2.4m closeboard panels

Hi all.

 

All the closeboard fencing I've done to date has been with wooden posts and then I make up the panels as I go along. I have a customer who would like concrete posts and gravel boards and 2.4m panels. I cant find anywhere that makes panels over 1.8m and was wandering what people suggest. Would you make up 2.4m panels and slip them in or is the best advice to stick with the 1.8m...?

Thankyou

Hi gobcutter

 

I've never come across anything pre made panels which are larger than 1.8 or 6x6. You may be able to get bespoke but I don't think you'd get the concrete kick board's to fit. Plus you'd be struggling with fitting 2.4 kicks as the standard 1.8 are a tad on the heavy side anyway. Stick to 1.8!

an idea for the future. when do closeboard fencing i get my posts made of box section steel, with a plate welded on the bottom and angle cleats welded to take the horizontals. the posts are then either painted or zinc galvanised. i erect them at a little over 2.4 metre centres to compensate for the width of the post. much nicer to work with than those horrible concrete things, and look nicer in my opinion.
