How to extend timber fence for privacy?

DaveF_1969

Recently neighbour finished their build. They are on an elevated slab so their house is around 50cm higher than mine. Their landscaper elevated their previously sloped backyard to be level by raising it 50cm higher. We can pretty much see into each other houses.

Was thinking at putting a lattice up. Something like a Lattice Makers 2400x500 Fence Extension Woven. Fence is 1.6m between posts on sides and 2.7m apart in centre. The lattice is 2400 wide. How would I best go about making it secure

Hi @DaveF_1969,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

Unfortunately, the largest length Lattice Makers products come in is 2400mm, so the 2700mm post spacings could be a bit tricky. To overcome this, I'd suggest custom ordering your lattices for the bay spacings. You can order two 1350mm extensions for the 2700mm spaces.

You can use this https://latticemakers.com/calculator/ to get an idea of pricing, then speak with the Special Orders team at your local store to order the extensions.

Once received, you can follow this guide on https://www.bunnings.com.au/diy-advice/building-construction/fences-gates/how-to-install-a-fence-extension to install them.

You might also consider using our https://www.bunnings.com.au/services/in-home/fence-extension-installation service if you would like to have someone install them for you.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Jacob
