Need to replace my fence panels, the current featheredge panels I put up 24 years ago have finally reached the end of their days.

I'm in Kent and fence suppliers round here seem to want to charge an arm and a leg for panels that are remotely built to last.

I came across this website that does a lap panel using 16mm thick boards for £26 for a 6ft x 5ft panel

http://www.the-sawmill.co.uk/shop/fencing/heavy-du...

Trouble is, is that they are in Yorkshire and unsurprisingly don't deliver to Kent. They say each panel weighs 30kg and I need 10 so courier cost would be hefty I guess.

Can't seem to get close to cost/thickness of panel round here. Anybody got any recommendations for fence suppliers in the south east that are close enough to deliver to Kent (Medway) and can compete with cost/panel construction of the above.

Cheers, John

I made the fence panels all those years ago but back then it was financially worthwhile as the featheredge was cheap, now it's expensive relative to just buying a completed panel.

Many thanks chaps. Challenge fencing is coming out a bit toppy but Orchard look pretty reasonable, even their prices for feather edge and arris rails are pretty cheap. Not as thick as the Yorkshire stuff but certainly worth a look thumbup
