How it works

Applies a per-foot material and labor rate for the material you picked, scales both by fence height against a 6 ft baseline, multiplies labor by a terrain factor, then adds gates at $350 each, tear-out at $4/ft and your permit fee.

Formula

Total = length × (material rate + labor rate × terrain) × height ÷ 6 + gates + removal + permit
