I've heard that Ponga Fences' will thrive in shady conditions, but if you put them in the sun, you have to water it every few days for a few months so that the roots take hold. I hope you ended up doing it and your Ponga Fence is thriving!

Unfortunately it is also a requirement in the CCC District plan restricting ones fence height being over 1.8m. There are also stipulations about visibility of no more than 50% through the fencing so most home owners opt for the cheap solid timber fence. It is rather frustrating when we design these beautiful homes and the client has no regard for landscaping and the house is subsequently 'blocked from view.' Perhaps a little more client education would go along way for us to push some great landscaping designs and make more of a house on a section.
