How Much Does a Fence Cost in Florida? (2026 Price Guide)

Fence pricing in Florida depends on four things: material, height, how much linear footage you need, and whether you're adding gates or removing an old fence. Here's what actually drives the number, and what you can expect to pay per linear foot for each material we install.

What drives the price

• Material — the single biggest factor. Chain link runs cheapest, wood and aluminum sit in the middle, vinyl runs highest.
• Height — taller means more material and more labor per foot, so an 8-ft fence costs meaningfully more per foot than a 4-ft fence of the same material.
• Linear footage — the total length of your fence line. Larger lots cost more in total, but the per-foot rate doesn't change with size.
• Gates — priced separately from the fence line since they need extra hardware and framing.
• Removal — if you're replacing an existing fence, demo and haul-away adds a per-foot charge on top.

2026 price ranges by material (per linear foot)

• Chain Link — Galvanized: $20–$26/ft — the most economical option, especially for containment rather than privacy
• Chain Link — Vinyl-Coated: $25–$31/ft — same mesh, better corrosion resistance and a less "industrial" look
• Aluminum — Ornamental: $32–$46/ft — the standard choice for pool enclosures since it never rusts
• Wood — Side-by-Side: $35–$48/ft — the lowest-cost privacy option
• Wood — Board-on-Board or Horizontal: $50–$65/ft — more lumber, no sightline gaps
• Vinyl: $48–$68/ft — the highest upfront cost, but zero staining or sealing over the life of the fence

Gates run about $500 for a single walk-through gate (3–4 ft wide) and $1,250 for a double-wide gate (6–8 ft, sized for mowers or vehicle access). Removing an existing fence adds roughly $3 per linear foot when it's bundled into a new installation.
