    Hi. Does anyone know the following?
    Should we have a gap between palings or not? I like this fence but everyone I've seen always have a gap.
    If there is a dip in the section, should we go 150mm above the ground at the lowest point or highest point?
    Thanks!!!

    • @Engineer9736
      @Engineer9736 6 лет назад +2

      A gap is not needed for anything technical i think. It’s just about what you want. No see through or a little see through. Also the height of the horizontal beams does not matter a lot. Just go by whatever looks good. Middle beam in the middle and the outer beams like 10 or 15cm from the edge. If the height of the ground fluctuates, try a bit visually what looks good. It only has to keep itself up. Material shrinkage due to temperature is insignificant in this case.

    • @chmoduk
      @chmoduk 5 лет назад

      Gaps are just preference, if you don't want them, try the feather edge boards or palings with a gap that you can put another paling on to span the gap, or even palings on both sides, then it'll also allow wind to pass through.

    • @ecstaticasom
      @ecstaticasom 5 лет назад +1

      Im no expert and not even a fencer or carpenter, but dont listen to morons that say shit like. Gaps are a preference, these gaps are there for reason. I'm not claiming to be an expert but its pretty common knowledge that wood shrinks when it dries out and expands when wet. Now this can be mitigated by using good quality timber or hardwood, however spacing panels serves a purpose.

    • @oakjim206
      @oakjim206 5 лет назад +2

      DaMarcoMuzik ... if your not using a spacer then you’re running the risk of one of the posts touching the string line, throwing off the straight edge. Never put the post directly on the string without giving a 1/2” or more clearance for insurance.

      @spectah24 5 лет назад +1

      @@oakjim206 not here in the states. The string line is what keeps the finished product nice n straight n level. Then we attach the rails to the leveled posts before we proceed to shoot all the pickets necessary simply by using what we call a "bunkboard" which basically assures us that the picket will remain 6 in. above the rail. Standard installation regulations

    • @oakjim206
      @oakjim206 5 лет назад +3

      DaMarcoMuzik ... yes, we are talking the same thing. Definitely use a string for establishing a straight line from one side to the other. The only difference, I never butt the post directly on the string, I always leave a gap just in case one post is a little off. This is very common practice in the states. Make sense?

    • @Engineer9736
      @Engineer9736 6 лет назад +2

      @Shaun, By notching a pole you’re weakening the pole of course. So it’s not that straight forward said like that. In the end it doesn’t matter i think. A fence only has to keep itself and some wind pressure up. It’s not a barrier against infiltrating cars.

    • @oneangryfucerwivatinhat
      @oneangryfucerwivatinhat 5 лет назад +1

      Notching can weaken if you take half of what is removed and replaced by the amount you need to replace back.Then again, you can still notch while retaining its strength is by either taking only a small amount say 25m from a 100mm post. The only thing is, if you use a 75x50 rail, you will end up with a fence protruding out from 50mm away from your boundary line( including the 25mm thickness of paling) Notching will also help eliminate twisting from rail as timber dries, along with good fasteners to hold it into place.

      H4 timber is treated, so that we can pour concrete around it. Hopefully the "powers that be" know what they are talking about.

      Pretty well everyone in Aus and NZ will put treated timbers concreted directly in the ground, its common practice. You would be hard pressed to find someone that uses steel saddles first. plenty of 25 year+ old wooden fences cemented directly into the ground in my neighbourhood.

    Way too complicated. So much equipment you have to buy first, and so many people you have to get approval from.
