Fencing a 1.5 Acres Property
A 1.5 acres lot is approximately 65,340 square feet. If the lot were perfectly square, the total perimeter would be about 1022 feet. In practice, most homeowners fence three sides (the house covers one), giving an estimated fencing run of 765 linear feet.
For wood privacy fencing at this length, you need 101 posts, 202 bags of concrete, 2448 pickets, and 288 rails. Total material cost: $11,475–$19,125.
For properties this size, split rail fencing is worth considering at just $7,650–$13,770 in materials. It defines the boundary clearly at a fraction of the cost of privacy fencing.
