Enter the total length of the fence and the total cost of the fence into the calculator to determine the fence cost per foot.

## Fence Cost Per Foot Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Fence Cost Per Foot.

FCF = TFC / FL
• Where FCF is the fence cost per foot ($/ft) • TFC is the total fence cost ($)
• FL is the total fence length (ft)

To calculate the fence cost per foot, divide the fence cost by the total length of the fence.

## What is the Average Fence Cost Per Foot?

The Cost to Build a Picket Fence averages $6 per linear foot, with vinyl and aluminum costing between$5-$10 per linear foot. Wood fences can range from$10-$35 per linear foot. Chain link average$10-$15 per linear foot. A brick fence could run you anywhere from$14-$40 per linear foot. Metal rails can raise the cost of wood fences by$2-\$20.

The cost of building a fence will vary depending on the fence’s style, size, and materials. Here are some factors that will affect the total price:

Location – The cost of fencing in rural areas and remote locations is usually higher than in more urban areas due to increased transportation costs.

Fence Materials – The most common materials used to construct fences are wood, vinyl, aluminum, wrought iron, chain link, and brick.

Type of Installation – There are several different types of fences, such as gate or panel style and picket style. Each type has its installation method and requirements.

Railings – Do you want barriers for your fence? If so, this will add to the cost as well.
