Wall from 1.8 to 2 metres
It is the standard height for a house wall: at 2 m nobody can see in. It uses a 2800 mm post, from 33 €/unit. The 2.00 m is made up with four 500 mm courses; the 1.80 m with three of 500 mm plus one of 300 mm. It is the most requested height for a house wall.
How this height is built
A 2 m segment: two posts and the layers of panel that fit between them. Drawing to scale, with the real measurements.

- Material, postfrom 33 €/unit
- Installation59–79 €/linear m
The courses are independent and slot into the grooves in the posts. The post is concreted into a hole measuring 300 × 300 × 800 mm, with 800 mm buried — the minimum is 700 mm — and it is that burial depth that gives the whole segment its wind resistance. On sloping ground the wall follows the level in panel steps.

When this height is the right one
It makes sense if…
- total privacy from the street and from neighbours;
- the property faces a road with traffic or noise;
- want to cut the wind in the garden;
- security is one of the reasons for the wall;
- gives you the height that most municipalities accept without a special procedure.
Choose another height if…
- the municipal council limits the height to below that;
- does not want to lose the view;
- the wall divides two yards and 1.5 m does the job with half a panel.
The three heights use the same panel and the same texture — what changes is the post and the number of courses. See the other heights →
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the height along the wall?
Yes. Each 2 m segment is independent, so the wall can rise at the front and drop at the bottom of the plot. The post has to be the one for the maximum height of the section.
Do I need a licence for this height?
It depends on the municipality, the height, the position relative to the public road and the local PDM. Check with the municipal council of your municipality; if you need it, we provide the measurements and the drawing of the wall to support the application.
Does installation cost more on a taller wall?
Installation is charged by linear metre of wall — 59 to 79 €/linear m — and the work is in the holes and the posts, whose number depends on the length and not on the height. What goes up with height is the material.
And if the plot is on a slope?
The wall follows the level in panel steps. Intermediate heights are resolved by combining 500 mm courses with 300 mm courses.
