    I'm in the middle of putting up a small slatted fence to hide an old crappy wall. Would it look best if I staggered the joins or not? Ill attach a pic of a small rough sample I made up. Thanks

    Staggered would look better. Why not just knock the wall and put up some posts and a vertical slatted fence?

    It's the neighbours' wall as she has the matching wall on the other side of her garden. It's a terrible looking thing so I'm just trying to hide it on my side the best i can

    Ah OK fair enough. Yea they were a big thing on the late 70s early 80s.

    Stagger your side and give it a wood burn effect then varnish will look decent

    Staggered, use certified roofing batons, let it weather a bit first too before oiling/treating.
