Hello 👋 I stumbled across your forum and was hoping for a bit of advice? We just moved to a rural rented property where we plan to stay for around 5 years. We need to fence an area of the garden at the front (approx 30 metres, easy access, one corner, soft ground) due to a road as we have dogs. Our landlord is happy for us to do whatever but may well want us to remove the fence at the end of the tenancy, I guess depending on how nice it looks, not sure on the criteria! We need it to be about 3ft high, not spoil the views and keep the dogs in, though they are not really escape artists but one is quite small, so no huge gaps. Need to be able strim the grass easily too. Would stock fencing or picket fencing be the best option? Or is there something else? Have to consider price a bit as its only 'semi permentant' so to speak and ease of removal if required. No concreting etc. We already have stock fencing around some of the property, so that would seem fitting. But would picket fencing be cheaper/easier/look nicer? What sort of price would I be looking at? Any ideas and suggestions welcome. Thanks for reading if you made it this far 😀
