Need to replace a 100' fence section within a week--contractor suggestions?

I've done this in the past and know that I don't want to do it again.
It's a 100' section of 8' high wooden fence that fell, and I'm looking to use metal posts with some cross-braces drilled underground this time to provide more support since it's in a drainage area that is often wet.
My contractor is having issues finding manpower and supplies (10' metal posts and 8' pickets) and said I may have to go elsewhere if I want it done in a week. Other than Scott Fence, do any of you esteemed folks have suggestions?

I don't know of any contacts in that area. May be mistaken but either Vette guy or Stout may have maid posts indicating they have construction contacts in that area. Good luck.

I'm going to build a double gate and a 65' run of fence this weekend if the weather cooperates.

This will really limit your contractor choice.

100LF of fence is a very small job for a fence contractor though
I would not be expecting to get a "deal"

You can fix it yourself in like 3 hours.

you got an 8' fence and only 10' post?
you only got 2 feet going in the ground?
no wonder it fell over.....
better double that for a secure fence post

I was deferring to the contractor, but that did seem odd to me.

Porch.com is your solution. You can book a contractor the same day via mobile application.

I would at least talk to Online Deck and Fence. No clue if he can fit you in, but would be my first option if I were going to pay to have a fence installed.
