Query re laying concrete blocks?

[lutonlagerlout]

I would rather use a 300mm concrete gravel board and back it up with haunched concrete
sounds like a pig of a job, proper job would be a a new foundation but as said not priced for
am I missing something but isnt it the golden rule of fencing never to erect all the posts without the panels in? if slotted posts are used?

I always do all fences by setting first post or wall plate, dig next hole, fit panel/gravel board/arris rails to previous set post and new post then level and set new post and carry on so

Not really. If you want to work in the wind for example, or delivery on panels has been screwed up you can put the posts in they just have to be spot on.

Here's an example of a fence that was done that way as the panels were the wrong size on delivery so we had to get on with it.

I use 2 lengths of batten with noggins at the right distance for spacing, sometimes had to be done as Forest says.

Correct. Its a pain slotting them in afterwards, especially more so kn your own, however inhave designed a tool for doing it with ease

... Maybe the client wants it.

Precisely, it's what the client specifically requested. But yeah it would be a damn sight stronger than concrete gravel boards which are weak as piss and not really designed for terracing land at all.

I would have gone for what Tony recommended myself but they wanted what they wanted.
