I am about to erect a replacement wooden fence (as soon as it arives, in a
week or so). It's going onto an existing concrete base (driveway) so I
think I'll be using bolt-down metposts or similar. The curved-top fence
panels are 3 feet high at the ends and 4 feet high in the centre and the
total run is 18 feet, 3 panels. I know I should use rawlbolts or similar
but what size? The metpost leaflet just says M8X10mm, no indication of the
length of the bolt.

Er, doesn't the x10mm bit indicate the length of the bolt? M8 means
8mm diameter, x10mm means 10mm long.


Also, although I am a bit "iffy" about using Screwfix
at the moment (series of upcocks on their part) would their "sheild anchors"
do the job, they seem a lot cheaper than rawlbolts.

Grateful for any advice

Bob
