in Credit cards
I need to replace my fence - it's on its way out.
Could I use a 0% card for purchases to do this?

Yes...
How much will it cost to replace the fence?0 -
About £1000 for a 50ft by 6ft.0

LOL I read the title and thought surely a credit card would not be big enough to replace a fence you would need hundreds nay thousands of the bleeders and then I bet at the first gust of wind would blow them all down.0

Is that what you think it will cost or a definite quote? It seems a bit on the high side although it would depend on what type of fence it is and where in the country you are.
I had a 60' x 5' fence (panels) supplied and fitted about 4 years ago for just under £400.0 -

You could probably buy fencing materials using your credit card.
But it's less likely that a fencing contractor would accept payment by credit card.
In my experience, the types of building/property maintenance firms that accept credit cards tend to be much more expensive than good local tradesmen (who don't generally accept credit cards).0 -

I like to pay cash for this sort of thing. You can often get a discount for doing so.0 -
So long as all concerned accept credit cards then yes you can.0

A lot of independent tradesmen aren't registered for VAT.0

What you could do (what I do)
Get your 0% credit card and spend it on stuff like the weekly shop, fuel ect. Put the money to 1 side, buy any materials you might need on your credit card and use the money you have put to 1 side to pay the tradesmen. That way, one way or an other, it's paid for on the card at 0%.0
