Wind load privacy fence (double rod mesh with foil) on L-stone?

Hello everyone,

On the recommendation of the gardener (now separated), we had an L-stone (12cm thick) installed at the terrain jump to the neighbor over a length of 7 meters and a height of 150cm under the premise that a privacy fence would later be mounted on it.

However, I have been stuck for a while regarding wind load. Our setup is as follows:

1x 200cm height on 250cm width
1x 160cm height on 200cm width
1x 120cm height on 150cm width

The first post of 200cm height can also be screwed to the garage wall on the left, so that certainly does not pose a problem. For the remaining posts, however, I am dependent on mounting them on the L-stone. There are angled post holders for this.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any understandable information regarding wind load. Can you help me with that?

Here is a picture of the situation on site with the fence elements roughly sketched in:


The post holders look like this:


What do you think? More posts? Or is this okay?

Many thanks!

Just a different question, are you even allowed to build such a tall privacy fence?

Yes, it is customary here and the neighbor's consent is also given.

Depending on the direction, you still cast quite a shadow on him there. I also wouldn’t like to look at those ugly plastic strips myself. If the fence is also supposed to serve as a fall protection, I would design it only 80cm high and open, with a hedge in front; there are also narrow, tall varieties. Then wind load is not an issue and it is a much nicer solution for both sides.

Thank you for your suggestion - however, having a privacy screen here is no longer negotiable, ultimately it is not just about privacy but also about wind protection. Do you have any information for me regarding wind load?

Hm... I think it is difficult to get a reasonable statement there. Where is the wind coming from in the picture? (usually from the west) If it’s basically pushing towards the neighbor, that could already be a problem. You have a considerable surface area and also quite a lever due to the 1.5m high L-stones. The other way around should look better. Have you asked the manufacturer of the L-stones?
