Post and Rail fence prices

Depends where you are, what type of fencing is used (different types of both posts and rails) how many rails you have and so on. As a rough guide you're probably looking at about £5 a metre for erection only, (this could alter if you have 3 or 4 rails and which type) materials on top. Hope that helps.
 
I have just stolen another 2 of our hay fields for pasture. They are being fenced at the moment and after having had a load of post and rail fencing erected, I know how expensive it is. We have decided to fence these two fields with vinyl fencing - you may want to check out the prices of it as a comparison? I have gone for the stud fencing vinyl - the white rail with high tensile wire X3 running through it. Supposed to be very safe and has a good break-strength.

I am so sick of the rotten wood we have down here in Canada (we have great wood but that is all shipped to the States; so we have all the dregs here). I ordered my vinyl from the States at a quarter of the cost of the suppliers here in Canada....
 
Expensive unfortunately. I *think* the fencing for our arena (60 x 40metres with 3 rails) with labour is £2,500. I *think*

I'll go and look at the quote for you. They're currently in the process of putting it up.
 
Much much cheaper to buy your own from a wood yard and bribe a few men to put it up with the promise of bacon butties and a crate of beer

. Ours worked out at about 4 pounds a metre.
 
i am thinking of fencing at the moment.i have post and rail around the small areas but for a long stretch i am considering round posts at 10ft and 3 strands of galvanised wire that i can electrify.

i`ve been told not to stretch it really tight cos it cracks the galv coating then rusts.but i think i will use the proper insulaters and strain the corners properly.the wire is sold by weight and the thinner one is best for electric.
