$13 to $55 per linear foot
Fence installation cost for any material has a typical figure of $23 per linear foot, within a sourced range of $13 to $55 per linear foot. The ranges on this page come from two sources, Angi and HomeGuide, and the two differ, with HomeGuide's low figures well above Angi's. The material drives the price. Use the figure as a starting budget, not a quote.
By fence material, per linear foot
Each row combines one range from each of the two sources. Only Angi's overall row has a stated average, so it sets that row's typical figure; the material rows use the median of the two midpoints. HomeGuide's figures are for new installation, and its chain-link figure comes from its summary table.
| Fence material | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any fence material | $13.00 | $23.00 | $55.00 |
| Wood | $15.00 | $31.00 | $48.00 |
| Vinyl (PVC) | $23.00 | $36.00 | $50.00 |
| Chain-link | $8.50 | $22.00 | $35.00 |
| Aluminum | $21.00 | $52.00 | $83.00 |
| Wrought iron | $38.00 | $54.00 | $70.00 |
| Composite | $15.50 | $40.00 | $65.00 |
Installed price per linear foot by material. The median rule combines the two supplied ranges, and typical is the median of the stated averages, or of the source midpoints where none is stated.

Estimate your fence
To measure, walk the property line or the planned run and add up its length in feet, leaving out stretches that will not get a fence. Enter that length and choose a material. Area level picks a part of the sourced range; it is not a local price.
Typical estimate
$3,450
Estimated range, not a quote
$2,700 to $5,850
For 150 linear feet. Typical $23 per linear foot.
Assumptions
- Installed base: Any fence material.
- Quantity: 150 linear feet.
- Per-linear foot prices are multiplied by 150; flat extras are added once and per-linear foot extras once for each linear foot.
- Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
- No applicable extras included.
- Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
- Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.
Where these numbers come from

Per linear foot figures for new installation
The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For two sources, the median is the mean of the pair. Typical is the median of the stated averages, or of the source midpoints where none is stated. Per linear foot figures round to the nearest quarter dollar below twenty dollars and the nearest dollar from twenty up to one hundred. The estimator multiplies the per linear foot figures by your fence length and rounds the totals to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above it, with exact halves rounded up.

How to read this estimate: it is a planning range for the length and material you choose, not a quote. Compare written quotes for the same material, height and length, and ask whether gates, removal of an old fence and permits are included. Keep the source dates beside the comparison.
