Price of fence panels fitted to tarmac?

Hi

I live in a small terraced house and would like to fence off our back yard from our next door neighbours'. I just need simple standard size panels (probably 2 or 3 panels, each 6 feet high).

Our part of the yard is paved with tarmac, and the neighbours' part is concrete. Ideally to avoid disputes etc I just want all of the fence to be on our part, ie on tarmac.

I've no idea what fittings would be required. Would we need to dig into the tarmac? Presumably we cannot just rest some posts on top of the tarmac?

Any ideas what all of this would cost?

Thanks

    Your fence should be on the boundary, not over to either side. For a proper job the tarmac/concrete should be saw cut and dug up locally. The bolt down metposts aren't up to much.
    Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!

    easy way is to use the metposts holders, with a spike.
    basically you just drive them into the ground.
