mav, and you have a pool with slide!! not many can say that. lol



we have a large garden with the place we've just bought. Its all been neglected by the guy who we bought it off and its costing us to get it right. the house is ok, but inside is cr*p and TBH, I'd knock it down and start again with the house buy my wife doesn't want that to happen... also I we can't afford it! lol
but an extension is on the cards at the back to make the place more 2007 than 1907 (the place was build in 1911 and I don't think much has been done to it since 1983)

Yeah mine would be about a grand to pay someone to do + about 500-600 for materials from a wood merchant. Thats why im planning on doiing the lot myself & buying untreated timber straight off the boats in the local dock(I have a contact there says I can get all I need for £50) looks like my summers going to be fun :|

My mates a landscape gardener and I asked him how much a decent fence would cost, he said 1 fence would cost around £20 and about the same for a concrete post.
I asked as I need a new fence as the fecking wind has blown it down :lol:


trust me, its not a lot for whats being done.

it works out approx £65 per fence/concrete posts/concrete base and the fitting.............................. so that matches your mate with his approx price £20 per fence +£20 posts etc + fitting it

all the fencing will be fitted in two days max with three guys doing it!

winner :)

we having the hole jobby dne, but th panels come pre dipped, but thats stuffs not brill and long term won't last long.
painting it with AirLess spray gun.. as long as weather ok this weekend. Doing both sides 2 coats, (got a 4x 9litre tubs for now from B&Q in bark Brown)
painting befpre they go in as once in you won't get them out very easy with the trees all over the top.

we've got 15 panels (5foot tall) and all concrete posts and base boards that (are 1foot hight) giving total 6' fence.

the fence fitted is just under a £1k
well worth i as I wouldn't want to dig the holes and mix the stuff to fit them, line them up.... especially where our fence is going!!! lol

not sure what ence panels cost it all depends on the quality of the fence. some are dead cheap but won't last 5mins.
