In this video DIY expert Craig Phillips shows you how to build and install a simple picket fence using tanalised timber for the panels, arris rails and fence posts.
Craig marks out the dimensions of his fence, cuts the panels using a mitre saw and digs the hole for the post using a fencing spade. Once the posts are level the holes are filled with concrete before attaching the arris rails and panels using a air nailer.

  • Loved your method of both shaving the top to give a nice hex shape and the spacing and height trick, awesome !

  • Wow what a great tip on the level block Subscribed Thanks for all the great tips
  • Nice level site he's on, not a word about getting the heights of posts right on an uneven or sloping site.
  • @Jimdrivesatruck

  • @irishguy8555
    Presume this would also work in Australia? Just reverse everything and do it upside down?🤷🏻‍♂️🔨
  • I love these videos so much. Craig makes it look so straight forward and gives you the confidence to give it a go. I've never had an issue with Silverline tools and for a homeowner like me who doesn't use them too often it's good to have a budget brand making tools you can rely on and are readily available.

    Mortise the posts for the 'arris rails', also bevel the top of the post for water run off..........it's only silverline at the end of the day, but getting it right doesn't cost the earth!
  • Hi Craig and the team at Silverline. Thank you for posting this. I'm about to build my first picket fence, in January - Wish me luck! I'm documenting the process on our website. I learned a few things here so have included what I learned on the site. I love that you guys don't should about your tools, but I have to say I want one of those spade - is that something that you make? I'm just going to check out the gate video too. Thanks for posting!
