Cost of new fence/foot installed 4, 5, and 6 inch tile

Anonymous-0 · Feb 11, 2011

Trying to put a value on these two items. Someone a while back told me what a hog wire fence with one barb would cost per foot. Someone else had a more current cost of installed 4, 5, and 6" tile. Thank you.

I'm not sure what your specification is on hogwire. Going rate here is 1.25 to 1.45 per foot for labor fence, be it woven wire, barbed wire, high tensile, or plank. Does not include materials, rock drilling, or removal of the old fence.

Im retailing 47.5 inch high, 6 inch stay, class III galvanized, high tensile woven wire for, with one wire on top, 5 inch posts on 30 inch centers with 2 steel posts between for 1.70 per foot. Thats with around a 25 percent mark up.

Total on the construction with no rock work or dozer will run right at 3.00 per foot with a 600 foot minimum.

Man, how times change so fast. 11 years ago I bought this property. 1/2 mile long, adjoining neighbor had a nice payloader. He drilled the holes, pushed the posts every 30 feet, I did all the steel and clips. 52 inch hog wire and 1 smooth twisted. We had just over 1200 dollars materials in the fence. We did scrounge some of the posts, but all the wire was new. And we had two 20 foot heavy pipe gates. And as I remember, it WAS TICK season (May).

4 inch plastic plowed in is either side of a dollar a foot here.

I don't remember the other right now.

I am getting ready to have around 3500 feet of fence built. I was quoted from $1.75 to 2.20 /foot for 5 barb wire with t posts and a wood post every 4th. Also was quoted $.75 for just the labor + material. I'm trying to decide what I want to keep in and out. I leaning towards a woven wire of some kind. I've already spent about 4k on dozer work clearing the property line. This is in central TX.

I had 1890 feet of 8 inch plowed in last spring. Tile was $1.36 per foot, plowing was $1.06. For 3334 feet of the 4 and 5 inch, the 4 inch tile was $.31 per foot, the 5 inch was $.48 per foot. Plowing in either 4 or 5 was $.96 per foot. His plow can do up to about 6 foot depth for that price. Joints, plugs, rodent guards, transitions from size to size, each backhoe connection, some dozer work to lower some of the cut for the 8 inch, was another charge. Total of $10,626 for 5234 feet. Well worth it, considering the PERMANENT result on over 20 acres. Was a major problem area for the 20 years we"ve owned it. Done over 40 grand in recent years, still more to come. My renter pays excellent rent, and I love to stick it in the ground. Tile is the cheapest hired man around, works 24/7, never absent on Monday morning.

andy r, I agree with Dean But add if all steel pipe corners and a pipe in place of the wood post every 4th or 5th post the cost will be somewhat higher here in Central Texas.
After you figure the cost of line preparation in Deans example the cost of is about 1.14 / running ft say 50 ft wide. 25 ft on each side of the fence so the ROW can be maintained and brush and junk trees do not cover up the fence or nearby trees fall over and crush it either.
So a all steel fence W/ pipe corners and pipe post @ $2.40/ ft + $1.14/running ft for ROW dozing will put your fence at about $3.50/ft
Deans fence below will run about $3.30/ ft all said and all done! Hope this helps
Later,
