How much would a wooden 6 foot high fence cost per foot, material and labor included?

Hi, it depends on the style you wish to have.

Cedar would be expensive though.

Please share the style and we would be able to help you.

I agree more detail is needed. If you are on a corner lot i would check to see if the builder is supplying a fence for at least the street side.

A ball park for pressure treated with 6x6 posts will range from 37-50$ a linear foot depending on style. Cedar again depending on style could be up too 70$ a foot. Again these are rough estimates.

With more detail on size of post and framing members im sure it could be narrowed down to a more accurate quote.

Hope this helps somewhat

Good luck

Hi Andre,

your needs are clear, for the most part, other than the layout situation, accessibility, and the soil/substrate itself (how easy to dig).

Though we don't service your area, a typical rate for a 6 foot high fence with 6x6 corner posts and gate posts, and 4x4 mid-span posts would start at about $45/linear foot in my area of Belleville, Ontario.

Cedar was originally attractive for its looks and anti-rot properties. Newer pressure treated materials, such as Sienna, have both great aesthetics and life expectancy not far off cedar, but tend to be stronger. Gates start at $299 each.

We hope this helps..

Agree with the ranges from similar posts. Not in your area (am in AB) but $36-$45 for the fence with 6x6 posts and $300 for each basic gate is common in my market.

If you had intricate designs then it would be more. Now that pressure treated lumber is sienna/brown coloured instead of green I'm finding that clients are opting for pressure treated rather than cedar.
