fencing questions
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:39 pm
Hi,
I am planning to put in some fencing in my garden. My only knowledge is there are two types of fencing materials: panels are cheaper, closeboards are more expensive.
Now I've got some quotes in. For 5 panels, all other contractors quote closeboard fencing about 200 - 300 quids more than the panel fencing. But one contractor quotes 450 quids more expensive.
I am now confused. Is there another type of panel which is cheaper than normal "panels", or is the closeboard panel a type more expensive than ordinary "closeboards"?
Anyone out here can give me some expert advice?
Also, I would like to know if there are various types of posts? Is timber post good enough for garden fencing?
Thanks for any help
