Title: Fencing
Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, February 23, 2017, 11:48:49
So the fence separating mine and my neighbors houses is on the verge of coming down so im looking around for some quotes.
At the moment its just 2 (out of 4 panels that are a major concern) so we might get away with just replacing those but at the same time, it might be worth doing the whole lot.

I've spoken to the owner and we have some to an amicable agreement to split the cost, even through i think its her responsibility but i'm not a cunt.

The neighbour was quoted £450 for the full 4 panels and posts which seems quite steep. Is there anyone on here that is in the industry that could come have a look and give me "good price"?

Do not use Kudos Fencing. I asked them for a quote, and then kept pestering me. Quite literally ringing me every day, and even turned up at the house unexpected.

Bulldog Sheds & Fencing always do a good job for me. Not the cheapest, but reliable & good quality

Ram fencing for closeboard.  if you want panels then DIY, although they rarely last very long regardless of who erects them. Easy job to do though

We lost a panel this morning too. The neighbour says she'll sort it "when the weather's better" but that side of my garden adjoins another neighbour too so I'm going to replace the whole lot.

As Arriba says, closeboard/featherboard is the way to go. Lasts way longer. Relatively easy to DIY, as I did at my old place.

As of Lunchtime, the panels were still up, just leaning at about 35 degrees. They've been wobbling for a while now, ive just been putting it off as its an expense i could do without.

Can you dig a hole?
Can you use a saw?
Can you use a hammer and nail?

You can build a fence.

If you want it to last . . .  screw it.
