Was shocked that there was ZERO damage......None, nada, zilch from wind, limbs or trees. Proof that you can do something right, even when you're flying by the seat of your pants while doing it.
Colin......I have, for YEARS, followed allotment forum and U.K news sites and have ALWAYS been appalled at the council's b.s. guidelines (like making you tear down a house you built because it's the thickness of a hair too tall) that you guys have to follow. You know what.....if my neighbors or "the council" are not paying my house payment, taxes or utility bills......I'm not asking their "permission" for nothing (course, thankful to have the freedom not to HAVE to be subjected to do such).Hi,
Great fence David.
Even a 6' tall fence wouldn't last here on the valley side being soon blown over. At our previous house whilst Bron and I were only viewing with intention of buying the next door neighbour greeted us with "what are you going to do with this fence"? We hadn't even bought the house just looking at it and the low picket fence was in poor condition. We did buy the house and having very little spare money saved up and eventually got two guys in from a fence company who made a good job of erecting a 6' tall larchlap wooden fence but only half the length required; when we had saved enough money to have the rest of the fence erected these two guys refused due to our neighbours attitude; these neighbours were now against us because we had erected a tall fence and refused permission for us to go round to treat it. Over the next few years the fence kept blowing down so I decided to sort it once and for all.
I made new fence panels of 6" x 1" softwood on a 2" x 2" frame; 4" square posts replaced the previous 3" square posts these concreted in but I designed the fence allowing it to be secured with heavy through threaded rod and nuts; removing the top rods allowed each panel to hinge now I could treat them without needing permission from these neighbours.
Living here in our dream detached bungalow we still have hostile neighbours; Bron and I can't understand why neighbours prefer war to peace; we are quiet and polite always willing to help and be friendly but the couple next door wage war between themselves it's like having WW3 over the hedge; it became so bad we had to involve the police and now we have an open police case against them for harassment; what makes people like this who don't even like themselves?
I'd love such a fence as yours David to block these neighbours out but the wind would soon destroy it.
Kind regards, Colin.
Not a Fan of fences for countless reasons But looks Strong & I bet Trump would Be impressed
Ha ha yes he is I believe it was apart of his manifesto I'd expect there is not the quantity of trees required to build his privacy fence nor the nails he would most likely want to nail it all together
. Borders should look like the way you wish the world to be not the end of it. I know its a matter of fact the world now needs fences to protect the rich & for the thieves to hide there stash, but I'm doing my bit to change that In my own little way & if that means having a little moan about the nasty structures that cross our world then that is what I must do. In England they stop mister hedgehog from finding his misses, they stop the Animals of Africa from crossing the country in search of grass & block the sun on the wrong side of the fence your neighbour has it while you have to sit in the cold . This is the kind of world that is killing everything that lives within it. not the protector some wish or think it is . That's me moaning Done
