Vinyl Fences

Vinyl is one of the longest-lasting fence materials, it’s low-maintenance, and it’s available in pickets or privacy panels that you assemble on-site. The posts are typically vinyl-coated pressure-treated wood.

Vinyl fencing components typically come with easy-to-use, pre-installed connectors, which makes installation a snap for anyone who wants to DIY. All used vinyl fencing components are 100 percent recyclable, making vinyl an even greener building product than wood. One drawback of vinyl, however, is that it has to be a light color to prevent UV degradation. Professional installation runs from $20 to $45 per linear foot for labor and materials. Check out our guide to help you break down the pros, cons and costs between vinyl versus wood fences.

Wire Cattle Fences

The simplest option, a wire fence may be all you need to mark boundaries and/or keep livestock corralled. The wire can be electrified for extra security, or you can use barbed wire.

Installation involves little more than setting posts, running heavy-gauge wire between them and possibly connecting the wire to a power source, so it’s totally DIY friendly. You can even avoid digging if you set metal fence posts with a fence post driver. Costs run between $1 and $4 per linear foot for materials.
