– Miter saw – Tape measure – Clamps – Level – Nail gun or driver
– 1x boards – 2×4 boards – 4×4 posts – Quick set concrete – Post anchors – Nails or screws (outdoor rated)
Install 4×4 pressure treated post. If installing on concrete, use a post anchor and follow anchor directions. If installing in soil, use a fast set concrete mix and follow directions on bag.
step 1
Cut horizontal boards to length. To add interest to the design of the boards, I used 1×4 and 1×6 pressure treated boards.
step 2
Attach boards to post using either nails or screws. I used one of the boards as a spacer to make sure the spacing was consistent.
step 3
For a more finished look, cut vertical cap boards to length. In the picture below, you can see how we were in the process of this.
step 4
Wait a few weeks for lumber to dry, and apply stain.
