What moves the price
- Length and height: an 8-foot fence uses more material and heavier posts than a 6-foot one.
- Removing the old fence: about $3 to $6 a foot.
- Gates: each gate is priced separately.
- Ground: the north side of the county has shallow soil over limestone, which makes post holes slower to dig; much of the middle of the county is heavy clay that swells and shrinks.
- Slope and access: stepped panels and tight access add labour.
- Permit: $26.50 online in San Antonio.
