How Much Does a Fence Cost?

Fencing is priced per linear foot installed. Typical US installed ranges:

MaterialPer linear ft (installed)
Chain-link$10 – $20
Wood$15 – $30
Vinyl$25 – $40
Aluminum$25 – $45

What Drives the Price

Height (a 6 ft fence costs more than 4 ft), gates, terrain and slope, post setting in concrete, and removal of an old fence all add to the total. Measure the full perimeter you want enclosed.
