a house questiion - privacy fencing - what would u suggest

[dman]

hi tuners i need some assistance re a situation i have

i built my house and am quite happy with it unfortunately when i was fencing i opted to go with walls around the back to give my family privacy when we have get togethers

the sides are chain link not the normal kind i special ordered it beacuse i own pitbulls and the front i have concrete and iron work

the sad part is i have a neibour who dosent care about anything keeps her place in a dirty state etc when she has a wackerman cut her grass they dirty up to my under ceiling which is 2 story's high my whole house becomes a wash of mud and if we are lucky to be home it takes us about an hour to wash it off if not and it dries longer

i have spoken to them repeatedly but all they do is cut it when we are not home plus they have a heap of gravel and she wants them to cut the grass on that and sends stones at my vehicles etc

i can fully understand now who acts of violence can be committed at such minor things 3yrs is 36mths of aggravation

i am looking for a cheap but strong way to seal off the chainlink sides which are 50ft each appox

my options so far

concrete blocks

clay blocks

roof sheeting

any other suggestions?

i know some tuners would find this stupid - i use to be hasty and am trying for a better lifestyle

My recommendation is a Concrete block wall with proper foundation might cost but it will last

[Rainman]

Wall around the main compound, moat around the premises filled with gators, snipers on north and south towers and landmines.


On a serious note, it's going to look rather ugly using anything to "cover" the chainlink fence.

[Ted_v2]

wall it with concrete blocks also put sum barb wire at top

[Ignorant Ignis]

concrete block wall if u not planning on plastering
if u wanna plaster ... then clay is the cheaper alternative

[Ignorant Ignis]

^^^^ no ... the allan block system depends of the weight of each block structurally
48lbs each

Not really. There is a product called "Chain link Fence Weave". There is an old example of it (or a similar product) on the southern side of the Lady Chancellor hill on a perimeter fence for a guest house ("Alicia's Palace", I think), although they installed the product horizontally instead, allowing for more light/air/macco-vision to pass through.

Converts chain link fencing fabric to a privacy fence. Each 250' roll covers 40 sq. ft. and is diagonally installed. Made of flexible polyethylene extrusion.

concrete blocks FTW,easy to flush point and paint afterwards,lasts long and you could consider razon wire,or barb wire or break up so bottle and put it on top( security reasons) depending on area where u live,ah doh find it so attractive though.

plant some trees and make it into a hedge...not an immediate fix but will make the garden look better than that plastic stuff and you may get some unexpected wildlife there.

Use clay blocks, plaster your side, leave the unplastered ugly side towards them,lol.

If you use the sheeting, that might cause noise with dogs/ppl banging against it.

[dman]

thanks fellas - looking at getting estimates

[xeon]

Privacy Slats/Inserts..... Not sure who sells them locally. Saw them being used in the US and when done neatly it looks quite decent.

Put the wall at the end of your property line and let them watch a bare concrete wall.
