Replacing fence with hedge

Hi, I've got 7 fence panels down dur to the high winds and instead of getting them replaced I'm thinking of putting in a hedge.

Any suggestions for what hedging plants would be good
Also any idea if it would cost a lot more than replacing the fence panels/posts?

    A lot depends on whether you want to install an instant hedge or one that will grow with time; large plants cost a lot more and are more likely to fail than small ones.

    Also depends on your local soil and whether you want an everygreen hedge or deciduous.

    Evergreen probably limits you to privet and box; holly is harder to transplant.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
