Renovations & DIY
Q Our back __garden is reached by steps and the grass held in place by a 4ft-high brick wall, running the width of the garden.
We have four small grandchildren who could easily fall off the end of the garden, with a 4ft drop onto a concrete patio.
People have suggested putting a picket fence along the edge of the garden, but we wondered if there was something we could put up that was secure but not a permanent structure. Or can you suggest any other kind of fence protection?

A Due to the nature of what you are trying to achieve, I think most options will be of a permanent or semi-permanent nature.
As I am sure you would agree, we don’t want to be taking any chances when it comes to the children’s safety, so it’s important to ensure the solution will last and has no chance of failing.
Other possible types of fencing to consider would be pre-assembled fence...
