Fence post #7

There's no substitute for looking at everything in place before the final fixing, and I decided the top of the boards seemed a bit low.  I had a plan for this in mind, simply adding a gravel board to raise the level by about 6 inches.  I tried this out and then went ahead with the final design.

The gravel board is screwed to the post using pocket screws, and I made a jig from a feather board off-cut to ensure even spacing.  The overlap of the boards is 11/16 of an inch and they are nailed using 1½" (40mm) galvanised nails.
