    Nice of you to keep us posted, if you ever do make up your mind to do the project yourself I recommend a hearty meal of Spam Fritters the night before as it can be quite hard work if you are not used to it.

    I look around to spot people doing a job so I can see how well they do it and ask for their number if it's good.
    And ask neighbours who they use.

    I got 2 panels with trellis and 2 posts for £150 plus the cost of materials. They bought from where they knew was best. Posts from builders merchants, panels from sawmills and bought them with them.
    When a panel needed adjusting they took it apart and adjusted. 

    I've had a concrete support put in for £98 by a self employed guy. Ex fencer left a firm because of injury.
    Same done by local garden centre £300  😮

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
