- Labor: about half of a typical job.
- Over 7 feet: add the engineer's design and permit.
Example
A 150-foot, 6-foot wood privacy fence with one gate: $1,500 to $6,750 for the fence at national per-foot rates, plus the gate. Steel posts and a third rail push toward the top of that range.
Local cost drivers
- Caliche: holes that hit cemented layers take more time and equipment.
- Wind upgrades: steel posts, extra rails and better fasteners.
