*Excluding delivery & labour, just on materials (fence, nails, tools, etc)

There`s wood, chain link, pvc, stone, brick and cinder block fences/walls?

    Have you considered an evergreen hedge like Arborvitae? It grows very fast and very tall and can be clipped into a hedge at the height you want. Walmart has them each spring for $5 ea.

    I didn’t know if you just wanted privacy or you actually need to keep a dog in etc….

    here is a picture or two to help:

    By cheapest do you mean in the long run say over twenty years, or initial installation? A board fence is By far cheapest and also one of the easiest to put up. Pvc is certainly a upgrade over wood in both price and longevity
    Stone, block and brick are another whole story and are extremely expensive but last for generations
    Good Luck

    depending on how tall you want the fence and if you are needing it to touch the ground, a split rail is going to be the cheapest. after that I would say wood picket or privacy. In the long run though, if you go vinyl you don’t have to do yearly maintnance. The only thing you might have to do is wash it down. You might also consider (if it is available in your area) a composite fence. It looks like wood, but it doesn’t have to be treated year after year. it should have a pretty good warranty on it too. the best thing i know to tell you to do is to measure your yard. decide on how many and what size gates you want and then go to different homeimprovement stores like lowes and home depot and have someone give you a rough estimate.
