01 / PLANNING NOTES
What should the boundary do?
Start with the purpose rather than the product name. Defining a space, retaining a view and creating a more enclosed surface can call for different solutions. Different sides of your garden may have different needs.
02 / PLANNING NOTES
Consider the complete system
A panel or roll of mesh is not a complete enclosure. Posts, corners, connections and gates work together. Check which elements are included when comparing quotations.
03 / PLANNING NOTES
Ground conditions matter
Soil, existing concrete and wall-top installations may require different fixings. Mention level changes and existing structures early in the conversation.
04 / PLANNING NOTES
Compare like for like
Compare height, wire and coating specification, posts, delivery and installation under the same headings. Missing dimensions or different scopes can make similar-looking quotations quite different.
