Add an architectural feature to your backyard with a modern-inspired fence made of corrugated sheet metal stamping and galvanized conduit. Step 1: Determine Post Placement and Dig Holes Plan how large of a fence you need and decide how many fence sections will be needed, these can be any width or height you want. Use a post-hole digger or an auger to dig holes for the 4x4 fence posts. A fence section will be created to fit between each pair of 4x4 posts. Step 2: Create Corrugated Metal Sections Create the framework for each section from 2x4s, making sure to cut a groove with a router lengthwise on the inside of each board for the sheet metal to slide into. Screw the bottom and two side 2x4s together forming a â€U†shape, then slide the sheet metal down into the framework and screw on the top 2x4 which will lock the metal in place. Step 3: Create Galvanized Conduit Sections Create the other half of the fence sections using galvanized conduit. Instead of creating a routered groove in the framework like the previous sections, figure out how many evenly spaced conduits you want top to bottom. Using a drill with an appropriately-sized spade bit, drill holes on the two side 2x4s to hold the conduit in place when the framework is together. Then simply screw together the framework, making sure to slide the conduit into place before the second side is installed. Step 4: Install Fence Sections Install the fence sections between the 4x4 posts. You can create any pattern you wish such as alternating sheet metal and conduit sections. The sheet-metal-polishing tool uses inflatable rubber wheels and abrasive pads to produce a shine on stainless steel. Different wheel attachments give this tool its versatility. The right wheels can give the sheet-metal polisher other functions as well. Flap wheel sanders are attached to the tool to sand or remove paint from surfaces. To use a flap wheel sander with a sheet-metal-polishing tool, move the machine back and forth over the surface to be sanded. Don't apply much pressure: doing so might damage the surface. The inflatable contour wheel is a powerful attachment used to remove rust. Inflate the wheel to make it convex for working on flat surfaces; deflate it to make it concave for getting into curves and crevices. To use it, work the machine back and forth, and don't apply a lot of pressure. To polish a cylindrical piece of metal stamping, loop a belt drive around the surface to be polished and around a rubber roller inside the polishing tool. When turned on, the polishing tool rotates the belt. Slowly move the tool up and down to polish the metal.
