we don't have a doberman to contend with, thank goodness , just an old cocker spaniel over the fence, but I think our neighbours are also renting, so I will need to speak with their landlord I'm afraid either our kids or theirs will hurt themselves on this fence. Their kids are always climbing up onto it to hang over and talk to our kids. Our dog gets through the gaps into their yard

I'd always hoped when the old couple who used to live there sold up, they'd knock it all down and build 3 units and put up a huge new fence for us, otherwise we'd never have left it this long

Yeah, I think fences tend to be one of those things that constantly get pushed down the priority list.

I'd like to say 'to hell with it' and get someone in to do the whole thing. But then $ is the issue.

Anyway, what fence?

like which kind?
standard paling

Not sure? Haven't decided. We got a fence replaced when we first moved in (about 3 years ago) and it's already looking pretty crusty.

TBH I haven't really looked into the options. I do know I'm not really a fan of those metallic type deals. They probably last an age, but.....

like colourbond
we better start a fence thread

Yeah, not a fan @ all.

I have this argument with Dad repeatedly. If it were up to him, he'd have all his fences built into a colourbond bio-dome. He's in love with the stuff.

oh my god!!!



my dad is crazy about shade cloth, and he once bought a can of army green paint, which unfortunately hasn't run out yet.

I don't mind a bit of shade cloth.

you remember the Jaidyn Leskie case?

my folks have a propertly up near Omeo and the Jaidyn's auntie moved in next door to them so my dad built a shadecloth construction for privacy on their balcony. It was called the "murder screen"!!!
