How much would it cost to self instal a metal or wood fence?
I actually put in my own fence last summer. I chose to go with a shadowbox dogear. Shadowbox is vertical planks that are staggered every other on opposite sides. Dogear planks are angled on the top corners. The 6′ prebuilt panels were selling for $65 at our local big box stores. I ended up not buying prebuilt panels, but rather building the fence from scratch as I went along so that I didn’t have to space my posts exactly the width of the prebuilt panels. http://www.5starfencing.com/photos/shado… Both of my neighbors already had fences installed, so the sides of my yard were already done. All I had to do was the very back, and the front sides connecting to the house. Total linear feet was 130′. I was quoted $2400 and $2900 for 6′ high, treated lumber dogear shadbowbox. I did it myself, and with tool rentals and all, it cost $1300. I spread it out over 2 weekends. I only had help with digging the holes
