Looking for a specific sized timber cut

[rocketman]

Hi, I have a pretty niche requirement here. I need to cover a specific area of the fence to satisfy pool safety checks.

As circled in the photo below, the area measures about 70cm x 7cm. The current palings I applied are standard 12mm in thickness. Can Bunnings help cut this specific size? If not, what are the alternatives? At this point, style doesn't really matter to me.

Thank you

Hi @rocketman,

Unfortunately, you are not going to find a piece of timber that perfectly fits that gap.

The best solution is to simply grab another paling and rip it down to fit the gap. It would be easiest with a circular saw, but it is entirely achievable with a handsaw.

Just measure the gap accurately, ensuring there is a small expansion gap between the palings, mark those dimensions on the paling and cut along the line.

If you take your time, it isn't particularly difficult.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
