How to use this
Materials costs include the wire, boards, or strands plus line posts at commodity prices. Corners carry braces and are priced separately because they do the real work — a bad corner pulls a whole run loose.
Labor is a rough contractor estimate at $2/ft. Doing it yourself removes that line — budget a weekend per 300-400 ft with a tractor auger, double that with a hand post-driver.
Formula
line_posts = ceil(perimeter ÷ spacing) − corners
materials = perimeter × $/ft
total = materials + corners + gates + labor
