Exterior Accoutrements

Wish there was more activity in woodworking area. So .... Here's another thing I did some years ago - a semi-Victorian?? fence. I don't like digging post holes so this was done by digging a foot wide x ~8" dp. trench - fill with crusher dust - compact and level - lay in treated 6 x 6 with top about 1 - 1 1/2" above grade. Area where I built this was level enough to allow it. All the pieces can be pre-built / pre-cut this way. The posts are in 3/4" dp. 'pockets' routed in the 6x6. Three different 'styles' - LH has seat - center is planter - RH is plain. Posts are notched for top arched member and btm. picket rail. The planter sections have 'sleepers' across to allow soil weight to help fence from being blown about. The real fence is 5 sections @ 8ft each. I like building things like this but the maintenance can be a pain here in the rain forest. Fortunately I can get 'real' 4x4 treated posts not those spindly 3 1/2 sq things.
