Hoping the Singletrack Hive-mind can help me with a fencing conundrum.
Need to replace my fence, looking at a feather board / closeboard type. Garden slopes from back left corner down to front right (diagonal) and curves around (again b-l to f-r) with each angle being much greater than 90 degrees.
Trying to work out what to do with the arris rail where it joins the fence post. The slope and the corners exclude the metal brackets. The complicated angle (slope and corner) would make cutting the post hard. Current thinking is to mitre the arris rail and make a pair of mitred battons for each joint (and screw these to the post and rail).
Any better ideas? Prefer a closeboard fence as it’s a windy location and they can follow the slope, rather than stepping down like panels. Even with stepped panels I’d need to rip cut a long wedge (or the post) to go between the panel and the post.
