I am in the market for a residential wood fence in Greenwell Springs, LA...considering using Forrest Scott Fencing. Does anyone have experience with them? Any recommendations?

I had a mexican guy build mine for about $14 a foot including a gate. Scott's quote was about double his.
Edit: I had a friend build his own who was willing to help me, but I did not have the time to build my own. We were looking at $7 a foot to build ourselves. This was with 4x4 posts and 2x6's as the fence boards.

Mine was about $2700 for my back yard, Used arrow fence, came recommended and was fair with the quote. Fence turned out great.

My quote was for $15/ft for the wood fence installation for the backyard...about 255 feet.

why in the world would you use 2x6 as the fence boards, hopefully you mean as the runners, and even that would be overkill

That's what he wanted and its what the estimate he had done already was.
I did not have the time so I did not pursue it. I had my fence built with the regular fence boards.

Ya don't use 2x6s for fence boards.
And for the sake of everyone's sanity, use 3 2x4 runners.

I'll do it for $14 a foot and I'm not Mexican
