Cost by material in Cedar Park

Installed Cedar Park pricing per linear foot.

Option	Installed cost	Pros	Cons
Barbed wire	$1 – $7	Secure, inexpensive, ideal for farmland and ranches.	Dangerous around kids and pricey once you add accessories.
Electric / invisible	$1 – $7	Invisible from the street, keeps pets contained.	No physical barrier and needs training plus power.
Woven wire	$2 – $4	Strong and safe for horses, goats and sheep.	More complex to install than plain wire.
Metal chain link	$5 – $44	Durable, affordable and effective.	Least attractive option and can rust.
Wood & privacy	$11 – $22	Inexpensive and long-lasting with proper treatment.	Needs regular staining and upkeep.
Composite & Trex	$16 – $49	Looks like wood with almost no maintenance.	Highest upfront material cost.
