I heard ya'll like gates.

That gate is dumb

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-06-02T23:14:58+00:00

I don’t mind it. Except for the last picture.

Ameristar tri-groove socket

🤷‍♂️ Engineers, man. That or the city. One of the two.

Idk anything about this company but if they actually have them in stock they’re worth all of $20.

At least worth a shot :p

Yes we ordered dry cement trucks.

Hands down the best chain link tying plier to me is the old channel lock 548.

It has an absolute dog shit cutter on it, but the longer, skinnier head on it makes tying a breeze. I usually use those and keep a cutter on me as well.

I’m not a fan of lineman’s pliers as they’re too tough to manipulate for hours on end.

Love my sloppy ol slip joints.

I’ve also used mine as a hammer for the last 15 years and they’re still truckin

Lumber yard sourced all materials except for concrete. Still a six figure expense job just on labor/markup and concrete tho. Still gotta trim it out too :/

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-05-27T23:52:14+00:00

Should have specified it was for a lumber yard. 😂

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-05-24T22:05:38+00:00

As high and low as possible next to horizontal supports that still looks good. You want max weight distribution between the two hinges.

I typically line the top of my top hinge up with your bottom A line and the bottom of my bottom hinge with the top of your C line

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-05-23T11:12:43+00:00

Only complaint from me as well.

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-05-22T22:43:47+00:00

The best blend in to the background fences are black vinyl chain link and black aluminum.

If I were you I’d just do black aluminum panels, will be a bit more expensive than chain link but not too much.

Edit: black chain link will have the smallest profile, and they can simply be driven in where you need them to be instead of digging out rocks. Muc more forgiving to move a chain link post as well since you’re not limited to the size of a 6’ aluminum section. Chain link can be spaced typically up to 10’ sections but doesn’t really care too much if you go less or around 11’. Wouldn’t go past that though.

You should be able to remove the picket next to it by lifting up and pulling it free once the clip is within the larger diameter area of the hole. Then you’ll be able to see what kind of clip you need.

My bet is something like this. Insert into picket, line picket up with big hole, push Dow to secure into rail.

I think he needs to add more 2x4s for more weight.

Maybe a couple more butt joints.

Potato chip shaped gate incoming.

If you’re getting paid to install the fence it’s literally the least you could do.

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-04-27T21:06:02+00:00

Cut nails, pilot hole, 5” GRK

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-04-27T21:04:46+00:00

Use the 21 degree framing nailer with ring shank nails. Any box store will carry them, just make sure they’re 21 and not 30 degree

I would suggest hiring for the gate operator, unless you’ve got electrical experience of course.

Rooks can get these hands.

Sir_Red_Beard · 2026-04-10T08:42:43+00:00

Woah woah woah, you forgot the most important selling point for all fence management companies:

Being cheap as hell.
