Out of curiosity, how big if a job would it be for two or three guys (one that knows what hes doing and two that have never done it before but are handy with tools)? Looking at somewhere around 300 ft. Yall think that would be a weekend project?
Or is it worth the markup to let someone else do it.

If you are proficient with tools, this will be a breeze. Especially with help. I used to build longer by myself in 2-3 days when there wasnt alot of prep work involved.

It's easy enough job to do with two people for sure - rent an auger and set all the posts. Use a long level to make sure they're straight.
Let them set up a few hours, then start hanging the runners.
Use all weather screws - don't waste your time using nails.
Use something consistent for a spacer between boards too - check periodically with level to make sure it keeps all squared up. The top of the fence is more important to watch than necessarily the bottom (I think!).
power drill for screws and skilsaw for trimming, plus a level are the basic tools needed.
