C.beckmann198627 Apr 2021 20:46Hello everyone,
since we have made some progress with the terrace, we are now moving on to planning the partition wall.
A brief introduction: we have decided on a concrete slab with a wood-effect finish from Kann. This will be framed all around.
The landscaper would like to install a terrace divider right away. According to him, it would be difficult to do this later because the terraces (semi-detached houses) will be framed, and the edging would have to be damaged again in order to properly anchor the partition wall.
However, since the landscaper’s prices for the partition wall are quite steep, we would prefer to do this ourselves later, after consulting with the neighbor. So here are my questions:
1. Is it really that “difficult” to install the partition wall later once the terrace is complete? Of course, I would prefer not to “ruin” the landscaper’s work.
2. What type of partition wall do you recommend? Ultimately, we have only one neighbor since this is a corner lot.
We had looked at something made of WPC (wood-plastic composite). However, that is probably not the best solution in terms of sound insulation.
On the other hand, a masonry wall is likely to heat up significantly in summer.
We are somewhat uncertain and open to ideas and advice. What works well with a terrace that has a wood-effect finish?
Thank you very much in advance.

Strahleman27 Apr 2021 21:01There are so-called concrete fences with various surface designs, ranging from plain panels to stone or wood finishes. We will use something like this for our semi-detached house. This type of partition wall can be quickly built by yourself, and different designs can be used on each side.
Gala is not wrong.
The curbstones or boundaries are set in concrete.
Removing them later to dig foundations is not fun.
Of course, it is possible, but if you agree on it now, it makes things easier and probably looks better. If you have to reopen it later, you won’t get a perfect result anymore.
Search for privacy screens made of larch rhombus profiles.
I wouldn’t go for plastic there, just as little as a wall.
Some wind permeability is also very valuable in summer.

Pwnage6193 May 2021 10:47I am facing the same question. Both we and our neighbors do not want the glass partition that the developer is installing.
We both want the developer to leave it as is, and for us to build something ourselves together.
What do you think about the hollow blocks that can be filled with sand, soil, or gravel to make them stable?
Concrete fences are definitely very interesting as well.
Are there any other alternatives?

hampshire3 May 2021 10:51Have the landscaping contractor embed sleeves for securing a partition wall during the concrete work. This will save you time. You probably want to coordinate with your neighbor as well, right?
