Measure up
First things first, you need to know how much fence you’ll need. Fences are measured in linear feet, so start out by taking measurements of the area where you want your fence to be installed. Don’t forget to account for the footage that will include gates. Remember that things like sloped grading will add to your overall expenditures and gates will likely add an additional cost. These estimates are only meant to give you a rough idea of what you might be able to expect during your fencing consultation.
