[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1496527, member: 32659"] In the last year I’ve built somewhere around 12,000’ of fence for myself, about 1/2 border 1/2 cross. All of this is 5 strand barb with pipe corners and pipe line post. Building fence isn’t back breaking work once you get a system down it’s fairly easy. I always try to find a helper but lots of times can’t or they only last a few days. $2.50 is the going rate for labor and materials around here which I think is fair. Problem is most of the new fence I see is loose after a couple years and it seems people don’t believe in line post. We’ve got 2 contractors in the area I would trust and they stay 3-6 months behind. Fence and FFS look like they do top notch work and would definitely be worth the money. We’re finishing up 3,000’ today that will end up costing me around $3,500. Pretty reasonable when you figure it would have been $11,250 to have it cleared and built by contractors. That’s figuring $1.25 pf materials, $1.25 pf labor, and a $1.25 pf for dozer to clear.
