Default Extending fence posts upwards



"Block" wrote in message

Hi,

I want to extend my garden fence upwards (for privacy), its currently
about 4 to 5 foot high, concrete posts
with wooden panels. Is this possible or do i have to have the longer 6
foot posts put in.

thanks


What you could do, is what a neighbour at one of my daughter's houses has
done, and that is to fix posts on the inside extending up, and then fix a
trellis on top. He has extended the height to about 7 feet and when climbers
are over that, he has privacy.

BUT, not sure how high you can go, I believe 7 ft is the limit

Mike
