What Does a Privacy Fence Cost?



Most homeowners want to know what a privacy fence costs before signing the installation agreement or building it themselves. That’s completely understandable!


Most privacy fence installations are built using high-quality vinyl or durable wood for maximum seclusion. Both of these fencing materials are often priced per linear foot.

This means that a professional will need to know how big your yard is in order to give you an estimate of how much your privacy fence will cost. Fortunately, Latitude Fencing & Gates provides everyone with a FREE fencing estimate with no strings attached.


Of course, the best way to get a personalized and accurate privacy fence cost estimate is to contact our team, but HomeGuide.com suggests the average cost of building a vinyl privacy fence in vinyl is between $25-$40 per linear foot. However, wood privacy fences cost less than vinyl, ranging between $14 and $30 per linear foot.



What Are the Different Types of Privacy Fences?


For those who value aesthetics AND function, you’ll be thrilled to learn about the many types of privacy fences on the market! While there are several unique styles, colours, heights, and designs to choose from, the most popular privacy fences are vinyl, wood, and natural.


Types of Privacy Fences

  • Vinyl: The most popular type of privacy fence is vinyl. Due to its long lifespan, durable material, and maintenance-free advantages, it often ranks as the top choice for homeowners in suburban and rural areas. Not to mention, when building a privacy fence in vinyl, you can choose from dozens of combinations of styles and colours!

  • Wood: Another excellent choice for building a privacy fence is wood. The unique advantage of wood privacy fence styles is their highly affordable price tag! Although this type of privacy fence does require annual maintenance, it is still an attractive and economical way to add extra seclusion to your yard.

  • Natural: While it won’t necessarily keep your children or pets corralled and isn’t guaranteed to last for years like other types of privacy fences, a living fence is a great idea for adding solitude to your yard – plus a serene sense of nature.

Finding the suitable material for your privacy fence installation depends on your personal preference and price.
