Installation advice
For a 150 cm fence, allow for 3 rails (bottom at 10 cm, middle at 70 cm and top at 140 cm). Pre-drill each board 2 cm from the edge to prevent splitting. Use 4x50 mm stainless-steel screws for a durable fixing. Apply treatment to every face before installation, paying particular attention to the end grain.
Spacing between boards: a solid gate acts like a sail in the wind, placing considerable strain on its hinges and posts. A gap of 15 to 20 mm between boards significantly reduces this strain and is recommended for wide gates and windy locations. A 10 mm gap gives an almost fully private finish. Beyond 25 mm, the slatted effect lets light through and allows visibility.
Care and protection
Reapply exterior wood stain or oil every 2 to 3 years. Inspect the bottom 10 centimetres of the boards, the area most exposed to splashes of water and soil. Douglas fir withstands outdoor conditions without treatment, but annual maintenance extends its lifespan considerably.
WoodUp advice
Before you buy: this 150 cm Douglas fir board is compatible with WoodUp 91x21 mm rails for gates and tall fences. Untreated Douglas fir naturally turns grey outdoors without losing its structural properties; applying an exterior oil or stain before installation helps preserve its original colour for longer. Check the exact height required for your project before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 150 cm and 175 cm boards?
The only difference is the length: the 175 cm board is 25 cm longer. The 150 cm board suits fences and gates of a standard height. The 175 cm board is intended for taller gates or where more privacy is needed.
Can these boards be used horizontally in a fence?
Yes. Installing 150 cm boards horizontally creates a contemporary "horizontal slat fence" look. In this case, fit vertical supports every 120 cm to keep the boards straight.
Can these boards be cut to a shorter length?
Yes. Solid wood is easy to cut. Treat the freshly cut end immediately with an end-grain treatment to prevent moisture absorption.
Is a complete gate kit available for this board length?
No. For this length, you need to assemble the gate yourself using these boards, 91x21 mm rails and a diagonal brace. Woodup gate kits are available in heights of up to 120 cm.
How many boards are needed for a 5-metre fence that is 150 cm high?
With 91x21 mm boards fitted edge to edge, allow approximately 11 boards per linear metre, or 55 boards for 5 metres. With 5 mm gaps, allow approximately 50 boards.
