What Should I Pay for Wood Fence Installation?

Types

• The price of your fence installation depends on the type of material. For example, pine fencing costs $30 to $50, while redwood fencing costs $35 to $75 for a 48-square-foot panel, according to Cost Owl in 2011.

Size

• The larger your fence is, the more materials and labor you'll need to pay for. For example, a do-it-yourself 100-foot-long wooden picket fence costs between $400 and $1,800, while the same fencing costs upwards of $5,000 for 300 feet. To hire a professional to install the same 300-foot-long fence, expect to spend up to $24,000, according to Cost Helper in 2011.

Considerations

• Professional installation of your wooden fence adds an additional $5 to $25 per foot. Consider doing some of the work yourself to save money.
