The property's slope is a significant factor in determining the price of a fence. A small slope may make it easier to grade the ground evenly to create a level fence line. To align the fence correctly, you will need to use special measurement and construction techniques. Although labor costs are higher, it is worth it to have a strong fence. A yard with many obstructions or angles will cost more to fence because more posts are required.
A privacy fence can be an option if you live on adjoining land or have backyard property. Wood and vinyl are the best options, but metal can also be used at a higher cost. The average price for a 150-foot privacy fencing is $2,750. It costs between $1500 and $8250. Other privacy fence options include adding lattice at the top or planting green-space friendly privet.
Trees may have to be removed in some cases to make it possible to put up a fence. An extensive root system can slow down the digging of fence-post holes and increase labor costs. Same applies to existing concrete and rocky soil. Additional equipment may be needed to bore through the bedrock if it is located below the post.
Budgeting for fence installation costs is simple. There are only a few other factors to consider. The cost of installing a fence to cover landscaping will rise if the yard is steep or has thick vegetation. The cost of installing a fence can increase if the builder needs to remove existing fencing or add extra posts or gates.
Some areas require that you obtain a fence permit prior to installing your fence. Apply for the fence permit early so the process doesn’t slow down.
For a fence to be less flammable, we recommend using gates made from a flame retardant material like iron, steel, and aluminum. Although wood gates can be very flammable, they are less likely to catch fire if they are installed with another metal.
Metal fences can be made of steel or aluminum. They can be assembled at home and transported in for installation. Metal fences are susceptible to rust and require minimal maintenance. Installing a metal fence costs between $35 and $60 per linear feet.
Wood fence posts made from quality lumber are made from various tree species. Once the trees have been cut down, the bark is removed and pieces of lumber are cut into usable lumber. Finally, the lumber has been pressure treated to increase its strength and durability.
Wood fencing, aside from being beautiful and natural, can be the most affordable option, usually costing between $10 and $15. However, it can become more costly when you install more rare and high quality wood species, such as redwood, which can run upwards to $25 per foot.
Before installing a new fence, you will need to remove your old fence. This will increase the project cost. To save money, you can remove the old fence yourself.
