What is the Cheapest Fence to Install?

cheapest fence

You may be asking yourself, “What is the cheapest fence?” Our website makes it easy to compare the affordability of other fence options. Fences are an excellent way to enhance your home’s appearance and boost its value, apart from enclosing your property. 

With high-quality materials and maintenance, a properly constructed fence can serve you for many years without the need for replacement or repairs by a fencing contractor. A fence installation cost relies on various factors, such as its length, height, and material type. Longer and higher fences will require more labor and materials than shorter and lower fences. Rest assured, we take pride in offering these exceptional options to ensure you get the best value for your investment in your new fence.

Although constructing a fence around your home might be costly, you can combine hard work, research, and creativity to discover a durable and aesthetically appealing fence within your financial capability. Inexpensive and cheap fences result from cheap materials that require minimal maintenance and easy cheapest fence installation. 

The most common and cheap types of fences include naturally occurring, recycled, and manufactured materials, requiring the least amount of labor during installation and maintenance. We understand the importance of providing cheap options without compromising on quality.

Aluminum fencing

Aluminum is among the most attractive and basic fences available in the market. Although it does not offer enough security demanded by most homeowners, it is relatively the cheapest fence in terms of maintenance costs. Additionally, installing an aluminum fence requires maintenance during its installation, where you will decorate and paint it.

Our pricing tool provides an instant quote. Allowing you to explore options with no pressure to buy.

Wood Fencing

Wood is exceptionally popular across America as the preferred material for fencing, especially if correctly treated. Apart from providing homeowners with privacy, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of their home. Furthermore, it provides homeowners with a warm, welcoming feeling at a low price compared to other materials. 

Using our pricing tool, you can be reassured that our company is honest about our prices! When constructing the cheapest wood fence, consider the local laws concerning how high a fence should be and remember that the size and height will determine the amount of lumber, labor, and consequently, the price.

Wood fences take some time before a complete fence installation occurs, but they can last a lifetime. Additionally, the fence’s quality relies immensely on the kind of wood one chooses to construct the structure. 

PVC fencing

The cheapest way to create a fence for your home is by getting one made from PVC. Such fences substitute wooden pickets and stakes to offer protection from the outside world. PVC sleeves improve the stability of wooden posts used as a fence, reducing the cost of material and the labor used. Furthermore, PVC stakes can be attached to crossbars with adhesives and screws.

PVC fencing is highly resistant to the elements such as snow, rain, and sunlight, ensuring it serves your home for years.

Wrought iron fencing

Wrought iron is a durable and strong fencing material that withstands harsh weather conditions with minimal repairs. Wrought iron fences are popular for their gothic and centuries-old look, which creates an aesthetic appeal while offering sturdy security for most homeowners. Relative to other types of fencing, wrought iron repainting and custom-making make it a bit expensive. Our pricing tool provides you with an instant quote, and our team will contact you shortly.

Vinyl Fencing

Besides being cost-friendly, vinyl fences’ flexibility, strength, and resistance to paint make them an attractive choice for most homeowners. Some experts argue that vinyl fencing is approximately four times stronger and more flexible than wood fences. Vinyl fences are easy to maintain because you can clean graffiti and other stains using soap and water. The long life span and low maintenance expenses make vinyl the cheapest type of fence than other types of fences.

Chain link fencing

Chain link fencing is a cheap fencing type that can serve your home for many years. This type of fencing’s primary role is the creation of physical barriers for the entry of intruders and the exit of pets and children at school playgrounds. The material is highly durable and requires little maintenance. However, chain links are susceptible to rusting and do not offer any privacy to your home.

You can grow rapidly growing vines, shrubs, and flowers on the base of the chain link fence to slightly increase privacy.

Electric fencing

Electric fencing installed by a fence contractor is popularly used to deter human and animal intruders at a low cost. The electric fence has a simple setup with a receiver, transmitters, and several wires strung between upright wooden posts. Electric fences provide the utmost security at a lower price by sending a high-intensity voltage pulse once there is a wire breach. With our instant online pricing tool, we can provide accurate and cheap prices. Henceforth, such fences are not allowed in urban centers and near any highways or roads.

Stone fencing

Stone and brick walls have an aesthetic appeal and provide excellent privacy to homeowners. Additionally, these fences are strong and robust, offering security to your residence. However, the cost of stone fencing might be elevated by the extensive labor required during its construction.

Picket

Picket wood fencing is a popular and cheap fencing type in the United States that provides privacy and protection to your property. The vertically spaced pickets attached to the bottom and top horizontal rails are available in various decoration styles that boost your curb appeal and home value.

Pallet

A fencing contractor can fix pallets easily as a fence horizontally or vertically between vertical posts. Since pallets can be offered free from nursery beds, construction sites, and industries, you should ensure they have an International Plant Protection Convention logo. The organization ensures the pallet is fumigated and heat-treated to limit the spread of plant diseases and critters.

Barbed wire

Barbed wire fencing is an inexpensive and secure method of creating physical barriers for livestock from leaving your yard and preventing the entry of wild animals such as foxes and jackals.

Lattice top

A lattice top fence is a wood fence that typically has a crisscross pattern above the wooden fence to allow sunlight penetration. Additionally, it provides one with a view of the outside world while preventing the entry of intruders. Furthermore, the lattice can provide support to climbing shrubs such as vines, making your home more attractive. The smaller slats at the top of the fence reduce the amount of wood panel used compared to traditional fences, thereby making lattice a cheap fencing option.

Nature fence

Hedges have been used as fences ever since the sixteenth century, protecting homes from intruders and soil erosion. Planting shrubs requires one to research the native plants and select the best plant whose mature size will provide adequate fencing. It would be most beneficial to visit the local nursery to find information regarding the best plants you could grow as your natural fence. For the process to be cheap, pick plants that are rapidly growing, require low maintenance, and are planted during the rainy season.

Although yew plants take years to form a mature hedge that protects your home, they provide an aesthetic appeal ideal for sunny and cloudy climates. Alternatively, you can grow the spotted laurel around the stonewall to provide an aesthetic appeal and privacy from neighbors and intruders. The bushy green plant is tough since it can survive salt-bearing winds and air pollution. You can select from a wide variety of private species available to grow your fence, which can reach about five to ten feet.

You can opt for bamboo fencing that will make your home seem more environmentally friendly and boost its appeal. Bamboo cane and rolled bamboo use poles connected that create a stronger, cheaper fence than live bamboo. However, homeowners living in areas experiencing colder climates should not plant bamboo as their fence.

Apex did a great job in my fence in Norman! The crew, led by Zach, Bailey and Richie, did multiple walkthroughs with me to triple check the quality. They ensured I had no damaged slats and explained how to maintain the fence. The crew worked really fast and were very pleasant despite the 103 degree heat. Apex was also the only company that bothered to explain my wood choices, which is critical to getting the right material for our climate. They also committed to return if they need to adjust anything after the rainy season. Great quality and service!

These guys and gals are great. They were fast and helpful. They installed a metal fence around the back of our daughters house in just 2 days. And they built a nice wood fence for us. Good prices and great customer service. And they helped us find a great company to build a retaining wall. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I have been trying to get this gate and fence fixed for the last couple of years. I called multiple fence companies to build a custom gate. Several came and looked, but never followed up. Apparently, none of them had the imagination or creativity of Apex. Gate not only works right now, it’s so cool giving unique options to open it all or just a section. All the other companies said the chain link repair wasn’t big enough (really). Apex added it to the cost of the gate repair and it was done to a high standard in no time. All the Apex guys I dealt with were polite, professional and NEVER said what they couldn’t do; they DEMONSTRATED what they could do. So pleased with their work!

Apex is an outstanding company. From the initial contact on the phone with Wylie to the follow through with Zach giving us the estimate. Communication was always a priority and gave us details on every aspect. Bailey Whitey, the Team Manager, and his crew, Curtis and Braeden, were so meticulous and conscientious throughout the whole process. They worked so hard and the attention to detail was remarkable…very courteous and considerate. The fence is absolutely beautiful, solid construction. My husband and I are ecstatic. Thank you !

Was informed of the rate before he came out. Rob communicated when he would be here. He was on time. Made the adjustments necessary for the gates to work properly. He thoroughly checked everything. He seemed knowledgeable and was very pleasant. No surprises on the price charged. I'm always pleased when I receive the services as expected for the price expected.

It only took 2 days for a team of 3 to remove, dig, setting the new poles. This is only the first day. Day 2, again only a team of the 3. The cut, attached, level and replaced the couple boards that were damaged, the it was finished off with making my new door. Next will be replacing another set of fence and making 2 new doors.

Apex Fence did an outstanding job installing our new Ponderosa fence at Adams Park. This was a large project, and working with Zach throughout the quoting process and material ordering was smooth and easy. Bailey and Matt handled the on-site installation, and the entire project was seamless from start to finish. Communication was great, the work was completed professionally, and the crew did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. We had no complaints throughout the process and are extremely happy with the finished product. Highly recommend Apex Fence for quality work and a great experience!

Apex was prompt with their consultation and scheduling. They were installing our fence three weeks after we chose our material and color. Installation of a 6' metal panel fence with caps encircling 2 acres took a little over a week. Overall, we're very impressed. Update: We were so happy with our new fence, that we contacted Apex again in 2026 to fence off a smaller section of our yard for our pets and garden. Once again, Apex was quick and professional, and the team leader Brayden and his crew did a wonderful job.

Apex Fence was referred to me by my realtor. I called a few other companies, but no one returned my call. Apex was the only company to answer during my initial contact. The lady I spoke with was very kind and helpful. She scheduled a meeting with Zach, one of their sales associates for the following week. From picking the type of fence to choosing the colors, working with him made the whole process so effortless. Within three weeks, I was scheduled and the construction crew started working on my 1.8 acres. It was a big job, but Dillon one of their project managers kept me informed during the entirety of the project. Since I wasn’t available in person until the afternoon, Dillon would either call, text or FaceTime in an effort to provide progress or answer any questions I may have had. Speaking with Zack, I initially wanted a gate on each side of the house that was large enough for a zero turn. On the third day, I changed my mind and decided I wanted both gates large enough for a truck. In order to widen the gates, the construction crew had to remove four steel posts that were previously encased in cement. Dillon and the construction crew was so patient and understanding. I was originally quoted with a completion date of five days, but even with that last minute change, it only took them four and a half. I am very pleased and so happy with how it turned out. Thank you so much to the whole Apex Fence crew!

P.s. that ugly fence in the background is the neighbors 😁 Note: here we are a year later and I'm having issues with locking mechanism.
