Gap between the garage and boundary fence?

Any suggestions for closing the small gap between the garage and boundary fence, in a way it looks good overall and  prevents animals from getting trapped there? Thank you.

Hi @hazel9988 

I was just thinking of a contoured wooden plank attached to the fence.

But is there a specific look you're after?

That is an amazingly small gap - same gap on the other side? Too small for a human?

Cheers.

Hello Noyade,

Thanks for your response and suggestion.

We built up to the boundary with a 200mm gap, as required by the council—funny rule, but it’s only on one side. The other side has a wider space, so we don’t plan on doing anything there.

Since it’s a rental, we’re unsure whether to close the gap for better aesthetics and easier maintenance. My husband initially thought of using a paling to close it, but I’m unsure how it would look or if it might appear awkward with just one there.

Your suggestion of a contoured wooden plank might actually work better and look nicer.
