How to install weatherboard fencing?

Hi wonderful workshop community 

 

We recently got our new fence installed and now starting to plan out some landscaping.

I want it install some weatherboard panels to zone off part of the fence above where the deck will eventually go, using weatherboard panels in the image below.

From what I gather, I'll need to frame up portions of the space between the posts (RED) for the panels to be fixed to (BLUE).

Would love any input from anyone, particularly to do with type of timber, screws, brackets suitable.

 

Thanks again all.

Hi @WingingIt,

 

The Dulux 10L Medium Texture Exterior Paint doesn't require the floating step, but you'll still need to use a sponge or mitt to smooth the surface in a circular motion, removing roller marks. It's best to work in a team and have someone to follow behind on this job.

Hi @diy_hausdesigns,

 

Did you use the texture roller over the Dunlop render to enhance the render look?

Hi @MitchellMc I applied the Dunlop render directly onto the FC sheets using the texture roller. The photo below is how it came out in closer detail.
