What is the best fencing?

[selmanj]

We live in a semi-detached house and want to put in a fence and gate to the side the house. The area down the side of the house (approx 2.5m wide) is a wind tunnel and we are not sure which is the best / strongest type of fencing to use. Obviously we don't want to put something up that will be ripped apart by the wind. What is the best solution?

traditional closeboard, with 100 x 100 posts and morticed arris rails. No contest with anything else!

Or concrete posts which will not go rotten and annoy you by breaking off.

If you've got money to burn go with the closeboard but use oak, expensive but will outlast you & any concrete posts.
