Setting The Perfect Vinyl Fence Post Every Time

Nice video brotha

Bracing the post makes more sense when you have around 50 post to brace, so that’s about 100 2x4’s, makes perfect sense. 😜

hey, you still have Mark's post hole diggers he threw you from Florida; you know it's not nice not to return tools you barrow lol

pick two sides 90 degrees from one another I think is what you were trying to say haha

You make great videos with some great ideas...My opinion is 1 80lb bag of concrete is plenty...pour all at the bottom of the hole, tamped dirt above the concrete will hold the post in place more than enough....experience

32" dude that's not deep I don't know what you're bragging about you're going to lessen that you're not even gonna stand up longer than a month 32" 3' minimum should be at least 4'

Thanks!! I’ve been watching videos on “how to” and I’m just frustrated and about to give up until I seen this!
All I’m doing is a small 12 foot section with a gate. 😬

instead of the “stab” set the post and pour a little cement down the lower rail hole?

do you guys use hand augers I would like to see a video, or two man augers

Very good video and explanation, as always. I was very surprised to see only 32" as below the frost line in northern Wyoming. For whatever obviously incorrect assumptions on my part, I expected it would be deeper than here, which is 48".

Yo, 😂

great video I definitely learned a lot. In this video, you mentioned putting a pole or bracket inside the post if you were placing a gate. I currently have a vinyl post & fence that attaches to the side of a house, but, now I want to change it and place a vinyl gate/door next to the house. The current post is on top of asphalt. I was looking through your posts but didn't find or see anything. do you have a video or any suggestions? Thank you again for a great video explanation.

Where do you get your vinyl fencing from? Brand?

How do you remove a vinyl fence post that's jammed 3 ft into the ground, no concrete? I need to replace it

Fencing for 20 plus years. Always pull string

Hey mate, have you ever had any drainage issues with the concrete being set in the core of the post as well? Im getting mixed information on what to do.
The argument is, if the post isn't hollow down to drainage gravel, the water will build up inside, causing mould etc.
Thanks for the great video mate.

What size auger did you use? Or what is the width of the hole I should make?

What the he'll is this Frost you speak of ???

Hey there, great video! I’m a beginner and I’m making a double sided gate. You mentioned there would need to be some wood inside the post for a gate too. If the post is 5”x5”, does the wood need to be the same? Also, does the wood need to be 8’ tall and go into the concrete as well? Any direction you can give would be really appreciated. Thanks 🤘🏼

Thank you man!

Another excellent and comical video.

Quick question related to end posts that will have gates attached. The stabbing method makes sense to me but will it work with a post that has an aluminum insert? I have two double gates in my plan which means four posts with aluminum inserts and I am worried about the insert not seating properly. Any tips?

In Wisconsin the frostline runs between 48-65 ", so i have to dig deeper than that?

I know you guys are not fans of wooden posts but, can you use the stab method with a wooden post?

This guy is great. One of the most entertaining do it yourself videos I’ve ever seen. And informative. I’d subscribe more than once if I could. Thank you.

No pipe...no collors.....so you do it cheep and half assed pretty shoddy wprk

I agree with him 100% on not skimping out on the concrete or depth of putting them in the ground .. I personally put up over 30 panels myself and I used at least 3-4 bags per post and damn my fence is strongg as F and perfectly level! I’m in New England and recently I’ve driven around and seen many fences destroyed from the recent storms we had.. but mine is still standing strong and showing zero signs of weakness… I had originally paid someone to do 10 panels and those “professionals” did not use any where near the amount of concrete that I used when I did it by myself n I even noticed they cut some length off some posts because they said “you don’t need to go 2’ or more deep” I know they were wrong now.. and the ones that they did w less concrete have already lost their perfect level look that they had last year.. I know it’s because they didn’t go as deep or use as much concrete as I did … concrete cost 5-6 bucks a bag, why skimp out on $20 worth of concrete when that $20 could have given you years of security on the strength of the fence

Why spend all that money on panels and posts just to go cheap w the amount of concrete used…
Don’t cheap out!

N also make sure to use a 4x4 post or something to tamper down the dirt in the hole before putting any rocks, concrete , or posts in . Tamper it like a man n make sure your base is good


Needless to say once the spring comes along I’m going to redo the 10 that they did half a s s

Especially here in Wyoming 😮

My frost line is 54” does that mean I have to did 5 feet into the ground? Then fill it with concrete even if my post doesn’t go that deep

How deep for a place with no frost line? (California)

Lol you amazing

So where will someone who isn't a contractor get "quality" vinyl fence?

Hi, if the frost line is 32in would i need to go 5 in extra? Thanks

Use fast set?

This channel is way more entertaining than it has any business being.

Considering it’s more windy in Wyoming than not windy, I’ll take your word for it. I live near the mouth of a canyon and sometimes we’re in the wind path.

Maybe put the post in the hole first...

A shorter handle shovels to mix concrete is a little better

I like the idea of stabbing in the post. I have completed a 1/3 of my fence using this method. My only concern is what if water/moisture makes its way inside the post. Isn’t there a chance that the water could freeze, possibly distorting or even cracking the post? Maybe I am looking into this too much but I did take a 90° drill and put a 1/4” weep hole into the post just above where the concrete ended. Is that worth doing or wasting my time? Just never heard you talk about having these issue when using this stabbing method.

I appreciate all of your help with these videos. How wide would you suggest digging a 5x5 vinyl post?

I wish the fence company who did my fence had put more than 1 bag. Knew they didn’t use more than 1 but they denied there method wasn’t good enough.

You forgot squaring your area...i always square my post especially those with pree holes...but irregardless...you want to make sure all faces are flush to direction intended. But away from that amazing showing ❤❤

What do you do if the post are to close together. How do you get the exact distance needed between each post

Finally a good post install video without all the yapping , thank you ! Saves me alot of time

Your is Audio so clean. Does anyone know the mic model🎤? 👀

I like your video but I have to grin when you say post is level instead of plum, just saying.

Very helpful. Thanks!

So buy 8ft posts?
