This year, we plan to build our house, and since patience is not really our strong suit (okay, which I think is understandable, because we are fulfilling our lifelong dream), we have already talked today about the garden fence and, of course, the gate as well.
The fence should primarily be an eye-catcher in front of the house and also durable and low-maintenance. We are not worried about the costs... What matters is that the quality and value for money are right.
We appreciate any tips!

I would rather say that it generally concerns fences, which are only allowed to be 1.2m (4 feet) high. What you do beyond 3m (10 feet) from the property line is then just privacy screening and not a fence... I'm curious to hear what others say, as this topic interests me as well (I also have a property line that only allows 1.2m (4 feet), but I would like more).

A 2m (6.5 ft) gabion is difficult to dismantle.

I’ll just jump in here briefly since we’re talking about fences.
Our development plan states a maximum fence height of 1.2m (4 feet). “Living” fences, such as hedges, are also allowed. Do I understand correctly that if I only plant a hedge, I must keep it trimmed to 1.2m (4 feet)? But if I build a fence in front of it, the hedge can grow as tall as it wants?
We want some privacy from the street, so the hedge should be about 1.8m (6 feet) tall.
My plan: start with just the hedge, and if someone complains, install a welded wire fence in front.A fence is installed on or just inside the property boundary.
Your hedge is not!
Different setback rules apply here: these specify how far a tree, shrub, or plant must be planted from the boundary line, usually depending on its potential height.
Otherwise, the development plan, state building regulations, or local neighbor laws usually clarify the rules for living boundaries.
Edit: for example, a 2-meter (6.5 feet) tall hedge may need to be planted about 50cm (20 inches) from the boundary.
Best regards in short

A 2m (6.5 ft) gabion is difficult to dismantle. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to simply relocate a hedge, whereas moving a gabion is possible, although it can be tedious... but it will withstand being moved without damage.

Bieber08159 Mar 2017 16:16Both fences and hedges are installed on the boundary of your property, on your side of the boundary. Unless the neighbor agrees to the installation on the boundary itself. At least, that is how it is here, as it is regulated by regional law.
The height of the enclosure as well as the permissible heights of trees and shrubs depending on their distance from the boundary are also governed by neighborhood laws here (possibly supplemented by a development plan or zoning regulations).
