ideas for high screening needed

Anyone have any good ideas on what I can use to screen above a 6' high fence.
Since I got a deck built, the fence just isn't high enough and neighbours can see right over.
I dont have alot of room at the bottom of the garden so large trees are out.
Photos would be good if anyone has any.

 

Clematis and pasion flowers or honeysuckle on aa trellis.Can you attach a trellis.Best of luck

 

Ideally you need some evergreen ones as well. There are autumn and winter flowering clematis, Armandii is one of my favourites, flowers now and perfumed as well!

 

I don't know if this is accurate but I heard on the radio that a fence that is over 6' tall needs planning permission. Has any one else heard of this? If it is true then a trellis on top may be out of the question. Sorry WOO just read your post a little more carefully, I seem to be repeating :confused: :rolleyes:

 

It is brick walls for sure, fences I don't think so........
we certainly around here have lots of over 6" fences, with no problems. This is mainly because we are so hilly. For example, the house behnd us is higher, so they have a really high fence to stop them seeing us!!!

 

Fences can be upto 2 meters high which is 6 foot six. A conversation I get bored of having with my neighbour. :rolleyes: People say six feet because they are usually sold in six foot heights. This allows a small 6 inch gravel board to be accomodated if you do it properly . If the measurement of ground to the top of your fence is only 6 foot you still have another six inches to play with. :D This could be a trelis fixed to the fence which rides up 6 inches higher than the top of the fence. I too had this problem when both my neighbour and I elected for raised patios.

 

Have you considered brushwood screening? You will need to construct a framework to attach it to, but it blends in nicely with the surroundings, allows air to pass through so isn't too vulnerable to wind damage and will also allow some climbing plants a foothold and some protection.
