Fencing

We are moving into a new property on Friday and need some fencing to contain our dog. There are hedges all around the rear garden, but the gaps are too big. We have seen some wire type fencing which is .6 of a metre tall and I guess we just fix it to metal posts and use tension wire top and bottom. Need to cover 30 metres. Anybody used anything similar and is Leroy Merlin the best place to go?

Leroy is the last place to buy this & your local building merchant will stock all you need.
The uprights will need to be concreted in the ground, or into the block wall if there.
As Snickpoh has said get a local to quote (builders yard will know who) for job done as it will need two guys to erect correctly & with the right tools.

Thank you all for your help, looks like it's going to be a bigger job than first anticipated. As we are renting, the owners have said it has to be put back as is when we leave, which makes concreting a little tricky. Hmmmm....will have to drop into a builders yard, see what we can do. :confused:

Easy enough.
I will assume that its an earth (ish) base.
Concrete the posts in, but leaving the concrete a few inches below the earth level.
This will involve having the same depth trench so the bottom of the wire can be buried to give added hold.
When you need to exit the place cut the tubes off neat using an angle grinder, cover back up to earth level, with earth, all neat and tidy. ;)
