This video shows step by step on removing an old cedar fence and installing a chain link fence in it’s place. Sorry for the few shaky parts but my video player became corrupt around this time. This was my first attempt at successfully putting up a chain link fence so I thought I’d make a how to video from it. You’ll find some errors in there without looking too close. I had fun playing some guitar for the music as well. Just mute it if you don’t care for it, I’ll understand. This was quite the undertaking for doing it all by myself as is done with most of my projects. I dug and set each post by hand with post hole digger, breaker bar, shovel, and in some parts a saw. There were so many damn roots along the way. I mixed each cement bag myself. Trying to remember to film each step along the way posed a little bit of a challenge as well. I have dogs and kids so it was necessary to leave the old cedar fence up until I was ready to stretch the new chain link one. I started siding that old playhouse/storage shed/chicken coop with the old cedar slats. It’ll be pretty easy to poke holes in my job here. I used a truck bumper to anchor and to stretch the fence. I ran my breaker bar close to the end of the run then stretched it. I had to figure out how to mate up the remaining run of newer cedar fence with the new chain link. I had to remove a couple slats and bind them together with some galvanized fittings.
Once complete this was a fun project I could l look back at and know that I did it all by hand myself and will last for decades.
