Could anybody here give me a ballpark of how much it would be to install a 6' high fence per a section. I just need a rough $ and time estimate because it is for a fam member. Thanks.

If it is for a family member, make an excuse that you dont have time, lol

Run far, run fast....

Vinyl panels, wood panels, how tall, how wide, digging conditions, how deep, etc...

Your into flooring, what would be your advice be for a fence guy that wants to patch a few area's & refinish there in-laws wood floors be?

Either do it free as a favor (every member gets 1 & only 1 free favor not to exceed x hours), refer them to someone you trust, or tell them they need to find a reputable installer

Family do it for free or it will come back and kick you in the ass. Money, pvc two times the fencing as for wood same thing.

Yea, the whole thing about families doing it for free is true! But it would depend on where you are in the country. A basic ptp wooden fence would run average around $13 per foot. A section is 8 ft so that is $104 per section. Again, that is for a basic 6 foot pressure treated pine fences. I hope this helps.

Like Buddy said around $13 / ft that's with digging, cement, nails, boards, clips. only problem is doing it for a family member, do it for free and its never a good job, ask them for some money and your a bad guy, ask them for help to get it done and no one will be home, for some reason no matter what business your in family is a NO NO. This year i did 1 free job, and it cost me as that of 3 free jobs, i did a custom deck for my uncle, diagonal boards, full picture frame, half octagon steps, i was told i would have lots of help, so i taught ok ill be there for 3 days, i was there for 2 weeks i normally would make 5G's on a job like that i made -100 and so much rain after that i couldent finish all my other jobs in time that screwed me..........sorry i thaught i had to let someone know,

I cannot tell you how many people call in asking the simple question... how much is a fence? Haha.... Like the man said above all fences are different with the different styles. Like for instance with vinyl fence, all the prices are different from height, style, color, etc. With wood you have the same thing from board on board, shadowbox, etc. And if it is vinyl, there is huge difference between Lowes materials and actual fence installers. Our materials we use with Fontanyi Fence are two to three times tougher and heavier than Lowes.

Hi! That would really depend upon the material of the fence they want to use. Do you have a preference?

Thanks,

I would also be interested in the cost of a 6' , plain vinyl fence .
