Guys Since been in lockdown many are spending more time in the gardens. Was wondering if there was a way to increase privacy in the garden by somehow extending the hight of existing fence or maybe add something new. One side is wood fenced and other is concrete, please see pics attached. Any help and advice welcome.
The stone looks more than 1.6m towards the left. As for the wooden, your neighbours garden is lower, going by the height of the doorway - so it will be 2m from their side
The easiest way without changing what's there is to buy more boards at a longer size and overlap two existing boards with each new one centralised over the two, you'll have roughly an inch overhang on each old board, then drill and fix a board over the concrete posts to cover the concrete. You'll probably need to build a small frame from whatever timber the rails are and fix it down through the top rail in order to have a fixing for the tops of the new boards to stop them flapping.
Could put a heavy duty trellis on top as this doesn't count to height restrictions as it's not solid.
with a mutual afreen Would i need to replace the concrete post for longer ones so the trellis to slide into? If not then how to they attach to existing fence please?
Just be careful you don’t turn your garden into resembling a prison exercise yard or completely hidden from neighbours view enabling the local scum to break in without being noticed
Can be secured with 3 discreet uprights behind the existing fence timber. One either end and one in the centre.
Trellis as you know is not solid but leans towards decorative and therefore lets the wind pass through unlike a solid structure. None to recommend as a lot of differing designs and quality available.
I've decided to build a DIY trellis. Looking to use 4*1 at 1.8m long horizontal. Supported with 2*2 frame in each end and one in the middle. Looking to go about 60cm high from top of existing fence. Located these for post extenders https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Fenc...e&pageci=89264d81-a992-4db7-8f53-c80f8d495f94 Anything else I need to know of? What min gap I need to keep between each of the slats? Probably have around 5 slats on each frame.
Sounds overkill with those sizes I used Tile Battens 38mm x 25mm which is like trellis in the link you posted.
Just conscious of the heavy gales we get up here. Hence was thinking of the 4 x 1 option.... Match the existing garden fence. Any other ideas...
