Depending on the kind of material you use, the length of your project, the terrain and who you hire, building a fence can be more than you might expect.

Like other Fencing, wood fencing comes with a wide variety of styles, patterns and designs that can add to the price of your project. Horizontal wood fencing is very popular and comes with a higher price tag due to the extra time it takes to install.
