Its been an expensive month!!

• Tumble Dryer Broke, bought a new one.
• Car needed new tyre and new front brakes and pads.
• Both my side fences need repairing.
• Had to buy a new part for my dishwasher.

For the fence I am trying to fix it my self with a think called the post buddy!

I know its not as good as a proper repair, but it will hopefully add a few more years onto the fences before I can properly sort them out.

Concrete posts and gravel boards mate. It is the only way to go!

I know but i'm just thinking short term at the moment. 

I am 100% getting concrete when I get these repaired properly.

Concrete gravel boards are £10 and posts £15 by us. Heavy as fuck though! Need at least two to do it.

I don't know if' id have gravel boards. I like wood. I'd just try and go for the concrete posts keeping the original fence.

Wood panels rot sitting on floor. Gravel boards stop that.

Yes mate. If you can afford it and don't I would get plastic panels too. You have a fence for life then that is maintenance free and weatherproof.

I believe it was @superally who said he has plastic fencing or had experience of it?

Think yourself lucky. My garden is 15 panels long. I am responsible for both sides. 30 panels, 30 gravel boards. £££££££

Yeah they are not cheap I own my left and right. I think usually you go halves with your neighbour if you need to repair a fence.

My garden is 5 and a bit panels long.

My understanding is as you look at your garden you are responsible for the left side, but I live on end and have responsibility for both.

BB if you take half off your neighbours offer and he paints his side pink and it leaks through on your side then you have no grounds for complaint. If you own all the panel then you do.
