HeijoshinCool Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 . I want to enclose the area immediately around my bungalow with a combination wall and fence. A rectangle 100' x 60'. Block on the lower section, and a painted cement board fence running horizontally on top of it. Lower section about 3-4 feet, upper section up to about 5 feet high. Block will sit on a small, poured footer, with rebar anchors.. I could do it myself but have too many other projects. I live rural, but should be able to find someone halfway qualified that with a bit of supervision, who can perform. About how much should I expect to pay someone for such a project? Better to go by the day than the project? Has covid changed pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Rabbit Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I wouldnt bother with block or paint, they go moldy quickly, just get concrete gravel boards and stack them to the required height, fast and simple, with slotted premade conc posts you can just use floor planks also, price dunno , even with these I have to jet wash them every 3 years or so Edited October 25, 2021 by Rampant Rabbit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) We had a 60cm or so block wall topped by 2m chain-link panels, posts about 2m spacing done about 1 year ago. The labor was B300/m. Wife did the painting (primer + 2 coats) and everything still looking good. Our front wall was also block with iron work on top. That was 10 years ago and the paint still looks good. No mold. Photo before paint: Edited October 25, 2021 by bankruatsteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
