Hello.

We are going to build a fence. The fence will be attached partly to the left side of our house wall and then to 95*95 posts that are anchored in concrete bases that are 70 cm long. Now to our question. The right part of the fence (a total of 1.5 meters) rests on two of these concrete bases. Since we are not allowed to attach the fence to the neighbor's house, about 0.7 meters of the fence will "hang beyond" the bases.

We are wondering how we can make it stable here. Do you think it can hang like that? Or should we take a 95*95 post and let it stand on something like a ground slab by the neighbor's wall and then attach the fence to it? We can't dig down a base closer as the neighbor's house foundation is there (as seen in the picture).

The fence is 180 cm long and is built with wood that is 28 mm deep. It will take some wind but will not be completely covering.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!
 
  • Concrete footings on gravel ground between two wooden walls, with a wheelbarrow and unused building materials nearby.
Set a diagonal horizontally from the outer part of the plank to your own wall, it helps to withstand when the wind picks up.

You mean something like this? We were thinking of using three studs (in red) that run along the fence. But should we also place studs diagonally with the green ones?

Attach a diagonal high on the pole that is farthest from your wall and let the brace to the wall go horizontally.

I still don't really understand your thinking. The fence we are building will be two parts since we have a door in between. The red part is where we originally planned to place the studs. Is it too much to ask for a small sketch of what you are thinking?
 
  • Sketch of a gate in a fence plan, showing the intended positioning of red horizontal beams and green diagonal supports, with "Door" marked in between.
Place a brace from the bottom of the post closest to the door up to the upper corner nearest the neighbor.
The brace lifts and should therefore be positioned to counteract gravity.
Think the same way when making the door, i.e., low on the hinge side and upwards to the other side.

Two shorter braces like your green ones with the correct direction will also work.
 
Great, thanks! Do you think it's enough to create stability so that the outer part can "hang outside," so to speak?
 
It depends on the dimensions, both on the aspiration and the rest of the fence and more precise construction. I know how I would do it, but I don't have enough experience to advise others.
Post a drawing with material selections and probably someone else can respond.
 
Then the drawing below applies.

The black posts are 95*95 mm and around 180 cm long (set in concrete plinths which are 70 cm).

The stays/joists (the red ones) are 45*95 mm.

The plank itself is made of exterior paneling which is 22 mm thick, 180 cm long and varying widths that we alternate (70, 95, and 120 cm).
