[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TLDR but i recently went through the process of getting proposals for a western red cedar fence with pressure treated pine posts. Pricing depends on fence type (eg, pressure treated pine vs cedar, and certain features such as gates, cap type, amount of lumber for the fence style)  but for about 200 linear feet, 6 feet high and 1x4 inch boards) board and batten, it was approximately $8,000 (+/- $1,000). I had five separate estimates to compare and went with someone who could do the permitting and had the best reviews and references. [/quote]

Thanks - that's really helpful.  I'm thinking ours would be something like 500 linear feet.  Hopefully doing a substantially less high fence would be a bit cheaper.  Any sense of whether vinyl was cheaper or more expensive?[/quote]

Sorry. I don’t know anything about vinyl because it’s not permitted in our neighborhood. Once you start checking out providers (Angieslist, checkbook, etc), you can get a quick sense of what things costs. Just try to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples in your estimates (eg, linear feet, fence height, board width, cap type, material for the boards, frame and posts, permitting included/excluded, etc).
