Hey,
I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I'm looking for an elegant solution to shield the south-facing terrace from the adjoining street. On one hand, as a windbreak, and on the other, as a privacy screen from passersby.
Since the distance between the south side of the terrace and the property boundary to the south ranges from 4.5m (small terrace) to 6m (large terrace), I find it hard to imagine having "two things" there. First, a privacy screen about 1.8m (6 feet) high directly at the south side of the terrace, and then something extending around the corner or along the property line, like a fence or a hedge. The space in between would feel like a kind of enclosed, narrow area or corridor. If the space were larger or wider, I think these two elements wouldn’t interfere with each other as much.
The neighbor to the west has a 1.8m to 2m (6 to 6.5 feet) high fence with privacy panels.
Maybe planting tall hedges up to the “bend/offset” of the curb on the south side could work...
I’m really a bit unsure here.
Thanks for any feedback!

You need a gate for that, and even that won’t help.I won’t keep wildlife out of our property, nor will I fence a larger area. If once a year there are distracted idiots wandering through and accidentally crossing our garden, I can tolerate that.hampshire schrieb:

If once a year some careless idiots with cell phones walk through our garden by accident, I can live with that.A gate only helps to a certain extent. We haven’t fully fenced the business premises to avoid disturbing wildlife movement. Regularly catch some fools with their dogs climbing through the bushes. I love seeing deer outside my office window, and wild boars will eventually win against chain link fencing.
