Wood Fence FAQs

Frequently asked wood fence questions.

How much does a 6ft wood privacy fence cost per foot?

A 6-foot wood privacy fence costs between $22 and $45 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated pine averages $22–$30/ft, Western Red Cedar averages $28–$40/ft, and Redwood averages $35–$50/ft.

How many pickets do I need for a 150 foot wood fence?

For a 150-foot fence using standard 5.5-inch dog-ear pickets with no gap, you will need approximately 328 pickets plus a 10% waste allowance (total ~361 pickets).

Should I choose Cedar or Pressure-Treated Pine for my fence?

Cedar resists rot, insects, and warping naturally with a reddish grain, lasting 15–25 years. Pressure-treated pine is less expensive upfront but requires regular staining and sealing to prevent warping over time.
