Wood Fence Cost in Burley
Wood species is the biggest cost variable. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable and very rot-resistant. Cedar is the most popular choice locally because its natural oils resist moisture and insects and it takes stain right away. Redwood is the premium option, with richer color and more natural durability. Staining or sealing is recommended within the first 6 to 12 months and isn’t included in the installed price.
| Style | Per linear foot, installed | 150 ft + 1 walk gate |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Pine — Privacy 6 ft | $28–$38 | $4,475–$6,150 |
| Cedar — Privacy 6 ft | $34–$48 | $5,375–$7,650 |
| Redwood — Privacy 6 ft | $42–$58 | $6,575–$9,150 |
| Cedar — Picket 4 ft | $22–$34 | $3,575–$5,550 |
| Pressure-Treated Pine — Split Rail 3 ft | $14–$22 | $2,375–$3,750 |
Walk-through gates: $275–$450 each. Hilly, rocky or uneven ground: add about 15% to the fence portion.
Vinyl Fence Cost in Burley
A 6-ft solid privacy panel uses far more material than a 4-ft picket or ranch rail, and taller panels need deeper, heavier concrete footings to stand up to Magic Valley wind loads. We install UV-stabilized, commercial-grade vinyl. It costs a little more than thin residential panels but resists the warping and yellowing that cheap vinyl shows within a few years under southern Idaho’s high-altitude sun.
| Style | Per linear foot, installed | 150 ft + 1 walk gate |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy 6 ft | $38–$58 | $6,050–$9,250 |
| Privacy 8 ft — Taller / Commercial | $46–$66 | $7,250–$10,450 |
| Picket 4 ft | $28–$44 | $4,550–$7,150 |
| Ranch Rail 4 ft | $25–$39 | $4,100–$6,400 |
Walk-through gates: $350–$550 each. Hilly, rocky or uneven ground: add about 15% to the fence portion.
Chain Link Fence Cost in Burley
11-gauge galvanized is the right fit for pets, pools and property lines. 9-gauge is thicker and resists cutting and impact, which is why it’s the standard for schools, warehouses and industrial yards. Vinyl coating (green, black or brown) adds $4 to $8 per foot and blends into landscaping. Woven privacy slats add $5 to $8 per foot and screen 85 to 95% of the view.
| Style | Per linear foot, installed | 150 ft + 1 walk gate |
|---|---|---|
| 4 ft — 11-Gauge Galvanized | $18–$24 | $2,900–$4,000 |
| 6 ft — 11-Gauge Galvanized | $21–$29 | $3,350–$4,750 |
| 6 ft — Vinyl-Coated | $25–$33 | $3,950–$5,350 |
| 8 ft — 9-Gauge Commercial | $28–$38 | $4,400–$6,100 |
| 6 ft — 11-Gauge + Privacy Slats | $27–$37 | $4,250–$5,950 |
Walk-through gates: $200–$400 each. Hilly, rocky or uneven ground: add about 15% to the fence portion.

How long does chain link fencing last?▶
Galvanized chain link lasts 20 to 30 years in the Magic Valley with minimal maintenance. Posts set in concrete at the correct depth matter most.
Does vinyl fencing need painting or sealing?▶
No. An occasional rinse with a garden hose is all it needs. Vinyl materials typically carry 20 to 30 year manufacturer warranties.
Can chain link give me privacy?▶
Not on its own, but woven privacy slats provide 85 to 95% visual screening for about $5 to $8 more per linear foot, which is a lower-cost alternative to a solid privacy fence.
Do I need a permit for a fence?▶
It depends on height and where the property sits. Fences over 6 ft in residential zones commonly need a permit. Check with the City of Burley or Cassia County before you build. We can help confirm what applies to your property.
