There s quite a good selection of ready made panels at the local garden centre so hopefully that wouldn t be a problem.
How to fix fence panels on top of a wall.
Measure and mark the 2 by 4 inch fencing rails for the section of fence that meets the wall.
Fit a capping rail to the top of the fence once posts are in position on top of the wall our panels fix neatly to the front of the posts using the special powder coated screws which are cedar coloured screws.
Digging out holes for fence posts.
Finally the capping rail can be fixed to the top of the fence.
My main issue is how to support the fence.
Browse the selected style below for just some examples of wall top fencing.
The existing stone wall is about 4 feet tall with a topping stone 5 thick on one side 4 on the other.
Cut the rails to length with a circular saw.
Drop the post in the hole and fix the panel to it by screwing them to the post using rust proof screws such as 55mm decking screws using special angle brackets you can buy for fixing fence panels to posts or simply screwing through the side of the fence panel into the post.
There are a variety of different methods of securing the fencing depending on the age and stability of the wall.
I m thinking about 6 feet tall on top of the wall.
Topping your existing wall with fencing is a great way to increase the height of a low wall for added security or privacy.
I have seem this done by people drilling down through those concrete copers that are everywhere or by buying or making a bracket which is screwed down to the copers highly bodgy or somehwat bodgy asking for ingress of water down the middle of the wall and require repair in under a decade.
Is there any wisdom on attaching fence panels to the top of a small wall for extra privacy.
