Small bit of Fencing

    I want to make a fence using galvanised iron sheeting, its 10ft wide by 5ft high. Its between back of shed and end wall.

    Thinking of using 3x2 for the two wall posts and same for the 3 horizontal
    posts.


    Then fitting 6ft galvd sheets 'horizontally' to these horizontal posts.

    Fitting the sheets horizontally allows me to overlap them and can adjust them to fit exactly between the two walls.

    Cant get 5ft sheets or I would fit them vertically and I'm not going to cut them.


    What do people think of this.

    Would you not fit two vertically and overlap them?

    They're gonna be 6ft high if you put them vertically.

    Sorry for a next day reply.The reason I asked were they corregated is that the run of corrugation will be horizontal and will there be a water issue or algae (green gunge) buildup later?

    no your grand, as this is down the end of the garden and I'm old :D I just want to fence it off so not worried about anything like that to be honest.


    Would it be ok to use 3 x 1½ on the horizontal posts (instead of 3 x 2) would it be strong enough as they would be 10ft long.
