V8 Beast Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I asked for help because I watched my neighbor instal his posts. By the time he was done it looked like he had to fight in the octagon for 8 straight hours. The ground under the top soil is solid clay and rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't recall what the cost per liniear foot was, but there are 29 posts with mine. 36" high at the low point. Done about 8 years ago for $2,700. No way I was going to do all that shit. Done in less than two days. I did install some nice copper post caps later http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/17386038.jpg http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/11579161.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nice yard and fence! I'll need a total of 18 posts. My neighbor has already built a fence so I only have to build 2 sides (1 gate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ben can you PM me ther contact info will have ti give them a call. http://www.fenceinstall.com They did our next door neighbor's fence. We liked it and they have great prices. Tell them I referred you. Maybe they'll give me a discount. Hehe. I'm most likely having them put in a deck this year too.

TTQ B4U Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'll have to look when I go home for lunch today. I let them put a small sign on the back gate going to the open field behind us.

TTQ B4U Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks. I love the yard, hate the work it takes. Especially now as we've since added a huge planting bed along the whole back of the house / deck. Wife's desire but my work and caring for We have three gates. A 48" one on the far left side / front. Partially hidden by the planting beds, but it at least allows for larger items to pass through. One on the other side/front and then one in the back so I have access to and can run the dogs in the field back there. I also had them use screws vs nails in the far back corners near the electrical and phone boxes...which are pretty much hidden. This way if there is ever a need for the utility co. to replace them, they don't have to bust apart my fence to get to them. Just roll up a truck from the back-side/field and unscrew the fence. The posts will be there, but I'd rather have them replace 1 post than a 8'ft section of my entire fence that will then not match/be costly. I also talked with my nieghbor on the left side and got him to use the same company and put up a matching fence around his yard. Heck, mine was done on the one side, so he decided to do the same and only had to flip the bill for 3 sides. Makes the yards look nice and consistant/uniform. Nice yard and fence! I'll need a total of 18 posts. My neighbor has already built a fence so I only have to build 2 sides (1 gate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
