Fencing a 1/3 Acre Property
A 1/3 acre lot is approximately 14,520 square feet. If the lot were perfectly square, the total perimeter would be about 482 feet. In practice, most homeowners fence three sides (the house covers one), giving an estimated fencing run of 350 linear feet.
For wood privacy fencing at this length, you need 49 posts, 98 bags of concrete, 1120 pickets, and 132 rails. Total material cost: $5,250–$8,750.
