Do you know the price of 1 fence panel, which is 3metres + high?

and also for one 3.6 metres high?


I am just looking for price ranges, of 1 panel of 3metres and 3.6m.

Most of the sites I have seen are just 1.8metres high, max.


even 2.4 metres high would be fine.


EDIT- I will apply for Planning permission for this.

    3 metres is very high for a fence panel and I would think not the kind of size you could buy off the shelf.

    You won't get one OTS and in any event you'll be needing PP for a fence that high.

    2m is the maximum height for a fence (or 1 metre if the fence is next to a public pavement/road).

    Have you thought about growing a hedge - much cheaper and you can grow it to 3 metre without restrictions.

    That is incredibly high. Also, the post would have to be probably 4.5metres, maybe bigger so that it doesn't buckle under the imposed loading.

    you would need some extra stays too. regular posts alone wouldnt be enough to hold that size panel in any strong wind.
    unless the posts were very large/strong.
    you might want to think this whole idea through again. unless you have a lot more money than me.

    You're looking at a highway fence for something that size, they're not cheap (in excess of £150/panel). As mentioned above anything above 2m needs planning permission. I would however say that, subject to having PP, you would be significantly better off building the fence with posts, arris rails and boarding fixed to it.

    or to get 2.4 metre fence, how about this

    how about 2 x 1.2 metre high fence panels...

    with one being on TOP of the other.

    2 x 1.2 = 2.4 metres

    To be honest, forever and a day, that will look like two panels one on top of another. Out of interest, why do you require such a high fence? You could go down the 1.8m fence with a trellis attached to the top to take it up to 2m and then let nature take its course?
