Chain-link is cheapest and durable; wood privacy is the popular mid choice; vinyl costs more but skips maintenance; aluminum and wrought iron are ornamental and top of the range. Height and gates add cost.
How it’s calculated & sources
Cost = length × per-linear-foot rate × height factor, plus about $300 per gate. Estimates are then scaled by a regional construction-cost factor for your area (U.S. average = 1.00).
Cost ranges from 2025–26 national home-improvement data (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Fixr and industry guides); regional factors approximate RS Means-style city cost indices. Most homeowners pay \u2248 $23/linear ft \u2014 chain-link $10\u201325, wood $25\u201345, vinyl $20\u201340, aluminum $25\u201360.
Results update as you type and are estimates, not a quote — site conditions, permits, and finishes move the final number. Verify with local pros.
