Below, we delve into the pricing specifics for 6ft and 8ft board on board cedar fences in Texas, reflecting the premium nature of this material.

​

Pricing for Premium Cedar Fences

• 6ft Board on Board Cedar Fence: $35 to $65 per linear foot

  • The pricing for a 6-foot cedar fence accounts for the higher quality of wood, the complexity of the board on board design which offers no gaps between the boards for enhanced privacy, and the finish that highlights cedar's natural beauty. This price range includes both material and labor costs.

• 8ft Board on Board Cedar Fence: $55 to $100 per linear foot

  • An 8-foot fence, due to its additional height, requires more material and slightly more labor, which is reflected in the higher price range. This option is ideal for those seeking maximum privacy and a robust fence line.
