It’s definitely a DIY job. We were quoted over £7000 for ours in timber by a specialist. It came to less than £1000 for all the material and took two weekends to do ourselves.
I used the stone slab technique with rubber above and below the posts and painted the frame with a good few coats of fence paint.
The frame was built in place and then levelled with lots of support to stop it sagging.
Once the frame is complete it’s pretty quick to lay the boards on top.
Tools wise you only really need a decent saw, drill and spirit level.
