Default Fence Height

Hi,

I was looking to plant some climbers to help add some height to a fence,
the fence itself is around 6 foot hight but to give it a bit more am I
within my rights to tack on a small bit of trellis to the inside of the
fence to give them something to hang on to? If it helps it's a non-shared
fence i.e. there's a footpath on the other side rather than someone else's
garden.

Thanks


You should be all right with that (IANAL), especially as there's no
neighbour to complain.

But I would fix robustly, rather than tack, the trellis to the top. Once the
climbers of your choice have put on some growth they're going to get heavy,
and then the wind will blow.....
