Re: Pipe Fence


You are asking a rather ambiguous question with a lot of variables.

Simply with what you've given: How much you want by the hour divided by how many feet of fence you can fab/weld in an hour.

If you want $75 and hour and can fab/weld 25 feet in an hour, you need $3 a foot.

Re: Pipe Fence


The answer relies on too many variables for the information given. My site has hundreds of per foot prices for different fencing. I have a page for schedule 40 piping with plenty of prices.

Re: Pipe Fence


Careful there, Profence, so far you've dredged up two dead threads in order to push your website/online store. This is not the forum to market yourself. If you wish to sell to the members here, talk to Nathan about ad space.

If you continue to try and skirt around the ad rules in place, your posts will be deleted and your account banned.

This is your first warning.

Thank you,

Mac

Re: Pipe Fence


Thanks for the warning. The site is for a local company. There is no way for me to monetize it by mentioning it on here. Both threads asked for per foot price suggestions and the site was made to be a resource for contractors trying to get per foot price ideas. It should be a helpful resource. New to this and just wanted to be helpful. Again, thanks for the warning.

Re: Pipe Fence


Whenever they offer "help" I charge extra. Sounds like can of worms imo.
