I have no fence on the yard border with my neighbour. It's 25m long, flat soil line where I would put a 1.8-2m tall fence. I want full privacy protection for a budget price (I don't live there). I would also like something I can diy as a non-diy guy (I work with electronics but no building experience). The cheapest option here is Europe is the thick wire panel fence, but I havent seen a way yet to make those completely private. I would dig holes and pour concrete into them to stabilize posts, as building a wall base is more expensive than the fence. What do? How difficult is pic related and what post distance for a windy area?

For 1/2 price get the neighbor to pay for 1/2.

Neighbour is a crazy deadbeat, won't get anything from him.

Humm. many such cases.

You could make a wall with free pallets then cover with chicken wire and stucco.

I would have trouble gathering 50 m2 of free pallets, desu. Location is a bit remote as well.

tin roofing screwed to whatever frame structure will be the best full privacy per cost

That's understandable. You might consider planting bushes, that's affordable and many can grow fast, even some rows of corn would do.

aesthetically that can look great sometimes.

Yeah, considering that as no. 1 option atm, but looking for suggestions: what post distance for the fence to be wind-proof? Is 2m too far apart? I thought about digging a 80cm, 30cm wide hole and filling it with concrete mixed with old brick, bit people tell me contradicting things: that such a hole is too big and the post distance is too much for 25m of 1.8m high fence.

here in burgerland its typical to use 4x4 wood posts on 8ft centers so 2m is probably fine

You can buy prefabricated fence - segments come in 2.5m lenght. The posts need to be anchored into concrete and i'm guessing you don't want to spend money or time pouring a footing , so you would need to either pour small concrete blocks yourself, or buy bricks,fillem up with cement and burry them.

Just get that thick, textured, coloured plastic slat fence stuff that slides into slotted concrete uprights. Doesn't cost that much and lasts for decades. Withstands wind. Worked for us, although we paid someone else to do it because that'd take me too long and its really a two man job.

Why do you think that's the cheapest option? Like another Anon said, plant a bunch of tall bush trees
Or build a fence out of limbs from a nearby forest (hopefully with permission)

Maximum post spacing for something like that at that height is 8ft (2.4m)OC for that kind of fence

Note that you need to account for equal spacing so you don't have an awkward ass short panel at the end. If you have a 25m run, you need (11) line posts spaced at 7.5ft (2.28m) OC PLUS (2) end posts

Wasn't it the French who came up with the metric system? Last time I was in the UK, bongs were still using lots of imperial units.
