    Don't know if I still have the price per m to be honest, was before last Christmas when we got it. Prob a bit cheaper than usual too as uncle gave the quote. I'll ask him when I see him next but you may well have your own quote by then!

    Just texted him :D

    Was approx €5k for 95m with four horizontal rails & gate to match. Now as I said that's possibly family price.

    Done 30m of it last year, post 8ft apart 3 rails and it cost me around the 800ish mark. Got the timber myself and paid a lad to erect with a post driver.

    3 post looks just as good imo and you will save a couple quid.

    Depends on the ground you're working with you could spend 15-20 minutes putting up one post or you could drive 30-40 an hour.
    Easiest posts I've used had no point on them went in perfectly straight.

    Can I fence for you please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That price is away with the fairy's to be fair.

    Depends on what you are getting but as a rough guide,bearing in mind that with the demise of the celtic tiger post and rail jobs are very few and far between and haven't done one this 2 years apart from a bit for myself and that was lumped in with other stuff so no idea of material prices off the top of my head without looking at invoices;

    4 rail post and rail(4x2 rails,6ft. 6x3 stakes and proper king posts) was about 18-20 per metre plus vat for tannilised timber and 25 or so plus vat for cresoted timber.Thats supply and erect on a pretty straightforward job without hanging fancy timber gates or a lot of turns or steps.
    All the extras cost money(time consuming)

    Beware of people using 4x 1.5 rails(unless needing a savage bend in the fence) or 4x 2.5 stakes in 5 ft.Easy to price a little cheaper if using somewhat cheaper materials.They will work etc. but standard is using 4x2 rails and 6x3 stakes.

    Biggest job is getting stakes drove straight and plumb at correct centre's and heights so as the finished job looks right.Nothing easier than banging up a few stakes,tacking on the rails and then realising it looks sh**e because it doesn't follow the fall of ground,out of line with background buildings etc,entrance looks off square.
    Not as simple as wire fencing because if done wrong looks rubbish and its nearly always by a roadside so public comment is to be expected!!!

    Love the way everyone is getting smart in here over this. Do you think I pulled this price out of my arse or something. That's what myself and others were quoted a few years ago.

    Never said I got it done or anything else. So less of the stupid remarks

    If you have to concrete them in dig the hole and put a bit of stone in the bottom of it helps stop them rotting.
