I currently have a fence across the front of the house that secures access to one side and rear of the property. The other side is a narrow passageway with a proper secure gate.
I want to replace, what is a very rotten dilapidated, arris rail and featheredge board construction with something that I can remove, but that looks premanent.
I think that I'd like to make a 3m closeboard panel with a hinge to aid opening.
I was thinking that 3 arris rails would be sufficient, but is there any way that I can help with stabilising the panel with diagonal braces or would flat timber (rather than arris rail) improve the rigidity?
Regards
Tet
