nc Ne | 5280 ft per mi 80 rod roll = 1/4 mile how close do you want your posts . We go every 4 steps approx 12' costs more but is a lot better fence. We set double h or h with an a behind it on the corners good corners = tight fence |

| You couldnt put up 5 strand barb for that, At 2 dollars a foot ( which is to low a number) you would have over 10,000 dollars a mile easy. Thats paying someone to put it up too. You couldnt do it youself for that. |

West Texas | Just put up a 5 strand barbwire fence. T-post every 10', 530 per mile =$1805. Barb wire 20 rolls per mile @ $52 per roll =1040 and 6 joints 2 3/8 pipe at 1.25 per foot =$232. Total cost per mile with no labor was 3078. |

Central Saskatchewan Canada | It would be around 3000 for parts and 3000 for labour |

Saronville NE | Had a new 1/2 mile put in 2 1/2 yrs ago when I bought the place I live on and think it was a little over $5k for the half mile, but we put in 2 gates, and there was a small creek that runs through so another set of Hs and 2 real steep hills so another 2 sets of Hs, used a creosote post with 3 steel T posts inbetween in the half mile. |

Columbia City, Indiana | I had 5 strand put in last fall, creosote posts every 20 feet, top middle and bottom are barb and the 2nd and 4th are hi tensile electric, 1.70 per foot for everything. |

Driftless SW Wisconsin | Cost also depends on your terrain. Up and down and curves require more wood posts. Rock requires an auger, etc. Clearing/bulldozing also needs to be figured in. Jim at Dawn

| Im going to have to figure one up today, Some of these numbers seem way to good. If i installed one i know the labor would be around a dollar a foot to start with, Then theirs rock drilling if needed then theirs dozing if needed. |

Iowa | I got bids of $1.65 to $2.20 fer foot. This was for five barbs with every fourth post being wooden. This does not include cleaning out the old fenceline or dozer work. Edit: I just checked back and noticed you were asking about "good quality" fence. The guy with the $2.20 bid said he could get closer to the lower bid, but it would not be a lesser quality fence.

| Ive broke a bid down and i think ive listed everything, I hope.
405 61/2 steel post 4.89 each
114 5 inch treated post 8.50 each
24 6inch post 11.00 each
20 rolls 12 1/2 gauge barb wire 63.50 each
24 brace pins 1.00 each
3 rolls brace wire 11.00 each
steeples( guessed 25.00)
Fence labor 1.oo ft
Braces installed 10.00 each
Total comes to 9,975.45
This is all figured on flat ground with no rock or dozer work. All prices are with the materials that i have available to work with. Red cedar would be a better post but not as easy to get as treated post and will still cost the same unless you cut your own and dont count your time. |

Washington, Kansas | i build pature fence part time with a partner we put up about 5 to 10 miles a year and charge 1.50 per foot labor that is about the cheapest around here we have lots of rock all wood post have to be dug with a auger. some guys charge almost 3.00 per foot. |

North Cental Mo. | I took it that you didn't think a person could build the fence themselves for $10,000 per mile. When I was looking last night, I kinda rough figured $.90 foot materials and a buck for labor coming in under $2.00 a foot, I was using 5.5' steel posts @ $4 .30, but I also had more expensive wood posts, so that's about a wash. On flat ground with a digger and a loader of some sort two guys can make pretty short work of a quarter of fence, so $1 for labor is plenty. IMHO.
Some of y'all keep mentioning having to use an auger because of rocks,,, I use an auger period, and use hedge for corners and line posts. I know that is kind of a locality issue
