Asking for a paling fence price in Melbourne is similar to asking how long is a bit of rope. There are too many variables to consider to give an accurate quote without actually seeing the job fence site.
Sure, many a paling fence contractor in Melbourne will have a standard price per metre but that fence price will certainly rise if certain conditions exist. There are quite a few and I will cover some of them here for you to make your decision easier.
1. Easy Access To Site
Can the fencer access the site easily and by this I mean the location of the paling fence. There could be vines or creepers etc that cover most of the fence. Obviously this will have to removed.
2. Immovable Objects Next To The Fenceline
There could be a structure like a small shed or a childs cubby house situated right on the fenceline. Most times this is not a problem if the fence palings are on that side of the fence. The paling fence contractor will check with both neighbours to see if it is alright to put the palings on the other side. Another option is that the fencer will simply make up a section of the fence offsite and put it up onsite.
3. Length Of Fence
If the job you are needing is only a short distance some contractors will inflate the paling fence price. For example, some would quote $25/metre for over 50 mtrs of fence but $38/mtr for short distances. Be aware of this.
By reading this I hope you have an understanding of why there is a fair bit involved in getting a paling fence price. You are now armed with information that will help you make an educated decision when picking a paling fence contractor.
