Cost guide

Fence cost in Monroe and West Monroe.

A fence price is the length, the material, the gates, and the ground. This page says which choices move the number. It is not a quote, and it does not invent a dollar-per-foot rate for your yard.

No flat rate

Why this page does not list a price per foot.

Twin City Fence does not publish a rate card. A 100-foot pine privacy fence on flat, open ground and a 100-foot fence that steps down a wet slope with two gates and a stump in the line are different jobs, and a single number would be a fiction. Anyone who gives you a firm figure from a phone description, without seeing the line, is guessing. We would rather walk it. What this page can do is put the choices in order so you know what you are comparing when two estimates do not match.

Material, in order

What usually costs more than what.

Chain-link usually costs less per foot than the other fences we build. It wins on long runs, dogs, and commercial yards where privacy is not the job. Pine privacy costs more than chain-link and is the usual backyard fence. Vinyl privacy often lands near pine and sometimes above it once style and gates are included. Cedar costs more than pine. Aluminum ornamental is usually the highest per foot of the residential fences we install, because the posts and the gates are a large share of a shorter, more detailed run. Those are relative statements, not a price list. They are also typical of how bids come out in Monroe and West Monroe, not a promise that your yard will sort itself the same way if the ground is difficult.

The things that move a bid

Length is obvious. The rest surprises people.

Height costs more than the extra board suggests, because taller fence needs deeper posts and more brace in the wind. Gates cost more than the same width of fence, and a drive gate costs more than a walk gate. Removing an old fence, especially posts set in concrete, is part of a replacement and it gets forgotten when someone prices 'just the new fence.' Trees, a slope toward a ditch, and soil that stays wet along the Ouachita all add work. So does a corner lot, where the fence may have to sit back so drivers can see. None of that shows up in a national average you found online. If a planning table appears under this page later, it will be labeled as an estimate. Until then, the honest figure is the one from a visit.

How to get a useful number

Measure roughly, then have us look.

Pace the run or step it off. Note the corners and every gate, with the width you actually need. Say what the fence is for: privacy, a dog, cattle, a pool, a shop front. Photos of the line, the worst slope, and any old posts help. Then call or use the form. We are at 205 Mane St, Ste C, West Monroe, and we work in Monroe, West Monroe, and Ouachita Parish. The materials calculator will turn a length into a count of posts and pickets so you can see the scale. It does not price labor or haul-off. The permit guides tell you whether height or the front yard is going to change the design before you pay for the wrong fence. Use both. Then get a number from someone who has stood on the line.

Common questions

Questions about this.

Can you give me a price per foot over the phone?

A range is a guess until someone sees the length, the gates, and the ground. Call with those and we will either look or tell you what is still missing. This page deliberately does not invent a rate.

Why do two fence bids look so different?

Usually the posts, the gates, or whether removal is included. A low bid that skips haul-off or uses fewer posts is not the same fence. Ask each bidder what is in the number.

Does the calculator give me a price?

No. It counts materials for a length and a height. Labor, gates beyond the widths you enter, removal, and bad ground are not in that count.

Relative cost

Which fence usually costs more.

01

Chain-link

Usually the lowest per foot. The right fence when the job is containment over a long run and you do not need to block a view.

02

Pine privacy

More than chain-link. The common wood privacy fence in Monroe and West Monroe. Upkeep is part of owning it.

03

Vinyl privacy

Often near pine, sometimes more once gates and style are counted. You are paying to avoid painting it.

04

Cedar privacy

More than pine. The extra is the wood. The posts are still what decide how long the fence stands.

05

Aluminum ornamental

Usually the highest per foot of these. It does not provide privacy. Gates and posts are a big part of the price.
