how high can my fence go

[lam143]

how high can i put up a fence in my garden, when the kid next door has a 10ft trampoline

I.m afraid its only 6ft for a fence, but you could plant leylandii's and let them grow as tall as you like within reason. I bought some that were already 6ft, very heavy to deal with and very expensive, but the following year they had grown a foot or two and bushed out. the following year I cut the tops at about 8ft 6in. much better than a fence.

No doubt the novelty of the trampoline will soon wear off -these things usually do

I think the legal height for a fence is 6 feet but if you're concerned about privacy I suppose there's nothing stopping you erecting a separate screen made of woven willow, or even close woven green netting material which is used as a garden windbreak, which you can't see through, nailed between two stout posts which start at the height your fence stops and goes up to ten feet.,. That way you you could will get some privacy while the trampoline is in situ, but can remove the screen when the trampoline has run its course, without damaging your fence..
