Vinyl fence installation typically costs $15-40 per linear foot depending on height, style, and site conditions. A standard 6-foot privacy fence for a typical backyard usually runs $3,000-6,000 total. Factors affecting cost include fence height, total linear footage, number of gates, and property conditions. Sloped terrain or difficult access can increase labor costs. While vinyl costs more upfront than wood, you save money long-term through eliminated maintenance. No staining, painting, or board replacement means the fence pays for itself over time.
