How much does it cost to install the fence of your dreams?

Of course, you can save a little money by installing it yourself. We recommend that you hire a professional to get it done right, as the labor is not worth much. Otherwise, each fence has a different material cost.

In this article, we'll break down the cost of each type of fence installation so you can create a budget.

 

What it boils down to is that your fencing costs depend on your fencing options. Fence Installation Labor costs range from $30 to $50 per hour, which includes multiple workers. Having a professional install your fence will save time and money because they will complete the installation quickly and your fence will require less maintenance on the road.

On top of that, your contractor will receive discounts on parts that they can extend to you. Plus, they're familiar with how to tackle utilities and read building permits.

With that said, let's take a look at what you can expect to pay for materials.

 

How much does it cost to install the fence of your dreams?

 

Wire Mesh

Barbed wire is a popular option for those who want to save money from vinyl and wood fencing. It allows access for small animals and children and has low startup maintenance costs. This type of fence can also be used aesthetically with wooden slats to add character.

You can expect to pay about $2,500 for a basic wire fence that extends no more than a quarter mile. The results show a difference of only $2 per linear foot.

 

Wood Fences

Because you can use different types of wood, wood fences are difficult to break down. For example, cedar costs only $1.50 per board or fence panel. Redwood, on the other hand, sells for about $8.00 each.

However, wood offers a great deal of security and privacy. It does require more maintenance than other fence types, including regular staining or painting. A well-built wood fence should last 15-25 years.

 

Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing is a durable option. The cost per linear foot ranges from $22 to $32, with an average run of about $2,000 to $5,000 per yard.

Aluminum fences require little maintenance and are rust resistant. With proper installation, these fences will last for decades.

 

Chain Link / Metal

Chain link or metal fencing is the most cost effective option for new fencing. It can be run anywhere from $1,100 to $2,300 for the base yard, or $14 to $19 per linear foot installed.

This durable fence is easy to install, and you can choose from several different styles, including metal coated, color coated, and estate fence, which is a steel fence. Manor fencing has a slightly different design than regular chain link. Metal coated and color coated materials are more aesthetically pleasing.

 

Vinyl Fencing

Although vinyl fencing has a higher upfront cost, it pays for itself in low maintenance and longevity. You can expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 for a small yard. This is based on a cost factor of $10 to $25 per linear foot of material.

It is important to note that vinyl should not be installed if you receive heavy snow or extremely cold temperatures in the winter. Vinyl can become brittle in the cold.

What protective measures are used for border protection?

Border obstruction facilities are an important line of defense for border control and prevention of the import of overseas epidemics. Relevant departments must actively coordinate, track and implement, and complete the construction of border obstruction facilities on time. It is necessary to improve the level of border control, do a good job in the management and maintenance of comprehensive border control and obstruction facilities, and severely crack down on acts that destroy border obstruction facilities.   Along the border, physical obstruction facilities have been erected along the Nanlan River, and the Arrival Frontier Joint Defense Station is under construction. Maximize the blocking role of physical defense facilities; construct at the fastest speed and use physical defense facilities as a basic project for the construction of a three-dimensional border prevention and control system to speed up the construction of physical blocking facilities and border defense stations to ...

Why is "it" so popular during the epidemic?

China's speed has created another miracle. A 500-kilometer steel great wall was erected overnight on the Yunnan border. In order to protect the country and block the spread of the virus, it is the focus of epidemic prevention and control. Yunnan speeds up the construction of physical blocking facilities and the border defense station to ensure that the task is completed on time. ; On the basis of existing standards, the construction standards of key parts and important passages should be improved in accordance with the standards. The physical defense facilities built should be reinforced and upgraded, and the border epidemic prevention and control network should be woven densely. For effective, easy-to-install, and relatively inexpensive prevention and   control facilities such as barbed wire , they should be arranged wherever the conditions are met, and they should be arranged as soon as possible.     The Great Wall of Steel for Epidemic Prevention at the Yunnan Border u...
