More info needed. Wood fence? If so, pine, cedar, fir? Privacy, picket, lattice topped, split rail, or maybe even neighbor friendly fence?
There is also vinyl fencing with the same style options.
Then there's chain link, which you can get in a variety of heights, and wrought iron fencing as well. (You can even get vinyl fencing that looks like wrought iron!!)
Bamboo fences are popular, as are reed/ rush/ dried wheatie-whatever fences.
Depending on what material you choose, the amount of posts you will need will vary..... which changes how many pier blocks, cement, sonotubes or whatnot you need to buy.
Then you have to take into consideration if you want any gates, and if so - how many.... blah blah blah.

Trust me - we just built our house, and we looked into fence costs as well. I gave up and bought $1500 worth of trees. (we are talking Alaska here - nothing is cheap)

Ooooh..... and most importantly, do it yourself, or hire someone?
