Hi all

One of my not-too-DIY posts - sorry.
I am about to invite quotes for the erection of a fence to 2 sides of my
back garden.
As the site is quite exposed I intend to specify conrete posts.
Q1 - what height of post would be recommended (ie how much post in the
ground)? - The fence will be 1800 high panels on top of 150 high gravel
board.
Q2 - what sort of labour cost would be expected? - There will be 12 panels
in all and one gate to be fitted (14 posts total).

The guy who did mine and the neighbours either side 4 years ago, (all fences
are concrete posts 1' gravel boards and 5' high 6' long Heavy Duty
weatherboard(?) panels) told me as a rule of thumb he worked on £50 a panel
installed and the old stuff removed, then again he had a big wood burning
stove/heater in his workshop so was glad of the scrap. I am in West
Yorkshire if that helps.

Chheers
