It is soon time for a new fence. The current fence is 5ft high, but I want to make it 6 ft. high for more privacy. The fence is attached to metal poles that are affixed into a cement base that runs along the back of my yard. So, changing the poles is going to be highly expensive. I would like to re-use the existing poles but I am wondering if I can. The poles are 46" high (just 2" shy of 4 feet). The current fence is 5 feet. Do you think they'll properly support the fence if I go with a 6 foot fence? I can't see why not, but I'm no expert so I ask the collective brain trust of CP in hopes that a fencing guru will be able to help me out.
