Which fence material is most cost-effective?+
Chain-link is cheapest upfront ($10–$15/ft installed), wood is mid-range ($20–$30/ft), and vinyl is most expensive ($30–$45/ft) but maintenance-free over its lifetime.
Does this include concrete for posts?+
No — concrete for setting posts adds roughly $3–$5 per post. For a standard 150-ft fence with 25 posts, that's an extra $75–$125.
How many gates do I need?+
Most properties need at least one walk gate (3–4 ft wide). Add a driveway gate (10–16 ft wide) if you have vehicle access. Each gate adds cost but also convenience.
