There are quite a few places this system would work around the greater New Orleans area. This would be an excellent system to use down in the Marigny/Bywater area. You have these 20 foot wide houses on 25 foot wide lots. That leaves a 30" walkway up each side. The window sills are at about 5,' and every window has a window air conditioner sticking out of it. I know a sub that had to carry everything through a customer's house, including concrete. I'd like to add that many of the fences between the houses are 4', 9 ga. twist up. Before I say it won't work here...in North Kenner, La., I dug a 30" deep hole, set a 2-1/2" .065 in before the concrete, the post promptly sank all the way. That's a pretty nice system.

Great work guys I,m impress with your system I,m a Red Seal carpenter from Kelowna BC Canada

I have to say you and your crew are very good and professional, I wish you were in NY, hard to find good quality anyone… I also would like to get some of your leftovers, being a gardener, I think you could make use of some of them for planting, by using them for slightly raised beds, by plastic welding them together. It would be possible for squares and long rectangular boxes. Even have an idea for vertical gardening with some, like the ones sometimes done with PVC. Just a thought, so you would not have to put them in the landfill and still be able to get some money and use out of them. Really enjoy your content and keep up the great work.. Rob

P-R-O-S!! Never thought I'd end my day watching a fence build. But this was the best YT video I've seen in quite some time. Great that you are passing on your skills and knowledge to the next generation. If you were in Illinois, I'd hire you to put up a fence just like that.

I wish we had something like this in the UK, it’s really well thought out and so easy to maintain too!

Of course, moving to Cody in May and going back to work overseas the day before your GSD training. Dang it!

I'm glad that you mentioned the grade of the fence. The company's default installation was 2" above the highest grade, level from that point, unless specified otherwise. Salesmen? Details? You could probably imagine the malicious compliance opportunities. Of course I carried an instrument in the truck, although being a pro that is where it generally stayed.

Good stuff, Lad builders! Product is interesting. Here in California, vinyl has been used for quite some time. The rap on vinyl is that due to changing temps, it becomes brittle and breaks. What is your response to that concern? Years, warranty, etc. Lastly, what is cost per foot? Thanks.

Looks good & makes sense. As for the waste, have you contacted the manufacturer to see if they'll accept your waste to be recycled?

Awesome video and process. The only thing that sucks for me as a guy who has to repair storm lines occasionally in a back or side yard, these fences, whichever method used are a nightmare for us to take apart and put back together. Lol!

Those off cuts from the post could make for great matching garden bed fencing to match the new fence this way you could save them from landfill. Because they are not biodegradable this means the new garden bed fencing won’t rot like wood will. If the owners don’t want them, then put out an ad on your website the same option of a no dig garden bed fencing, the only difference is you can’t use that fancy post hammer as the handle is too long 😹😹 but you can use a sledge hammer and a post holder handle to knock the post in. Just food for thought, the idea popped into my head when I saw how much you were cutting off the post and the slotted sidings the whole lot could make neat garden beds and saves all them off cuts from landfill. I know I would use them, if I lived in the States. I will have to see if this system is in Australia. It sure look nicer than the colour bond fencing my neighbours put up around me on all 4 sides I’m now fenced in with different coloured fencing in each direction. If that system came in a wood grain look I would have loved that to all that metal around me. Hope you like my idea for your off cuts, I’m sure that there would be plenty of people out there who just might like that idea.

It tends to wash out more even than you would think. What you save in labor and concrete you spend in steel.

I would love to have you install a fence like that for me here in IL. But how much is the cost? Dealing with that here in C IL. They want 10K for 170' of cheap vinyl fencing w/2 gates, if they can even get the vinyl. 8K for treated fence. 2 Neighbors said they were wanting to add a fence and I told them good luck and hold onto your wallet. They came back and said they did not need a fence that badly....... I appreciate good workmanship, but I guess I can't afford it anymore, and after a back injury, I'm not able to do it myself anymore. Sons are busy with work and family, but they did help me repair my cedar fence. The local cable locating person after locating my utilities said I should not work in my back area since a main fiberoptic cable junctions there. I said I am not digging, they looked puzzled. I rigged up my own hydro/vac soil removal system and it worked like a charm down to 44/46" for the 20 year old 16 gal Craftsman wet vac with 1 1/4 hose/extensions. I like to go 48" but 44 was good for 6' middle support posts. The electric pressure washer with extensions worked fantastic. But you have to have a place to make a slurry pile until it dries out......
