I've put chain link fencing up for work (well taken old stuff down and put
new up). You could get the fence for less than £100 and 2 men could do it in
a morning. Although you need the posts as well, say another £30 for the
steel and one man would take a morning cutting, drilling, painting and
concreting them in.



Thanks Steve, it did seem ultra high so was thinking of getting another
quote.
