I plan to fence in my yard at this house in about a yr and think I will do a sacrificial bottom runner along with capping the top plus I spaced my boards with a 2x4 then come back with a cap board to fill the gap.... it makes it a full privacy (no gaps as boards shrink) and gives some dimension to dress it up.

What's your sacrificial runner consist of? It it screwed to the vertical slats?

Just a board running horizontal along bottom then slats sitting on top edge. I am planning to get 1x6 or 1x8 12' long cedar from a saw mill along bottom with a couple inches between it and the ground..... if you have a dog you may want it closer to ground
