Overlapping boards set between posts are commonly laid horizontally, but the design can be done with vertical boards as well. You can choose between straight and raw edges for the boards, depending on the look you prefer. The fencing pictured in this Sydney garden has straight-edge boards as a siding treatment, hiding the fence frame and posts behind.

My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
