Arris fence..

[ray316]

Just got some Arris fences and posts but could do with some good advice and help here ..
The posts have notches in for the rails but garden is on a slope top to bottom so cannot use this option.
The other half wants the rails on the other side so l thought about arris brackets but l cannot get to the other side of the garden as there is a fence up already for the next garden..
How can l get the arris fence up good side showing as l have no room to get behind to secure to the posts ..

If you put the rails on the other side then how would you fix the boards assuming that is your intention?
So assuming your other half wants to see boards rather than rails on your side you could stick with the posts but recut the notches or turn the posts so their notches are away from you and make a frame with the rails and say 3x2 fixed to the ends angled the same as the ground. In effect you would be creating a parallelogram shaped "panel" to fit between your posts. Fix a post then a " panel" then fix the next post to that and so on.

Forget the arris rails and use normal splayed rails/ cant rails on the face of the posts then nail boards to these.

This is what l'm trying to explain..
I cannot get behind to fix arris brackets to posts and cannot think how to secure the panels to the posts ... Other half insists she want good side showing.
Need to come up with a solution to secure Arris fence panels to posts on good side, if the rails were square l could drill though end panel and rail into posts but arris rails arn'nt so need to find a way to do this..

you dont need arris rails if your using panels??

If the garden is on a slope you step the panels (or rails / boards).

You don't need to get behind the fence if you are using arris rail brackets. Screw the brackets to the posts in the correct position from the sides of the posts. Screw or nail the rails to the brackets from above and below. Nail boards to rails from your side and job done.

If you are using panels and posts you fix by screwing or nailing the edges of the panels to the posts your side.

Thanks for advice...
Boards are already nailed to rails when l got them , so l have heavy 9ft panel boards on the rails ...
This is why l'm stuck on how to get the brackets onto the posts when l cannot get on that side ...
I suppose could take a few boards off each end to secure brackets to posts , but are the boards easy to get off with the nails in the boards, what tool would could l use to get the nails out without damaging the boards...

In that case, to remove the boards at the edge: Pry bar / crowbar / chisels to lift the board up, (or block of wood and hammer) hopefully pulling the nails with it. Bash the board back into place and hopefully, the nails stay raised so that you can get a claw hammer on them to remove.

Best way to remove the boards is to use a reciprocating saw with a metal blade, quick easy and no damage.
When the other half says she wants to see "the good side" which side is she referring to? In my eyes that would be the boards rather than the rails.
