Hey all, Im looking for advice on garden fencing. The lenght would be about
70m. Its the back garden and would enclose an area as a run for the dog.
We've been quoted 6500 Euro say about £5000 for picket fencing about 4'
high. This included one 12' gate and two 3' doorways. I would like to know
what you guys thought about this...Should I look at other options?? Any of
you have any ideas that would suit??..

Thanks in advance

Sounds a lot for picket fencing.

Last time I paid for fencing it was 6' closeboard fencing
and it worked out around £25+VAT per yard (no gates).
That would make your job not much more than £2k. I
would say that picket fencing ought to cost less.

You could DIY of course, but you need to have the time
(and a suitable nailgun I would imagine).

Most medium size dogs will have no problems clearing a 4 foot fence.

Hmm- that alarms me a bit. We've new neighbours and they've already
****ed me off ripping out the hedge between us and installing badly a
6ft high fence to keep two great danes in. Will it do so I now ask?
Rob

For comparison, let's say you were to make 70m of fence out of 6'x6'
larch-lap type panels. Each panel, post, etc. would cost you 25uk pounds
max and you'd need about 40 of them so that's 1000 pounds.

If carefully erected in a not too windy site, it will outlive the dog.

Probably, provided

(a) the dogs are well trained
(b) you don't leave any sausages unattended
