We've both been busy this morning, trying to make a better job of the many yards of 2m high, green plastic mesh, along the back garden fence. We put it up, to hide the mountain of soil, piled there to clear the land, by the railway, so they could build their new compound. Our back fence, is actually four layers thick - the recent plastic mesh, then behind that, some rough chain link which I put there 40 years ago, then the original rail fence, of concrete posts, with four wire strands threaded through the posts, then beyond that, the most recent rail fence, which is a proper job - vertical steel slats, with very sharp points on the top, and 2m high.
The problem has been, the mesh can only be properly fixed along the top, via a wire strung along the top. The lower edge, had to be just pinned, with tent pegs, which pull out when ever it's windy. We got some curly steel ground anchors delivered the other day - today, we've been screwing those in the soil, and reinforcing the mesh by adding rope, across the inside face of the mesh, in a series of big V's, along the full length of mesh.
Even better, would be being able to thread something through the four layers of fence, including the mesh, but I cannot fathom how, without trespassing over the fence, to thread it back through.
Oh well, just have to wait until next week now.
