Fence extension with no visible posts or uprights

Fence extension with no visible posts or uprights

Hi all,

 

Prior post seemed to have been deleted.

I've looked around a lot but haven't found a definitive answer yet.

Needing to install fence extensions, though unsure how to do it properly without access to fence posts. Should I concrete in posts on the inside of the fence?

 

There's 7m of paved area and 7m of garden to do it in.

 

Cheers

G'day mate,

 

I agree with @Dave-1 / @Nailbag and would not extend the fence because of the wind load thing.

I did a Google with 'colorbond fence extensions'. and did not come across anything using a fence like you have.

 

Random links.

Come back if you want to discuss doing a fence extension on your side.

Thanks @EricL @Dave-1@Nailbag and @AlanM52. !!
Amazing to get all these responses so quick! What an awesome feature this is.
I'll take your advice and look into installing separate cemeted posts just for the extension.

Thanks again.

You might want to consider a 'gentle' lattice or designer type extension to reduce that aggressive look from the other side :smile:

 

Cheers
