    A lot of what the OP mentioned doesn't make sense to me.

    6 x 3 panels and 6 x 5 panels?

    4 x 2 rails on top of the concrete posts ?

    OP needs to clarify a lot before we can give a proper opinion.

    Hi

    the 6 panels are to be slotted into existing concrete posts. 6ft wide, 3.x ft high, custom made as the height can't be bought pre made,closeboard type panels 

    The other 4 are what I think are called arris rail bays, concrete posts with holes at top and bottom that rails fit into, then boards attached to the rails

    Thanks.

    Here is a link to 6 x 3 fence panels.

    They aren't custom made.

    Thanks

    The fencer will be providing the panels and materials needed, no charge for slotting them in place.

    What do people think of the quotes, seems very high, although it has been nearly 15 years since they were last done. No idea what it cost then.
