We have about 8 metres including two end posts. It is cast stone and was about £200 per metre from memory.

It should be ready to collect in about 3 weeks when we get the 'redesign' of the garden under way.

Free to a good home. You collect it from Southampton. Photo to follow when I can get the phone working.

I'll pick it up next time I'm down there. Or you could post it to me?

There is a market for this type of stuff on Fleabay you know. Might fetch a bob or two.

Was going to pay my builder £150 to dismantle a conservatory to make way for an extension. Ended up auctioning it and got £1300 for it. Bloke turned up in a van, dismantled it and took it away.

Bet it would break your postmans back trying to deliver it though. Do you want it recorded delivery to make sure it doesn't go missing?

Stone is free if you pay postage 😉

Oh these posties round here generally they're ok but when it comes to parcels they can be a bit hit and miss. My neighbour's going on holiday next week, and he's having some plants delivered. Thing is, these won't last long in the heat of a sorting office, without water, so I'll have to be on the ball to see if they leave an undelivered item card. TBH I'm a bit worried about it really, cos if it goes wrong and I don't collect them, then he'll go into one.

I am going to sabotage his squirrel traps though.

Finally got around to putting this on eBay last weekend and some bloke is collecting it as we speak having given me £220 for it!

The only reason it went on eBay last weekend is because i pulled my shoulder muscle while loading it into the back of the truck ready for the tip.

Exactly how much thought did you have to put into your username? 😛

Now he can sell it to some Henry as "aged balustrade" for a markup 😉

He can put all the mark up on it he likes. Over £200 for 10m of stuff I was taking to the tip is a result for me as far as i am concerned!
