Larch is a cheaper option than cedar and looks good. Would put the black weed membrane behind just the wall bit. I think this fencing is called Venetian fencing. Also put a capping rail on the top
Hi Mark, at first when I saw the walls I thought I wouldn't cover them up if it was my garden. However, when I saw the job finished I thought how brilliant it looks and what a great idea. 👍
Lovely job, if you keep losing the spacers it might be worth wrapping them in bright tape to keep track of them when you put them down. Keep up the good work and positivity 🙂 👍
I keep thinking about doing this sort of thing over the fencing I have in our back garden. It looks nice. Plus it would be an excuse the buy a nail gun!
Why didn’t you actually show how you actually did the job - ie actual time or slow mo. How did you attached the batons to the wall, what size screws & plugs, how did you nail the slats to the frame etc. showing it in speeded up time did not help your video. !!! IMO.
Nice job. I do lots of these. Couple of points / questions. Get yourself an sds hammer drill, will take so much of the effort of drilling the walls out of the equation. The dch263 is the cheapest at around £130 and is plenty powerful for what you need. What fixings were you using? They seem to hold well so always interested to know what people use and think of them. I have heard this fence type called a 'Hit' fence as its only half of a Hit and Miss fence. That fence looked close to 2.4m high when you were done, was that with consent from both sides as the country limit without planning is 2m? Couple of things you could consider for these in the future, I normally put the posts on and then spray the entire thing black before the slats go on just to make it even. If you can't spray, cheap weed membrane is a good alternative just stapled onto the posts before slats. Something else that you could consider as an upsell is doing hit and miss on the top part so improve the privacy but still allow wind through. Bet you are glad you splashed for the nailer after that job :) Nice Work.
Hi Jason appreciate your long message to the video. An SDS drill is my next buy for tools . Just bought a new table saw so need to save a bit. 😩 Fixings wise I use 8mm plugs for this and 100mm hex carpenters mate screws. There not the cheapest but I find once in they are staying. Need very good fixings as a lot of weight. Hit and miss fence or also called a shadow box fence. Your correct about letting the wind through. I use roofing baton which is 20x50mm with a 20mm space. The customer did have consent, I had that conversation with them. As you know all the timber is tanalised but the customer was painting it afterwards fencing oil to add another level of protection. I haven’t got any way of spraying at present. A nailer you really couldn’t do this without one. One of the best things I’ve brought recently. You can never have enough tools. Thanks again Mark
Good video mate, quick question though, would you use a 2nd fix nail gun with 16ga 63mm nails instead of the 1st fix you used ? Only asking because 1st fix nail guns tend to leave ugly nails heads showing on every slat, where as 2nd fix are almost hidden completely , and you could even put 2 x 16ga 63mm nails in each slat for added strength and still not notice them, just a thought.
If I’m doing a long repetitive job i use all my mindfulness training and practice to just stay in the moment otherwise I would keep thinking this is so long. It a process and technique i practice on many this. Really helps then my mind stays in a good place.
I'm doing a very similar job in the next few weeks. Do you need to treat the cut ends of the battens with anything or are they alright if it's already treated timber ?
Personally i would put black geatextile (weed control) membrane on the wall either first or after the vertical battens which would hide the white wall and give a dark background effect and would also do the reverse side of the fence above the wall so you cannot see through it, othewise good job. Also did you bother to sand and finish after with Osmo stain?
Thanks for your input I like that idea of the black membrane behind. I didn’t sand as the customer wanted a rustic finish which they were also going to finish. The timber is also tantalised.

looks good my only alteration would be to put the black membrane behind it gives it a much nicer striking finish.
How would you attach the membrane behind, to the wall?
Great job. You remind me of a Charecter off the Fast Show.
Nice!

That pergola behind you in the neighbor's garden looks like something you built! The nail gun came in handy. Very nicely done, thanks Mark.
I didn’t build the pergola. Nail gun is an essential tool 😃
Hi Mark, at first when I saw the walls I thought I wouldn't cover them up if it was my garden. However, when I saw the job finished I thought how brilliant it looks and what a great idea. 👍
Yes I know what you mean.
Thanks for sticking with it to see how it finishes.
Looks good fella …. Out of interest‘roughly what would this job have cost including materials? …. Cheers Mark.
Lovely job, if you keep losing the spacers it might be worth wrapping them in bright tape to keep track of them when you put them down. Keep up the good work and positivity 🙂 👍
It’s a 20mm gap so I can cut some again.
Just pricing up a smaller version of this right now.
Take care
I keep thinking about doing this sort of thing over the fencing I have in our back garden. It looks nice. Plus it would be an excuse the buy a nail gun!
Haha you can never have enough tools.
I wish you luck
That looks really nice, what a good idea, cracking job Mark💪
Yes Mark the Black membrane would have made the job more striking as well as providing more privacy on the extra over the wall
Love it! Great job Mark 👌.
Appreciated
great job keep up the good work
Hi Mark it’s called a Venetian fence
Hi mate how much did you pay for all that 2x1 Batton looks expensive that
👏nice job mark.. very zen! 😉🙏
I definitely got in the zone on this one.
Hope your well.
Isn’t there a 6ft 6inch maximum legal height limit for a boundary fence? Yours look higher 🤔
Should have put a black weed sheet behind timber more privacy
Like that Mark.... A lot of nails.... Bob (Weston super Mare)
A lot of nails only possible with a nail gun
Great video !! thanks
Thanks 😃

Good job again try working outside up north its cold
Haha yes much colder. 😃
Could this be done with decking panels instead?
What kind of wood was that.
Hi lovely job can you please tell me what wood did you use hire and what size please thank you
He said further down 20mm x50mm pressure treated roofing battons.
Good video mate, quick question though, would you use a 2nd fix nail gun with 16ga 63mm nails instead of the 1st fix you used ? Only asking because 1st fix nail guns tend to leave ugly nails heads showing on every slat, where as 2nd fix are almost hidden completely , and you could even put 2 x 16ga 63mm nails in each slat for added strength and still not notice them, just a thought.
You could do as you say . The fixing needs to be strong which is why I use a framing nailer. Never had an issue doing this
Nice job Mark, did it drive you silly all those slats?
If I’m doing a long repetitive job i use all my mindfulness training and practice to just stay in the moment otherwise I would keep thinking this is so long. It a process and technique i practice on many this. Really helps then my mind stays in a good place.
Prefer to have the weed sheet behind the slatts.
💯👍👍
Nice work mark, did you space the 3x2 off the wall to help with water soaking inti the wood
👍
Can you explain what you mean?
Hi i was just wondering, what material was the wood you used for the horizontal battons ? Thanks
Hi Aaron the materials are roofing battening 2x1 pressure treated. Spacing is 20mm.
Any battening would create the desired effect.
I'm doing a very similar job in the next few weeks. Do you need to treat the cut ends of the battens with anything or are they alright if it's already treated timber ?
They are already treated so you don’t have to but I always advise to brush on once a year fencing oil , thus just adds to the longevity
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding thanks pal
2 feet above the wall

I bet the neighbour was pretty pi$sed off when they saw the back of that over their wall
