I'm looking at painting my fence soon to give it a fresh look. But before I do it, I want to close off the gap between the fence and the sleeper/retaining wall.
Any ideas on the best way to do it ?
One idea I have is leave it as is, but later on build a garden bed along the fence that will cover this space.
But want to check if these is a cost effective way to cover this gap and paint over for a better look, and to stop the neighbors veggies growing through the gap.
TIA
Hello @riziqbl
Thank you for sharing your question about covering the gap in your fence. I suggest using 70 x 35mm Outdoor Framing MGP10 H3 Treated Pine 2.4m. Structural timber is treated for insect attack and is able to be subjected to moderate wetting in a well-ventilated area. I recommend using Zenith Galvanised Countersunk screws to anchor it to the fence and the sleeper in the ground.
I've placed a sample image below to give you an idea of how to cover the gap.

Hello @riziqbl
The answer to all your questions is yes. The treated wood can be cut at the store so that it fits into your car. I suggest using Tanalised 300g Clear Enseal Timber Treatment to seal off the cut sections of the wood. Please make sure to wear gloves, goggles and a 3M GP1 Painter's Carbon Valved Disposable Respirator when using the timber sealer. Make sure to take all necessary precautions and follow all the safety guidelines recommended by the manufacturer.
