As of November 2026, national cost guides put most installed fences between roughly $8 and $55 per linear foot, depending on material, and block walls around $15 to $20 per square foot of wall face. We did not find a reliable, dated price survey for Anaheim alone. Local labor, access, slope and permits move the number, so a measured, itemized estimate is the price that counts.
What does each material cost?
| Material | Range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Chain link | About $8 to $40 | NerdWallet |
| Wood privacy, 6 ft | About $13 to $45 | Inch Calculator |
| Vinyl | About $15 to $40 | NerdWallet |
| Aluminum | About $20 to $55 | Inch Calculator |
| Wrought iron | About $25 to $55 | NerdWallet |
| Concrete block wall | About $15 to $20 per square foot of wall face | Inch Calculator |
These are national figures, not bids for Anaheim homes.
What moves the price on a Anaheim job?
- Old wall or fence removal. Breaking out an old block wall costs more than pulling a wood fence.
- Access. Narrow side yards mean materials go in by hand.
- Slope. Hillside lots need stepped sections and sometimes retaining.
- Gates. Each gate adds hardware, a heavier post and labor.
- Permits. Walls over 7 feet and pool barriers add permit fees and inspection time.
How do I get a firm number?
Measure the run roughly, decide on height and the number of gates, and note whether an old fence or wall is coming out. Then ask for an estimate that prices each of those as its own line.
