Costs for 60ft garden fence with 6ft panels

[Muzzlehatch]

What would be a reasonable cost for a professional to take down and replace a 60ft section of garden fence with standard 6'x6' panels?

I already have the correct panels, so I only need the cost for the 8' posts and labour.

I'm trying to decide whether I should pay someone to do it, or just attempt it myself.

Concrete posts and kick boards, or wooden posts and no kick boards?

I would guess that the price will depend on things like how level, what the access is like ('Dont stand on my pretty flowers!'). How good are the panels - lots of cheap ones seem to shrink rather.

I did it myself with 6 panels last year - worst bit was removing the huge chunks of concrete holding the rotten old posts. (oh, and the asbestos sheeting someone used as edging...)

Wooden posts, concreted in. No idea what a kick board is

It's on a slight gradient, and the neighbour's garden has been untouched for years, so no real access issues. No asbestos, just weeds and climbers that will need uprooting (probably adding to the posts rotting in the first place).

Kickboards basily stops the fence touching the ground and rotting quicker through damp. Iwent for concrete posts and kickboard, now when fence needs replacing, just slide old panel out and new panel in. As another poster stated, really depends on the on the ground. I had 20 panels, posts and kickboards fitted, took 2 days £1200. Every man to their trade, not a job I think I would want to do, looks easier than what it must be.

Thanks for that. Having looked at it again last night, it seems a daunting task. I'm probably better off paying someone to do it properly, rather than risk damaging myself in the pursuit of failure. Hopefully the costs will be more or less proportional to yours.
