Whacky closeboard fence idea?

[roganty]

I'm currently contemplating replacing my old fence with a new closeboard fence.

I'm looking at 4' height, with 1' trellis on top. All bog standard.

But the other day I had the mad thought of ditching the trellis, and instead have every other slat 5' tall instead.

Am I crazy?


Btw, I haven't run this past SWMBO yet, so please don't tell her

Guy across the road from me did it every third slat, frankly it looks weird like a kiddies fort or castle.

Well that's a vote against!
Any chance of a photo so I can visualise what it looks likes. I just cannot find anything on Google!

I've seen every other slat done and it looks fine.

Sorry the guy has moved I don't know the new people I'm afraid

Thanks for the 'for' vote, but I don't think that argument is going to swing SWMBO

Never mind, thanks anyway!

I should have mentioned that this is in the back garden - so I'm allowed up to 2m (6'6'')
