post and rail price

[gnfencer]

Just looking for a rough guide on erecting a post and rail fence, four rails, posts at every 1.8 metres, with a wooden gate installed what kind of price should I be looking at per metre, it's for horsey folk, with a general rule of thumb add an extra zero for them!

[MGSLandscape]

Down here in Essex, we would be charging around £15 a metre for four rail fencing, although we find the horsey crowd the tightest of them all ;-)

 

Gates would be on top of that, standard 10ft 5 bar gate around £200 fitted

 

Hope that helps, and happy new year :-)

If I charged tbat it would be a happy New year I usually take 20 quid to hang a gate, with the hooks on top of that

[MGSLandscape]

That's supplied and installed prices..

I would agree with £200 as a minimum to supply and fit a 10ft gate with 2x posts and relevant adjustable hangings etc. the materials alone would come to about £120 so you certainly want a bit on top by the time u've sunk hanging/shutting posts and got it all hanging nicely.

 

Post and rail- are you proposing to drive the posts or dig them in, also I assume you mean using sawn 5x3s as posts- not the more agricultural/cheaper round stakes?

I can supply all materials (European Larch) for £8.50 a cubic foot plus VAT, if it's of any use.

[Jimbob87]

I charge between fifty and eighty quid labour on a gate plus materials. Depends on size of gate. 14 quid a metre post and four rail

I had a quoter from a contractor to supply and erect post and rail only two rails and he wanted 2700 pound sor 160m run worked out about 17pound a meter I though ouch and that was using 4inch round stakes I was thinking more about 10pound a meter

[gnfencer]

Using round posts, the customer prefers them I actually prefer the look of them with round too.

I will be driving posts in with a chapper,

I have to say that it seems far more per metre than I thought, all the materials are being bought together with other fencing materials so would just be the Labour,

To just install post and rail looking at £4.5m inc nails.
