How to Build a Fence (Like a Carpenter)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today we build a fence! This is a fairly standard fence in New Zealand, all rough sawn pine. A giant hedge was recently removed and the muddied ground presented some difficulties.

    Hey Nater… lap cuts are the way to go outdoors because they last longer than scarf cuts. Scarf cuts come to a point which is never, ever, good to do to wood outdoors. Bringing wood to a point always increases the chance for deterioration at those points. Then if you are bolting or screwing the timber to the post, you are gonna drill through (most likely) a thinner piece of the rail than you would be if you were doing a lap cut, unless you are incredibly precise. A lap cut means you are always screwing through at least 50% of the rail size where a slight misalignment on a scarf cut means you’ll be screwing through less than 50% of a rail to attach it to the post. A lap cut is also a tighter fit and there’s less chance that the rails will pull apart in the future and there’s less chance water will penetrate between the lap cut. The final reason is… it just looks better. It looks like you give a damn about what you are building and not just building a fence to make money. On some fences I’ve made I’ve taken pictures of the lap cuts where a white piece of hardwood meets with a red piece of hardwood on a rail and it simply looks fantastic, like you’re making a piece of art. Greeting from Sydney my Canadian friend, I hope you have a long and prosperous career working with wood…

    ultramegaroytrombone - Thanks for the well wishes... I actively seek out advise and tips online, so I will have a prosperous career, with help from folks like you, so thanks for that as well... I’ve always done scarf joints outdoors in an attempt to hide the joints, giving it a seamless appearance. I guess overtime the opposite happens, especially here in Canada with our climate. If it works down under, I would imagine it works here. I will definitely be looking to incorporate those lap joints into my daily routines wherever possible. Your method of explanation was clear and made perfect sense to me, so thank you for taking the time to help me out! I will be sure to pass along the info and pay it forward to the next generation. Had an extra thought on the subject.... I’ve seen people use lap joints for interior wood working and a lot of the time they use glue before their fasteners, would you do the same for exterior applications?

  • @TromboneRockGod

    5 жыл бұрын

    Thanks Nater… yes, I’m a big fan of Liquid Nails adhesive. I use it just about anytime I join 2 pieces of wood together whether it’s gonna be screwed or nailed after that. For lap joints on a fence I’ll use Landscape Liquid Nails, which is an exterior grade version. I won’t use glue to attach palings to a fence rail, that’s a bit too much overkill in my opinion. For interior framing work I’ll still use liquid nails but for most other things I’ll use a “white” coloured or transparent glue like Gorilla or Tarzan wood glue which are just generic brands here. For finishing carpentry like architraves and trim work, I’ll use a “superglue” or epoxy that requires an additive to set off the glue when applied. Those products are awesome! When I talk to a client about a quote for a job, I tell them I do things like obsessively gluing everything first, because I suffer from “OES”. Then I tell them OES stands for “Over Engineering Syndrome”. They laugh and then they end up hiring me. Sometimes it’s exactly what the client wants to hear. You’re a good man Nater, keep up the great attitude you have and may you live long and prosper…

    Memphis Jahx, well maybe since you’re good with numbers you can calculate how much money was wasted because of the fence’s inevitable failure because there was no drainage material in the base of the holes. And the end grain wasn’t sealed against direct ground contact. And the concrete wasn’t troweled at the ground level to ensure proper drainage. And rabbeting the rail joints is cute but pointlessly exposes way too much grain to be a good idea.

    @@fanaticz666 no, it’s not. If this were pressure treated for ground contact it would be incised (having hundreds of little cuts) pressure treated. It looks like cedar to me but I know there exists “appearance grade” pressure treated which is not incised and not rated for ground contact. That said whenever you cut or drill pressure treated lumber there’s a liquid pressure treating chemical you apply to the cut ends. All that considered when I’ve built fences regardless of the lumber type my holes had drain rock and I applied a rubberized coating to the end grain of the end to be subterranean. Yes a fence can be poorly built and last quite a long time but if I were building a fence and representing myself as an authority on same on KZread I’d pay closer attention to these details.

    Harley Here in NZ I've seen concrete posts failing before timber posts. I have original Jarrah boundary & fence corner posts on my own place that are 100yo. Concrete posts have almost no resilience to knocks. Generally only a couple of 6mm pretensioned wire lengths inside that lends any strength to them but if the concrete crumbles or cracks they are useless.

With 16ft 2×4s you can stager the joints so that there is only one joint per post . Try it you'll like it . That's the way a carpenter builds stuff

Took about 1.5 bags of 80lbs quick Crete. Added water. Done! No meds. Cheap, too! Accident my Backed minivan into one. Did not budge 😂

    Carpenter or not you forgot the beer rail. Every fence I build gets a board perpendicular to the middle support rail. I never tell clients why; almost every single client about two months later drops me an email or voicemail thanking me for the “beer/drinks rail”. The timing I guess is how long it takes them to finish making their back yards pretty and then invite friends over for a BBQ.

That's one shovel cement, 3 shovels sand and 3 shovels agg. Good to mix the dirt you dug out with your sand for many more reasons other than economics...id go 1/3 dirt/sand.

I would ask to set up the fence the other way around, showing the (horizontal) construction towards the neighbors. Leaving me with the beautiful side of all the palings. That's is, in my opinion.
