Mooresft Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 As above, I have been asked to quote for around 700m of Deer Fencing.Just installation, materials onsite and provided by Farmer. 250m of the work is Hand work 450m is machine. Spec is H Braces, inters at 3m and using two rolls of wire (ht8/80/15 bottom and ht8/80/30 top) Ive done a bit of deef fencing but a while ago and by the hour, just wondering what you guys would be looking at just for labour? As a reference I am charging around the £2pm for stock fencing (just installation) Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Can I ask your standard spec for stock fence a £2.00 per metre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 At £2 especially on short or awkward bits. I would be better of doing other work. £2.40 is more viable. Or I'm really slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevew Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 What sort of equipment do you use, it must be new and efficient. I bet you are really busy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooresft Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 £2 a Meter for stock fence. If you split it £1pm for posts and £1pm for wiring up its about right. Me + tractor and driver cAn put in 600 - 800 m a day. Then wiring up a couple of us can stick up 400m in a day. Any takers on a labour cost for deer fencing?

premnayloon Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Up here labour only I'd be asking £9 roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED STAG Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 If it was me I would want between £4.50 and £5.50 lm for the machine work. Hand would be based on my daily wage with the machine plus a bit for the back ache. Example 300lm a day with machine @£4.50=£1,350 so if 100lm day by hand £13.50lm plus a bit for the back ache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle of Lewis Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yep £9 and rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yep £9 and rising But you've got tough ground. It's taken two of us nearly three full days to knock 160 6x3 post and posts in with a 400kg hammer machine. Pig of a job. 270m fence. Whilst I realise this fence is not relevant to this thread. If we were at £4 a meter its £1080 divide that by four days, which it will be a bit more I think. it's £135 per man day. Gardeners charge £15-20 an hour with a £400 mower. No point operating well over £30,000 of kit. The OP is on abouts hand work which I do as little as possible of, but I saw the lads at the competition rushing, sweating to get 100m and a gate done at Driffield show this summer in under 4hrs in teams of 2. I'd charge a good rate and if some else does it for less more fool them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
