I shall be constructing a 1.2 metre high feather board fence soon.
Do the feather boards sit on the gravel board with the gravel board taking their weight or do the nails bear all the weight with the gravel board merely making it look neat ?
The reason I ask is because when I walk around looking at fencing in my neighbourhood quite often I see the feather boards slightly clear of the gravel board and sometimes not even underneath anymore.
As this is a first attempt, any tips would be very welcome.
Thanks.
