Apple Valley, MN — Northland Fence, a local fence company, recently published a blog post explaining the cheapest fence installation options. The price depends on many factors, such as material, height, and additional costs like hardware or gates. The size of the yard being fenced in also plays a role in the overall expense. A larger yard will result in a more expensive price tag. If someone has ⅛ of an acre to fence in, the average cost may be around $3,500, but if someone has 2 acres to fence in, that cost goes up to around $45,000.
“Many affordable options exist to give you the feel of an expensive fence without sacrificing your wallet. For example, different materials and fence types can result in higher or lower costs. Sometimes, fencing companies, such as Northland Fence, will offer financing options that allow you to break up the overall cost of your project into smaller, more manageable payments. If you have a specific type of fence and aesthetic that you want, there are still options to give you both in a more manageable way,” the blog post states.
In Minnesota, wire fences are prohibited except in agricultural districts. These include barbed, chicken, electric, and hog wire. While they are cheaper, they are also considered temporary. In Apple Valley, they can be allowed for up to 30 days. Regarding metal fences, ornamental steel fences are cheaper than wrought iron. These fences offer elegance, aesthetics, and security.
Opting for an ornamental steel fence can provide these features for a fraction of the price. Another cheap metal fence is aluminum corrugated metal. However, it is often less durable and prone to bending or denting. Chain link fences are affordable, averaging around $4 to $10 per foot. These are great fences for someone looking for security, who has a large yard, or who does not care about aesthetics and wants a lower-priced fence.
Vinyl fences are often the most expensive upfront. They are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and withstand harsh climates. They are resistant to pests, rust, and frost and can come in various colors, sizes, and styles. They also require little future maintenance, making them cost-effective over time. Opting for a picket fence may be the better option if someone is looking for a cheaper upfront cost for a vinyl fence. These fences are shorter and have fewer panels. Because of this, they do not allow for privacy or security like a privacy fence would. However, they still maintain the low maintenance features.
“At Northland Fence, we offer professional products manufactured to last years and withstand Minnesota’s climate. Our team will work with you to design your dream fence while fitting your budget.
