How do I access my purchase?

Right after checkout, Etsy will give you a link to your downloads. Depending on the product, you will get either a PDF you can download directly, or a small PDF that links to a Google Sheets file you copy into your own Google Drive. Either way, you can open everything on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Most products are also designed to print cleanly at home if you prefer paper. If you have trouble accessing anything, message me through the shop and I will walk you through it. I respond within 24 hours.

Because everything in the shop is an instant digital download, Etsy's policy does not allow returns or refunds once a file has been delivered. This is standard across the platform for digital products. That said, if anything is wrong, a file does not work, you cannot access it, or you are not happy with what you received, please message me through the shop before leaving a review. I respond within 24 hours and I will make it right. My goal is for everything I sell to genuinely help. If something is broken or unclear, I want to fix it.

Can I share or resell what I buy?

Everything in the shop is licensed for personal use only. That means you can use the products yourself, print them, save them on your devices, and build the projects in the plans for your own home or homestead. You may not resell, redistribute, share publicly, or use any of the files for commercial purposes. This includes uploading the files to other platforms, selling printed versions, or using the designs to produce items for sale. If you build something from a Firesided plan, I would love to see it. Tag the shop on social media or send me a photo through Etsy messages. Sharing photos of your own builds is always welcome.

Digital download
Digital file type(s): 2 PDF, 1 other file

Digital download. Two PDF files (imperial + metric) plus a SketchUp 3D model you can spin and inspect in the free SketchUp mobile app. No physical item ships. Download via desktop or mobile browser, not the Etsy app.

Build a modern horizontal slat privacy fence in 8 ft / 2.4 m bays that runs as long as your yard needs, standing 6 ft 2 in / 190 cm with black posts and a cedar face. Boards pocket screw to the posts from behind, so no screw heads show on either side. That hidden fixing method is the same one you will use on any cladding job where the face has to stay clean.

Post spacing: 96 in / 244 cm on centre
Clear span between posts: 90½ in / 230 cm
Board face: 5½ in / 140 mm
Gap between boards: ⅝ in / 15 mm
Post section: 6x6 in / 120 x 120 mm
Skill level: beginner
Build time: 1 weekend (posts day 1, boards day 2 after the concrete cures)
