    I didn't understand about the anti rodent mesh
    How would one do that?
    My garden bed has soil at bottom and it's part of the ground

    Jumping on this thread :-) if I used the concrete blocks or 6ft concrete boards in front of the fence, how would ypu attach them together?

    Do you have concrete fence posts? If you do, put the concrete gravel boards in under the wooden panels.

    No I have no posts but want to put something in front of our fence to protect it from the soil

    I think you'd need to concrete it into some kind of foundation, but someone else might have a better idea. Whatever, leave enough space for some airflow and to pull out weeds that will get into the gap.

    How is the fence constructed if there are no posts?
    If you want to prevent soil touching timber, it's best to line the timber with plastic of some kind. Pond liner is good, and relatively inexpensive, but it depends on the size of the area needing done. You can staple it on. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It's a 100ft fence with no posts on my side, maybe pond liner is best
