A modern boundary with horizontal boards fixed alternately to each side of the posts. From straight on it reads as a solid, private screen, while the staggered gaps let air and light through and reduce wind load. A clean, architectural look that suits contemporary gardens and patios.
What is hit and miss fencing?
Boards are fixed alternately to the front and back of the rails, so they overlap. You get privacy from straight on with gaps that let light and air pass through.

Why does it handle wind well?
The small gaps let wind pass through rather than pushing against a solid face, so the fence takes less strain in exposed gardens.
Can it be built horizontally and vertically?
Both. Horizontal boards give a modern, wider look; vertical is more traditional. We build to suit the garden and the house.
What timber do you use?
Smooth planed softwood or hardwood depending on budget and finish. Hardwood holds a crisp, contemporary edge for longest.
