Super job and amazing video. You've inspired me so doing my own - question is on if the concrete post you put the 3x2 batten onto isn't level vertically how do you compensate for that? Do you use plastic shims behind the batten to level up? Thanks a mil
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed! Yea you've got it exactly.. pack out your framing timber from the post to get it perfectly level 👌⚒️ you can run a string line between posts you know are vertical to see how much you need to pack out 👍
Hi George, if you or anyone else can give me some guidance 🙏. What is the wood type used and size of the wood batten attached to concrete post. Also finally the size of the battens used for finishing. Hope that makes sens, many thanks in advance.
Great video, very informative, I’m going to do similar but fix against neighbors extension wall my side, can you paint the roofing battens with a dark grey garden timber paint? Thanks
I hope I get a reply- would you be able to tell me if the top rail is a different size to the 3:2 .it looks like it sticks out like a lip which helps to frame it on the ends?
Do you nail the membrane or screw it? Does it matter if you use the heavy duty membrane or csn you use the chesper easier to rip one? Is the green line visible on the heavy duty membrane you use?
Thank you! It will depend on your post spacings.. so measure to the centre of 3 different posts and that will give you your measurements to stagger the joins 👍
Hi George, thanks for the video. I am currently following this video for my DIY garden project. Would the weed sheet behind battens cause noisy garden during windy days?
The battens hold the membrane tight to the framing.. once your first battens on it should stay in place..you can shoot on an additional batten at the top to hold the membrane and then remove this one, once you reach full height..
Great video as usual just doing some my self , only thing we have done differently is started at the bottom and worked are way up, looks mint. Love the videos great work.

Hi. Looks great. Does anyone know if you need to leave a gap between the boards end to end when you add the continuing board. these all look continuous with no gap but I wonder if they stay like that? Would they last as well as traditional fences with wider boards? I've seen some put vertical supports every 2 feet (600mm). Would every 3 foot (900mm) be sufficient with the actual posts being 6 feet (1800mm) apart? Finally, would a 4x4 post support a 2 sided fence like this with EPDM or tar paper in between the 2 sides? I love to build one but even though these are popular in Europe, no one seems to have them here in the US. I would really appreciate a response if anyone could answer my questions.
@@Matipolandscaping Do you typically need to ask permission to fix onto the concrete posts - assuming 1 side belongs to the neighbour if you had to take it down for maintenance is that going to be possible to remove the concrete screws? Great job!
