pipe fence

I like it because it is new pipe to start with and it is clean and fast to weld and not magnetized..  I can warranty it for 10yrs that way too.. I wont even think of doing any kind of a warranty on used pipe...!!!  

  This V-mesh is just expensive stuff.. This company is always high but this is the product the customer wants..  Its not standard horse fence or woven wire...

   Man I sure hope this work keeps rolling in..!!  I had a ( DEAD !!!!! )  fall and winter and in the last three weeks the phone is going crazy... Its not really the work I want to be doing but if the money starts rolling in I'm NOT going to complain..!! 

  If the Good Lord wants to bless me with a pile of fence and buildings and they are willing to pay... By golly I'm going to get knee deep in it and be smiling the whole time..!! LOL

  I have had times like this and think I am on top of the world than it all go's away over night.. I'm not counting my chickens before they are hatched.. Till I get the First draw to start a job I keep looking for work..LOL

I am using concrete for my posts. 8" auger 30" deep.. I'm bidding it using new reject 2 3/8 pipe which is more expensive than used drill stem by about 50 to 75 cents a foot depending when and where I buy it.. The best I can get new reject for is $1.80 for .180 wall.. Do you guys know where I can get it cheaper..?? 15,000ft of pipe adds up quick..!!I like it because it is new pipe to start with and it is clean and fast to weld and not magnetized..

Subject: RE: Tell me About Steel Pipe for Fence Posts

Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251

We have what sounds like a similar ground issue with fence. We have a layer of clay that causes a perched water table and it rots off wood posts right below ground level. Used railroad ties don't last 10 years.

Years ago I bought all the steel pipe fencing from a closed feed lot. The pipe had been in the ground for 25 years when I pulled it all out and looked great, so we started using it and really like it. One of the best things is how fast it goes in the ground. So much less labor. You can drive the posts and weld it all up before you can get wood post holes dug and tamped. We use fence like you see in the photo with a top rail pipe anywhere it goes through woods, or in a crowd situation. For bigger pens we just use sucker rods with no top pipe. The top rail pipe really makes it look better, so we also do that close to the house to please my wife. For long straight runs we will use barb wire or woven, but we still use steel pipe posts every so often and pipe braces. It seems like the shorter the length of barb wire fence you build, the more apt it is to get loose over time, so more and more we just drive pipe every 8 feet and sucker rod those short stretches. I don't have much time to build fence, so I have a local guy that builds it for me. He charges $100.00 an hour which includes his welding truck, and a skid loader and post driver. It cost a lot less to have him build a pipe fence than a wood post one. It's amazing how much he gets done in a $800.00 day.

I will never go back to any sort of wood post fence.

You can't say I didn't post enough pictures of our fences.....
