This was a fun project that I did at my friend Joe's house during the heat of summer.
In this video I show you how to build a timber privacy fence on top of a brick wall, there was actually two reasons why we needed to lift the height of the fence, 1. for pool compliance, and 2. to gain some privacy from the nosey neighbours.

This will look good on your side and your neighbours side too, it can be stained or painted to match any existing colour schemes that you have.
This 23 mtr timber fence topper was built from weather treated timber so it will last for years and years, and the total cost (not including any tools you may need) was $350 AUD (although it seems the cost of timber has increased recently)

Remember to check out your local legislation around pool fencing and don’t just copy what I’ve made here, each property and region will have different requirements.

Any questions, I’d love to help, and if you’re wondering about it - most likely someone else is too, so feel free to ask.
