Wood & Privacy
The wood & privacy cluster: wood fence cost, privacy fence cost, cedar fence cost, picket fence cost, a board-on-board / shadowbox picket count (overlap coverage), and a wood fence stain / paint calculator (gallons = face area ÷ coverage × coats). Confirm picket dimensions on your product and order a little extra for waste.
Planning estimate: this is a planning estimate from the numbers you enter — not a bid or a contract. Fence pricing depends on material grade, height, terrain, post setting, gates, tear-out and local labor. Get itemized written quotes from licensed, insured fencing contractors before you commit.
Confirm panel/picket dimensions and bag yield against your product and order a little extra (~10%) for waste, corners, terrain and uneven runs. Panel sizes, picket widths, gaps and bag yields vary by product and brand.
