I'm trying to figure out how to solve a cross fence at a 45-degree angle. The cross lies in a frame of 45X70. Would you do it as my sketch or in another way?
 
  • Wooden deck with cross-braced railing under construction, adjacent to a yellow house. Tools are resting on the deck surface.
  • Cross-brace fence diagram with 45-degree angle in a 45x70 frame, showing the potential design solution.
the way you have it on the sketch seems reasonable
 
Well, I know but I have a feeling it's going to be very tricky to get the cuttings of the cross itself up in the corners. Many angles that need to fit together:/
 
hello.
hope you can see this image?

i'm terrible at drawing in paint. :rolleyes:

But then it's a bit like I thought you meant,
or maybe I'm just really slow:blushing:

There will be a triangle inside the 70x45 rule. I was thinking a bit yesterday after your answer, and if I split a 70x45, it should become a suitable wedge for both sides. The question is just how I'm supposed to go about it since I don't have a suitable tool:D Guess I'll have to hand saw...

Thanks for your answers!

would probably have set it as I showed in the picture... my personal opinion is not to split a rule diagonally....

Aha, now I see how you do it. But my crossbars fit into the standing 70x45, so I can't let the crossbar go into the post because then it would be so different from the rest of the railing. But I'll keep it in mind for the next time I have angled corners. So I start with the crossbar all the way between the posts.

But my railing turned out completely okay anyway.
