Theres a corner of my back garden which is overlooked. I have been considering if it is possible to remedy this. I would need to raise the height of the wall by about a metre around a corner of the garden
Are there any issues with planning permission I should be aware of ? Raising it by 2 metres would not impact upon the lighting etc of my neighbours in any way and might in fact improve their security as well as my own but close to a metre would be ideal.
I was considering perhaps drilling into the brick back yard wall and placing wooden batons onto it and then fixing wooden fencing panels onto the batons. Can anyone provide advice concerning DIY pitfalls/legal issues etc ? Are wooden batons/fencing panels a good idea in a damp climate such as Irelands particularly as I would be unable to paint or varnish them on the neighbours side without some difficulty but perhaps they could be unscrewed for this ? Also batons might take up extra space on my side of the wall. Are there any other options ? Can someone recommend the type of panels I should get or help me consider what my choices are?
