Estimates only — not a quote. Actual price depends on gates, corners, terrain, local labor rates and current material prices in your area.

Concrete and post-depth figures are planning estimates only — verify local code, frost depth, soil conditions and manufacturer requirements before you dig.
Vinyl fence notes
- Vinyl comes in full panels, not loose pickets — section count drives the bill of materials.
- Post spacing must match panel width exactly (usually 6 or 8 ft) — measure twice.
- Cold climates: budget-grade vinyl can crack on impact; look for thicker wall profiles.
