A friend is getting quotes to replace a fence. The fence is 20 metres long.

He has initially specified lapped boards and wooden posts (concrete posts
another option).

The fence needs a gate about half way along.

The old fence needs removing.

He has been quoted 3 men for 2 days and a total cost of around £3,500.

Does this seem reasonable?

Had 3 quotes to replace a 13m panel and post fence (most posts broken!) with a feather edge fence. Two quotes of £1400 and one of £1800. I did it myself for £500 which included buying a decent post shovel. Took a weekend to take down the old fence and break up/burn and dig the 6 600mm holes and get the posts in, and another 2 part time weekends to cut the rebates for the arris rails and fix the boards


Arris brackets are available, saves cutting holes in the preserved
layer...
