Where in/around London can I get fence panels that will last a lifetime (or at least 20 years)?

I need to replace the dilapidated fence panels between myself and my neighbour and want panels that will last a very long time.
I'm happy to pay extra for something that will last.
I will be using concrete fence posts with slots and will be doing the work myself.
Many thanks.

My builder swears by Jackson's. Says quality is excellent.

Not sure about stockists though. Delivery?

I'm interested too. What style are you after? The close board panels were had fitted 4 years ago are already splitting and twisting. Close board always seems to get gaps where from an angle you can see through. Overlap might be better. Or tongue and groove.

Have you looked at something called Colourfence? The panels are steel in a choice of colours and very long lasting.

Look at these. Eurocell I admire them and the other stuff they have in store each time we go there for Dh projects.
We had a white picket fence at our old house made from the same stuff, looked like new when we moved and it was 10 years old.

Hi @Troels

The eurocell fence materials looks nice but is it not incredibly expensive?
An 300mm x 1.8m board costs £16.50 , so a typical 6 feet by 6 feet panel will cost 6 * £16.50 = £99.

Or am I being stupid not for the first time?

Not sure what you consider expensive, what is a normal fence panel cost in comparison, this will be no maintenece. We dod hose off the small fence we had once in a while and it looked good.
If we were replacing a fence Dh said we'd go for it, but ours are all older and in really good shape holding up the hedge
