    Our house looks onto a grassy public park.

    I'd like to replace our 6-foot tall brick wall, with a fence that lets us have a view, but still gives us a degree of privacy and security.

    Any suggestions?

    Regards,
    Ian

    How about solid fence panels to a certain height with trellis across the top...so you can't be seen sitting but can see out if you are standing

    Yes, I agree. Consider going for a 2 metre high fence with 6 inch tall gravelboards, 4 ft feather boards or panels and 2 ft trellis (high density approx 3'' x 3'' squares). Go for 6 ft length bays and make sure your posts are no less than 4'' x 4'' size timber and atleast 2 ft in the ground.
