As per title.
My aunt has asked if I could install Clipex fencing on her small holding. She’s supplying all the materials, she just wants me to give her the going rate for installing it.
I’m guessing I need my knocker and the wire strainer/pullers?
What should I be asking for per m?

ground is red soil. Gentle sloping but mostly flat ish.
TIA

Hourly rate?
That way she'll get it done cheaper than having a priced contractor in (presuming you're pretty competent at the job) , and you'll get a fair day's pay.

It's pretty easy to put up, and in that sort of ground could be easily done with a drivall and other hand tools. I made a smaller size drivall out of galvanised tubing.

I would agree with that

Definitely.
FWIW I paid 2250.00 for installing 800M of common boundary on men's land. About half was accessed by tractor and most of the rest by bike. I don't know how much trouble they had with rock but all the posts are in correctly.
