Evening @blue4213 

If thats what I am picturing in my head then that will look pretty swish! :laugh: Nice thinking.

 

So to make sure I have it right you are after vertical timber battens/pieces between each piece of the corrogated sheet?

 

If its right then how about ripping some Merbau down to 30mm width and then you could screw through the timber, metal and then into the timber behind. I would drill a pilot hole in the merbau for sure tho. Here is an example of 90mm SpecRite 90 x 19mm Merbau Pre-Oiled Decking - Random Lengths - 90mm 

 

This is a 90mm ripped down to 45mm

I needed something around the 40mm ish mark wide to help strengthen an armrail.

Scray but once I worke dit out it was easy, stressy but easy :smile:

If you cut 30mm It should fit between the grooves of the corrogated sheets. You could even make the timber slats taller then the black fence for a different look.
