Having never had a quote for fencing before I wanted to run this past someone to ensure that it sounds realistic.
Overall the fence is about 27-28ft over 2 levels. I'm wanting wooden posts rather than concrete posts.
The quote is as follows :-
To remove existing metal fencing and gate by means of skip and replace with heavy duty waney lap panels (dark brown) with heavy duty trellis on top of panels which will be 1ft in height mounted on wooden posts.
- The fencing on lower level (19ft) to finish at 5ft height including trellis.
- Fencing on upper level (9ft) to finish at 6ft height including trellis including gate to be constructed from fence panel using timber frame on rear side to strengthen panel and to mount trellis on top of gate to match fencing.
for the above work to be carried out including materials an small skip will cost £590.00
