Pleached lime walk

Hello,
Am planting a lime walk from scratch. About 30m in length in total. Have bought bare root 1.5m small leaved lime.
Could anybody recommend an approximate planting distance between the limes.
Have put them in at about 80cm apart but this feels a bit too close together.
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
