Lapped palings overlap each other so changing timber gaps do not open a direct view through the boundary. The layered face provides dependable privacy and helps break up wind around backyards. We match post depth and fixings to the site, including soft coastal soils, firm clay and exposed inland sections.

How the Fence Looks From Each Side

Review the continuous outer face and the accessible structural side before selecting the orientation.

Presentation Side

The finished face shows a continuous run of overlapping boards with no direct sightline through the boundary.

Property Side

The property side exposes the rails and overlapping board edges, making the robust construction easy to inspect.

Construction Details and Build Choices

These build levels keep the lapped-board principle while varying timber finish and detailing. Site specifications can allow for strong wind, salt exposure, clay movement or frost.
