Hello
We have purchased a semi-detached house.
After completion, we want to install a fence around our garden (we hope to have friendly neighbors who will share the costs).
We need about 55m (180 feet) of fencing.
We want the entire fence to have privacy screening and be between 1.6 and 1.8m (5.2 and 5.9 feet) high (this is legally allowed in our area).
Which type of fence would you recommend? We had thought about the standard welded wire mesh fence panels, but the privacy strips for these are quite expensive.
Is there a more affordable option, possibly with a different type of fence?
Requirements for the fence:
No maintenance (so no wood)
Privacy screening
Height between 1.6 and 1.8m (5.2 and 5.9 feet)
Must go all the way to the ground (to prevent our dog, including puppies, from escaping)
Thank you very much for your help

If you need privacy screening, you can plant ivy. It grows quickly and forms a dense cover. My neighbors did this, and it looks good. I would be cautious with ivy. It grows too fast and in 10 years develops trunks so thick that it becomes unmanageable. The only advantage of ivy is that it is evergreen.

If I were you, I would simply cover the welded wire fence with different climbing plants. It takes a few years, but it looks much better by far.I also think that’s a very good idea – when choosing climbing plants, think of Goethe’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” 😉

OMG, don’t people have any taste left? This is terrible!!! But you did read it in context, right?
“That’s just how it’s done” in Australia. Different countries, different customs. In this case, people say, “Yuck, how can anyone present themselves so openly, no one wants to see that!”
There is no right or wrong here.

OMG, do people really have no taste anymore? This is terrible!!! I have to say, I don't find the fence that bad. I would like it, as long as the plot is large enough.
