Help with Fence cost UPDATE Page 4

Type? Cedar? Pine? Treated? Height?

All change the cost.

Metal or 4x4 posts?

In Mandeville, cedar is $15-17 per foot plus $500 or so for a gate

Eta- if you are doing pine yourself, probably $10 per foot plus gates. Treated pine was $4 per 6inch picket last I looked

That was including labor. I didn't see where you said you would be doing it yourself

5 years ago it was $6-8.00 a foot. Haven't built any lately though.

Wood posts: 14 posts x $3.57 (cheapest wooden post 'rounded 4x4) = $51.00

350 pickets or so x $1.28 = $448

54 pressure treated 2x4 (39 for the rails, 15 for three gates) = $215

Gate hardware 3 x $25 = $75.00

Quikcrete 14 bags @ 2.67 = $37.38

Nails for pickets (you'll wanna use ring shank) $20??

Stain is about 1 gal covering 200ft sq, you got 1200 feet to cover, so about 6 gallons $35ish per gallon = $210

Should be between $1100-1200 total?

ETA - you'll likely want to double up (shorten the spacing on both sides of the gates to reduce gate sag, so maybe three more posts and concrete? Also will need some 3" nails for the rails to the posts.

When you say double gate, is it one swinging gate that is double wide? Or two separate swinging gates separated in the middle?

Then you'd have one normal walk thru gate, and two separate swinging gates for the double wide? 3 gates, no? Anyway, I think matl' est is close regardless.

Best o' luck!

And I have to figure in the price of an auger rental at about $100 for the day.

if you live in louisiana you really dont need one. Just a post hole digger. We have some soil here in Mississippi in the clay yea I'd get one

Also figure $15-$25 for a sprayer to apply the stain unless you have a clean old one laying around.
