But I'm incapable
Where are you?
If in Sydney I can recommend a very good carpenter who does great work at a fair price.
I live in the eastern suburbs too so everyone rips me off here he was about 1/3 of other quotes Shannon 0422 883 532 tell him big rick sent you.
I think they are in Melb (after clicking on their name)
Thanks mate for your help.
I'm in South Eastern Melbourne..
Be careful! I'm in the same area and had a fence done last year (will find the details tonight when I get home). There are a LOT of dodgy fence builders in the SE of Melbourne, we had no problem but heard a great number of horror stories from other people, and read more online. Seems to be the world's capital of dodgy fence builders!
Anyway, will post the guys we used tonight (we had no problems with them; they built a good fence, were reasonably priced, and finished in a couple of days)
We decided to put in a colourbond fence down one side. But it's not ugly, it looks really cool because it's MiniOrb (the fine ripple). The hard part was a continuous reinforced, concrete-filled and rendered besser block base along the full length.
We are on solid rock, so the posts needed to sit on rather than "in" the ground, and it's sloping the entire way down the side (about 70 metres. The wall acts as a retaining wall to deal with the difference in levels between the 2 properties. PLUS I didn't want it "stepped" (which looks really crap) - so every panel (hundreds of them) is cut on a bevel at top and bottom.
Couldn't get ANY fence builder to even quote on it, in the end we had to do it ourselves. Took well over a year to complete it :-( Looks great, but geeze I hated it at the time.
cheapest is yourself :)
