The project:

we needed a fence extension but decided all extensions were ugly so we made this one that we love the look of and hope you do as well.

It is made from steel and couldn’t be on the top of fence due to a neighbour who has a problem with everything so we made bent brackets to hold the extension out from fence on our side.For privacy we covered the frame with shade cloth and wire mesh so a creeper could grow on it .

steel

Mesh

Shade cloth

clamps

Angle grinder

Welder

Drill

- Step 1:

cut the steel to lengths

Hello @Bbundywood01

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your fence extension project.

This is a really clever solution that looks modern, practical and beautifully integrated with the existing fence. The custom curved brackets are a standout feature, creating a subtle offset that gives the extension a lighter, more refined appearance while providing plenty of room for the screening and future climbing plants to thrive. The combination of the steel frame, wire mesh and shade cloth is both functional and attractive, and once the creeper fills in, it will create a lush, natural privacy screen that complements the garden perfectly.

Again, thank you for sharing such a clever project.
