Ali Dymock | Fencing: The Ultimate Guide | Gates from Scratch (2 of 3) @AliDymock | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
In this mini-series I'm building a close board feather-edge fence. This video covers mending a gate post, building the gates, understanding how to brace a gate to prevent sagging and attaching hinges. For a first attempt, I'm really happy with how the fence turned out.
*Relationship with Evolution*
It feels a bit odd to get free stuff but I made sure prior to accepting that there was no commitment to making a video or review and hence why I've not mentioned it before now. I had been planning on buying an Evolution mitre saw when I came across the Parkside in Lidl so I was keen to try it out and I think it's a good fit for viewers of the channel.
