Read guideHow to use these guides
Fence prices vary because every job is different. Length, height, materials and access all change the final figure. These guides explain each factor in plain English, so you can read a quote with confidence.
Start with the guide that matches your question. For example, a per-metre guide suits a whole new boundary, while a panel guide suits a repair. Then use the cost calculator to turn those figures into a ballpark for your own garden.
Guides show typical prices, yet they cannot see your garden. Therefore, treat every figure as a guide and compare real quotes. Better Fences matches you with vetted local installers, and the quotes are free with no obligation.
Some costs depend on the job, while others depend on your choices. For example, the length of your fence is fixed, but the material is your choice. Therefore, a guide helps most when you know which costs you can control.
