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.
I'm not going to be fencing off the sides, just the end that leads to the river/park. There are many other houses along the brook that have nothing at all. If anyone was looking for an easy garden to access, it won't be ours.
