'How much does a fence cost in Colorado Springs?' is the number one question we get. Straight answer: most residential fences installed in Colorado Springs land between $25 and $60 per linear foot. Here's what actually moves that price up or down.
Price per linear foot by material (2026)
| Material | Installed price / linear foot | Typical 150-ft yard |
|---|---|---|
| Split rail (2-rail) | $18–$28 | $2,700–$4,200 |
| Chain link (4 ft) | $22–$32 | $3,300–$4,800 |
| Cedar privacy (6 ft) | $35–$50 | $5,250–$7,500 |
| Vinyl privacy (6 ft) | $50–$70 | $7,500–$10,500 |
| Decorative steel (5 ft) | $55–$85 | $8,250–$12,750 |
What drives the price up
- Gates — a single walk gate adds $300–$600; a double drive gate adds $800–$1,800.
- Slope and rock — Front Range clay is fine; hitting granite doubles post cost.
- Tear-out and haul-off of an old fence.
- HOA-required stain or color match.
- Corner-lot setback surveys.
Why quotes vary $2,000 between fencing companies
Two big variables: post depth and concrete volume. A cheap Colorado Springs fence quote often assumes 24" posts with a shovel of concrete. A quote that lasts 20 years assumes 30"+ posts and a full 60-lb bag per hole. Ask every fencing contractor exactly what's in their post spec before you compare prices.
