Hello 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.

We have brick cladding, and the middle wall is also brick-faced.
Since both we and the neighbors have the garage slightly protruding on the outside, our patios are now somewhat recessed. Cozy. And no, we didn’t want the wall built all the way up to the roof, as we wanted some airflow.
After two summers, we still like it. Of course, it’s not soundproof, but we have our own conversations and don’t need to eavesdrop on the neighbors.

My favorite would be wide larch wood boards installed in a connected pattern. Affordable, visually appealing, they develop a beautiful silver-gray color over time, are weather-resistant, and allow you to easily attach items—whether decorations, hooks, or an outdoor screen for watching sports.
Build the fence so that air can circulate and doesn’t get trapped too much, as that makes it especially uncomfortable in hot weather.
