I’m thinking of using this cladding
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ekodeck-219-x-26mm-3-6m-carbon-batten-screen-castellated-panel_p0488949
To clad my limestone retaining wall, above the wall there is a mixture of Hardy and colourbond fences, thinking of spray painting all that white (currently “dune”)
any advice on the cladding diy? I was thinking I should just stick to the height of the retaining wall rather than all the way up (houses to the rear are higher blocks).
Hello @kiarae
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about cladding your limestone wall.
I suggest having a look at this discussion -How to install Ekodeck castellated panel onto my retaining wall by @Neil1984. This is an excellent example how installing the Ekodeck 219 x 26mm 3.6m Carbon Batten Screen Castellated Panel can transform the look and feel of your backyard. I would suggest installing it as high as legally allowable (council rules) in regards to fencing height rules.
Getting a uniform finish is the goal when installing these panels near your wall. It would be best to install them independent from your existing retaining wall and Colourbond fence. The Colourbond fence is not designed to hold onto the weight of the panels and might end up dragging them down towards your area. I recommend using either timber or metal posts in combination with fence rails to hold the panels in place.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
