This first one is set a few feet from the property line and the wood supports lean on the smaller fence behind it. If there are restrictive fence height regulations where you live, this could be a good workaround. If you can make a fence out of it, you can make a fence topper out of it. So fence toppers or extensions may be made of wood, vinyl, wrought iron or powder-coated aluminum. They may be simple materials you can buy at a home improvement store and install DIY, or elaborate custom-made additions professionally installed. Here are some fence topper options:

Often fences are limited to 6 or perhaps 8-feet tall, but there are fewer restrictions for items on your property although you may need permits, particularly if the structure will be overhead. If your existing panels are in good condition and you don’t want to replace them there is another method that will allow Trellis to be fitted above. This method would involve attaching timber battens to the rear of your posts so they finish above the post at the height that you would like your trellis to finish at. Trellis can then be screwed to the front of these battens above your existing fencing. The trellis will be slightly offset towards the rear of the post using this method which can be alleviated (if required) by fastening plant on battens to the front of the timber uprights you have previously attached to the top of your posts then fitting your Trellis between these directly above the existing panels. But first, we needed to replace the old ones with new ones.

The Timber Post Extender is a sleeve that fits round the top of the existing Timber Post, allowing a new section of post to be fitted into the top of the extender which holds it securely in place. Once the new section of post is fitted you can screw your Trellis into the new section of post fitted in the extender.
