ᐅ Which garden fence provides privacy screening?

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

OMG, do people have no sense of style anymore? This is terrible!!!

This is not Germany or Europe. It is somewhere where this is considered common and practical – different countries, different customs 🙂

To revisit a point from the first page: How are costs usually handled? For example, if my garden in a new development is bordered on both sides by neighbors’ gardens, you would have to agree on which fence to install, right? And isn’t it also common to share the costs?

The rule here is: Everyone is responsible for the fence to the right neighbor.

Check the neighborhood laws of your federal state. I believe it is always regulated there.

@opalau that is not valid everywhere.

We recently built a new garden fence and, as mentioned above, coordinated with the neighbors regarding privacy screening. We chose a privacy screen with a leather-look weave-in design. It worked well, and my wife really likes it. That’s the most important thing.
