Barb Wire Fencing Cost

[walker1983]

We are looking at a new piece of property that will need to be fenced. It is completely unfenced, so the only additional costs to the labor and materials will be pushing a ROW.

Trying to build the budget now before finalizing the offer.

All in - what can I expect to pay for 4-strand barb wire fence per mile.

This would be 3 miles of new fencing in the Midland/Odessa area.

Thanks for the input.

I’m guessing $2.50 per foot or so for labor and material.

I was thinking closer to $4/ft in current market

I was looking at barbwire prices the other day and seemed going rate was $65-80/roll

You said four strand no way would I build a four strand for the outer fence
four wire just wont work. My outer fence around the property are 6 strand.
If the fence is built right it should last over 20 years. Keep vines brush off it.

Talk to your ascs office They may have some cost share money. I do know they require
a 6 strand fence. They also have a list of fence builders that build to their specs

Just had about 2400 ft of 5-strand barbwire done. It was around $2.75 per foot. It was in dirt with some rocky ground.

look back at post 4 I added something

We put in driven pipe line posts. Pipe for corners and gates
Joints of pipe have tripled in the last two years
I will check to see what it cost per foot for barbed wire. Much of ours was field fence.

^This
Outer fence should be at least 5 strands for a more secure perimeter

Yes, $2.50 was two years ago so I may be low. I would also do at least 5 wires, and I would have done galvanized tee post if I did it again. Make sure you get a firm answer on how the fence builder will charge for corners as it can add up.

NRCS will not help with exterior fence.

Last year it was 3.15/ft in Victoria with driven & welded pipe corners, pipe line posts every fifth post, and galvanized T posts. That was after I dozed and disposed of the old fence. With the costs of wire and posts right now, that has to have risen considerably.
