6ft fence around three sides of garden

Hello everyone,

I have a quote for £4,000 to put a new 6ft fence with concrete posts around my 65ft garden on three sides (long story as to why we have to do all of them!) I think the measurements are:

65 x 25 x 85 ft

Does that sound right?
:o Trying to become debt free but this site makes me spend a fortune!!! :o

    I think its a bit pricey. however, if there is an old fence an concrete to dig out then there is quite a lot of work. Its difficult to give an accurate price 'cos there are variables.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    if your having closeboard fencing with concrete post and concrete gravel board your looking at about £85 per 3 metre run of fencing

    just concrete post wooden closeboard and gravel about £65 PER 3 METRE RUN

    all wood is about £45 per 3 metre run

    theres vat and the labour on top
    where abouts in the country are you situated
