What are some suggestions for raising fence height?
Looking for suggestions on how to raise fence height between my house and body neighbors without replacing the six foot posts. I would like to increase height to nine feet would be ideal. The fence is mine and its located on my property line in my backyard. Any suggestions?

Hi Tori, like in the picture I've seen a lot of fences made taller using lattice.
Just check zoning. Our town has height restrictions.

Yes, check your local building codes. Many have fence height restrictions. Mine are six foot. If you can raise the fence make lattice panels and mount them on top of the fence.

I want to keep the creepy guy next door from being able to see thru the fence while me and my teenage daughter are using our backyard!
Lattice isn't an option as you can see thru it.
As you all can see, this is the issue I'm having wanting to raise fence height due to creepy, noisy neighbor looking into my backyard- no privacy from prying eyes!
