Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Sep 10, 2012 2:54 pm On weekend I bought a bosch mitre saw (now i have a saw, laser measure, tape, drill , few drill bits ) and drive around my estate, took some photos of merbua fences done, measure what I need. I need to do the fence as two sections, I will post the pictures down. I the middle I am planning to do merbua setps to my porch. The measurements I took is 7790mm fence + 590mm fence to put a letter box. what space I need to leave between the posts? can I do 1100mm between the posts? in that case I need 8 posts for the long fence and 2 posts for the letter box one(total of 10) , and i am looking 1m in height. Can anyone tell me where is the good place to get the materials (timber, screws etc) near by epping, victoria. If anyone have any calculators can please calculate the materials I need finish off this job. I dont know what size of merbua slates i need to get, but I think the bigger slates looks nicer in regards to the fences What about nonail decking? can I use that application on the fence as well? http://nonaildecking.com.au/ Below is some pictures of what I am looking to do. I am looking to do this job over the coming weekend if weather allows. https://picasaweb.google.com/1125670613 ... directlink Re: Best place to get decking material around Epping, Victor 2Sep 17, 2012 9:08 pm Hi Urk, I am in the process of ringing around to find out merbau prices, havent narrowed it down yet but found this company on ebay, might be worth a ring when you know your sizes and get prices. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300603739890 ... 1423.l2649 We had our front porch done about 18 months ago and got the merbau from Merbau City in campbellfield, I cant seem to find them online anymore, think they might have closed down. At that time I rang Danahers Mitre 10 in South Morang who were competitive but Merbau City was cheaper at the time, maybe give them a ring for a price check as well. Good luck.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 10973 Not recommended! The image presented is for a sublevel area. The footings are down deep with a load bearing wall supporting the upper floor level. If you did that drain… 8 10601 Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil. It will look 10 years younger and add value to your home.
