Horizontal & modern

Even slats, crisp lines, a finished look

From
How long
Three to five days, finish included

A horizontal fence shows every mistake: a slat a sixteenth out of line catches the eye from across the yard. So we lay these out with you on site, build one sample bay first so you can see the gap and the colour, and only then build the rest.

Posts go every six feet, steel or cedar, set in concrete and dead plumb. The slats are spaced with jigs, fixed with hidden stainless screws, and oiled once they’re up. A matching gate is hung on heavy hinges so it never drops out of line with the run.

Questions

Will the slats sag?

Not on our spacing: we put a post every six feet, not eight, and a hidden stiffener in long runs, so the slats stay straight.

How wide are the gaps?

Anything from a quarter to an inch. Narrow gaps give privacy, wider ones show the garden through; we set up a sample bay first.
