    Anyone have any suggestions on where cheapest to get PDM Post and Rail. Read some old threads from 2017 here where 5mtrs were priced at 6 euros a length. recent quotes I received suggest it is now closer to 17 euros a length.

    McNamara Fencing would be the best quality stuff around. You won't get creosoted rails for anything like €6 a rail anywhere. It's at least double that. You wouldn't even get tanalised stuff for that.

    The prices across post and rail will vary as they're are varying grades available for purchase. I was told the stuff you get in coops and the like is not great so I expect it to be cheaper. Actually I thought it would be less than 10 euros also. McNamaras comes with a 20 year guarantee.its the highest grade so you pay a bit more 9think it was closer to 15 inc VAT) Of course if you can afford it then concrete with the timber effect would be the next step up. you'd hardly notice it was concrete either.

    Pressure treated isn't the same as pressure creosoted. Tanalised pressure treatment seems to have a maximum life of 10 years or so, even the best of it. All the stuff that was put up on the side of the roads in the late 00s is beginning to rot now. Good creosoted timber should last 30+ years.

    I see a house around here that put some up....It's wood-like and everything, and I haven't stopped to look at it, but to me it seems to be plastic.
