Hi! Fence building underway! Planning to have 90 cm high 95*95mm posts and attach 3 rails between the posts standing 2m apart. The rails are 34*150. How would you attach them? Angle brackets? Toe screwing on the short sides or maybe both? Also, what do you think about the dimensions, will it look odd? (not planning to have pickets)

Thanks!

Hello! Fence building in progress! Planning to have 90 cm high 95*95mm posts and attach 3 rails between the posts that stand 2m apart. The rails are 34*150. How would you attach them? Angle brackets? Screw through the short sides or maybe both?
Also, what do you think about the dimensions, will it look silly? (not having any slats)

Thanks!
Personally, I think these fences look a bit cheap, but that's a matter of taste.
If it were me, I would have set them overlapping.
And have them extend by 10 cm + you can saw off the edges of the board so that there’s some character in the wood.
On second thought, my description is more for the countryside. I have no idea about your situation.
But I would probably angle the rails and likely would go with 45×145/170mm rails.

Thanks for the reply, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I want to attach the rails between the posts and not so that they go in front.
 
Something like this
 
  • White wooden fence bordering a grassy area, in front of dense green foliage.

I edited my post above. Sounded a bit too cocky, wasn't my intention at all.
I would have notched the studs but would probably have chosen 45×145/170mm studs.

How did you do it and what dimensions did you choose? Do you have any pictures of the result?

I'm considering a 110 high fence and 3 or four horizontal 34x145 with space in between and I'm also thinking about the fastening.
 
Suggestion type 160 mm outdoor screw angled from below for stability/strength, and then a nail angled from above to prevent twisting.
