Fencing

Can custom-size fence panels be made (at a low cost)?

Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 2.50 PM

I am looking for a quote for new fencing in the back garden, but the current fence has a couple of unusual sized panels (http://www.mybuilder.com/myjobs/job/364714/view), so I was wondering if the cost of the job would increase a lot due to the unusual size of a couple of fence panels? I hope this makes sense!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

substructure , the reason people are asking for things to be done cheap is because there is a bloody recession on and people dont have lots of spare cash to throw around unlike you obviously .

If you get an experienced fence contractor they will be able to cut down panels and make them look like they came that way, other options like arris and featheredge may also be a nicer option.

why does everyone want things done at low cost,you get what you pay for ,pay cheap pat twice,depends on style of fencing ,most fence panels come off the shelf starting from 12 pounds each ,if they have to be made by hand ie arris fencing this costs more in materials and time ,like i said you get what you pay for cheap tat '12 POUNDS THAT MIGHT LAST A COUPLE OF SUMMERS B4 WARPING ,OR BESPOKE ARRIS FENCING THAT WILL LAST MANY SUMMERS AND WINTERS

Any decent fencing company should be able to cut down panels to custom size. It’s very common on fence installations to have to cut at least one panel down. Rather than having them custom built to size it’s probably more cost effective for your fence installed to buy a full panel and cut down to required size on the install. It’s may just mean moving a couple of the panel batons and fitting to size with a circular saw. The other option is feather edge fence built on posts with either cant or Aris rails. This fence can suit any size as no panels will have to be cut.
