What is the Cost per Linear Foot for Cedar Privacy Fence Installation?

by | Aug 30, 2026

The cost for a professional cedar privacy fence installation in Central Texas typically ranges from $5 to $12 per linear foot for a standard 6-foot fence. However, the specific price depends heavily on the wood species, fence design, and material grade you select.

Here is a breakdown of costs based on the materials and styles we offer:

  • Western Red Cedar (Recommended): This is our top pick for durability and rot resistance in the Texas climate, typically costing between $5 and $8 per linear foot installed.
  • Eastern Red Cedar: Best for rustic or farmhouse styles, this option usually ranges from $4 to $6 per linear foot.
  • Board-on-Board Design: Because this style uses 20% to 30% more lumber to create overlapping pickets for complete privacy, the cost ranges from $6 to $9 per linear foot.
  • Side-by-Side (Stockade) Design: This is a more budget-friendly approach, with costs ranging from $4 to $7 per linear foot.
  • Horizontal Cedar Fence: For those looking to LOCK IN STYLE with a modern aesthetic, horizontal designs typically carry a 15% to 30% premium over vertical builds due to the need for thicker slats and specialized framing.
