How to Estimate Wood Fence Cost (with Calculator)
A wood fence is still the top-selling residential fence in North America - and the one most likely to blow through your budget if you misjudge the material count. Between pressure-treated pine, western red cedar, and premium redwood, the per-linear-foot price can swing from $18 to $45 before you've even priced gates or hardware.
This guide walks through the five cost drivers that actually move your total - species, picket style, post burial depth, gate count, and local labor - and then hands you off to our Wood Fence Calculator to get a bid-ready material list in under a minute.
