It's not like building a fence is a 1 hour thing, it takes weeks of planning. You could have approached them first and stated that if they don't discuss details with you you're aren't paying. I'm sure they would've responded positively.

You kind of have a point there, but at the end of the day, if the guy who's building the fence can't be bothered to talk to whoever he thinks is going to pitch in BEFOREHAND, he pretty much deserves to be stiffed afterward.
Maybe some people don't care about a fence and would rather drop that grand on a vacation. Or maybe an RESP for their kids. Just because you want a fence doesn't mean I do. You can't just go spending my money without asking me first. If a neighbour pulled a stunt like that on me, I probably wouldn't even be polite. It'd be a hearty laugh as I shut the door in his or her face.
