Stock fencing price per m.

[paul&mandy]

I know a lot of contractors will supply and erect but what's the going rate for just putting it up per meter? My own tools and machines just customers materials?

lots of variables.
Are you talking easy straight runs ?

Yes all fairly easy.

Yes all fairly easy.

£2.50m plus extras like fixing gates .

Sorry to hijack but is relevant, anyone had any prices for dear fencing lately?
had someone ask for £19 per meter, why seems way over the top to me.
for context it’s a about 350m need doing and it’s on nice flat land.
in fact if anyone on here wants to come to ormskirk and do some dear fencing let me know

 

[Forkdriver]

Almost everyone will do some dear fencing to keep deer in. Be careful for what you ask

 

[Pringles]

Don't think £19 per meter seems out of the way for deer fencing, it's £10/m for good quality stock fencing now.

 

[Dog&stick]

Paying £3.50 per m, large job , brooks, slopes & some good flat runs.

 

[Wooly]

£3 meter in this area, but it is easy marsh ground........no stones, no trees

 

[paul&mandy]

I was thinking lower end of the scale mentioned above, still got my eye in for a high standard of work. Not a massive job but works for us around other commitments.

 

[Tubbylew]

£3.50 plus hereabouts, not much good going in these parts mind, £2.50 is way to cheap imo.

That would have to be easy going, straight lines with big fields

Or 1998

why not just charge by the day, about 3 or 4 years ago I had part of the house renovated and the plasterer charged by the day, I can't remember if he was £200 a day, or £250. I had a hedge laid a couple of years ago, and the fencer who did it charged customers a rate per day for fencing, they supplied the materials.

Last year.
Edit £2m extra for cutting off.

Even then it wouldn't be worth doing at that.

I don't charge day rate for fencing because I think it can be unfair either on the customer or on yourself, some days are good and some days are bad, hedgeing is a lot simpler, you haven't got anything like the overheads and logistics just plain hard work.

Yeah I've no doubt, there are always folk willing to work for the joy of it, and as long as your happy with the quality and service they provide and they are happy with the money everyone is a winner, but I couldn't turn up and do 100m for £250 and expect anything left to eat off.

I’m about that for a good amount, tbh labour only jobs are pretty good for me as long as there’s some input on the materials.
