TBI 2,351 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I always set a concrete spur and then bolt the wooden upright to it. Then they don't rot at the base and can easily be renewed if required. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beduth 202 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Coincidence or what. I've just told my daughter to turn down a guy's quote of £360 for 'fix only' 6 No 6 x 6 panels and concrete post. Her mother and me will fix um. My 75th is coming up soon so I'll wait till after that. I've just finished building the back porch so I need something to do. Just take your time. Every bit done is a bit less to do. Plug and screw the metal clips to the concrete gravel board and screw the bottom rail on the feather edge panels to the clips. Short concrete posts for fixing timber post on to are 'godfathers'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
