Hi all,
I’m trying to plan ahead and would be grateful for any advice.
I have a brick wall in my garden and planning to put up a 6’ x 4’ overlap fence on it. The wall is 4ft high and width of a brick, c.220mm and about 11m (36ft) long. I know this would take my wall height to over 2m so I would need planning permission. Just want to weigh out my options.
Is it advisable to use 4” wooden posts with bolt down fence post supports (the metal ones) to erect the fence? If the fence was sitting directly on top of the wall on one half of width, would this cause any issues in terms of stability, safety, etc?
In the event of not getting PP, what would be the best way to put up 4ft fence (half up, half down to meet 2m rule)? Ideally, would prefer a solid fence rather than 2ft trellis. (My friend has a few spare 4ft fence which I can have, hence why wanting to use 4ft high fence).
Many thanks,
P.s. I live in busy city in England so privacy is hard to come by.
