Wood fence
So wood has come down a bit since COVID and I知 thinking about having a fence build and I知 getting $6-7500 quotes for 160ft. for a 6ft board on board. That sound right to y誕ll?

Jesus. I did 60-70 feet when wood was just starting to get high for 450.00 or so. Is there a bunch of tear down? Metal posts? Most of my Cedar posts were still in good shape but I used 2x4s and 6 inch pickets. All drilled and screwed in, not nailed.

Two months ago I paid $9400.00 for 120 feet of 8 footer board on board with a cap and baseboard plus 8 foot tall gate/metal posts. Removal also of old fence with brick columns and new fence sealed. It looks like a Donald Trump border wall as it measures over 8ft just on fence not including cap.

I was shocked but my fence was about to fall down after I rednecked it up multiple times.

F that. That seems high as shit. I thought lumber was coming down now.
I’m glad I live on lots of land with no need for a fence, although I do have an area with livestock fencing but the previous owner had horses. |

I would give them the money they want if Mexico was paying for it.
I知 also interested in installing a 35ft sliding gat with no motor for an addition 3500! I知 wondering if it値l be cheaper next year or if I should just bite the bullet and get it done.

So I went ahead and took this project on myself. Anyone around here ever build their own fence? Since I知 doing it myself I decided I to go taller and add an additional 2ft to my existing 6ft posts. I致e completed the back side in the alley and now I知 working my way between the two houses. My rails are level as is everything else but my 8ft fence is getting shorter as I move down the line. I know the ground is uneven but is this normal?

Sorry, I only build emotional fences that cost friends and relationships.
