How much does a fence cost per linear foot? It depends heavily on style: chain link and welded wire typically run the least per foot, wood is mid-range, and vinyl, composite, and aluminum tend to cost more per foot but require less long-term maintenance or offer more security. Labor typically adds 30-50% on top of materials cost.
How many fence posts do I need? Divide your total fencing length (after subtracting gate widths) by your post spacing, then add one for the final post. Gate openings use the posts on either side of them, so gates don't usually require extra posts beyond the normal line.
How much concrete do I need per post? Most residential fence posts use one 50 lb quick-set concrete bag per post, though taller fences (7 feet and up), larger posts, or loose soil may need two bags per post.
About these estimates: Default prices reflect typical 2026 US national averages and are meant as a starting-point estimate, not a formal quote — edit any price field with your own supplier or contractor quotes for a more accurate number. Actual prices vary significantly by region, supplier, fence style, ground conditions, and contractor. Always get quotes from local contractors before budgeting a project.
