Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 08, 2012 3:42 pm Hi everyone, I have got a few quotes for fencing+retaining wall (timber - lapped and capped). The price for the fencing is similar between the quotes but the prices for the retaining wall are quite different. The height and length of the retaining walls are about the same in each quote. I am puzzled about the big difference in the prices. The retaining wall is made of timber planks and the fencing will sit on top of the retaining wall. I enquired about the cheaper price for the retaining wall. Was told that the price is better as the material is supplied directly from saw mill. Are there any other possible reasons why the retaining wall is much cheaper. Not sure what questions to ask about the retaining wall to make sure this is a genuine deal. Has anyone installed Lap and Cap fencing with a company called LocalFence (www.localfence.com.au). Would like to hear from anyone who has done so. Look forward to some feedback. Thanks. Re: Building Fencing - Lapped and Capped 3Apr 02, 2012 2:31 pm Hi gem888. how did you go with this fencer? Did you end up using them? i need to get 3 quotes and am struggling to find anyone else that does them. Thanks Re: Building Fencing - Lapped and Capped 4Apr 15, 2012 12:12 am Hi, we used Local Fencing for the back fence in the Lap + Cap. Our rear neighbours organised it and they did a good job. I am thinking to get them back to do the remaining fencing + retaining wall and side gate. It was priced at $62/m for the lap + cap (quoted in October 2011, but they kept the price the same when it was completed in Jan 2012). Would be interested to know how much they quoted for the lap+cap + ret wall. Thanks! Hi all, Our boundary perimeter fences need replacing (3 sides). From everyone's experience, what would you install? Timber lapped and capped OR colorbond?
