or jasmine or honeysuckle - they all grow relatively quickly (a couple of seasons) in full sun

Rickman - I just had 6 x 6 panels put up in my garden and they were only £12.50 a panel from Homebase!! 8' posts are only £4.50.

Think so! Don't know what you class as normal though. They are treated too, so all you have to do is paint them if you want to. They totally enclosed, no gaps, horizontal plank panels. HTH.

where i used to live, there was an alleyway that ran through the back, but anyone could use it so it was a public footpath, and the council put up silly mesh fencing, was agruing with them when we moved..

Ps Wickes do fairly cheap panels too I think.
