Fencing a 1/8 Acre Property
A 1/8 acre lot is approximately 5,445 square feet. If the lot were perfectly square, the total perimeter would be about 295 feet. In practice, most homeowners fence three sides (the house covers one), giving an estimated fencing run of 220 linear feet.
For wood privacy fencing at this length, you need 33 posts, 66 bags of concrete, 704 pickets, and 84 rails. Total material cost: $3,300–$5,500.
