FAQs About Fence Pricing:

How much does a fence cost in Southern Wisconsin?

Fence pricing in Southern Wisconsin typically ranges from $18 to $60+ per linear foot, depending on the fence material, height, terrain, and installation requirements. Chain link fences are generally the most cost-effective option, while premium materials like cedar wood, ornamental iron, and vinyl privacy fencing fall at the higher end. At Struck & Irwin Fence, we provide detailed, transparent estimates tailored to your property and local conditions.

What factors affect the cost of fence installation?

Several variables influence the final cost of a fence installation, including:

  • Fence material and style
  • Total linear footage
  • Fence height and gate quantity
  • Property slope, soil conditions, and accessibility
  • Removal of existing fencing
  • Local zoning or code requirements

With over 75 years of experience in Wisconsin, Struck & Irwin understands how regional weather, terrain, and regulations impact pricing and durability.

Is professional fence installation worth the cost?

Yes. Professional installation ensures your fence is properly set, code-compliant, long-lasting, and backed by workmanship standards. Improper installation can lead to leaning posts, premature wear, and costly repairs. Struck & Irwin Fence uses trained installers to deliver clean work sites, precise layouts, and dependable results that protect your investment.

Which fence material offers the best value for the price?

“Best value” depends on your priorities:

  • Chain link fencing offers the lowest upfront cost and minimal maintenance.
  • Cedar wood fencing provides excellent privacy, natural beauty, and strong resale appeal.
  • Vinyl fencing delivers a clean look with minimal upkeep over time.
  • Ornamental iron fencing offers premium durability and elegant curb appeal with an open view.

Our team helps customers balance budget, function, and aesthetics to choose the right solution.

Does fence pricing include gates and accessories?

Fence pricing typically includes standard sections, while gates, specialty hardware, decorative elements, and custom features are priced separately. Gate size, material, and function (walk gate vs. driveway gate) can affect cost. Struck & Irwin provides clear, itemized quotes so you know exactly what’s included and there are no surprises.

Are permits or zoning requirements included in fence pricing?

Permit requirements vary by municipality. While permit fees are usually separate from installation costs, Struck & Irwin Fence assists customers by designing fences that meet local zoning and safety codes, including pool fencing and commercial compliance requirements throughout Southern Wisconsin.

How much does it cost to replace an existing fence?

Fence replacement costs depend on:

  • Type and condition of the existing fence
  • Removal and disposal needs
  • Upgrading materials or layout

Replacing an older or failing fence is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs, especially when upgrading to low-maintenance or longer-lasting materials designed for Wisconsin’s climate.

Do you offer free fence estimates?

Yes. Struck & Irwin Fence offers free, no-obligation estimates for residential, commercial, and recreational fencing projects. Our pricing recommendations are based on an on-site evaluation, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and a solution that fits your goals and budget.

How can I get the most accurate fence pricing?

The best way to receive accurate fence pricing is to schedule a professional consultation. Every property is unique, and factors like grading, layout, and intended use matter. With decades of local experience, Struck & Irwin Fence delivers pricing you can trust and fences built to last.
