Hello,

I am about to do some featheredge fencing, and have
two quick questions about (1) metposts and (2) arris
rail clips.

(1) Do I fit the post to the metpost, and then knock it
into the ground, or do I put the metpost in the ground
and then knock the post in?

(2) Do I fit the arris rail clips to the arris rail, and then
nail them to the posts, or do I fit the clips to the posts
and then nail to the arris rail?

Also, does anyone know if you can buy a "water level"
or do you just make one up out of some clear tubing?

Thanks in advance,
Al

Exactly like that, except that I was hoping not to have
to pay £15 for it!  Still, I should get some use out of it
while I landscape my garden.

Thanks for the link,

Garden Hose with a couple of bits of clear plastic stuck in each end!! There
is no pressure so a very lightweight hose is good enough and a bit of clear
flexible plastic hose or tube stuck in the end and taped into place.

Or, if you can get it cheaper, a long length of plastic hose. (Borrowed and
then returned??)

As used in the shipbuilding industry to get levels and angles of slipway for
launch.
