How does the price of Trex compare with other fencing material?

The cost of a 6-foot privacy fence depends on the type of material used and if you are installing it yourself or paying someone else to do it. Where you are located can also make a difference, primarily for the cost of labor. For materials, a simple 6-foot wood privacy fence can cost as low as $25 a foot, although these types of wood fences won't last very long. If you upgrade to high quality, pre-stained wood, you may pay $40+ per foot for materials. Vinyl fences also have ranges depending on quality, color, and brand. A cheap vinyl 6-foot privacy fence can be similar to a cheap wood fence in price, whereas a high-end vinyl fence can cost more than $50 per foot. Trex composite 6-foot privacy fence costs about $55 per foot for materials. Since it is the sturdiest low-maintenance alternative to wood fencing, it tends to be the best overall value if you are looking for a long-lasting fence. For installation, you can expect to add $10-$25 per linear foot for any style of fence in most areas of the country and more than that in high-cost markets. When deciding how much you're willing to spend on your fence, keep in mind that there are other costs in maintenance as well as hours spent keeping your fence looking great. This is where Trex stacks on the value. Trex never needs to be stained or painted, and you don't have to worry about replacing rotted posts or sections that have been eaten up by insects. Not to mention, it's durability far surpasses that of vinyl and wood. Trex vs Other Products goes into a more detailed comparison of fencing materials.
