Wondering what a good deal would be...Ive gotten quotes anywhere from 4-5k for 260' of cedar fence with steel posts and a gate...storm shelters from 2500-3500 :think2:

I put up a cedar fence about 3.5 years ago at my house. And I think it was about 250 ft........I did the panels on the edges and back of fence and slats on the street side of house. I think the panels were about $40ish a piece, the metal post were $17-18 each, and the 1x6 slats were a couple bucks each. I rented a 2 man auger to dig holes. Bought a bag of concrete per hole which ended up being way to damn much. A friend and I did starting Friday evening and finished late Sunday night......hard ass work but the fence has held up well

To answer your question though, I did get a few bids on having it done and they ranged from $15ft-$17ft

6' cedar fence, includes fencing, posts set in concrete, hardware and labor to install in OKC is running $13.54/lf right now. That's $5.46/material, $7.84/labor, $0.24/equipment. Assumes 5% waste. Equipment for concrete mixer rental and post hole diggers. Labor rate $48.90/hour includes company overhead. 3-4' lf gate are $165.30. About $3700 + tax on material and permit.

Ive got a national contractor database for average pricing. Let me know if need other details or prices or what not. Costs in OKC are obviously gonna be inflated for a few months on exterior products especially.
