An Estimate of Wood Fence Prices

If you are planning to build a wood fence, you may be wondering how much it will cost you. The price of building wooden fences is going to vary based on several different factors. For example, the type and grade of wood used will affect the cost. So will the size of your fence. It goes without saying that a larger fence is going to cost more to build than a smaller one. However, you can estimate wood fence prices and get a basic idea of what your investment is going to be. The first step of estimating the cost is pricing the wood.

For a wood fence, you can expect to pay around twelve dollars for each foot of your fence. Of course, this figure may be less or more depending on the factors described above. The height of your fence has a lot to do with the price. It's estimated that a picket fence with a height of four feet would cost around nine dollars per foot, while a privacy fence with a height of six feet would cost around thirteen dollars per foot. Of course, this cost will fluctuate depending on the grade and type of wood you use. For fencing you should choose a high quality hardwood. Cedar and redwood represent the most popular fence building materials.

Then there are the other materials. They will also contribute to the cost of your fence. Some of the tools and supplies used for fence building include a hammer, nails, power saw, hand saw, gravel, concrete, concrete mixing tools and a tool for digging your fence post holes. If you own many of the tools necessary to build a fence your cost will be less. If you have to buy or rent the tools your cost will be more.

Perhaps you have no intention of building your own fence. In that case you can hire a contracting company or even a handyman to do the job for you. The company will evaluate your needs and provide you with an estimate of wood fence prices based on what you want. You may want to talk to a few different contractors and compare estimates, especially if they offer them for free. Comparison shopping is a great way to get the job done for the most affordable price. Just make sure the contractor you deal with has the proper licenses and is able to provide references.
