What moves the price
- Material choice — concrete posts and hardwood panels cost more than softwood panels on timber posts.
- Fence height — taller fences need stronger posts, deeper holes and more timber per metre of fence.
- Complexity of the project — slopes, corners and hard ground mean more cutting and harder digging for each post.
- Site preparation — clearing vegetation and old posts along the line comes before any new fence goes in.
