Hello all. I've recently built a chicken wire dog fence and am worried that the adjacent row of conifers will run into the wire and make a mess.
The fence is constructed with three horizontal bars of wood attached to the posts. This creates two panels of wire (the bottom one 90mm, the top one 60mm)

(The wonky bit on the right is actually supposed to be a post!).
I needed it to be quite high and flush to the hedge as there is a busy main road on the other side. The trees themselves are only growing out around the top panel.
My first thought was to install a hinged panel inside the top area so that I could get easily inside and trim the growth. Then I wondered whether weed suppressant or tarp along the back of the top panel would stop growth? If so, would this risk damaging the trees? (They are around 12 feet tall).
Many thanks if anyone can help? :/
