Outside the city, fences are measured in thousands of feet, not hundreds. Ranch fencing is priced very differently from a backyard fence: per foot costs are lower, but corners, braces, gates and clearing add up.
Common types
- Barbed wire: 4 or 5 strands on T-posts with wood or pipe corners. The cheapest way to hold cattle.
- Woven field fence: for goats, sheep, dogs and smaller stock, often with a strand of barbed wire on top.
- High game fence: 8 ft woven wire for deer and exotics.
- Welded pipe fence: heavy steel pipe posts and rails, often with cable or sucker rod. Strong and long-lived; common for entrances, pens and frontage on ranches across South Texas.
What drives the price
Total length, terrain and brush clearing, how many corners and H-braces, post spacing, wire type, gates and cattle guards, and travel. Pipe fence is usually quoted per foot including paint or primer, with gates extra.
Typical installed cost: barbed wire $1 to $6 per linear foot, woven or field fence $1.50 to $6 per linear foot, pipe fence $13.50 to $40 per linear foot, about $13.50 in rural Texas (Fixr, HomeAdvisor, HomeGuide, Bob Vila, Angi).
