Hi there everyone,

I hope someone out here might be able to help me with this one.

I dont know if many of you have seen this type of fence before.

Ive added an example picture.

Has anyone ever built one, has any ideas, etc etc etc.

In in Redcliffe, QLD.

Thanks in advance.

Joshua,
a mate of mine built one around his house a while back, only difference he used aluminium panels in between the pillars (same as most pool fence panels).
he used besser blocks for the pillars, and the bit that runs along the ground between them, filled it all with concrete, and rendered the lot. the caps on top of the pillars i think he bought them from the besser block supplier.
once it was dried and painted, he dynabolted brackets to the pillars to hold the panels in place. looks really good, terracotta coloured pillars and black panels. he put an electric front gate in to match
