Hello.
My neighbours garden is 2ft lower than mine.I have 8`9" concrete post,3 gravel boards and a 4ft panel in each section.After back filling my side of fence,i have one gravel board visible to my neighbours three.Two foot of the post is in the ground with concrete.Is this ok?

depends how strong the wind is.

push the posts down a nother foot

I think the wind will be the least of your problems. If it can hold back the soil you will be doing well. I am sure it cannot possibly blow over towards your garden, but it might give way towards the lower ground.

provedind that you have concreted your post in the ground at least 2 foot deep, with plenty of concrete. you should be ok. it would have to be a very strong wind to blow. it over

I had the same problem, I got around it by building `hit and miss` fencing.
our neighbour has a garden 2ft lower and we have a 30mile run up for wind
like the horizontal hit and miss here http://www.monteith-fencing.com/html/garden.html
