Hi All,
I am getting a piece of land fenced in and the purchase contract for the land specified concrete posts and chain link fencing. I have had 2 prices from fencing contractors (2 others did not bother to turn up to quote ;-()
One is quoting to drive hole then pack soil around the posts, the other is insisting that concrete fence posts really need to be set in concrete. The difference in price is about 15%. Both are putting 1.5 feet of the post in the ground.
This land will be basically "agricultural" as opposed to a garden and there will be cattle at the far side of the fence (with a strand of electric wire to keep them from pushing over the fence!)
Any opinions gratefully received.
