Thanks man. I think your my biggest fan haha. I really appreciate the comments 🙏

I was so happy to find this Video to be able to build privacy fence plum to a Oak on the tree line.

Cheers from the US. Saving this video for my fence project with a tree in the path. Also, love the music. Thanks!

Well, I absolutely adore this! Thank you!

Wow this is amazing! I have this same dilema and didn’t quite know how to tackle. Thanks. Great job 👍🏼

Like they say, you learn something new every day! Never seen that method before. Very impressed with the quality of your work, shame you are so far away. Thanks, have learned a lot from your vids.

Nice fence. A couple things: at 8:10 you spoke of the danger of breaking concrete while drilling. I suggest supporting the concrete on both ends with each end balancing itself so there is no gravity-induced flex in the concrete at the point of drilling. The prick post will provide more structure if it is placed closer to the end of the fence.

I just discovered your channel. This video is fascinating! I love trees & am glad you're working with nature. I do wonder what will happen as the trunk girth increases.

loved the video

What happens to the fence as the tree grows?

I wondered that, too. I have seen tree trunks grow around obstructions though.

Great video James, I'm off to buy a carpenters compass instead of using a dodgy scrap of wood for scribing. Great to see how others like yourself do things, some great tips there buddy ! 👍😎

That gravel board is cool. Don't think its available in Canada though :(

Looks like fence post are pre drilled If so what are they made of and what name are they

how many nails per feather width wise i.e. one to allow expansion? or two. Also do you go through the board beneath?

How is a fence allowed so close to the smaller building? Is there enough room for someone to wash the windows & maintain siding?

Good and have done this before, but the timber post could have gone closer to the tree to help stabilise the rails. Plus the rails wouldn't have dropped as its bolted to the concrete posts and the feather edge sit on the gravel board stopping it from dropping. Other than that great job 👏 👍

The feathers sitting on top of the gravelboards isnt usually enough to hold everything in place. What happens is, over time they tend to slip off the top ove the boards and that post and centre stump prevents that. Thanks for your comment.

@@JamesMontana yes thats correct the centre stump stops the feather edge slipping off which you done on the concrete post in the middle ☺

Neat job well done. I wouldn't recommend using a jigsaw cutter whilst holding the wood by your hands though..........bye bye fingers 😭🖖

You are absolutely right ! Do not do that at home haha but thats how ive always done it.

Most geezers smash a wallplate onto tree with four inch nails and board to it. Yours is much neater. A lot of its cost. You probably got ten mins to board the last bay to be competitive round here. Longer and you are losing money. Good job

@JamesMontana

Yeah it is so competitive at the moment. Everyone seems to be a fencer these days but you want to get yourself into the position that even if you are more expensive the client will still go with you because they absolutely know youre guaranteed to do a good job. That piece of mind costs money 💰😉

What about when the tree grows and pushes against the rails?

@JamesMontana

2 жыл бұрын

The tree is very old and not likely to grow anymore. Rails are set back 2" away from the tree and the feather 10mm which is sacrificial

Since when do trees stop growing? If it has stopped growing it seems it would be dead or diseased and better off being removed.

name of concrete fence post ? could you link them?

Entire video in metric until 12:36 and then randomly US inches.

I found that watching 2 minutes of this video watching grass grow was more intersting!!
