solid wooden panels up to 2/3 height then trellis for the top 1/3.
A trellis top is great for security as you can't climb over it easily as it won't support the weight of a person, but that's a bit of a moot point if there's a 1m high fence either side of your garden.
I hate the idea of boxing myself in, and if you get on well with your neighbours then something that you can see through, but still gives you a bit of privacy, is a good thing.

For the end of the garden, I need a new fence. There just isn't one. The only thing stopping us from falling in the brook, or ne'erdowells from climbing in is a load of rubbish. One neighbour has wooden panels/concrete posts. The other has the same low metal railing you see up the side of our garden. Once cleared, I'm thinking of a halfway house of concrete posts, solid wooden panels up to 2/3 height then trellis for the top 1/3.

More for privacy/stopping unexpected toddler swimming than outright security. As if someone wants in, they'll get in.
Is this mad?
