Just sell palisade @ £70.00 a metre :D

Getting brochures from suppliers is a good start. Boundary issues are for the land owner not you. Another string to your bow is automated gates. In conjunction with entry systems. Again suppliers will have brochures and training sessions on products.

Pricing? What is the land like, are you disposing of soil? How far apart are the support posts, are they cemented in or just driven? Is is a drop in panel or like palisade stanchions bolted every 5 inches top and bottom?
But seriously that palisade price is about right for average ground and digging.

Get to know local suppliers, they often chuck out some good deals if you can store materials. Same as entry equipment.
Your in Nottingham I see. Came Automation are based there and run training classed for all of their automation products.

Should be enough for you to get on with for now.
 
Thanks for the advise I'm still working on the motorways but going to try an start up at the same time,

I think it may just but a confidence thing really, I just feel bit unsure on what fence to suggest to customers or if there going to now what they want, and the fence that ill be doing iv done alot of weld mesh, close board, post an rail etc but never panel an plint or residential fencing. How much would you price standard panel fence on concrete post for per meter
