"ok.. I thought it was along the hedge line... in the middle of the steps i agree, my idea isnt going to work"
"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"
"Thanks for your response but we definetly want fencing instead of a hedge"
"Does this give you the view you need?"
"How are you going to put a hedge down the centre of concrete steps?"
"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…"

"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.

"Have a look at the Ego St1400. Cracking piece of kit with 2 power levels and variable trigger which is easy to hold at extra low speed. Well balanced with either 2.5Ah or 4.0Ah batteries. Can take 1.6mm up to 2.5mm "string"
