How It Works
- Measure the linear feet — Walk the fence line with a tape measure, or measure each side of the yard and add them up. Subtract the width of the house or garage where no fence is needed.
- Choose the fence type — Wood (affordable, classic), vinyl (low-maintenance), or chain-link (budget-friendly).
- Count the gates — Include every walk-through and drive-through gate. Each gate needs two sturdy gate posts.
- Read your materials list — Posts (spaced 8 ft apart), panels or sections, concrete bags, and gates — plus an installed cost range.
What Affects Your Fence Cost
- Material: Chain-link is cheapest, wood mid-range, vinyl premium — but vinyl needs almost no maintenance.
- Fence height: 6-ft privacy costs more than 4-ft picket or ranch rail.
- Terrain: Slopes, rocks, and tree roots increase labor time.
- Gates: Each gate adds hardware, extra posts, and labor.
- Old fence removal: Tear-out and disposal can add $3–$5 per linear foot.
Installed Cost Per Linear Foot
| Fence Type | Cost per Ft (Installed) | Gate Cost (Each) |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | $15 – $30 | $250 – $500 |
| Vinyl | $25 – $45 | $350 – $650 |
| Chain-link | $10 – $20 | $150 – $300 |

Fence Calculator FAQs
Measure the total linear feet of the fence line (each side of the yard added together), then subtract the width of any structures like the house or garage where fence isn’t needed. Add one gate for pedestrian access and a wider gate for driveways or equipment.
