Off-line fence posts..

Hi! I am a intermediate/pragmatic DIYer. I need to replace two, 5x5ft featheredge fence panels destroyed by wind.
*First problem - I wish to install new 6ft high panels, can i use two 5x6ft wide STANDARD panels set on their-side?
*Second problem - The fence posts were set [in concrete!] OFF-LINE with the line of fence panels. Ie, the posts sit entirely on MY side of the fence. Can anyone recommend a way to fix the two fence panels to fence posts that sit entirely on ONE-SIDE of the fence??.. Other than building a brick wall!

Tks, al.

heeelllooo alanlondon and welcome

may be missreading this but if its your fence all parts of the fence should be on your land
and why not buy the correct sized pannels
you will greatly weaken the fence panels if you rotate them through 90%

sorry if i have missunderstood

May look a bit odd too!

If you can't buy any the right dimensions its just as easy to make your own.

Panels and posts are in line in most systems I've seen.

You could build a fence with arris rail (triangular section) and arris rail brackets. Then you get feather edge board (one thick edge, one thin edge) and nail up the boards (overlapped of course, that's why they have a thin edge). The fence then is all on the outside.

Wickes etc. do all of this. Pressure treated wood of course.
