Cost by Fence Type
Every material has a different upfront cost, lifespan and upkeep. Here is how they compare, with links to each fence type.
Wood Privacy Fencing
About $25–$40 per foot for a 6-foot dog ear fence, more for shadowbox or board-on-board. The best value for full privacy, lasting 15–20+ years with regular staining. Wood privacy fencing →
Vinyl Fencing
About $35–$60 per foot for 6-foot privacy. Costs more up front than wood, but never needs staining or painting, so the lifetime cost is often similar. Vinyl fencing →
Aluminum Fencing
About $30–$65 per foot depending on height and style. The look of ornamental iron without the rust, popular for front yards, pools and HOA neighborhoods. Aluminum fencing →
Chain Link Fencing
About $12–$30 per foot galvanized, or $18–$38 for black vinyl-coated. The most cost-effective way to enclose a big yard or contain pets. Chain link fencing →
Farm Fencing
About $5–$12 per foot for woven wire and $15–$30 for board fence. Priced by wire or board type, corners, bracing and how much clearing the line needs. Farm fencing →
Gate Costs
Single walk gates typically run $300–$900; double drive gates $800–$3,000 depending on width and material. Gate installation →
What a Typical Backyard Fence Costs
Most Middle Tennessee backyards need about 150 linear feet of fence plus a walk gate. At typical 2026 ranges, that works out to roughly $3,750–$6,000 for 6-foot wood privacy, $5,250–$9,000 for 6-foot vinyl, $4,500–$8,250 for 4-foot aluminum, and $1,800–$3,300 for 4-foot chain link, before gates. Corner lots, slopes and drive gates will move those numbers.

Step 4
What Raises or Lowers Your Price
Two fences of the same length can be priced very differently. These are the biggest factors on Middle Tennessee properties.
Height, Material & Style
A 6-foot fence uses more material than a 4-foot fence. Board-on-board costs more than dog ear, and vinyl and aluminum cost more up front than wood.
Slope & Terrain
Hilly yards need stepped or racked sections and more labor to keep the fence line straight and the bottom gap even.
Rocky Ground
Much of Middle Tennessee has limestone just below the surface. Rock takes more time and equipment to set posts properly.
Gates, Tear-Out & Access
Each gate adds hardware and heavier posts. Removing an old fence typically adds $3–$8 per foot, and tight access or long travel distances add labor.
Is a Cheaper Fence Worth It?
The lowest bid usually gets there by setting posts shallow, skipping concrete, or using thinner boards and lighter hardware. It looks fine on day one. Two summers later the posts lean, the gate drags and you're paying again. We'd rather give you an honest price on a fence that lasts. Want to spread out the cost? See financing options.

Fence Cost FAQs
A 6-foot wood privacy fence typically runs about $25–$40 per linear foot installed in Middle Tennessee, and 6-foot vinyl privacy about $35–$60 per foot. For a typical 150-foot backyard, that is roughly $3,750–$6,000 in wood. Your free estimate gives you the exact number.
Wood is cheaper to install. Vinyl costs more up front but never needs staining or painting, so over 15 to 20 years the total cost is often similar.
