Hello,
at our house, a fence made of wooden fence panels and thuja trees was installed. Unfortunately, our children have allergic reactions to the thuja trees, and we would like to remove them. The problem is that the spacing of the thuja trees does not match the width of the fence panels. Additionally, the fence is installed about 0.7 m (2 feet 4 inches) away from the property boundary. Between the property boundary and the fence panels, there is a natural stone wall used for height compensation. Please refer to the photos for more details.
We would like to install a continuous wooden fence with rhombus-shaped slats (semi-transparent).
What options do you see for installing the fence to make better use of the property area and what is technically feasible?
For your information, according to the natural stone supplier, privacy fences should not be installed directly on the stones.

We had a similar setup with a wooden privacy screen and a lot of "green wall." In the end, we installed a simpler wooden fence and planted a mixed hedge in front of it, offset rather than in a straight line for full privacy. It’s quieter for the children but still doesn’t look like a solid board fence. Maybe a combination like a lower fence plus new hedge plants could be a compromise for better use of space and appearance in your case as well.
