Default Scaffolding Boards in the ground.

Yeah, something like that would be ideal, they can be had for a fiver
each
from any fencing place, an prob a bit cheaper than the scafolding planks


I have tried Scaffolding boards, but as you say they rot, now I use
Decking Boards, 2.4m long are £4.49 at wickes. Have had them around my
strawberry patch for at least eight years and they still look good.


Decking boards are a decent alternative given that they are tannalised
(pressure treated with preservatives) but they'll still rot eventually.
That said, concrete fence panels disintegrate after a while - once the steel
rods start to rust, they blow the concrete to bits
