State of my new fence!

[Elephantsarenottheonlyfruit]

AIBU or would you be unhappy with this?

No top caps either

Are those gaps underneath or concrete?

I think the various levels of your patio and garden ruled out the scalloped fencing ever looking neat, and they should have told you that.

The gate looks a bit short. I am
not sure what else they could have done with the two half panels. Perhaps would have looked better with straight edges. A couple of climbing plants and you’ll not worry. Pretty sure I wouldn’t have noticed without it being pointed out.

The bases in each panel aren't level? It's all very weird.

Looks shit, I would complain

Would take much to make the 2 odd panels a more symmetrical curve
i couldn’t cope with the I like everything equal

Not sure what you expect.

You have shitty half moon panels when the gaps are not wide enough for them, at least they've tried with the angles either side of the gate.

The gate being off centre of the path is unforgiveable

Nice enough panels and gates very badly planned and fitted. If I/DH had done it, I'd suck it up and say it wasn't bad, but if I'd paid a professional I'd have been ticked off. Too uneven to look at if it's a tradesman job.

Who chose the panels? They really don’t work with your layout.

Deleted as double posted.

If they put the posts in, then this looks badly done. The posts are set in the wrong places for the panels to look good (and especially the path. If they just put new panels up, I’m not sure there could have been a much better way to do it with the panels chosen.

Sorry but that looks shocking! Wouldn't be paying until it was rectified.

I think the main problem is the gate and alignment of other sections. I would have a problem if it were my property. Did they consult with you about this before hand?

You would expect whole panels either side of the gate and cut down in less visual positions. Do you get caps on concrete posts, I thought just the pointed profile. Were you in when it went up?

Did you pay someone to do it?

What did you expect? What did you agree to? How much did you pay?

It would have cost more I expect to have it symmetrical, which I think is what you're getting at. Did they talk about that at all, or just assumed?

But it would massively irritate me every time I saw it, even if I was just walking past.

Something like this. Although ground slopes they could have gone something to make tops level.

But yes, depends on what you told them and what you paid.

This is how the same section looked before, I asked for “same style of fencing “ and they have dug and replaced fence posts and chosen position. I haven’t yet paid in full for it and DH was here while they did it.

Why did they change the posts and plinths?

They should have done full widths each side of the gate and then cut smaller pieces for each end. It's stupid to have two cut out pieces each side of the gate in prime position. Your "before" picture shows how it should be done. Don't pay and make them do the job again! They've done a very amateur job without any forethought as to how it would look in the end. Looks like they've just bodged it up as they've gone along.

This. I really wouldn't pay them until they fix it.
