Our PVC fence quote was....
$10,000!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I want to cry. 
We can't put wood because our HOA doesn't allow it. The aluminum that looks like wrought iron was $7,000.
WTH did we buy a house with a nice big backyard for our DD if we can't FENCE it!! 
Vent over.
PS-If anyone in the NC area knows of a CHEAP fencing guy, please FM me.

Re: Our PVC fence quote was....
Your HOA doesn't allow wood fencing? that is strange!
I think PVC in general is pretty expensive down here, our last PVC quote was $7,000 and my yard isn't that big.
Can't give you any rec's...DH is going to put up our fence himself b/c its cheaper.
plus the last guy we hired to do our fence, ran off with our $

Re: Our PVC fence quote was....
Yeah it sucks that you are in NC. While things are generally cheaper down south, stuff like this I can see being more expensive since there is less competition between contractors.

I don't know about NC but here on LI it's MUCH cheaper to get quotes off season. My fence was $11-12K in the summer. We waiting for late Winter/Early Spring and it cost us thousands less.

It's about right! We had over 300ft and we did it for $8400 off season. But that was in NY so you should be a bit cheaper in NC. Labor is cheaper.
ETA. I know it may sound bad but they will "overcharge" you since you are a "Yankee" so..... negociate!!!!!!

Yup - this definitely happens. I am upstate and there are only a few people who do stamped concrete up here. Therefore, it's $$$$!
We are also looking to install PVC this fall, and I am so nervous to get quotes!!!

I know that PVC fencing is expensive. Hopefully Kevin's old boss can get that lower for you

Re: Our PVC fence quote was....
I know that my dh's boss charges about 200 for each 8 foot section. In the off season he usually charges a bit less. It also depends which pvc you picked. some styles are more expensive than others
