Hi, I got a 6x3 stand alone garage and plan to conver to a room.
Need to remove an existing wall of approx. 1m high and a garage door structure. Planning on replacing this with palisade fencing and a gate.
I want a quote on a x pillar next to my gate, example of pillar attached. It is a vacant plot and we are needing a contractor to install electricity but they need a pilar to be built first.
