steven100 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) To build a fence around the house similar to this one .. approximately 80m ( Phetchabun area ) A fair quote for this fence would be ? 1,200 / m 1,500 / m ? Would 2.2 be too high ? 600 mm in ground , block 1.2 m Shara board 1.0 m Edited August 26, 2015 by steven100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 1200/m seems about right, thats what I paid, but added extra for wrought iron style panels between the posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 In 10 years of living here in my mooban and looking around I would go for some style of wrought iron or if you can afford it stainless steel. Forget that "simple" conwood/shera wood stuff especially the thinner stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalabob2 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm a real advocate of stainless steel for a fence. If it is a proper grade you never have to paint it and it will not rust. The stainless steel cleaner is from 3M is widely available and I've had success with the Makro house brand of stainless steel cleaner. There is a thicker grade of Diamond Wood, Conwood and Sherawood for a good quality fence available at any builders merchants store.It clearly shows in the printed catalogs the use as a fence board, and not as a siding board. I've seen attractive fences done with Thai Sun resin fiber planking in Buriram Province. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 About 6 years ago we did a wall of about 250 metres at 1.5 metres high which worked out at about 1000 baht/metre. We bought all the materials and recruited the labour which was about half and half. I would think that now a price of around 1300 baht /metre would be reasonable. I would suggest that you get a price for getting the job done and not as we did. In the beginning we had no problem with labour but as the job got near completion the labour disappeared to other work and we had a problem getting it finished.

That way there is no issue with labour or materials .. the responsibility is on the builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I seriously think the stainless steel idea would be too expensive for my like although it would be nice. I'll do the block / cement / Sherawood but I'll cover the concrete posts in a dark sandstone brick and add a sandstone figure head in the middle of each space just for enhanced looks. Total cost will be around 100k for 80m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sirineou Posted August 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2015 1200/m seems about right, thats what I paid, but added extra for wrought iron style panels between the posts. I second this about four years ago my fence cost me about 1200 bht per m in Khon Kaen 500 bht per m for labor, I bought all the material picture from when it was being build, sides and back are solid 2m high, front has pickets . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would probably be around 1300 baht / meter now I guess. How deep was the concrete beams for the footings / foundations ? was it .600 mm ?

It does not matter how much anyone likes real wood, it is a natural material and will dry out and warp in due course. Penalty of too much sun.

bankruatsteve Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I tell you what, most Thai "contractors" will look at the sky and think of how much money they could make on a "farang" project. For most projects, including walls, there's usually a "good" local construction worker that you can pay B400-500 per 8 hour day to just do it. Maybe a helper or two for less. You pay for material, he does the labor and most likely you will both be happy with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 80M of fence in stainless might cost him more than the house it surrounds Plus it would look like a Pakistani owned the house. For some reason they love it. They think it looks classy and expensive. See lots of it in England in places like Bradford and Southall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
