Is $10,000 to install deer and rabbit fencing with 1 or 2 strands above wire fencing a fair price?
Project Details
I have about 650 feet of property that needs fencing primarily to keep deer and rabbits out. I live on a slope, so I've been told the fence needs to be 7-8 feet high to be effective against deer. My property is mostly orchard, and I'm not too concerned about rabbits. The total height with the wire fence rolls and strands would be 8 feet, which I hope is enough even with deer jumping downhill. I'm comparing bids, with some around $10,000 and one at $5,500. The main difference seems to be the number of strands above the wire fencing, with the lower bid using 3 strands instead of 1 or 2, which appears to be a cost-saving measure. I'm also considering the type of posts, as other bids included wooden round posts with H braces on the corners, but I don't see the advantage of those over the metal posts.
