Don't bother with concrete, try using Postfix instead. You just have to locate the post, pour in the powder then add water. It sets in 5 minutes. No mess.

Generally speaking, if you look out of your window, the fence to your right is your reponsibility, to the left is your neighbours.

I put a 90x90 post up 2 weeks ago using postcrete from B&Q, I used a metpost that can be concreted in, dug a 15 inch hole, half filled it with water then poured the postcrete in til it covered the water, it set rock hard in 10 minutes. I'm sure there are 50mm posts as well as 75mm ones that might be useful for what you want to do.

The front or rear window?


It's the one you're looking out of.

Front window and the fence to the right, that side's yours.
Rear window and it's to your right makes that part yours, but for adjoining driveways, between the houses, always check your deeds. The boundary will be clearly marked along with the responsibility.

That's not the case where we live. I have the same side front and rear, i.e. right when look out of the front and left when looking out the back

Our boundaries are on the left as you look at the house from the road. I'm replacing the back fence this week but it's a headache because our neighbour has a wall tied into a poorly built dwarf wall on our boundary. Luckily we get on well and he's ok with me pulling it down.. How it even got built in the first place is hard to understand but there you go.

It really pays to make the effort with neighbours if you can swallow your ego regarding petty issues. Obviously some people are just complete idiots who don't get on with anyone making life difficult for everyone around them.
We have a family like that several doors down and everyone in the whole street dislikes them !!

I have never really bothered about who is responsible for the left or right fences , front or back.

If a fence has needed fixed or replaced I have always approached or been approached by my neighbours and we go 50/50 on the cost.
So much better and saves a lot of hassle and possible falling out etc.
After all its for our mutual benefit and a bit easier on the pocket and have been fortunate with having like minded neighbours.

We are doing the same with our neighbour on the other side. I want a particular type of panel which costs a bit more but she's not well off and can't afford to replace the existing fence which is falling down. I offered to do the work putting a new fence up so she saves loads and I get the panels to match all around the rest of the garden. I'll pay half the cost and do the work so everyone's happy.

I did exactly the same during the summer with my neighbour on one side.

The only way of knowing whoe responsibility boundary maintenance is is from the deeds. Our street all boundaries are 50/50 between neighbours.

As regards the fencing then tightly packed concrete mix around a post would secure it enough for the fence. The post brackets are OK if you use wooden posts so they are easier to replace if they get damaged but decent posts should last as long as the brackets.

As regards the info given to you by the fencing company....sounds like they just wanted more money. We had our concrete posts replaced last year and the company cut off the old posts and put in new posts with hardly disturbing our block paving. Any that they did, were replaced.

It'll work out in the end!!!!


I didn't do it !! Nobody saw me do it !! You can't prove anything !!
