    One important thing - is this your fence? If it belongs to the next door neighbour, you shouldn't attach anything to it.

    emiff, I know it's a while since you posted this but I am wondering is your fence over 1.5m? It looks higher but the link in argos says the screening is only 1.5m? My fence is 1.60m and then a tiny bit that is 1.8m. I would need somthing higher.
    Thanks

    It's Tomtom's picture, not mine, but the screening I put up was 1.8m (6 feet). It waved about 'cos it was attached to a wire fence, not a wooden one like Tomtom, and I've since had to cut it down to about 1.4 m or it would have come apart in the winds we had over winter.
    Got it from B&Q. It did provide privacy and looked attractive too, for a quick fix.
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?
