I think I paid 37 or 38 per foot for my fence install... no old fence to remove though.

^^ Per LINEAL foot? For cedar?? Is that including material itself? If so, that's incredibly cheap compared to OPs unit rates, which were sq.ft and for PT wood. That is, unless your quote is for a 1-2' high fence or just labour alone.

The quote I got was more than double that
That ain't Cedar.

First off, read p.2 of the thread. The OP even said it was PT.Originally posted by Sugarphreak
I was going off the comments in that thread. There are a bunch of people commenting on how cheap it is for cedar.
Also trying to figure out if my existing fence is cedar or not... I just want them to match it, not invent a new style
As for determining what your existing one is, sniff it - if it smells like a sauna, it's cedar. Otherwise, it's likely PT.
EDIT: The guy from the other thread's price was for a new install only. So if your $70/ft includes removal of the old one AND supply & install of a cedar fence, I'd say that's not a bad deal.

I'd say, 90% of fences in this city are PT or chain link. Cedar if you're a baller or its extremely small yard.
Yeah my price were on PT. Go check out the 2x4 8ft cedar prices. Crazy.
PT is green initially and changes to a brown in the sun and environment.
Guessing it's PT or else a stained regular spruce wood.
Don't go stained... Too much upkeep.

IIRC cedar is about 3x the cost of PT.
*edit* nope, i was wrong, a 1x6x6 PT is $2.95, while a 1x6x6 Cedar rough face is $3.60, so the cost is not too big of a gap any longer.

Are ALL your posts rotten? If not, just replace only the ones that need to be replaced and maybe a few boards here and there.
Step 2: Profit!

So a new build?
Price seems steep if it's pressure treated. Biggest hassle is always removing the old posts.
SpikerS and I could hammer that fence out for cheaper than $70/ft for sure.

Aren't you currently an unemployed alcholic? Just build it yourself.

Had a pressure treated fence built in October for $39ft. Gates came in at $320.00 each. We used 4x4 for the posts.

Forgot to mention I used http://www.jenron.ca. Owners name is Steve. No deposit paid. I left town for a week and came home and the fence was done with zero issues. I did receive some other quotes higher and lower. I made sure to stay clear of companies looking for large deposits. If a company can't float the cost of materials on a project like this I choose to avoid them.

no kidding. for $70/LF, you would have a pretty baller fence if you or I did it.Originally posted by mr2mike

Hey! Thats my fence you quoted. Everything mo_money said is true. No old fence to remove... and it is, indeed, PT.Originally posted by mo_money2supe

I still have a tough time believing that a builder supplied a cedar fence.
Can you post some pictures that capture the wood grain and ends of some of the current fence?
