I got a quote for a 6foot side by side cedar plank fence. Replace 6 wooden post with metal posts, 3 rails, and 2x6 bottom board. The fence is 43ft long. $2200 I'm thinking this is too high. What say you? Going rate for 6’ pre-stained is about $60 a foot so that price is the going rate if it’s pre-stained. It’s about $55 a foot not pre-stained which would be the going rate. I just asked my neighbor who does fences. Sounds like you may be getting a couple hundred off the going rate by his price.

When putting up new fence, good idea to get a lot stake done first

At $54 that's getting up there but we didn't do cedar. Two full sides, a double gate and a pedestrian gate was $7200 including the permit fee. A pox on my city. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-20284-263184-1000003686.jpg) Why did you have the ugly side facing inside your yard? Corner lot?

Harder for the crooks to climb your fence. Also some cities require it.

I replaced my fence last year with pre-stained cedar and metal posts. $60 per square. Not cheap but looks great.

East side of my fence is 8' tall. A few years ago had some heavy rain followed by strong west winds. Ended up with 14 poles leaning outward. During covid we called a few fence companies and none wanted to do the work, too small of a job as they were getting rich off covid money. Got tired of the wife nagging about it and just got some estimates. $225 a pole to pull them and install new ones deeper. I think a few aren't even cemented in, new home construction shortcut I'm sure.

After all the wind damage around my area over the last couple weeks….the a hole that does code enforcement for my city wrote me a warning for having one missing picket and one broken picket.  Jokes on them…..I’m gonna do a half assed job to “meet compliance” and it’s gonna be ugly. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-93588-263306-image.jpg)

I thought permits were standard in the city limits, for any construction.
We've gone back and forth. $220 to build a fence is stupid. yes it is did some city person just happen to drive by? Yes. He's new and on a tear. Sounds like the goober in my city. He must live on my street. Haha. I’m on a corner, less than a block from the FD, PD, and city offices. Haha.

Yes. I have a 16' double gate. When I rebuilt it I used these adjustable gate braces. I will not build another gate without them. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-6989-263364-screenshot_20250318_074813_chrome.jpg)
