Of course, you can save a little money by installing it yourself. We recommend that you hire a professional to get it done right, as the labor is not worth much. Otherwise, each fence has a different material cost.

In this article, we'll break down the cost of each type of fence installation so you can create a budget.

 

What it boils down to is that your fencing costs depend on your fencing options. Fence Installation Labor costs range from $30 to $50 per hour, which includes multiple workers. Having a professional install your fence will save time and money because they will complete the installation quickly and your fence will require less maintenance on the road.

On top of that, your contractor will receive discounts on parts that they can extend to you. Plus, they're familiar with how to tackle utilities and read building permits.

With that said, let's take a look at what you can expect to pay for materials.

 

How much does it cost to install the fence of your dreams?

 

Wire Mesh

Barbed wire is a popular option for those who want to save money from vinyl and wood fencing. It allows access for small animals and children and has low startup maintenance costs. This type of fence can also be used aesthetically with wooden slats to add character.

You can expect to pay about $2,500 for a basic wire fence that extends no more than a quarter mile. The results show a difference of only $2 per linear foot.

 

Wood Fences

Because you can use different types of wood, wood fences are difficult to break down. For example, cedar costs only $1.50 per board or fence panel. Redwood, on the other hand, sells for about $8.00 each.

However, wood offers a great deal of security and privacy. It does require more maintenance than other fence types, including regular staining or painting. A well-built wood fence should last 15-25 years.

 

Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing is a durable option. The cost per linear foot ranges from $22 to $32, with an average run of about $2,000 to $5,000 per yard.

Aluminum fences require little maintenance and are rust resistant. With proper installation, these fences will last for decades.

 

Chain Link / Metal

Chain link or metal fencing is the most cost effective option for new fencing. It can be run anywhere from $1,100 to $2,300 for the base yard, or $14 to $19 per linear foot installed.

This durable fence is easy to install, and you can choose from several different styles, including metal coated, color coated, and estate fence, which is a steel fence. Manor fencing has a slightly different design than regular chain link. Metal coated and color coated materials are more aesthetically pleasing.

 

Vinyl Fencing

Although vinyl fencing has a higher upfront cost, it pays for itself in low maintenance and longevity. You can expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 for a small yard. This is based on a cost factor of $10 to $25 per linear foot of material.

It is important to note that vinyl should not be installed if you receive heavy snow or extremely cold temperatures in the winter. Vinyl can become brittle in the cold.

 

Pool Fencing

If you have a pool in your backyard, you will need a fence. You can use chain link, wood, vinyl or aluminum fencing to protect your pool area, but remember that you will also need at least one gate. This will cost more, but we'll get to that later.

If you live in a community without a fence, you will need at least a pool fence that meets specific safety codes. These may include the base height and the space between the steel bars.

Most homeowners use aluminum fencing in their pool areas. Remember, it only needs to be four feet high so you can save a little money on materials. The perimeter of a pool fence is usually about 200-350 feet.

 

Wrought Iron Fences

The most expensive but absolutely luxurious option is wrought iron fencing. It runs anywhere from $100 to $300 per linear foot, but is also the most secure type of fence.

Cooked iron is prone to rusting, so it is not recommended for use in rainy weather. It can also be easily dented and dented, making it a secondary material for pets and children.

 

Gates

Adding a gate is where the cost of your fence starts to really add up. Of course, even if you don't have a pool, you may want a gate to your yard, so it's important to budget for this cost.

A four-foot swing-away chain link gate costs about $100 in materials and installation. A larger door on a wheeled caster system will cost $800 to $1,000.

A single wood door and a double wood door will cost about $75 to $100 each. Vinyl, of course, becomes quite expensive. Depending on the type and size of the vinyl door, you can pay anywhere from $300 to $1,500.

 

In Summary

Keep in mind that the cost of your fence installation will vary depending on the size of your property. For example, it will take longer to complete a project larger than a pool fence.

If you don't need a fence, but want to keep animals or other people out by installing an electric fence, you can save some money. This is a task you should definitely leave to the professionals, as using electricity can be very dangerous.
