Hi Fullout!
I am not a fencer but am very logical and have done a lot of renovations and things so logic prevails…
Heres a good exercise to give you an indication of your costs: – should take you around an hour to do this…. but will give you some good bargaining power if you are getting rip off merchants quoting you.
Go to Bunnings and price up the pickets (900mm highx75mmwide x 16mm thick). measure the length of the area to fence and do the following (loosely termed calculation)- will deep you within a bulls roar!
eg.
Length of area to be fenced = 12M (12,000mm)
pickets = (75mm)75mm x 900mm x 16mm
Gaps (between pickets) =(25mm)Picket Calculation:
1. Logically for every picket there is a 25mm gap, thus every 1 picket + gap = 100mm
so….. every metre = 250mm of gap (750mm pickets = 10 pickets)
2. 12(metres) X 10 pickets = 120 pickets required
3. add 5% for wasted or acidental damage = 126 pickets required for the job. (round up to the nearest whole number).
=======================================================
Posts required:
QTY 7x75mmx75mmx1200mm tanalised posts -1 @ each end and 5 @ 2m intervals to span the 12 Metres.
=======================================================
Steel footing Stirrups:
Qty 7 x 75mmx75mm
=======================================================
Galvanised coach bolts:-Posts
Qty 7x12mmx100mm
=======================================================
Footings (bondcrete):
Qty 7 x 400mm x 150mm x 150mm = 0.06M2
=======================================================
Top and bottom rails required
Qty 12x45mmx75mmx2100mm treated pine
=======================================================
Galvanised coach bolts:-
Qty 24 x 12mm x 150mm
=======================================================
Picket Screws (galvanised)
Box 1000 x 32mmlength
=======================================================
Paint (all weather external) = 8-10 litres (approx 1 litre per 4msq) total approx coverage required = 16.2 msq. x 2 coats – Remember you have 2 sides to do []
=======================================================
Labour = around 10 hours (@40.00/hour)= $400.00-approx
– 4 hours to dig post holes and pour, align, set and brace posts and stirrups.
– 6 hours to fit & paint rails and pickets (2 coats)
(remember to paint the rails before the picket are attached)
Hope this gives you some idea anyway,
Cheers
