Fence - 3 styles, Woodworking Plans
[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]There are many fence styles that are fancy yet easy to built. Use them for privacy, as
a focal point, or to enclose an area of your property. The fences covered in this section
are built
board by board
, so they take some time, but they add beauty and a custom
touch that can’t be beat.
Our first style uses lattice on top and reverse boards on the bottom below the beltline.
The pictures show a variety of designs following this same overall style. This fence
design is unique because the top remains level while absorbing all changes in ground
height in the bottom section. Because of this, this style fence is limited to areas with
small elevation changes. (under 2 feet of rise or fall over the total run of the fence)
First determine the spacing of your
posts and mark them. This is
determined by the length of the lattice
you're using. Make sure this is your
inside post to post measurement. Use
4"x 4" posts. All lumber will be
pressure treated. You can stylize the
fence to achieve the exact look you
want by adding such touches as
painting the lattice panels, or adding
post caps on each post. The options
are endless, and your fence will be one
of a kind.
The drawings show two different ways
to attach the lattice. Figure "A" has a
groove cut to receive the end of the
lattice panels. The width of the groove
will be determined by the thickness of
the lattice being used. Standard grade
lattice panel will use a ½" groove by ½"
deep. Heavier grades of lumber will
require wider grooves.
Figure "B" shows another method of
fastening the panels. This method uses
1"x 2" and 2"x 2" lumber for the lattice
panels to fastened to. A cover strip of
¼"x 2" wood will be fastened around
the edge as shown.
The bottom section is a reverse board
style, which is created by installing 1"x
6" fence boards vertically on one side
of a 2"x 4" horizontal support. Install
these boards leaving one board’s width
of space between each vertical fence
board. The same will be done on the
back side but with the boards and
spacing being opposite. Reference
figure "C" for the lower section of this
fence style.
Figure C
Our second unique style is a modified stockade fence. With the raised sections at each
post, this fence has more the look of a "Fort" than a stockade. The construction of this
fence will be the same as a standard stockade board fence, except for the 3 boards
nearest each post. Notice that the two boards nearest the post are the same height. The
3
rd
board out steps halfway down to the height of the main fence. This style does not
have exact measurements for height of individual boards. Those measurements are
determined by what looks good for the setting. The photo on the left has 6" steps that
are uniform. The photo below shows a 9" step up from the running fence height, then a
6" step up to the board closest to each post. After determining the look you desire, you
should stay consistent with those measurements. If your ground slopes sufficiently you
may have to adjust these steps to look appropriate on each side of the post.
Our last example requires another skill…bricklaying. If you ever wanted to learn the art
of bricklaying, these simple short fence posts are ideal to practice on. We will not cover
"how to lay brick" in this section, but a good way to get started is to get a book from your
local library on the subject. I’ll provide two tips that do not seem to be in most books. 1.
Mix your mortar wetter than you think. 2. Don’t over work the brick after it is laid and
tapped into position. Once it’s straight, plumb and in line, move on to the next. For each
brick post you will need a footer that is 4" wider than your post, and at least 6" thick. Be
certain to go below the frost line for your area to prevent frozen ground from heaving the
posts.
For the fencing material I would recommend plastic, or plastic coated wood sections
available at Lowe’s Home Centers. They come in a variety of styles, and never need
maintenance. The mounting hardware will be available from the fence manufacturer.
Your spacing between brick posts will be either 6 feet or 8 feet depending on the fence
sections you use.
