how ro cover the gap underneath the fence?

Hi guys,

I need professional opinions on how to cover the gap underneath the fence?

I know there is a straight forward way of putting sleepers underneath but to do that I need to remove the panels and everything which is a big job nonetheless great one.

Are there other options? I’m planning to cover the gap so it gives me a neat n tidy looking wall. Also I want to plant veggies in the foot or so area between the fence and the retaining wall.

 

Thank you heaps!

Hello @HarrySan 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about covering the gap underneath your Colorbond fence.

 

There is no need to disassemble your fence when putting in the 200 x 50mm Sleeper H4 Sienna MicroPro 2.4m. I suggest digging a channel underneath your fence so that you can slot the sleeper directly into the gap. You also have the option of using concrete and composite sleepers. To keep the sleeper in place you can use Jack 450mm Heavy Duty Steel Sleeper Peg Flat Stake or the Jack 450mm Sleeper Peg Steel Corner Stake along with the Jack 450mm Sleeper Peg Steel Flat Stake. Once the pegs are driven into place you can then screw the supports into the sleeper.

 

The 200 x 50mm Sleeper H4 Sienna MicroPro 2.4m uses a copper-based preservative which makes it safe to use in playgrounds and vegetable gardens. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
