2026 KC pricing
Fence cost per linear foot in Kansas City.
| Material | Installed price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cedar wood (6 ft privacy) | $42 – $65 / lf | KC's most popular fence. Western red or northern white cedar, dog-eared or board-on-board. |
| Treated pine (6 ft privacy) | $32 – $48 / lf | Budget option. Shorter lifespan than cedar; cups and twists more in KC humidity. |
| Vinyl (6 ft privacy) | $55 – $85 / lf | Heavy-wall, steel-reinforced bottom rail. Lifetime material warranty. |
| Chain link (4 ft galvanized) | $18 – $28 / lf | Residential 11-gauge. Black vinyl-coated runs $26 – $38 / lf. |
| Ornamental aluminum (4–5 ft) | $48 – $75 / lf | Powder-coated, pool-code compatible. Standard for front yards in Leawood and OP. |
| Split-rail (3-rail cedar) | $22 – $34 / lf | Property-line fence. Add welded wire mesh for dog containment ($6 – $9 / lf extra). |

What changes the price
Four things that move the number.
Linear footage
The single biggest variable. Most KC backyards run 140–220 linear feet. Long straight runs are cheaper per foot than short, gate-heavy layouts.
Grade & terrain
Sloped lots (common in Lee's Summit and west Olathe) need stepped or racked panels — adds 8–15% to labor.
Demo & haul-off
Removing an existing fence runs $4–$8 per linear foot depending on condition and concrete footing depth.
Permits & HOA
City permits across the KC metro run $25–$150. HOA architectural review packets are included in every Kodiak quote at no charge.

Treated pine privacy is the cheapest privacy option at $32–$48/lf, but cedar is worth the extra $10/lf in KC's humid climate.Link to this answer
- Three usual reasons: (1) shallow post depth — below the 36 inch KC frost line, posts heave every winter; (2) cheap big-box panels — pre-built sections sag in 2–3 years; (3) no permit or HOA work included — you find out later. Every Kodiak quote itemizes post depth, lumber grade, and includes permit + HOA submittals.Link to this answer
