I have just completed an 8' high 2km long fence.
The job became very boring indeed.

About 90m of concrete post and featheredge!
Recently completed 2km of digging off wooden footpath edgers and replace with 150*50 PCC edgers and resurfaced the footpaths - now that got tedious after the first two weeks..........

A proposed housing development.
400 concrete posts concreted in with wire mesh welded to a steel frame between the posts to take it 6' high.
Then four rows of barbed wire overhanging outwards taking it up another couple of feet.
Building perimeter security fences is not much fun!

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.
