I have a neighbour with a similar situation - a fence was installed to the boundary (6' posts bolted to the concrete), while it doesnt fall over it waves in the wind precariously, basically not enough support from the brackets.
Personally I'd be looking at a proper hedge - if pets are involved with a chain link fence in the middle - you can buy them ready grown now. Put "instant Hedging" into Google - mind you at this time of the year you would need to put in a weeping hose and timer to thouroughly water it daily to get it going.
How are you going to put a hedge down the centre of concrete steps?
ok.. I thought it was along the hedge line... in the middle of the steps i agree, my idea isnt going to work
Thanks for your response but we definetly want fencing instead of a hedge
A better picture would help, so we can see what's at the foot of the steps, and what happens to the boundary line at the top. To get posts in any depth you'd need a big hole which would make it very hard to do neatly. I would probably be thinking in terms of posts in the ground top and bottom and bolt-downs in between.
The boundary line runs down the centre of these steps so esstentially it will run from the gap between the window/patio door right down the steps to where the bin is on picture 2
What is the width of the steps (side to side)? They don't look very wide, and putting a fence in the middle might make the steps unusable for both parties. You could spend a lot of time and money doing this, only to have your neighbour legally forcing you to remove it.
Agree the steps are not wide enough to put a fence down the middle, how are you going to get anything past of any size with a fence down the middle? Can of worms !
If the fence has to go on top of the concrete steps I'd put up a continuous post and rail feather edge fence with the posts in holes cut through the concrete. (I hate using metpost supports) You won't need as many post holes as you would using panels as the spacings can be much further apart and it'll be much easier to make a neat job this way rather than cutting panels to fits the steps.
