Pauline: looks great still, its a very clean and tidy garden I do feel its nice when its a small size so it can be managed I have a forest in comparison
thanks blueonion just glad to have more confirmation its good in harsh winters, most of the info on the internet is dating back 2010 on plastic fencing so its hard to know for sure.
I just priced up the pvc post and with either fencefins(concreteless) or normal concrete fixtures along with pvc panels (post and panels on special offer due to scuff marks) comes up a whopping £600-700.
I can see why many stick with typical wooden fencing its perhaps 2-3x less cost.
Course with labour work roughly for 5-6 fence panels in UK costing £300-500 and overall fence paint such as creosote oil every few years you could easily DIY with going pvc fencing and long term value no maintenance.
I would love to have a fence like that and I was looking at these some months ago. I'm sick of wood and all the problems that go with it.. I don't need to do it right now, my fence has already had some repairs, but have you any idea how much it might cost including labour for an approx. 50 foot run like the green one above. ?... just to give an idea.. thanks... I would want concrete posts so they slot in...

Not really a fencer/landscaper per say but I was quoted recently around £300-400 for Labour only (UK price) for just doing roughly 5 fence panels (1.8mx1.8m or 6ftx6ft standard size panels).
Really rough calculations 50foot is 15 metres, so you need roughly 8-9 panels to cover 15 metres if they are 1.8 metres wide.
Roughly 9 brand new panels about £100 each so roughly £900 for pvc fence panels
Roughly 9-10 pvc fence (2.4m) post about £21 each so roughly £200
Maybe £500-700 for laborers cost but depends where you are in the world.
Roughly 1.6-1.8k for going uPVC fencing complete. These are really rough prices mind you and could be wrong if I am someone please correct me.
This is why I am going to try and do it myself labor wise. Gets more tricky if you got slopes, uneven grounds and worse not a straight line I have all of them naturally.
You have to invest in a piece of suitable land, pay for tree planting, pay for management of the site, wait for your investment to produce a return after about thirty years, pay for tree harvesting, haul it out using expensive, probably hired, machinery, transport it to a yard to be stored for a year or two or kiln dried using electricity, plane it, select different grades to sell at different prices and wait for a customer to turn up.
I will never complain about wood prices ever again
I get why many dislike plastic, if you are a garden person I am sure one could jet wash clean their garden fence and garden shed every few months and enjoy painting both to protect it from rot and damage each year.
The plastic is super expensive. I got several companies over last year to quote for finishing fencing in our front yard (one side is already completed, due to neighbors plastic fence). Maybe 30 yards of fence, and a people gate.. estimates came in around $3K-$5K for everything.
The neighbors dog kept coming in and peeing and crapping on my veg bed and surrounding area. I ended up going for a shorter section that just fences off my veg beds and doing it myself with a 'no-dig' powdered coated steel fence system. It won't last nearly as long, and will eventually require some painting.. but doing it myself, materials were only about $500.

The upvc fence post that I have seen in UK have a metal bar inside them to support, they appear to need cement also. Like these ones here:

Its quite strange since the videos on youtube and internet are always dating back many years ago and appear almost from the 80s !
These are the ones I am considering not that I am fully decided yet:

Once the fence post are done, its literally just slotting the panels in takes a minute.

I just want wooden edging for my borders, which looks awful btw, and yet will cost £££s.

Sadly do not have the time for all that
