    what if i had perspex strapped to the fence this would prevent any feet getting a hold on the deck, do you think this would be a suitable solutiion ?

    That's what Dr - 307 was suggesting when he said "line the inside of the fence with a polycarb palstic (that way you won't lose the view) so it stops feet from being able to poke through and step onto the deck". Polycarbonate is a clear plastic sheet, similar to perspex (which is a product name for acrylic plastic). I think it needs a special coating to make it resistant to UV. It will go whitish after awhile.

    It's not exactly the budget option though.
