Stock Fencing


Bourne in Canterbury

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I have seen some older posts on the subject of Stock Fencing and wondered if anyone could help.

We cover grounds maintenance, and have done dozens of small 50/100lm jobs with stock fencing. I have been asked to give a guide price on 4000lm of stock and single barbed. Decent tractor access, not withstanding any gates or stiles, is there a guide to lm pricing?. 

Thanks in advance

Colin

£6 a meter for good quality stock netting on either uc4 posts or Chestnut would be about right, plus 2x stands of barb. That would be done with quality strainer assemblies not bodge stuff. Roughly it works out at about half and half materials and labour. Adapt as you see fit. Big long lines with minimal turns of direction could be cheaper but awkward stuff needs to be more IMO.

Ground conditions ? look before you leap, you really do need to know whether you will be using a post knocker, auger or explosives.

This!!!! 

 

The ground will make or break a job.  We’ve done 400-500 meters a day in good ground and straight runs.

Generally though with 2 of us and a digger and postknocker we tend to average about 200-250 meters a day In average agricultural ground, 100 meters if I’m on my own. Up here on Dartmoor it’s generally either soft peat ground (which has problems of its own) or its just granite everywhere!!

That’s cracking value, I’m paying £3.90 plus vat for a 15yr 110mm softwood post alone, another £8/strut and £27/strainer. How much are the oak stakes down your way gdh? Are they split or just peeled rounds?

They cost us about £3 to make for split oak. Strainers I value at £20. Our last lot of cresote stakes we bought was either 3.20 or 3.40 I think. 

 

We don't do much fencing, just us and a few neighbours but it's the erecting I find the bigger variable. When you have to start rock spiking you can quickly lose time.
