Larch fencing with concrete posts?

[DC1977]

What do you use @JohnD ?

 

[JohnD]

usually the cheap fence stain, but for a nicer job, decking oil or stain.

Clear stuff?

What do you think of this membrane idea? Bad for the boards?

 

[JohnD]

never tried it, worth a try.

is there a void that a cat or hedgehog could get trapped in?

btw you can get wooden caps for the tops of the posts, prevents rain soaking into the end grain and promoting rot.

usually dark brown stain, and a similar masonry paint for exposed concrete posts or gravel boards.

I also have some external hardwood that I treat with a dark dye (not stain) and clear linseed oil to show off the grain.

they can get out at the end but there is a void between us and neighbours. I cut back the ivy on our side which was holding up the neighbours rotten fence, now he’s moaning! I was going to do him a favour and not give the ivy back to him, might change my mind!
Think the wife might like the larch to go a silvery colour so not sure about that colour stain? Caps on post a good idea!

looks fine, though I prefer a stain.
