Setting Fence Post - Harv's Way

[GaryBDavis]

Two pictures of the same set of posts. There are seven post in this shot - three on each side of the gate opening and one at the end.

Eat your heart out Harv!

Please note I used my tractor to dig the post holes. No tractors were harmed or injured during the digging of the holes.

I didn't do any in line shots of my fence, that looks great.

I sure envy you guys that have access to drill pipe. The value of my property wouldn't buy enough pipe in New Hampshire to surround it. MikeD74T

Wow! That sure is nice. Can you keep it that straight down a 1k-foot run?

Regarding pipe-fence ... I was looking at this brand because it isn't supposed to rust or need painting and looks fantastic ... but garsh (as Goofy might say) it sure is expensive.

I have a 175CFM diesel air compressor, Schmidt pressure fed sandblaster, and a Bullard air fed helmet. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't try and paint the fence - just leave it to rust. The thick oilfield pipe will last several decades without paint.

As for the pre-finished, modular type pipe fencing, it's the way to go if you are okay with the look you get.

OK, now tell the truth... Did you weld it together before or after you set it in the ground?

 

[GaryBDavis]

After.

That is a beautiful trailer. The fence looks good too. I wish I had an inexpensive supply of pipe. I am looking at casting concrete posts. It can be done for a reasonable cost and I should only have to do it once.

Gary, it's clear you're the man when it comes to welding... entrances, fencing... hmm... you really got it "goin' on" as they say!!

Great work.. I'm still green with envy
