- The fence-post list specifies two 20 kg bags of post mix and 7 litres of gravel per post.
Field notes
The current example is a fence post set in timber described as 100 × 100 mm, pressure-treated to Use Class 4 and 2.4 m long. Its list also includes bracing off-cuts and screws. First Fix says measurements are sourced from manufacturers or regulators; its planning-rule guidance is for England, and it explicitly excludes electrical, gas and structural work. Several other job series are marked as coming.
