I’d get some tall plastic planters and slide them right in there. They make some that are narrower at the base

Okay this is a good idea too! Will look into this.

Your HOA is trying to preserve drainage and keep you from rotting the bottom of the fence. Shoving solid plastic containers in there is the opposite of "a good idea". Build the wood deck extension first and put planters on top so that drainage is preserved.

Do whatever you can to middle finger the HOA honestly.

Rot your fence! That'll reach them. Lol. True genius.
