i am in dire need of a new stockade. i have one there now so, a little bit of the groundwork is already done. the previous owners did a pretty crappy job, so the holes prob need to be revisited. anyone have experience doing this? i would buy all of the material and all. i just need a little knowhow and help installing. i have a decent sized yard, 16-18 6’ sections. but its nothing too crazy. anyone? price?
It is a lot of work. you should be sure to get a gas auger if you are putting in your own posts, stain the fence in the garage before putting on the posts (you will be happy you did!)
Get your posts good and level in the hole, then brace with a 2x2 screwed to a stake, fill the hole with dry concrete, re-level, then mount your fence panel and recheck level again. Once you are sure that it is all good, get the dry crete wet.
Lots more tips, but I have to get back to work.
you seem to know a lot about this…want to make a few bucks? lol
Not really. I mean I will if no one elses steps up, but I just put in a bunch of sections. It took all afternoon to get the area cleaned up, the holes dug, the poles balanced and the wall up. I would say that you are looking at about 6-8 hours of work not including tear out of the old fence and pre staining of the new fence. That is based on two to 3 guys.
If you want me to come out and do it, I have one other guy that would be able to help me. Pm me what you are thinking you want to spend to have it done and I will talk to him. Also when you want to have it done.

i might pm you later. it wouldnt be until like the first weekend in aug, or july 26. any idea on what to do with the old fence? it is painted so i dont think i can burn it. will i run into issues with the town (cheek)? i mean, that is a lot of fence to have to put somewhere. would someone want it you think?
I still have about 1/2 ton remaining on my quota for the buffalo transfer station. I am sure that I could make it go away.
