I'm wanting to put in a nice, high-quality, visually appealing fence.
I know it's the most long-lasting, but I don't really want the boggo standard concrete posts and pre-made fence-panel solution.
I'm thinking of placing thick posts (perhaps 8-10") at a spacing of around 2.5m, with planks (something like deck boards) running horizontally, but in a hit/miss fashion to give the same look from both sides and make it a little less prone to the wind. I've also considered placing a smaller, intermediate post halfway between the thicker posts to give some mid-span support to the slats.
Can anyone point me towards somewhere I can get hold of some very thick wooden posts that are suitable for burying in the ground? ...and possibly also some nice options I can use for the slats?
Help appreciated.
