I'm installing a new fence using 4" featheredge over wooden posts and arris rails. The posts being supported on repair spurs. I wanted more info on the fitting of the featheredge board and gravel boards but can only find this...

and found nothing. Anyone point me to a detailed fencing howto? Anyone want to make one to add to the FAQ? :)
Thanks.

I built one 20 years ago. I bought all the bits from Wickes (walking distance), and I probably used their Good Ideas leaflet, which you can get from their website now:

's still standing strong, with the original posts in their original Fensock post spikes*. The featheredge boards do shrink though -- they started off with lots of overlap, but now barely touch each other. Various neighbours with wooden panel fences have been through about 3 lots in the same 20 years.
*Fensock was another make of Metaposts, which I haven't seen for some time now. Fensock were better quality than Metaposts, and Metaposts were a lot better quality than they are now...
I've used wickes wood before. Never had a good bit yet. A local fencing supplier will get my wood business. Especially as it's half the price of Wickes.
