cost to install wood fence yourself
1 With professional installation a rail fence can cost $8-$25 or more a foot, or $900-$3,000 for 100' and $6,800-$21,000 to enclose a square acre, depending on local rates, the number of rails and the terrain (sloping properties or those with difficult access will cost more). For example, AskTheBuilder.com estimates it costs about $325 for do-it-yourself materials for a 48' fence built from individual wood pickets.
