stock fencing

[allan coates]

i have being asked to put up 1800 meters of pig netting does anybody know the going rate per meter to supy and erect or how much per meter if matrials are supplied. The ground is good going.

[miker]

havent done any for a while, but i reckon you should be looking at £4.00 per metre supplied and erected, i was charging £3.00 per metre 7 years ago and got most jobs i quoted

[allan coates]

i was thinking around those prices few years since ive done any do i put on another 50p a meter do you think would that be fair.

[miker]

posts every 2.4 meters allow £4.00 each,50m of stock wire is near £50 a go now, box of staples is £30.00 so just over £4800 in material, leaves you £2350 for labour, yeah id go £4.50 per metre

[allan coates]

sound a fair price to me ile let you know how it goes thanks for the advice.where abouts in the country are you at.

[Graham]

Best price I've seen recently is £4.95 but that's on small jobs.

[miker]

no worries, im in hampshire, hope you get the job

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Yeah was gonna say £5/metre

[Fenland]

You shouldnt be too far out with the prices mentioned here I reckon.

 

Cambridgeshire isnt exactly renknown for its stock farming but we charge anywhere between £4 and £6/m supplied and installed depending on length of run, changes in direction, slopes, access etc etc.

it all depends upon your style of fencing, size of your strainers, do you use 'H' style or simply strut them? do you have strand of barbed below the stock net as well, is your timber treated, will there need to be extra strainers for curves or bends, job to be done by hand or machine? and most important of all ground conditions as this will effect time scale on the job...

 

not forgetting size of posts, 6' or 5,6'?
