We have two brand new 6X6 featheredge panels at the FILs which I will cut in half which will then slot in, that will save a few Bob.
Edit - looking at the timber posts already there, looks like they could be shortened and re-used (upside down), thus saving the planet a bit as well

Re: Up The Garden Path
One reason for doing this Dex is that that is next doors fence, our garden is higher than theirs. The reason they did not change these panels when they did the rest of the fence I think was that these panels are pretty inaccessible from their side and because of the foliage and trees, and, they are not visible to them either, it would cause great disturbance to meddle with them.06-07-2020, 02:34 PM

Re: Up The Garden Path
This 100mmX100MMx2400mm weighs nearly as much as a Concrete Post, cutting into two required a sharp saw.
The Women behind me in the Click and Collect queue, after standing there for 5 mins said to me, are you waiting for Click and Collect, if so can I queue jump as I want to go in store, I told her it was Click and Collect only as the store was being refurbed, she got narked and buggered off, then a bloke in a car pulled up next to me at the front of the queue, I had to back off to keep separation, an argument then started with him and the you lad on duty, because the geezer wanted a bag of something or other, fair play to the lad, he told the geezer if he wanted to go instore, to come back in six weeks.
