Hi all,
We moved into a new build property in July. The garden was fenced on all but one side, the boundary with next door. To make it look neater (and also enhance security) I wanted to have this part fenced in the same way. So I got several quotes, and in the end decided to go with the same company who the builders had used to do the rest of the fencing, thinking it would have more of a chance of matching this way...
So the fencer came today, and this is what they've put in...
As you can see, the new fence (to the left) is significantly darker in colour to the existing one, which was installed only a few months ago. I made it known that I wasn't happy, and have queried it twice now with the fencing company and they have assured me it is the same wood and will fade to be similar to the existing fence. However I'm majorly sceptical and have said I'm not prepared to pay until someone comes and looks at it who can confirm either way...
In the meanwhile, I'm after your opinions...
...Does it look like the same wood to you?
...Could it just be that the new wood is wet/damp and needs to dry out?
...Would you be happy with this (and be prepared to pay £250+)
Thanks, appreciate the input.
