Thanks guys. I should have said its close board fencing.

Tools I'd thought of are post hole spade thingies, string thing, spirit level, nail gun and experienced chap.

 

A few years ago I was always neck deep in tree work so I passed landscaping and fencing enquiries on.

Those days are gone so I've decided to do it myself.

 

Thanks for your time chaps.

A nice big post hole borer. Lovely on nice ground but hit a tee root and hang on for dear life. Good for a laugh.

 

I've done my first fencing job with. Spade, hammer, nail puller, spirit level (got a pack of three sizes with carry bag and free tape measure), string line, didn't get a nail gun straight away. Wait to see how it goes and if it's good then get one. Shovel for mixing concrete and some ply to mix on. Wheel barrow. And a post spirit level.

 

Oh and an old axe and mattock.

What is larch, when it's not a tree?
