    Yes 10-15 years is what I give wooden fences. They don't make 'em like they used to!!!

    South. Earlier in the year I had two concrete posts sunk and 10' of close board fencing with a wooden bottom plank + a new gate with a lock on it, cost me about £450, from memory.

    They did it on a Saturday morning.

    From memory it was 3 blokes for about 3 hours or so (might have been longer, I thought they'd never f*** off). It was a proper/local/20-years established family firm of fencing company.

    They had to remove the old fence and 2 posts, dig out holes and place the new posts in place, make the concrete and tip it in... then do the three horizontals bars and fit all the feather-edge. Then they fitted a lock to the gate and hung the gate. Tidied up and removed all the old fence wooding and the old gate.
