Most installed fences cost $20 to $60 per linear foot in 2026, which works out to $3,000 to $9,000 for 150 feet of fence. Those are national numbers. We do not post a Clarksville price list, because two yards on the same street can price very differently once you count the gates, the slope and how much limestone is under the clay.
Price ranges are national figures published by HomeGuide for 2026, not our own quotes. Local labor, material prices and what we find in your yard move the number up or down. Last checked October 2026.

How much does a 6-foot wood privacy fence cost?
The national range for a 6-foot privacy fence is $25 to $60 per foot installed. The table below shows totals by length for a typical fence at $20 to $60 per foot. A 6-foot privacy fence has more board and bigger posts than a short picket fence, so look toward the upper figure in each row.
| Fence length | Typical installed cost |
|---|---|
| 50 feet | $1,000 to $3,000 |
| 100 feet | $2,000 to $6,000 |
| 150 feet | $3,000 to $9,000 |
| 200 feet | $4,000 to $12,000 |
What is the cheapest fence to have installed?
Chain link is the cheapest, starting near $9 per foot in the national figures. For privacy at the lowest cost, pressure-treated pine with dog-ear pickets is the usual answer. If you only need to keep a large dog in the yard on a budget, 5 or 6 foot chain link does it. Read your HOA covenants first, though. Many Clarksville subdivisions do not allow chain link where it shows from the street.
Is black aluminum cheaper than wrought iron or vinyl?
Aluminum is cheaper than wrought iron, $25 to $75 per foot compared with $50 to $85, and it covers much the same range as vinyl at $30 to $60. It does not rust in our humid summers, and it is the style most associations here approve for pools and front yards.
How much extra does a gate cost?
Every gate is priced on its own line. The width, the material, the hinges and the latch set the cost. A single walk gate adds the least. A double drive gate for a mower, boat or camper adds more, since it needs larger posts in bigger footings. An automatic opener is a further item.
How much extra for a slope, brush or an old fence?
We have to see it to price it. The extras that come up most around Clarksville are rock, slope and clearing. A back line that drops to a drainage swale takes more labor to follow. A fence row grown up in privet, honeysuckle and hackberry has to be cut out first. And when the auger meets a limestone shelf or a bed of chert, those holes are cored or broken out one at a time. Removing and hauling an old fence is listed separately.
I got three quotes and they are far apart. Which one is realistic?
Believe the quote that spells everything out. Lay them next to each other and check the length, the height, the grade of material, the post size and depth, the number of gates, the tear-out and the haul-away. In this area, also check what each one says about rock. One quote may include it, another may charge by the hole if they hit it, and a third may not mention it at all.
Does a fence add value to my home?
A solid, tidy fence helps a house sell, and in a town with this many dog owners and families on short timelines it often decides between two similar listings. It rarely returns its full cost in the sale price. Whether it changes your appraisal is up to the Montgomery County Assessor of Property.
