It's been 2 years since you built your fence and I'm wondering if, in retrospect, you would do anything differently. How has the wood weathered and how often do you restain? Have you had any sagging or bowing of the wood? How long are the cedar strips and how far apart are the post? Thanks so much for sharing your experience and your lovely fence.

We left about 1/8" between each slat. Ours doesn't let a lot of light in, but that's because we covered an existing fence - otherwise, I think 1/8" would be fine for both light and privacy. I wouldn't change a thing - I love it! Thanks, Karly. We left about 1/8″ between each slat.

I want to copy you. : ) I am wondering whether or not to leave space between the slats to let more light in. Did you leave any space between yours? I like the idea of letting more light come into our back patio, but would love the extra privacy of no spaces. What are your thoughts? Also, if you had to do it again, would you change anything? Thanks! Karly I LOVE your fence! I want to copy you.

What colour did you use in the Cetol stain? Looks great. -Angela Hi – I’m searching the web for “horizontal fence” images and came across yours. What colour did you use in the Cetol stain?
