As above, corrogated iron set into frames like you would trellis. You could use 1.8m sheets vertically which you could get cheaply from a roofing supplier.

Thanks for ideas but where the hell does one get used iron these days.---Scarse as hens teeth. It would be too costly to use new so who is replacing their roof please.

Ring up some roofing companies and ask them if you can swap some old sheets off a house they are reroofing for a box of beers. Otherwise ring the local scrap metal dealer and ask if anyone has dropped off any roofing iron. The buy price for steel is calculated by the ton. Therefore they won't charge you much to buy some from them.

What do people usually do with old roofing if putting a new roof on themselves!

There is certainly demand for it. Sold approx 16 sheets a couple of months ago for nearly $300. I have some more to list but won't be until after the 7th

You could try to contact Onduline to check for price, its an "Organic corrugated' often used on fences and has got good sound proprieties.
But remember that a continuous solid fence without gaps for the wind to pass through, will require very strong posts.
Also, how much privacy do you want from the fence! more than pickets, for example!

Don't forget, if it is a common boundary with a neighbour and the new fence is needed, your neighbour is responsible for half of the full costs.If you are unaware of this, then it will allow you to build a more expensive structure than you have previously considered.Just follow the correct protocol. http://www.consumerbuild.org.nz/publish/legal/legal-other-pimsfencing.php
Also, if you just go ahead and the neighbour does not like it, they can get an order for it's destruction on the grounds that there was no agreement in writing.
Even if you want to pay for all of it, and the neighbour agrees and lets you do that, AND they do not care what it is made of and what it looks like, you should still have their agreement in writing for your own protection.If they change their minds in a year you will be very much out of pocket.
