Completed

A corner lot with two street frontages and no privacy on either side. The homeowners wanted height without the fence reading like a wall from the sidewalk.

We ran 180 feet of six-foot cedar in a board-on-board pattern, stepped to follow the grade rather than cutting a flat line and leaving gaps at the bottom. Posts went in on 24-inch concrete footings below the frost line, with a gravel base under each so water drains instead of sitting against the post.

The street-facing run got a lattice top and a wider gate post to carry a double gate for the trailer.

Scope of work

  • 180 lineal feet, board-on-board western red cedar
  • Posts set in poured footings below frost depth
  • Stepped to grade across a 900mm fall
  • One 4ft walk gate, one 10ft double drive gate
They stepped the fence to the slope instead of levelling it and leaving a gap for the dog to get under. Nobody else who quoted the job even mentioned the grade.
