    Bit late to mention now but if you put them tight against one another you can get problems when the wood gets wet and swells.
    It pretty normal to allow two to three mm gap, obviously the tongue stops you showing a gap, but it does allow for expansion.

        I've installed a couple of privacy trellis panels on each side of the gate posts - something for the honeysuckle to grow up.

        Bizarrely the people who supplied the trellis have delivered another lot of panels by mistake. I've contacted them and given them the option to collect or sell to me at £10 per panel. I think that's the right thing to do.
