want a new fence

No idea who owns the fence between us and neighbours but next door to us (semi) has a old fence the posts are bent and fence on its last legs probably only survive one more Winter and it looks very old and battered. We live on a hill so get some wind

We want to replace the fence, anyhow to brighten that space up put some plants nearby and level soil around fence

We would like something better than bog standard fence with concrete slotted post and those concrete things that go in soil to allow soil buildup and prevent rot.

Something like this HERE


I dont think it will take concrete posts though

I thought if concrete posts it would be more solid and we could also turn round the panels as neighbour hardly does any work on house. Not a untidy person as such but house needs painting garden rarely gets done etc

    It should slot into concrete posts, depending on the the depth of the panel. Feather edge panels look nice too.
    You will need panels 1 foot shorter than the overall height as the concrete gravel boards are 1 foot high.
    We live high on a hill and have ordinary panels and they've been fine tbh.
  • Never used these panels myself but they should fit in slotted concrete posts.Would also recommend gravel boards to stop the bottoms of the panels rotting.if they dont slot into concrete,use 4" timber posts and fit them with fencing clips and screws.They can then be turned round quite easily.
