The look is good but I think you should make sure it is on your property. Even if your neighbor is nice it may be an issue when you or they want to sell the property. Most permits require it is on your property.

berries along the fence would be great but may I suggest a low raised bed about 3' from the fence to plant in? More air circulation for a hot climate and possibly less disease for the fruit leaves. Could use all that dirt for the bed. Air circulation here in Florida is a huge consideration for me when planting anything. It really is a beautiful fence.

Really cool fence Kevin! If the bowing bothers you you should probably fix it sooner - since the wood after a few seasons will set into its new shape, then you can remove the extra material that was keeping it straight. Also... do make sure to keep that tunnel between the house and fence as clean as possible. I can promise you from personal experience rats and all kinds of pests are going to find it heavenly :) Good luck man! I hope you get to do like "before and after" video of some property sections, at least once a year. So that both you and us can notice how much things have evolved!

My first thought was that building a fence that high would negatively affect the amount of effective sunlight for your plants and trees but, as usual, you are a few steps ahead and had already considered that. That's a nice fence system. I got a quote for something very similar here in Ontario, Canada last fall and it was nearly double for about 85 metres (about 275 ft) plus a gate- and using pine because cedar is just too expensive right now. So... no. We'll be getting something cheaper. If this was our "forever home", maybe. But it's not.
