Garden Fences using commercial post

So I've not posted in here for a while, the misery of my life at the minute is our garden fence which I have major issues with.

Currently the fence is all over and has been somewhat 4 years of living here, all the panels at the bottoms are rotting because there on the grass, the post are all different heights and the damn thing isn't even plumb. The issue mainly is the height as we live next to a snicket what goes uphill at points of the snicket people can see in our garden so I was thinking of doing it to raise it.... to stop it leaning etc the post have to be real deep as it's retaining our lawn. Can anyone give me any ideas on getting a good 6/7ft height but with a good few foot of post in the ground ?

I've started edging towards this commercial fencing you see around 10ft high with metal mesh type panels and metal post but making some brackets for it to house concrete plinths and wood panels... what's your thoughts?

It sounds like you need a small retaining wall to hold back the lawn and build a standard wooden fence on top of it. A wooden fence will quickly rot if its against earth.

Normally, 2m is the maximum height for a fence, and if you want to go higher, then you'd need to apply for planning permission. Now as the next door garden is higher than yours at points, the council may allow you to go higher. Your posts normally go down 25% of the height, but if you're going over 2m, and the extra height that you want, then you may have to go down 33% of the height of the panels. If the bottoms are rotting, then it sounds as though concrete posts (damned heavy though) and concrete gravel boards.

I think I'd get away with the height with the council as it's a public footpath, I've got away with a mast needing planing. It's go one gravel board in at the minute so would need two, the retaining walls a brilliant idea and I've thought of it but I dread the price I have around 100m of wall needed.

Yup, that's an ouch job, but you should be able to negotiate one hell of a discount on that lot.

That's my idea close board fencing but using 100x100 box section as the post then hopefully they'll hold and be stronger against wind etc. Also the box section comes in 7.5m lengths I can cut them all to size and the off cuts can be used on another project or sold on. I've done a little drawing and I'll update the progres.
