Brickwork

… and a fence

 

I built this wall and fence 20 years ago, in 2003.

I didn’t know then that it would form part of, and support for the deck.

Initially it was just a dividing wall & fence between us and our next door neighbours.

In fact it’s a series of walls each one measuring 8 bricks long (or 1790mm) in between each wall is a 100mm x 100mm (4” x 4”) timber post which is concreted in.

When I was setting this out I first concreted the posts 1790mm apart. I then laid the foundation concrete, followed by building the walls.

By doing it this way I could build a solid fence on the top of the wall.

This Spring I’ll give the fence another coat of Cuprinol Ducksback fence paint, and it’ll be good for another couple of years … then I’ll paint it again.

I put the 6ft vertical boards on both sides of the horizontal boards that stretch from post to post; that way the wind can get through, but you can’t see through.

Where does the time go? 20 years ago!!!
