How much does it cost to build a fence in Lloydminster?

If you’re thinking about building a fence in Lloydminster, you might be wondering how much it’s going to cost. The price can change depending on what the fence is made of. Here are some common types: wood, vinyl, chain link, and fancy metal ones called ornamental fences.

1. Wood Fences: These are classic and can look different depending on what you want. They usually cost between $20 to $40 for every foot your fence covers. So, if your fence is 100 feet long, it might cost $2,000 to $4,000.
2. Vinyl Fences: These are strong and don’t need much cleaning or fixing. They are a bit more expensive, costing about $25 to $50 for each foot. For a 100-foot fence, you might pay $2,500 to $5,000.
3. Chain Link Fences: These fences are good for keeping your yard safe and you can still see through them. They are not as expensive, usually $15 to $30 for every foot. A 100-foot fence could cost $1,500 to $3,000.
4. Ornamental Fences: These are fancy metal fences that look really nice. They are the most expensive, costing $30 to $100 for each foot. So, a 100-foot ornamental fence might be $3,000 to $10,000.

Remember, these are just general prices and the real cost can change based on what you want, how your land is shaped, and what the workers in Lloydminster charge. It’s always a good idea to get inspections from different fence companies to find out exactly how much your fence will cost. They’ll look at your yard and tell you a more exact price.
