How to attach a fence to the "middle" of a post

[vagabondo]

Hello!
I'm planning to set up a fence and want the sections "between" the posts and not on top. How to do this? I've seen so-called fence brackets, but they don't seem sufficient for a long fence. Routing the posts so that the supporting rails are inserted there would be something, but there are quite a few posts, and it would have to be done twice as well - unfortunately, I don't have much time. Is there any clever way to speed up the process?

It's just a matter of skråskruva - I'm doing it right now and it works excellently and becomes sturdy.

Exactly!
Pre-drill as well, so it won't crack even in 10 years.
Or even simpler, use Grabbers' self-drilling decking screws.

...yes, the right (good) screw is a prerequisite for this to work. Personally, I use Essve screws now and it would definitely not work with cheap Biltema/Byggmax screws......I think.

When you only have two arms, a little hi-tech carpentry tools are needed:



Cozy corner:




Beveled edges on the horizontal pieces enhance the overall impression.

The posts are rough 75x75, horizontal 22x70, narrow pins are 34mm cut from a 22x120, wide pins are 22x95, the distance between the pins is about 20mm.


Midpoint fastening, skew-screwed

The sharp-eyed may notice that the sticks are symmetrically placed around the center so that all sections look the same, instead of everything being built from left to right or vice versa. Symmetry!

Nice
I especially like your "snickarbänk"
There you can have one or two "screwdrivers"

You can only do that when the huschef isn't home.....

Thanks for the inspiration. I will build a plank and fence now in the spring, have a thread on the subject but here I found exactly what I was looking for.

I built a similar fence, but instead of skew driving, I used slightly longer screws and screwed through the entire width of the board from the short side. The spacing between the slats is somewhat tighter and the screw holes are almost invisible.

What dimensions do you have for your fence?

 

[JanneJanne123]

45 and 95 are the slats. They are quite tightly set as they act as sound dampers for a heat pump located behind. The gap is the width of a folding ruler.

Nice!

Do you have time/desire to give your thoughts on my thread? That way I won't hijack this thread with my questions

Hi!

What kind of cap rail do you have for your fence?
Am I correct in understanding that you screwed the horizontal boards at an angle into the post, but also angled the innermost slat towards the post?

The slats are screwed into the horizontal board? One screw per slat or two on the wide one, one on the narrow one?
