ᐅ Garden fence, 105 meters (approximately 344 feet) long

Hello,

I am looking for a garden fence that is 2 meters (6.5 feet) high and provides full privacy. It also needs to be sturdy enough to withstand a large dog.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can arrange this cost-effectively?

Thanks in advance :-)

Best regards,
Bruenette

If there are others who are also looking for a solution to the privacy screen issue, I can share my solution with you.

I am having a chain-link fence installed with curb stones, and a privacy screen mesh (like those used on tennis courts) will be attached to it. It costs around 9000 euros and is the most affordable option I have found after a long search.

Best regards
Bruenette

I would be interested to know.
Best regards,

Hello,

to list everything exactly, the offer now includes:

- Curbstones completely surrounding, 8 cm thick (3 inches)
- The fence with sturdier posts than usual and dense mesh with 5 cm (2 inches) openings so the fence can hold the dog
- Opaque green privacy screen completely surrounding
- And all around, to allow planting in front of the fence, cherry laurel 80 cm high (31 inches)

So, that was quite detailed :-) And the dog arriving next year will be a Magyar Vizsla, a Hungarian pointing dog. I hope the fence will hold up to him ;-)

Kind regards
Bruenette

Hello,

we had the same problem, but I couldn’t really warm up to a chain-link fence. So we thought about it back and forth, compared options, etc.
Then we received a quote for a single-wire mesh fence from hagafrei. It wasn’t as expensive as other options and is completely sufficient for our Australian Shepherd.
There was also a matching privacy screen available for the fence, but I think we will take care of that in the next step.

Well, I’m not sure what a fence costing €9,000 (approximately $9,600) looks like, but professionals in forest or enclosure fencing usually charge between €7 and €10 (about $7.50 to $11) per linear meter, including labor. For 105 meters (approximately 344 feet), they would be reluctant, but even if you doubled the price, you would get a 2-meter (6.5 feet) high fence for around €2,000 (about $2,150) that no deer can jump over, and neither rabbits nor wild boars can get through. Not even a Hungarian pointing dog.

You would still need to improve the appearance, but I think you could find a solution for around €7,000 (about $7,500).

You can also do it yourself:

Galvanized fencing costs less than €100 (about $110) per 50 meters (about 164 feet) in height, so a total of about €200 (about $215).
Saw-cut, fully pressure-treated wooden posts, 30 pieces (one post every 4 meters (13 feet)) at €20 (about $21) each (an incredible price, normally you pay €12–15 (about $13–16) depending on thickness; split oak battens can be found between €5 and €10 (about $5.50 to $11)) ... maximum €600 (about $645).
Posts and battens are set or driven in with an excavator, which takes less than 20 minutes. One full hour of excavator time with operator costs less than €100 (about $110).
Attach the fence with staples yourself and tighten it with the excavator (in an extreme case, that could be another €100 (about $110) for machine and operator) ... total maximum €200 (about $215) plus a few drinks for the helpers.

If 2–3 people help, it can be completely finished in 2 hours for under €1,000 (about $1,075).

From the remaining €8,000 (about $8,600), you will then have to invite the neighbors to a barbecue and plant some landscaping to improve the look.
