Kentucky 4 Board Fence Install...Faceboards
What happens here
The presenter introduces the project, which is the final stage of building a four-board fence. He discusses his initial plan to use a welding generator and miter saw but decides against it in favor of more portable, cordless tools to avoid hauling heavy equipment. He loads a Kubota X1140 utility vehicle with various tools, including a Stihl MSA 140 C cordless chainsaw and a DeWalt cordless circular saw, along with buckets and other supplies. He explains the fence components: 1x6 pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine boards and 5-5.5 inch line posts, and 7-inch end posts, all sourced from American Timber and Steel. He briefly mentions the need to seal the cut tops of the posts to prevent rot.
