Estimate, not a quote
$4,600 to $5,850
| Vinyl fence, 6 ft, 150 ft | $4,500 to $5,700 |
| City of Cape Coral permit | $107 to $110 |
This is a rough estimate, not a quote. Your final price depends on a site visit, City of Cape Coral permits, and the materials you choose. Canal lots, HOA rules, gates, and removal can change the price.
How to use it
- Linear feet. Enter the total length of fence. Pace it off or measure along the line. Don't subtract gate openings.
- Material. Pick vinyl, aluminum, chain link or wood.
- Height. Pick a height. The choices change with the material. Wood at 4 ft and aluminum at 6 ft show "Call for this height" instead of a range. For those, call (239) 341-6184.
- Gates. Add walk gates and drive (double) gates. Drive gates are manual. Automatic openers aren't included.
- Remove old fence. Turn this on if an old fence has to come out first.
- Pool barrier. Turn this on if the fence is a pool barrier. Your walk gates switch to pool-code gates.
- Coastal hardware upgrade. Heavier, salt-resistant hinges and latches for gates on canal lots.
- Wind reinforcement allowance. Extra concrete, deeper posts, or other reinforcement.
You get a line-by-line range for the fence, gates, removal, permit and add-ons, then a total range. Every result is marked Estimate, not a quote.
What moves the price
- Material. Vinyl, aluminum, chain link and wood each price differently.
- Length. The more feet, the higher the total.
- Height. A 6 ft fence uses more material than a 4 ft one. City code caps residential fences at 6 ft.
- Gates. Every gate adds to the job. Drive gates more than walk gates. Pool-code gates have to be self-closing and self-latching.
- Removal. Taking out an old fence adds a per-foot cost.
- Permit. The City of Cape Coral charges a set fee for a residential fence permit, and it's built into every range.
- Canal lots. The rear 20 ft must be open mesh above 3 ft, which can change the material for that stretch. Salt air may call for coastal hardware.
- HOA rules. Some communities limit colors, styles or heights.
- Lot conditions. Easements, wind exposure and what's in the ground affect posts and labor.
