Been tasked with doing the wood infill on a gate my uncle has fabricated. It's a box section frame about 1.8m high x 1.2m wide that he wants 8 vertical iroko boards fitting flush into. I've got two main questions -
1. How much gap should I leave for expansion around the perimeter - I was thinking about 5/6mm?
2. Tongue and groove them together and bolt them on or bolt them on individually?
Never done anything like this so any pointers appreciated!
