My neighbour's hedge which is the boundary between our gardens is the bane of my life. I'm fed up of all the weeds and bits of foreign tree that seem to constantly grow on my side (there's never anything on hers!!) so I thought I'd put up a fence to try and keep her hedge over her side and - hopefully - stop it the huge amount of weeds that come over mine.
So, I reckoned on either a ranch style fence or closed board (I hope that's what you call it). It's not going to be that tall - maybe about 4 feet high.
How deep do I need to put the fence posts and how far apart should they be?
I'm having a hellish time trying to dig holes for the posts cos of the hedge roots - so any top tips there would be appreciated - saves my poor hands from any more blisters!
Would these metal fence support things that you get (seen them in Wickes) be any good to use?
