Hello,
I would like to install a double rod panel fence at a height of 1.2m towards the neighbor. My property is about 25cm lower than the neighbor’s.
There is unfortunately a very uneven concrete base at the property boundary, original from the 60s.
The base runs the entire length from the left to the right end with a total slope of about 40cm and unfortunately with some waves and "hills." This makes it difficult to achieve a uniform height offset for the fence posts when mounting on the base without having a large gap under the first few fence panels on the left. Here, I would make core drills with a diameter of about 15cm in the existing base and then mortar the posts in.
An alternative would be to simply buy the fence posts a bit longer and place them directly adjacent to the base on my lower property. However, I don't know if that will hold, since only three sides of the fence post would really have concrete, and the fence post would directly abut the existing concrete base, with no or very little concrete beside it when embedding (see graphic for illustration). I also want to waste as little space as possible since the garden is very narrow.
The next problem I see is that a hedge is supposed to be planted directly next to the fence. So, the ground will have to be dug up again right next to the concreted fence posts for the hedge plants, which could pose a risk that the concrete foundation of the fence posts no longer has enough hold.
The neighbor is basically indifferent as to whether the fence goes on or next to the base.
I just want to find the overall best solution for fence + hedge.
What do you think?
