[QUOTE="fence_it, post: 1452562, member: 30068"] $8 a foot is very high for woven wire. "Here" it would be in the $4 - $5 per foot range for high tensile fixed knot wire with a mixture of wood and t posts. Of course their are lots of variables involved. But it would have to be one PITA job for us to charge $8 a foot. Provided we arent using special materials like pinta posts, etc... Sounds like that guy found a residential contractor who thinks he can build farm fence. We run up against those guys all the time and they are always 2-3x more than our quote. p.s. I notice you said little job, 2800 feet is over half a mile and should be considered a decent job for any contractor. This would take us 3-4 days. So no quantity justification for $8 per foot unless the guy is having to commute a fair distance. [/QUOTE]
