vinyl fence cost
My husband and I would like to put up a vinyl fence in our back yard but we have NO clue as to how much it would actually cost. We really shoudl just call for estimates. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure of how much we can expect to pay for supplies and install?
The back side of fence woudl be about 65 feet, the sides about 40 feet a piece and the fronts about 12 feet total including a gate. So that would be about 157 feet and a gate of fence. Hope this makes sense.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I will have to give you our measurements tomorrow on the yard, but we had two companies give us a bid. We are mostly DIY type of people, but we have this super awesome lot (note: sarcasm) that is nothing but uphill in the back yard. The base footprint of our home is 2200 sq ft on .19 of an acre and these people quoted us 6k and 5k. We basically said no thank you since we are wanting to sell this home.
This was for a 4ft vinyl since that is all HOA would allow.
We just DIY a 225 ft long composite fence last fall for our dog. It took us about 2 months to install with two people working all day each weekend. And we didn't install the posts ourselves.
Will your HOA allow composite fencing instead? It is much, much stronger than those hollow vinyl panels you can buy at the hardware store. We actually bought some on sale and then decided that it was way too flimsy for our high winds, dog, and trees (a falling tree branch would completely take out a 6 foot panel. At the store some of the panels cracked under the weight of the other hollow panels on top of them! Instead we went with a new composite fence from Menards. It looks so nice many people think it's real and it will never need staining! Here's a pic:
We got lots of quotes from fence companies for 225 ft of fence we were quoted $6k for a cedar fence and $13k for a composite fence. Vinyl was around $12k if I remember right.
We DIY for $4k including $1700 to hire a fencing company to install the 60 metal posts. We got the pickets on sale for the same price as a cedar picket but the real cost comes in the posts, rails, gates, and brackets.
Vinyl and composite fences actually used treated 2x4's for the rails and treated 4x4's for the posts then you slip a vinyl or composite sleeve over the treated wood because they aren't structurally sound otherwise. So when you start pricing out all that wood it really addes up. Then include renting a post hole digger, mixing your own cement, and temp bracing for each post. Our fence is near a marshy area so if we had used even treated wood it wouldn't have lasted very long (and for that kind of price we wanted something that would last a long time) so went with metal U-shape posts instead.
