What You Need for 360 Feet of Fence
A 360-foot wood privacy fence (the most popular residential choice) requires 48 posts set every 8 feet, 96 bags of 60-pound fast-setting concrete, approximately 1152 pickets (3.5-inch width with 1/4-inch gaps), and 135 horizontal rails. Material costs typically range from $5,400 to $9,000.
If you prefer a more affordable option, chain link fencing for 360 feet uses 39 posts with 10-foot spacing and 8 rolls of galvanized mesh, costing $2,880–$5,400. Vinyl panels offer a low-maintenance alternative at $7,200–$12,600 with 45 pre-assembled panels.
For a DIY project of this size, plan on roughly 6 days of work. Renting a two-person power auger ($50–$75/day) cuts digging time in half compared to a manual post hole digger.
