What's an average price per ft to have a wooden fence built?

Hiring someone to do it, vs. buying materials and doing it your self?

About $8/ft to build, double that to hire.
Build it yourself.

I built a wooden fence two years ago for $7 per ft. Probably double that to have it built.

If you want treated pine, no way it will cost less than $12-14 to have it built. I'd go with cedar and get #1 grade. It's thicker and will last longer. If you do it yourself, I'd definitely use 3 runners and go with longer runners of 12' or more. Will make your fence much stronger.

15 pickets $1.75 per = 26.25
3 cross beams $3.50 per - 10.50
2 4x4s $8.00 per = 16.00
1 bag quikrete = 4.00
8ft Total - ~$53 (about $7 per ft)
or thereabouts to build yourself...

I paid just under $14/ft with a 10ft gate in October. Just plain 6ft treated pine pickets, 4x4 posts and 6x6 posts on the gate.
I live in nawf Missippi.

If I build it myself with treated pine, it would be $12-14?

He is saying to have it built by a professional.
And the biggest tip of you do the work yourself, rent a gas posthole digger or get a friend with a tractor and auger.
Ain't nobody got time for digging holes by hand.

So treated pine is the best route to go?
Posted on 3/28/17 at 10:13 pm to Cow Drogo
I'd go cedar pickets.
Everything else will be treated pine.

I replaced a couple of sections of my fence a week or so ago and can tell you this is almost exactly what I spent for a fence of 6 ft treated pine pickets.
ETA: if you like to work outside and are somewhat mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself, but it is a hell of a lot more work than you think it is going to be....

When I lived in BR I used to build fences (back in the 90's). Scott Fence out on Highland Road (Don't know if they still exist) is where I would get CYPRESS pickets. Much prettier than pine or cedar, and lasted longer than either. Price wise, the cypress was actually cheaper than the cedar at the time.
