Re: Reasonable $ per meter for fencing 3Jan 28, 2010 10:23 pm We got ours done for $53pm. Another quote came in at $56 so $90 does seem high. 1.8m high.

Re: Reasonable $ per meter for fencing 6Jan 29, 2010 6:32 am we are in taylors hill melbourne. The $90 quote was for 1.8m fence no capping but we want and can have 1.93m. Do the quotes youve all been saying cover everything from bringing the wood and installing? Thanks Re: Reasonable $ per meter for fencing 8Jan 29, 2010 8:42 am South Morang; two sections, one around $57 / metre, the other around $59 / metre, all material included. We were charged an extra fee toward the hire of a rock breaker by the second, but compared to the charges I've seen per hole for rock removal, we came off easily. I can't remember exactly, but the overall cost increased by around a couple of dollars a meter.

I believe you need to source the neighbours contact details from the council and some companies will then contact the neighbours if you provide the details and some wont 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
