Hi folks,
I am looking to install a new fence at the back of my neighbours garden, approx 2 metres wide. I currently have the following bits in my garage,
1 x 2.5 metre tall galvanised fence post
2 x 3.0 metre arris rails
A job lot of tanalised featheredge tongue & groove.
I plan to use the galvanised post as one end of the fence, and attach a 3" by 3" wooden post to it. For the other end of the fence i am using an existing conrete post and will attach another 3" by 3" wooden post. I will attached a couple of arris rails between the two 3" by 3" wooden posts and fix the featheredge to them.
1. Re the galvanised post - How far down do i sink the post in to the ground and how wide should I make the hole before filling with concrete?
2. Is the featheredge tongue & groove OK for fencing, as opposed to standard featheredge?
3. Is it better to nail or screw the featheredge to the arris rails?
Appreciate your comments.
Cheers, Dan.
