[@neilcurry7794]

Super job and amazing video. You've inspired me so doing my own - question is on if the concrete post you put the 3x2 batten onto isn't level vertically how do you compensate for that? Do you use plastic shims behind the batten to level up? Thanks a mil

[@Matipolandscaping]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed! Yea you've got it exactly.. pack out your framing timber from the post to get it perfectly level 👌⚒️ you can run a string line between posts you know are vertical to see how much you need to pack out 👍

When you add the wooden batten to the concrete post, I take it you screw it so you have to drill into the concrete first is that correct? Thanks great vid

Drill a pilot hole into the concrete first, then attach using concrete bolts/screws

[@ashtonwilson8430]

Sorry to be a pain! Looks absolutely amazing but how exactly do I get it so the joins don’t look so repetitive? Do I need to cut a bit of each bit of timber? With the price of timber at the moment I really want minimal waste

[@altechwarlock9029]

Hey mate, appreciate your work. Just a quick one, how do you determine the measurement for the battens to give you that staggering pattern. Eg 1>>> 2>

[@Matipolandscaping]

Thank you! It will depend on your post spacings.. so measure to the centre of 3 different posts and that will give you your measurements to stagger the joins 👍

[@maxgrick]

Hi George, thanks for the video. I am currently following this video for my DIY garden project. Would the weed sheet behind battens cause noisy garden during windy days?

[@Matipolandscaping]

Good stuff! Once it's been battened down there is no movement at all in the membrane.. no noise at all 👌⚒️

[@tmashadi]

Hi. Looks great. Does anyone know if you need to leave a gap between the boards end to end when you add the continuing board. these all look continuous with no gap but I wonder if they stay like that? Would they last as well as traditional fences with wider boards? I've seen some put vertical supports every 2 feet (600mm). Would every 3 foot (900mm) be sufficient with the actual posts being 6 feet (1800mm) apart? Finally, would a 4x4 post support a 2 sided fence like this with EPDM or tar paper in between the 2 sides? I love to build one but even though these are popular in Europe, no one seems to have them here in the US. I would really appreciate a response if anyone could answer my questions.

how do you attach the membrane to the posts? and do you advice a nail gun over screws?

The battens hold the membrane tight to the framing.. once your first battens on it should stay in place..you can shoot on an additional batten at the top to hold the membrane and then remove this one, once you reach full height..
