Glenn Medeiros Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Getting sick to death with unwanted intruders, and I've had a 7 foot main gate installed. Round the front I have a 9 foot Leylandii but its a hell of work keeping on top of it, and I'm getting older. The sides and back are fenced, but its basic work and I have great problems with deer and occasionally snakes. Would it be cheaper to built a proper fence or a decent wall round my garden ?

StreetwiseHercules Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm getting a quote tomorrow for landscaping and fencing and I'm dreading it. Going to be eye watering. It's a big space in a rural area so I need to make it secure so that the dug can't go wandering. In the past I have always found that the answer is 5ft stock fencing and a cattle grid. Doing that again this time. For snakes, there's nothing you can really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance I'll be doing any work this time round as I'm past it physically at the minute and my children live elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDcups Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I have a miniature version of the Western front. It stretches from the garage at the bottom of the backgarden to the drive at the front. 50M of razor wire 25 landmines and a badger protect my land from any invasions from the wee girl next door.

Gaz FFC Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My fence blew down in the February storm. It's only 8 feet wide but my garden is now open plan. I don't have a snake problem but my dog seems to think it's hilarious to go out the back door and come in the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you considering rebuilding the fence or are you looking at a wall / hedge alternative ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the 2 fence posts gave up but the fence is still 1 full bit. I've bought 2 new fence posts which I will sink when I can be arsed and nail the old fence back to that. Will confuse the dog and kill her fun but need must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Would you get the planning permission to erect a wall? Your neighbours seem the type to tip off the council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point Bobby, it's something I've not really thought about as my house only overviews a house in the distance to the west. It's such a thoughtful post - I'm making you my poster of the week and giving you a plus one, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
