Quality Fence vs. Double Bee

[Dechrissen]

Anybody have experience with either of these two (Indiana-based, I'm pretty sure) companies?

I got a guy from Quality come out and quote me at "$30-$40" per foot for black vinyl chain link. Seems high, and I don't know why he gave me a range. I had a friend who had work done with Double Bee say they did his (black vinyl chain link) for $15 a foot.

Can anyone vouch for one company or the other? I have someone from Double Bee coming out next week for another estimate.

Expect the higher price. Anything with vinyl seems to be hard to get lately and more expensive than the average increase.

question why vinyl fence?

I'm pretty sure I had Quality fence do a fence for me on a house I sold. Owner was David, I think. He was the best price of the three I had quote the work. I was happy with the work when done. It was black vinyl. Nice and straight when done but did follow the up and down contour of the ground. I do forget the length and the price. The new buyers were from out of state, and they paid for it, I just arranged for the installation.

Well it's chain link. The vinyl I believe just refers to the black coating. Like here:

I see said the blind man.

I was thinking it was like the snow fence you would see in northern areas of the FUSA.

We (I) need a fence and a garage. Just paid for a year of college for the youngest daughter so my available funding was expended. Since I have no governance over what I install yet I wanted to go higher fencing than normal. Wood is down in price and I can dig holes or rent an auger. Was thinking of the cattle panels with wood trim.

I will follow this to see what you find out so please let me know what you decide.

Will do!
I have another estimate with Double Bee next week. Will come back here to update then.

I was going to go with wood initially, but then I learned of the maintenance associated with it, so I think we are going with chain link. If the cost of vinyl is truly why it's so high (he estimated 8-9K for the whole job, which is far too much) then I might just go with the base galvanized chain link.

We just bought a house, and I am not looking forward to having to pay for a fence so soon after... but the dog needs one.

We had a new modular put in and my first project was a fence for the dogs. Don't remember the cost but I went with wood and did it all myself. Jim.

I was going to go with wood initially, but I heard it's not worth it for the regular maintenance (sealing, staining regularly). What are your thoughts on this?

I just like wood and the privacy factor of it. Jim.

Dogs? What about invisible fence? Works w some dogs.

Barbed wire is an option.

Hmm my dachshund is strong-willed enough to walk right through it. Won't do.

Double Bee installed a 6 ft white vinyl fence in my back yard. No complaints. They did a good job and exactly the way I wanted it. This was pre Covid.

Quality put up a wood fence with cedar pickets for me a few years ago.

They did a great job, still nice and straight

Have you considered RedBrand fencing? Or are we talking HOA subdivision lot type property?

RedBrand — what's that? It's not an HOA, though, no.

They don't let dachshund owners in HOA's. Those dogs are to dangerous. I have seen them fight things twice there size with zero quarter given.

There is much truth in this post

This is what I have to keep behind the fence. He only likes family and card holding friends who were around when he was a pup.

It’s farm fencing available in various styles and openings, will run you about $330.00 for 350 feet.
it cab it can be used for a variety of application. Installed correctly it will keep things in or out for many many years. If you take your time and measure out post etc it looks really nice as well as functional.
