As a new rose gardener with 1 acre at my disposal, I am taking note of your clever garden structures Patricia. I have only 1.2m wire fences on all sides, and with this idea of yours I can build my own higher fences/rose support a metre in from the boundary and no need to fuss with neighbours over cost of colourbond fencing.

Clever? Gee.....Cass once called it a corral. But those wide spaces in the mesh allows you to easily prune when needed. Think carefully how you will manage that one metre. Will local laws permit you to build a fence that high?

I'll check with council first, but it's rural and neighbours don't use their backyards. 1m or 1.5 will be enough to get the ride on mower up there.

I'd go for 2m (at least), unless you want to keep trimming back and tying up...

sounds good yes. I already have a Peter Frankenfeld climber that tries to blind me everytime I come round the corner of the shed on the mower........
