Looks good. Got to be worth at least a half on the house.
We were indeed suitably refreshed afterwards!

Next on the agenda!
I'll let the fence dry out a bit before letting No.2 daughter at it with some gold oil paint to bring out the letters and arrows.
This fence will act as a bit of a notice board as directly opposite is a footpath. The idea is walkers will come onto the road and as they pause see the fence and any signage. Let's face it, before it just looked like an unkempt garden fence.
Need ideas please for an A3 notice board. Something I can fab from say ply or buffalo board and a sheet of something clear. Maybe a little roof to shed the rain. Do we just slip in the laminated sheet(s) from the side or hinge the front?
Also I want something to cover the end grain where the top of the fence curves. Lead is out because of the scumbags of course. For now I'll roller on some black bituminous paint as a stop gap. Some sort of edging, ideas welcomed.

I was even debating hammering Guinness cans flat and nailing them on shingle like.

Is that cam belt or whatever it is, wide enough?Nothing in the assorted rack of crap that would do to cap the fence boards
Was hoping I had some wide, plastic conduit lid:

No, nor long enough. Thinking on those lines though now so cheers for that.
I know where there's some EPDM offcuts. That or maybe some torch on Solarshield cut into strips.

On my own gate I capped it with trunking lid, two pieces that met in the middle. Then I ran heavy duty, black gaffer tape over it.
It was meant to be a temporary thing until I figure a screw on steel channel with decorative finials but it's stood up surprisingly well.....did it 8 years ago!
