Anyone in the Baton Rouge area with recent quotes for treated pine 6ft privacy fence? What is the going rate per LF?

Looking to build 200~LF. Not including gates (will be making those myself)

You want to pay someone to build 200ft of wood fence but you're gonna build the gates yourself? You won't save crap. The gate posts will need to be installed with the fence. Might as well have them do it all.

I don’t know if this is helpful at all, but we paid about $20/ft for a 4 ft pine fence in BR a few months ago.

He might want a custom homemade gate that he can say he made himself or he wants to do it for fun.

Otherwise you're right

CenLA - $26-$34 ft. for 6' pickets
About $40 ft. for 8' pickets......200' = $8,000

Got a friend who is fabricating the gate frames for me. I have a strong hatred for sagging gates.
