Close-board
Overlapping feather-edge boards on arris rails, between concrete or timber posts. The strongest answer to privacy, noise and wind. Set the panel below and see how the grid changes.
What's in it
Pressure-treated 100 x 22 mm feather-edge boards, 3 arris rails, 100 x 100 mm posts at 1.8 m centres, concrete gravel board at the foot.
How it's set
Posts 600 mm into concrete, left 24 hours. Rails fixed with galvanised brackets. Boards nailed from the bottom up, overlapping by 20 mm.
Looking after it
Treat with a water-based preservative every two years. Stained boards swell, so we never fix them tight to the gravel board.
