FENCE INSTALLATION PER LINEAR FOOT

8/17/2018

 
​Fences are installed for various purposes such as marking boundary lines, enhancing security by deterring burglars, bring privacy to homeowners and adding value to your home. Fence installation price per linear foot will differ between a wide variety of materials. The cost depends on various factors.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT FENCING COSTS

Fence installation is usually priced by considering the measurement of materials per linear foot. The measurement per linear foot is no different from a per-foot measurement. The price is determined by the following:

PURPOSE OF THE FENCE

​The average cost of fencing can depend on the purpose of the fence. For example, the average cost of a privacy fence is between $3 and $13 per linear foot, whereas the cost of a security fence is between $15 and $40 per linear foot. 

MATERIALS

This is the main factor that determines the cost of fencing. Some fencing materials are cheaper than others. Chain link is the cheapest while aluminum is the most expensive. Buying the materials in bulk reduces the price because of a discount from the seller. 

​GRADING

Steep slopes or uneven land will cost more since it will require more work. Conversely, flat surfaces will definitely cost less. Some products are also suited for rugged or steep slopes. 

​HOA

HOA will require you to abide by its regulations, for example, the colors allowed. Certain fees may be charged by your HOA.

UTILITY LINES

​Locating the utility lines is essential before fencing begins. If not done, the lines can be cut which will lead to increased cost because of repair. Contact the respective utility companies or call 811. 

​PERMITS

​Contact your local municipality to inquire whether a permit is required. If so, the cost of the permit will apply. Depending on the area, the price may vary. You may decide to file for the permit yourself or the contractor can do so. 

OBSTACLES AND COMPLEXITY OF THE WORK

​Trees, rocks, and pre-existing structures are some of the ground condition factors that can inflate your fence installation prices. For a land that is devoid of all the obstacles, it is flat and accessible, price per foot may apply. 

​HIRING A PROFESSIONAL VS DIY

​If you decide to fence your yard by yourself, it will be cheaper since you will be saving on the labor costs. Otherwise, expect to pay workers $30 to $50 per hour. Alternatively, a professional can still install your fence although the cost will be higher. It is recommended that you get three estimates to compare, prior to hiring a fencing contractor. 

The following are some of the fencing costs for different materials:

Material                                             Price Per Foot
Aluminium          $20 - $30
Electric/Invisible                                      $1 - $6
Metal or Chain Link                                 $5 - $40
Barbed Wire                                            $1 - $6
Wood and Privacy                                   $10 - $20
