What Changes Basic Fence Pricing for your Vernon BC property?

Even with a solid per-foot baseline, the final quote for how much a fence will cost if we build it can shift based on:

• Terrain & soil: rocky ground, heavy clay, or high water tables can increase install time.

• Slope & grade changes: stepped sections, custom transitions, and extra posts add cost.

• Access: tight backyards, limited machine access, and hand-carry installs take longer.

• Corners & complexity: lots of corners, jogs, and tie-ins = more labour and hardware.

• Removal of old fencing: demo + disposal is often a separate line item.

• Gates & latch hardware: gates can add a big chunk to the total (see details below).

• Commercial/security add-ons: barbed wire, privacy slats, heavier framework, automation, etc. will add costs.
