What is the size of d plot sir? It looks quite big
But i would prefer 6" solid to 6" hollow for fence, apart from sound breakage, i see solid to be stronger.

This plot size is about 600sqm, this is a village so no need to measure or survey the land. On the blocks, its a matter of choice. These 6" hollow we changed to are very strong.

The practice is to lay one pair straight, then cut the next in halves and lay them on the pillars.
