What You Need for 130 Feet of Fence
A 130-foot wood privacy fence (the most popular residential choice) requires 20 posts set every 8 feet, 40 bags of 60-pound fast-setting concrete, approximately 416 pickets (3.5-inch width with 1/4-inch gaps), and 51 horizontal rails. Material costs typically range from $1,950 to $3,250.
If you prefer a more affordable option, chain link fencing for 130 feet uses 16 posts with 10-foot spacing and 3 rolls of galvanized mesh, costing $1,040–$1,950. Vinyl panels offer a low-maintenance alternative at $2,600–$4,550 with 17 pre-assembled panels.
For a DIY project of this size, plan on roughly 3 days of work. Renting a two-person power auger ($50–$75/day) cuts digging time in half compared to a manual post hole digger.
