I've just come across this listing for wooden paling fence. Available ina wide variety of colours and at just over a fiver for 900mm x 50mm high it has to be worth considering!

Me too. Intrigued by the buy two get one free offer on the one I selected- Does it automatically add a 3rd to the delivery if you order 2 or does it discount the 3rd if you order 3. I have gone down the order 2 route as I did not see a discount if I ordered 3 in the checkout. sent the question to the seller. I've had some GRS molded polystyrene fence for years but have always had trouble getting paint to adhere . Let's see how this stuff fairs in our climate over time. But at the price why worry ?
Slight concern - says UK stock "held in Walsall", click on seller and says they are based in China. Well it's all protected be E bay/PayPal so what the heck. Thanks for the link. Yes. I think these could be quite popular too, perfect height. Max

f you don't mind waiting, which I don't, there is this option in a nice coffee colour. I only found it as it came up as a link.

Installed some of this fencing today. Looks very promising.Not only can it be bent around in the horizontal plane, it can also be sculpted to follow the terrain in the vertical plane.

It seems to be made from coffee stirrer type wooden palings heavily coated in paint so not sure how long it will last if left outside permanently, but as it's so reasonably priced, I don't see that as a problem.
I've got a few more packs to deploy, so trying to figure out where it will best be placed.

PS. I tried the three for the price of two offer but when I put in three it charged me for three. However, I contacted them afterwards and they're sening me another pack for free.
