Fence costs

[Groggy]

Hi, I am trying to figure out an average fence cost in the Melbourne area. The fence to be replaced is 28m long.

I have a quote of $105 per lm for colourbond (2.1m high). I think this is reasonable as it is being done in conjunction with other work. What I am wondering is what would a standard fence height cost in timber over the same distance - any ideas?

From what I found it ended up being a bit more for wood, as wood fences are more labour intensive then the CB well thats what the two contractors said.

The quote seems about right $100-$120 depending on site conditions.

Thanks for the information WillyInBris. I wonder if the costs are the same in both cities?

I have a friend who is a fencer, and he does good quality 2.1m timber fences for $130-150 metre depending on site conditions. He does does 800mm post insertions using 1/2 bag cement per post. 90mm galv nails to post and 65mm galv into palings. Plinth board is 150 x 38mm

Dunno about Mexican prices but here in sydney a timber lapped and capped fence is anywhere from $55 per l/m. All the usual extras...extra $15+ for each hole dug in rock, extra for extra height posts, extra for extra length palings...

I just got my fence done and it worked out at $62 l/m.

I know your after a metal fence but you get the idea.

Hey Groggy are you really gunna pay someone to put up a fence?I've had my fill of fences :wink: . One third of it is mine, the other two thirds belong to others. I won't have time to do it and one of the neighbours has a backyard wedding coming up.
