How Much Does a Fence Cost?
A fence costs its length times your price per linear foot, the way fencing is usually quoted. The material sets the range: chain link is economical, wood is mid-range, and vinyl or aluminum cost more but need less upkeep. Height and terrain also affect the price. The calculator estimates the total from your price per linear foot, so enter a local rate for your material and height for an accurate figure.
How Is Fence Cost Measured?
Fence cost is measured per linear foot, because a fence is a run of a given length rather than an area. To estimate, you need the total length of the fence line and a per-foot price that includes posts, rails, panels or pickets, and installation. Gates are usually priced separately as units. The calculator multiplies your length by the per-foot price; add gate costs separately for the full total.
