Hi All,

I'm looking to get a nice fence built around my back yard (maybe 150-170 linear foot), 6 ft tall or so. I live in Elgin, Kane county. Do you know any reputable builders in the area that will work for a fair price? Any insight into fence building?

Thanks!

do it yourself, me and my dad put one up in my yard.  roughly 34 posts, and 31 6ft tall panel sections.  we did it in 2 days, first day we dug and sank the posts (we useds a gas powered 2 man post hole digger).  let the posts sit for a week, then put the panels up the following week, well worth it to do it ourselves and just pay for cost of materials

How much did the materials end up costing you?

If you decide to have one built send me a PM. I am having one installed, simply because I can't do it myself yet because of I had my hip replaced.
