doing it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much is a board and batten fence? The contractor cost to build a board and batten fence is $1991 vs. doing it yourself for $1200 and saving 40 percent.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a way to create some privacy from a noisy street or neighbor a fence made of boards and battens &#8211; vertical wood panels between posts &#8211; makes an attractive and effective barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen the fence panels used to enclose an entire yard or just part of one, and as a privacy screen for a patio, so they can be a useful solution in a variety of settings. You&#8217;ll find 4-foot-by-8-foot panels in long-lasting treated lumber and rough-sawn cedar at lumber and home centers. Left natural or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/stain-wood-fence\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/stain-wood-fence\/\" target=\"_blank\">stained<\/a>, they&#8217;re an attractive addition to any landscape.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fence contractor will build a 6-foot-high, 100-foot-long treated board and batten fence for about $1991. That includes labor and material. You can buy the materials for $1200 and built it and save 40 percent. Fence building is a time-consuming project that requires careful planning and layout to the more arduous job of digging holes for the fence poles, so figure a few long workdays to complete the job.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The materials include the fence sections, end posts, cement, and galvanized nails. You&#8217;ll need to have a shovel, wheelbarrow, 4 ft. carpenter&#8217;s level, and basic carpentry tools. To make the job easier rent or borrow a post hole digger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you do anything, contact your local building department and ask if there are building code requirements and permits needed to build a fence &#8211; there usually are. Find out what the required depth for post holes is because it depends on the frost line (how deep the ground freezes) in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be other restrictions about the height of the fence or how close it can be to your neighbor&#x2019;s property. Refer to a copy of your property survey to make sure you know exactly where your property begins and ends to avoid building a fence on your neighbor&#8217;s property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrapping up, given the average cost to build a board and batten fence you can compare the price of a contractor&#x2019;s bid with doing it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still deciding on which type of fence to build?
