Default Fence Panels

Hi all

Desperation stakes here!
Looking for attractive fence panels to border the side of our back garden
onto a public street.
SWMBO won't accept the old "larch lap" or feather edge, mainly because
this is what everyone has.
Have looked at the "woven" european style which (although pretty) have
gaps that allow view-through from certain angles.
Close boarded fences, panels or hand made are rather industrial.
Ideally we are looking for a panel that will fit into slotted posts
(although this is not essential) which is pleasing to the eye from both
sides (subjective I know). It must not allow nosy sorts to see in and
must be fairly rhobust as it will be alongside a public footpath.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Phil



Concrete Block and rendered with a Square mesh trellis on your side with
something growing on it.

Feather edge boarding for the outside with the above square mesh trellis
inside

Low winded, but grow a natural hedge on the boundary. We have Holly, Bay,
and other things, but it will take a time to grow and trim

Posts and cross timbers in the normal way with vertical 3 x 1 placed
alternately inside and outside. Makes an attractive fence which would appear
see though by the 'gaps' on one side, but there is another slat on the other
side if you see what I mean

Just a few
