Overview
Fence installation cost is typically priced per linear foot and varies by material, height, and terrain. Wood and chain-link are the most affordable; vinyl and wrought iron cost more but need less maintenance.
Why Texas prices differ
Rocky or hilly terrain in some regions increases installation cost; HOA-heavy suburbs may require specific approved materials.
