Fence cost in Atlanta varies a lot depending on who you ask, so we’re publishing our actual materials and labor rates — the same numbers that power our Instant ROUGH Estimate tool. These figures reflect current Georgia lumber yard pricing and MY FENCE MAN™’s real labor rates, not industry averages pulled from somewhere else. Every number below is a starting point, because your exact price depends on your yard, your gates, and what our crew finds on a site visit.

What Affects Your Fence Cost

Four things drive most of your total: the fence style and material, and the total linear footage. Gates matter too — walk gates and drive gates both add a fixed cost per opening. So do site conditions like slope, tree roots, or an old fence that needs to come out first. Everything below assumes a standard installation on level ground, so your free on-site visit is where we confirm the final number.

Fence Cost Per Linear Foot in Metro Atlanta

• Chain Link (4′ height) — starting around $14.00/ft installed
• Chain Link (5′ height) — starting around $15.25/ft installed
• Chain Link (6′ height) — starting around $16.50/ft installed
• Dogear Wood Privacy — starting around $24.00/ft installed
• Aluminum — starting around $28.00/ft installed
• Board on Board Wood Privacy — starting around $28.35/ft installed
• Top-Cap Wood Privacy — starting around $29.40/ft installed
• PVC / Vinyl — starting around $35.50/ft installed
• Board on Board Top-Cap — starting around $36.05/ft installed

These are materials-plus-labor rates with no gate included, at a typical residential run length. Shorter runs cost more per foot (fixed costs like gates spread across less footage); longer runs cost slightly less per foot.

Example: 150 Feet of Fence With One Gate

Here’s what a common Metro Atlanta backyard — 150 linear feet with one walk gate — actually costs by style, materials and labor combined:

• Chain Link (6′) — about $2,849 total
• Dogear Wood Privacy — about $3,974 total
• Board on Board Wood Privacy — about $4,610 total
• Aluminum — about $4,559 total
• Top-Cap Wood Privacy — about $4,764 total
• PVC / Vinyl — about $5,684 total
• Board on Board Top-Cap — about $5,767 total

Chain Link Pricing Depends on Height

Unlike our wood, aluminum, and vinyl styles, chain link labor is priced by height. That’s because taller runs take more fabric, more line posts, and more time to stretch and tie off correctly. Four-foot chain link is our most economical fencing option; six-foot is the most common choice for privacy and security.

Ballpark Only — Final Quote After a Site Visit

Every number on this page, and in our Instant ROUGH Estimate tool, is a ballpark based on your linear footage, style, and gate count. Your final fence cost in Atlanta can move based on slope, old fence removal, tree roots, HOA specifications, or permit requirements in your city or county. That’s why every estimate is followed by a free, no-pressure on-site visit before you sign anything. We’d rather you know the real number than get surprised later.
