I have just completed an 8' high 2km long fence.
The job became very boring indeed.
The longest fence you have ever built? - How long was it?

We re-aligned a road in St.Helens about 20 years ago, and from memory, that was around 1km, possibly 1.2km, which involved taking down a steel palisade fence that was 2.8 m high and re-erecting it 4 m back from the original line to make room for the widened road and school-kid friendly footpath that formed the main part of the job.
I only did a couple of days on it, setting out and establishing safety protocol, and then left one of my gangers to supervise most of the physical work. No point having a dog and barking yourself!

One of the Biggest jobs i've done was a 2.5 km fence, 8 foot steel palisade fence, during the Winter last year.
Was a right son of ***** aswell. knee deep in liquid mud. Post holes filling with water, Concrete taking over 2 weeks to set hard enough.
The Conditions were atrocious (sp?) we got our 5 tonne Terex site dumper stuck. Had the Wrong gates delivered. etc etc.
Cost over £100,000 apparently. and by all accounts, the Main gates have only just been fitted.
