Fence panels and picket fences - where to buy?

Hello.

I need some picket fence for the front garden (about 500mm high will do) and some fence panels for the back garden (1000mm high).

Where would be the best place to buy (price wise)?

Thanks

  • I've looked in Wickes, and other DIY places - but all see a tad expensive.

    I'll have a look in the local builders merchant later on.

    I had picket fencing made up for the front of my house. Made to measure from a local fencing suppliers. Quite inexpensive. Try yell.com for local fencing suppliers.

    Hiya

    We have just recently erected a 160ft long fence ourselves as it cost just over 25% of the professional quites we received.

    I shopped around lots and found that focus was the most economical for me. They have an offer on at the moment, buy 5 panels for the price of 4. I also had a 15% off card as well (the homemovers card, available if you have moved home in last 6 months). They also do a 10% over 60's card too, if that's useful info for you?

    I just bought a load of fence panels and timber posts from an online company http://www.allgardenproducts.co.uk/acatalog/Fence_panels.html
    They were the cheapest i could find and the panels are really good too
