I’m not sure we are allowed do discuss fences or walls on TBN for political reasons. However, this fence looks like something that will make for good neighbors! Haha
Nice work! Is it a bolt together project or are you having to weld it in place? How are you digging and setting the posts?

The panels are bolt together. Some parts are 6' tall, 4' tall and 3' tall. With panels length from 4' long up to 12' long. All powder coated.
The post on the 6' tall, panels and gates are 1/4" x 4" x 4" and have a 6" H beam cross welded on to the bottom.
For the 3' and 4' tall panels, the post are 1/8" x 3" x 3" with a 6" H beam x 12" long welded on at 90 degrees with the way the fence runs. Then set 24" deep with 80 to 160 lbs of concrete per post.
All the digging was done by hand. One of those jobs that it would take more time/cost more to move equ in and out.
Here is a close up of the gates.
And having good employees is a plus too.

A nice fence really improves the look of a place. How wide is your gate? Most of mine are 12 feet, but when I modified my fence to get my round bales into the horse pasture, I had posts set at 8 feet apart, so I put in my first 16 foot gate and like that width a lot better!!!

The gates are 7' wide each. Total open 14'.
This picture shows how close we got them lined up.

Very nice looking , we are fixing to do a entry gate to our place this fall, this gives more food for thought. So do you provide the “work “ boots for you4 employees or do they provide there own, may have to look into a set of those. 
Was this a pre fab set up from a company or something you designed and had built?

She had a AM college class and showup at work in flip flops. That was the only other shoes she had with her.
I designed and built the gates/fence.
We plan on getting the other 30' installed next Friday.
Today we are building sheep/goat lambing/kidding pens.
My CNC plasma cutter computer went down last week and I am waiting for IT to call, to help setup the new one.
