Seen some up the road at a dentist's place. Looks good till a tree falls on it. Too high dollar for me.
"prices start at $11.50/ft"

Priced some, and for a small total 145' pen it was going to be $2000+...I will save my pennies and buy oil field pipe and sucker rod.

What is it? Around here some of the farm stores are selling treated poplars 1x6x16 for about $6 ea.
About 5 of those high on treated posts would make a nice looking fence IMO for around $3/ft.

i live in ne texas and a lot of people are putting this type fence up. yes, is a little higher than pipe and probably not as stout as pipe but a whole lot less maintaince. you can see fence @ priefertfence.com/ponderosa.php

This is my first post so here goes! I have 700ft of the priefert fence on my place and seems to hold up very well. I paid about $10 a linear foot, but done all the installation myself and it is pretty tough! The cows don't seem to push on it as much as barbwire and T-posts.

thanks coalburner for your reply. I have a little over 700 ft also that i am putting in. I got a little better deal ,getting it put in for 11.50 a linear ft. pipe fence with mesh or 3 rail fence will cost 10-12 dollars a ft for it. probably sturder but more up keep.
