I've just located a few piccies on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/141159769545990100/
quick bit or research looks like planting every 2-3 m depending on plant size but i would think 2.5 would be furthest apart for a good screen at that size
-- are you aiming to do all the pleaching yourself from basically an unpleached beech tree ? im guessing finding 'half' pleeched trees is going to difficult
so im guessing you are looking for approx 4 m straight stemmed rootballed plants - available from late october to april generally speaking
imagine you can get them for £75-120 each depending on quality ? Im guessing a lot of good nurseries can get these for you but you probably need photos or see them first to see if they suit you ?
i reckon you can get properly pleached trees you want for around £400 each maybe less if you shop around ?
Id imagine the pleaching will take four years to look good ? wouldnt they be best just stumping up and saving the time ?
only one job where I cut pleached limes 2 rows of 4 and about 8 ft. apart with about the same head as you want with a 2 ft. gap between them do not know where you will get them from in Norfolk
tom -- im not sure about norfolk, but most large rootballed beech are imported from italy and europe, most good nurseries will have import contacts for such things
guess it will have to be an internet search - if you fall short i know one or two more down south that deal with such trees but no idea of transport costs
seagravenurseries in leciester deals with such plants but i have no idea on quality service etc
, - a three and a half metre beech tree could have branches two meters wide in all directions , thats a lot of transport space , a huge amount of precision pruning
you could also try contacting the better garden designers / landscape architects in your county
the better ones would certainly be using suppliers handling such things
