3/8 of an inch. That's when I learned about NATO. It's not just an Italian word. I don't know if it's an Italian word or not, but a slot is a slot. that you can cut into the wood and look at this, you can easily place it directly into the wood panel that way, so what a slot is basically two saw blades and a cutting blade that goes on the inside of that, like this which basically takes a table saw set. For a die, this one will actually do 3/8, which is what's required and you just slide it in and cut the slot through it and then you basically have a

modular

unit because eighty-ten feet, however long you want for your data, however long you want.

I want your fist dispensed right here it's four by four squares it comes in 50 inches tall and 16 feet long so I had to trim them by trimming them you can use cutters or you can use this little miter saw or cutting wheel set up like that but It takes about two seconds to do it instead of having to use butcher's language. Okay, before we get started, I just want to go with some of the materials I found to make this process really easy. You know better at one of these contractors. style calculators and it makes it really very easy for people who are really bad at math like me because you can write feet in inches and you know one foot and three inches times three and look at those three feet, no I didn't have to do that. anything or factor or fractions or something like that really cool tool to have on your tool list other than that simple things make sure you have a variety of different levels size small long speed square very important safety is the most important thing you have a facial dough to use the grinder eye protection to use anything else hand protection, especially if you use concrete, which shouldn't mess up your hands, fit the edge tight just to mask things and it creates a good line when you don't want to have to using a sharpener, having a good pencil having a good pencil and a good notepad always works great and then stringing it works to make sure everything is level when you're trying to run in a straight line with the fins and don't forget to have some kind of persuader , either a rubber mallet. or a sword heavy mall and in this case there's a soft Luud that makes things cut a little bit more smoothly to the last panel that I'm putting up and I'm putting in a 4 foot door here, basically like you.

I can see here all the way down, the perfect configuration of the slotted ring as far as it goes in, it locks into place, the great

part

is that it's

modular

, you can make it in any dimension you want. I'm done. I'm going to go with a presenter so you don't have to worry about sinking. I'm going to measure this last setup here and I'll end up making my bud board down here or a rock board so you can have this. as a base to support it, it also continues to suffer a kind of wear and tear on the ten star trip how to measure this right here it looks like we are at 36 and a half, anyway we will go up here just in case and thirty-six and a half, which means that my posts are level or plumb, I should say, but anyway, let's get back to the salt table and I'll show you how this all goes.

What we have is that I haven't configured the measurement for a while. A while ago I got my dimension between the two poles and these are my vertical runs, which will be 46 in a quarter and this, excuse me, was 36 and a half, I think that's what I have, you can see I don't have a die on them yet. , but I'm about to check out the old machine here and get back to you. Did you lower my boards or what was it at that time? Something like that couldn't get out all the little stickers you might want.

To do that next time because you end up hitting the staples, but hey, you know what? Well, just to give you an idea, I did all this factoring, I drew it out on paper, and once I learned the die, I realized I bought too much wood. I was actually going to sandwich the pieces together and then put a lid on them, but once I read the data I thought I was using twice as much wood, so guess what puts money back in my pocket and means I can eat next. week, okay, so I didn't go over exactly what I'm doing with the slot, but as far as configuration goes, typically a 2x4 is about an inch and a half by three and a half inches.

I have my slot depth at one inch, which leaves me about a half inch to play with and my panels, I'm actually cutting about an inch, a half inch, and a half inch that I have to play with inside the die that way, yeah It's not exactly perfect, I don't. You know, I almost said the S word, so anyway, I just play with it. I'm just giving you a margin because you're going to have about an inch of play there and if you cut off an inch, that leaves you about a half inch there with your material and it's going to allow you to have a little bit of play there every time you're tying this.

I start screwing this. You'll understand that the reason I chose four inch holes is because my dog ​​has the same snout. on a larger panel and it's dying, but it turns out that it works very well at eight feet, it just so happens that this 36 inch measurement that I have for this

part

icular panel because it's on the 36 door panel is a factor of 4, but the unfortunate thing is that you have to remove an inch to allow for slot space, so the way I installed it is 35 inches right on the outside edge of the tape and I'm going to cut with the grinder the outside just use it as my rudder okay I have everything done set up for 35 inches you can use bolt cutters for this why I mean power to get lost we will have it placed here.

I've cut my pen a couple. of having the nato inside and eight screws is all it takes a little bit put together my original design 20 so how many screws do you need to build it? Everything is lined up with the

groove

just like that and like the adult Lincoln trunks. Yes, I'm happy that I had to create 22 films, this is one of the smaller ones, the rest are just under eight theaters, but it allowed for digital, so you see it's starting to fit and here you can see where the difference is . I guess the takeoff of why I went an inch shorter, look how it extends back here, you know, putting the data wins and gives you a little bit of room for pinches, so I don't even have screws and it's already together.

So how's that sound? Just screw it right there. It will have to be perfect. You'll start a finished project wanting it to be bulletproof and then, you know, you're like it's just a

fence

, but not a simple one. This requires a little planning at the beginning, that's good and good enough for me, there's nothing the hammer can't fix when it comes to doing the business, you and there you have it, it's a full payment, the good thing. I can probably almost guarantee that it's hurricane proof because it's sturdy, yes, air will blow through it. How about we go to the place?

So what are we going to do here? This is the last step, as you can see, it is the last one. panel thank goodness between the weather and Southeast Texas it's hot Nepalese on the last panel so put the rock board in, the mud board is the one that goes on the base and it supports this and this guy so find some situations where you'll want to have an extra hand, but I always have one, so I'll show you how to make a quick level of something that goes all the way to the bottom, and as a bonus, at the end I'll show you how I made each of these posts for me same so far.

When doing this alone or with one hand, it's nice to have the extra cut ends where you can shim a little bit, but basically what I'm going to do I have my speed square. I made a line here and took it to the That way I get up and line up right there, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to nail it here. I'm going to put the level here and stick it on this side and boom there. go nice and flush, that'll hit it with a hammer and shortly, but you do this and then you throw this whole level in there and I already took out my wine just for reference, my screws started you, you go back to a level and we're not.

Okay, Tango is the pen. I found it standing on this side, it's the best way and you shouldn't get it yourself, take it to Mr. Persuader here we go and it slid right into place I say each of my poles is more or less if it's not exactly on a 8th and you just use a set of ratchet straps between the two poles you need to send it or remove one luckily this one worked so what you need to do is make sure my motherboard is aligned it looks good and then make sure it can go a little bit more and that tight fit on a panel, yeah, and that's it.

Pretty much panel by panel, if I didn't do it in the video, it would probably take me about 10 or 15 minutes, even if it was the longest, and you know, I'll do a quick walkthrough of how it all goes because they come in 5, one foot panels. high by 16 feet, all the extra panels you don't end up needing because the ground is never perfect level, sure you can order a load of sand to level out the high spots, the low spots on the side of the fence. there you can use this excess material and staple it, stick it to the ground and the bombs can enter.

The tractor supply arrived. He got me a ten foot gate so I could drive my truck. Yes, this is a latch setup made by talk-o it allows you to open it from the inside it allows you to open it from the outside it's designed so you can ride a horse, but in my case it's a lawnmower on a Chevy truck, a setup very interesting, very simple and as you can. Look, we have the piston area, everything came out pretty level and practically one dimension multiplied by as many poles as you see. One thing I will add the longer you wait after making your foam, things can happen.

Look, here this guy is just a For example, it's square at the bottom. I let it sit for about a week and it started spinning. No lie, this panel here was facing up and started spinning. I had to use everything I could think of to try to do it. put it square again but that was the turning point the turnbuckle and it's out of alignment I'm not an engineer but it still bothers me but there you have the data one thing I could have done is just put drain holes in the bottom but I can still get in from the bottom of the weird plant or trim it back to about two and a half and three inches and put a fancy cap on top of maybe the ball over life and then we got our little four footer, which is basically what we're doing on the other side exactly the mirror the dimensions came out 3/16 different as far as the panel a map came out pretty good for this project but once again we have that little simple door there and it also goes to the Inside I mentioned that we will show you a shape that I came up with it so I can level my studs myself and you pretty much need four clamps and two boards and two levels, four to two, anyway so you can do it this way. this way, you put them there and then you put them there too and I tell you I've always had a friend who helps me, levels and plumbs me and then you tamp it down to where it stays there, well, not everyone is always available. every time you try to make a fence I can see the level here and I can see the level here normally I'll do it differently, but once the fences are actually together it's too wide to use most of my clamps, but I had a setup a bit different, whatever I was doing, but I pretty much just have a shot like this holding your post and then literally everything is just tapping until you get to the desired dimension. not every single one of these boards is a 4x4 post, they're actually three and a half by three and a half, but they're not even the number three and nine sixteen seven three and five eighths, so if you do all your math, it works . that everything works, you get to the end and then you say, wow, I'm about three inches short, that's why you put a door there so they wouldn't have this little panel here for the door, this made it balance so that each of these fit my panel ninety-three and seven or ninety-three and a half inches between the ninety-seven inches of separation, which Ford represents for the inch and a half here, the other edge and a half towards the center. it has a 207 foot panel all the way around, well I hope you liked the video, if you liked it, I don't know where I'm going to put the light, but you can hit like, subscribe.

Normally I make videos that don't.There are obviously a lot of YouTube videos on how to build a fence and whatnot, but none like this one, so if you're looking for something that's simple and efficient, it's got a little bit of wiggle room, but in the measure that is simply decent. planning something like that and around a thousand dollars maybe more or less. All I'm saying is that I have to wait a little bit before I can dye it and it's pretty much it again. I enjoyed doing it, it's nice every time a project comes out and is completed and The only thing I have to worry about now is the dogs.
