Fencing Cost Guide

Wood, vinyl, and chain-link fence costs.

A new fence is one of the more affordable exterior projects homeowners take on, but total cost varies widely by material and length. HomeAdvisor reports an average project cost of $3,270, while per-linear-foot pricing from Fixr shows chain-link as the most budget-friendly option and wrought iron and vinyl as the priciest. Before installing any fence, confirm your property line — a land survey costs $200 to $545 per HomeAdvisor, considerably less than the cost of removing and rebuilding a fence placed on the wrong side of a boundary. Local permits and HOA rules commonly apply too. For a full sourced cost breakdown and a calculator by length and material, see our complete fencing cost guide below.
