CEDAR PALINGS

Cedar is a long lasting stable timber. Having already proven itself as weatherboards, there are a number of profiles that can be turned into stunning modern looking fences. Custom profiles and sizing available on request.

A-LIGN FENCE SYSTEM

A durable and hard wearing fence that has its origins in weatherboards, the A-lign fence system has a classic look to complement the traditional NZ weatherboard home.

HORIZONTAL FENCES

A recent trend has been towards using timber horizontally rather than vertically. Designers are also experimenting with different materials and profiles such as Kwila, Cedar and different sized pine battens.

With a little imagination inspirational custom fences can be built out of different types and profiles of timber. Additional time should be allowed to source custom fence material.

POST CAPS & CAPPING RAILS

HELPFUL HINTSBuilding a fence is not difficult...• It requires a few standard tools (though a post hole borer and a circular saw will make the job easier) and a methodical approach

• Ensure you get council consent when required

• A “dry build” is a good idea – lay your fencing out before you start to ensure measurements are correct

Using post caps and capping rails is an inexpensive way to make your fence look classy and well finished. There are a variety of caps and rails ranging from traditional to modern to ensure you have the best looking fence in the neighbourhood.

TRELLIS

TRELLIS FENCING

A great feature in any garden or landscape project. Trellis comes in pre-built panels or custom sizes can be ordered. Individual trellis battens are also available.

TRELLIS TOPS & BASE BOARDS

Trellis tops and base boards can be used to finish off a project. They are an inexpensive way to add style to your landscape structures.

HOW TO GUIDES

For instructions on how to build your trellis see our How To Guides available in-store or online at www.placemakers.co.nz

3. Work out the overall thickness of the trellis and battens. Most trellises are 20mm thick and the battens are 30 x 30mm.

4. Work from the centre of the post; mark out the trellis thickness by marking 10mm either side of the centre line. From there the battens are 30mm thick so mark 30mm from the trellis line outward and add this is your overall thickness. Work this out on one post only then find the distance from the edge of the post back to the stop, and apply that to the other posts.

Securing the Trellis PanelsAt this point you will need to decide how you are going to support the trellis at the top and bottom of the panel.

OPTION 1:1 Install a rebated capping section between the posts (see Fig.4)

along the bottom line of the trellis. Temporarily locate the trellis between the post and where the bottom capping piece is not level to the ground. Scribe the bottom of the trellis to follow the line of the capping.

2 Mark the position of the bottom edge of the upper capping piece to indicate where it will sit after it is (later) installed.

3 Cut to length and fix one vertical batten to each post in its pre-determined position.

4 Install the trellis in the opening by locating it into the rebate in the capping piece at the bottom and temporarily tacking it in position against the vertical battens on the posts.

5 Cut to length and fix the vertical battens to the other side of the trellis (see Fig.3).

6 Cut to length and install upper capping piece over the trellis and complete fixing of all components.

Fig.3 Fixing the trellis battens

OPTION 2: Install horizontal 100 x 50mm rails (top and bottom) between the posts and batten the trellis in position along the rails as for the vertical battens in Option 1.

Capping the TrellisCappings come in different profiles so ask one of our staff members to show you the range as this can be quite important to the final appearance of the panel. If you do want a capping, look for one that won’t hold water and deflects it away from the panel.

For our guide example we’ve gone with a standard triangular capping. Simply cut the capping to the measurement between the posts minus 3mm to allow for contraction and expansion.

Once cut, position centrally along the top of the trellis and fix using 40mm galvanised flat head nails. Nail slightly off centre as the nails will just slide in between the trellis and the capping will become loose (see Fig.4).

Fig.4 Capping the trellis

Emphasise the Posts

The top of the posts can be cut on an angle or have a shape cut into the top. Or there are many cappings that we can supply (see Fig.5).

3. Do the same with all the posts, adding another spacing each time. Always measure from the outside face of the first post to the same face of each subsequent post.

4. When all the holes are dug and you have checked their positions, put 100mm of concrete in the bottom of each. One at a time set the posts in place. Correctly position and brace as with the end posts. Check each post (see Fig.4).• Is it spaced correctly? Measure from reference point

multiplying the spacing by the number of gaps.• Does it follow the fenceline? Use packers against both

stringlines.• Is it high enough? Measure from the stringline to the top of

the post.

• Is it vertical? Check the side of each post with a spirit level.

Check height of post

Stringline packer

Use level on both sides of post

Accurately measure distances

Stringline packer should fit loosely between stringline and post

5. With posts braced in position, fill the holes with concrete as with end posts. Recheck as in Step 4 above and if necessary adjust and rebrace.

6. Leave for at least 3 days (depending on the Dricon concrete used) to allow the concrete to gain sufficient strength. If you also intend to pour a mowing strip along the fenceline, do it now.

Fixing the Rails

Once the concrete has gained sufficient strength you can start fitting the rails.

1. Check each of the posts and make sure they are firm in the ground. If there is any movement, brace the post with temporary bracing. This will hold it steady until the rails are fixed. The posts can now be trimmed to the correct height.

2. Fix the stringline to both of the end posts at the post height, and mark this height on all posts. On a level site use a square.

On a sloping site the rails won’t be at right angles to the posts. In that case follow the stringline. Before taking the stringline down, check the height again.

3. Once you have checked that the heights are marked correctly on all posts trim the posts at height marks.

There are different ways of fixing the rails to the fence posts and the method you use will depend on the type of fence you are building. The major difference between rail fixing methods is:

• The rails are fixed to the outside of the posts,

• The rails are fixed between the posts,

• Or, the rails are checked into the posts.

OUTSIDE POST FIXING & CHECKED IN FIXINGIn this method the rails run from the centre of one post to the centre of the next. If the timber you are using is long enough, you can run the rails across two or three posts. In any event it is better to stagger the joints in the rail so that they don’t all occur on the same post. The procedure is similar whether you are fixing to the face of the post or the top of the post (see Fig.5 & 6).

1. On a level site, trim one end of the first rail square. On a sloping site support the rail in the correct position against the posts and mark the cutting angle. Transfer that angle to a piece of scrap timber and use it to ensure all cuts are the same.

Fig.5 Rails fixed outside post

Rails fixed to face of post Rails fixed on top of post

Centre to centre

2. Fix or cramp a block to the first post to support the rail at the correct fixing height (see Fig.7 & 8). The rail should be held flush with the leading edge of the first post and the rail then marked at the centre of the joining post.

3. Cut the rail to that mark and then nail or bolt fix to the post in the correct position.

4. Remove the supporting block from the first post, and repeat the whole process for the rest of the rails.

Measure distance between posts

BETWEEN POST FIXINGIn this method the rails run between the posts. The procedure is similar whether you are fixing the rails to be flush with the face, or set back from the face (see Fig.9).

Fig.9 Rails fixed between post

Rails fixed flush with face Rails fixed back from face

1. On a level site, trim one end of the first rail square. On a sloping site support the rail in the correct position against the posts and mark the cutting angle. Transfer that angle to a piece of scrap timber and use it to ensure all cuts are the same.

2. Lay the rail on the ground against the base of the first post and mark it against the edge of the next post in the line (see Fig.10).

3. Cut the rail to that mark.

Fig.10 Marking length of rail between posts

4. Nail or cramp a supporting block to each post and place the rail in its correct position.

5. Skew nail the rail to the post using at least four 75 x 3.15mm hot dipped galvanised flathead nails.

6. Remove the supporting block from the first post and repeat the process for the rest of the rails.
