Fence panels rattling in the wind

[sotal]

I have a fence made of featherboard fence panels between slotted concrete posts, when the wind blows they tend to rattle a bit.

I've tried a few things like wedging peices of wood in but nothing has lasted.

I wondered if there are any common ways of sorting this?

Wedge and nail pieces of wood in the gaps.

Google, WILFERS FIRST FOR FENCING

They sell anti rattle brakets.

Is that the one you mean? Don't think it would work on mine as they're got curved tops.



I did nail the last wedges in and a few are still there but others have still dropped out!

The fence has fields on the other side and we sometimes get strong winds coming straight across the fields and hitting the fence.

The posts are very sturdy, they are 2' underground on the field side and 3' under on our side.

put a wedge both sides...works 4 me

Silicon sealant.

dont waste money drill a 3mm hole at an angle towards the post and use a no6 screw/3.5mm screw and just wind in until its tight against the post this will remove the space as it will pull tight

if you prefer use a 3.5mm drill bit and a number 8 or 4mm screw
you can if you prefer screw through a filling piece off wood
