[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain why fences are so expensive?  I'm sure the tariffs are part of it but the contractors are saying it's not a big part.  Can anyone share what they paid all in per linear foot for cedar recently? I'm trying to figure out if I'm getting upcharged based on my zip code as contractors are not transparent in their pricing.[/quote]

Tariffs have nothing to do with it. :D Is that why you started the thread?

Fences have always been expensive the last few decades. Wood isn't cheap, and treated wood or quality wood like cedar or redwood is definitely not cheap.

For average current prices, you are looking around $10 to $15 per linear ft of fence. That's not counting any extras like stone work or wrought iron or gates.

Is that installed? I’m getting quotes closer to the other PP ie $45-$50 a linear foot installed. [/quote]

Sorry, no, that was for materials only for standard average cedar fencing. Note that premium fencing, really beautiful stuff not the rougher hewn boards, will be twice that amount.

The labor will vary greatly depending on location. Rich people will have to pay more. Always been that way. Contractors adjust labor accordingly. [/quote]
