Landscape Quote - I'm out of my depth - do these prices look reasonable?
Close board fencing ( feather
edge ) £3520
The fencing will be approximately 32 metres long. Dismantle and prepare the
area ready for the new fencing to be erected. Supply and fit new fencing as
we discussed. The new fencing will be 6ft high and will be made using
concrete posts with 3 Harris rails. The new fence will then have feather edge
boards fitted with a top capping. The fence will also have a timber which
runs along the bottom of the fence which protects all of the individual
feather edge boards from drawing moisture from the ground. PLEASE NOTE:
Knots,splits,shakes and some movement can occur which we cannot prevent. This
is not considered to be a defect of the timber as it is a natural product.
All of the timber that we use is all fully pressure treated which gives the
Timber a much longer lifespan.
