    Hi, I need to some help, I wanted to put up fence along my neighbours driveway, as there driveway is higher than mine and always looking in to our house, Can i put up 2m fence from there level or would it have to be from my ground level - The fence in the photos is there and is at 1.8m they don't want to move it up- 
    Why do you want a taller fence, it will only reduce yours and your neighbours light?
    I guess you would want it on the other side too, seems pointless to me.

    The OP's house is the left one.

    The fence looks like it's on their side, perhaps it's not. They will only get prying eyes when they are getting in/out of the car.

    There's fences, and there's screening with plants.
