๐Ÿ’ก How Much Does a Fence Cost?

Fence costs vary dramatically by material. Chain link is cheapest ($17/ft installed), wood privacy is mid-range ($27/ft), and wrought iron is most expensive ($60/ft). Height affects cost โ€” 8 ft fences cost 30% more than 6 ft.

Labor is typically 50โ€“60% of total fence cost. DIY can save significantly, but professional installation includes post-hole digging, alignment, and proper drainage. Add $200โ€“$500 for each gate. Permit costs vary by municipality ($50โ€“$200).

150 ft wood privacy fence, 6 ft tall: Material $1,800 + Labor $2,250 = $4,050 total ($27/ft). Vinyl same length: $6,450 ($43/ft).
