What to Expect in Your Fencing Project
Fencing cost comes down to material, length, terrain, and gates. Here's how the common options compare and what to have ready.
Chain-link
The most economical option and a workhorse for security, pet containment, and property lines. Available galvanized or vinyl-coated (black or green), in residential and commercial gauges. Fast to install and low-maintenance.
Wood
Cedar and pressure-treated wood give a classic look and full privacy. Costs more than chain-link and needs occasional staining or sealing, but it's easy to repair board by board.
Vinyl and composite
Vinyl and composite fencing cost more up front but shrug off rot, insects, and repainting. Composite in particular mimics wood grain while holding up to weather — a low-maintenance choice for the long haul.
What affects the cost
- Linear footage and fence height
- Material (chain-link vs. wood vs. vinyl vs. composite)
- Number and type of gates (walk gates vs. drive gates)
- Ground conditions — rock, slope, or existing fence removal
- Post setting method and any permit or survey requirements
What to have ready
- Approximate length of fence you need (a rough perimeter is fine)
- Your preferred material and height
- How many gates and where
- Whether an old fence needs removing first, and any known property-line details
