How this is worked out
No hidden fudge factor. This is the whole calculation.
- Pick a fence material, which sets the low and high end of the typical range.
- Your length of fence multiplies that per-linear foot range to give the spread you see.
- Both ends are typical Triangle installed costs gathered from published industry ranges. They are not quotes, and no number here comes from our own bookings.
