Im looking to replace a fence that borders a small piece of land next to our house. Just bushes and trees on this piece of land which belongs to the council, however the land rises to a path which is around 6ft higher than our garden so I would ideally like this fence to be around 2.5m high.
Reason I want to use metal posts is if the wood rots in 10-20 years time then I dont have to go through the hassle of replacing posts again. I know concrete ones are good but they do break over time, especially if bushes are putting pressure onto them.
My original plan was to use posts from palisade fencing, put wooden beams joining them, and then feather edge boards to make the fence.
The posts are quite expensive, at least £40 each from the sites I saw.
First, can they be obtain cheaper?
Second, is it worth considering other types of metal posts like 40mm hollow box section?
