Default leylandii in tubs -feasible?

Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:166469

I would like a six foot hedge to give me some privacy from my intrusive
neighbour, but am aware of the possible anti-social consequences of a
traditionally planted hedge which grows out of control. Is it feasible to
grow leylandii in tubs to restrict root growth and to make trimming height
easier by leaning the whole thing over? I can see possible problems of
stability in high winds etc, but on the other hand, if they are neglected in
a tub, they cannot grow out of control.

This is a serious question, not a troll. I have a 5 ft ranch fence which is
the pride and joy of my neighbour, even though it is only fit for
firewood. And he is always leaning over it like Chad.
