Funky Fencing in Scotland?

I'm looking for one panel of fancy fencing to hide the bin area in our small garden. I sourced some lovely squiggly stuff called Funky Fencing from a company in Blackpool. The carriage costs are huge, however. Does anyone know of anywhere I could buy something similar nearer home?

    Scotland is a big place, care to narrow it down?

    Looks good.

    How much do they charge to deliver?

    Why not ask someone with a jigsaw to make a panel for you?

    Looks pretty simple to do!;)

  • It would be about £150 for the carriage....more than the panel.
    It's great, isnt it? we're so unpractical we didn't think of finding someone with a jig saw!
    I think there's a place in the market here for someone to do that kind of fence.
  • Does anybody know of a joiner in the Glasgow area who could make a panel of the funky squiggly fencing. https://www.funkyfencing.co.uk shows how it looks.

    Have you considered if it would be worthwile hiring a van & driving down to collect. Blackpools only a couple of hours dwon from glasgow
  • Did consider doing that but dont know if a panel 8ft long would fit in a transit. i wouldnt be confident driving anything bigger.

    There are some companies who will give you a quote for delivering items anywhere in the UK.

    I used http://www.shiply.com who gave me three quotes for a sofa I wanted to buy on ebay that was in England and I wanted it delivered in Scotland.

    I ended up buying a sofa from a shop but you could try them and see how much they charge.
