Fence pricing is close to arithmetic: linear feet × installed cost per foot for your material. The per-foot ranges below match our published Toms River service pages — chain link at roughly $15–$30 installed, wood privacy $25–$55, vinyl $30–$60, and aluminum $30–$70 — with gates, tear-out, and tough terrain as the usual extras a written quote pins down.
Measure your run off a property survey if you have one (a typical suburban backyard perimeter is 120–200 linear feet). And budget the paperwork: every Toms River fence needs a $75 zoning permit, six feet is the ceiling in non-waterfront side and rear yards, and pool enclosures carry their own barrier-code requirements — our fence permit guide walks through all of it.

No — add the flat $75 township zoning permit fee to any fence project here. A denied application costs another $75 to resubmit, which is why we design every fence to pass zoning review the first time.
Material cost. The long-game math differs: vinyl and aluminum shrug off shore weather that makes wood a maintenance commitment. Near salt air, hardware and coating specs matter as much as the material tier — our shore-weather materials guide compares lifespans.
Height, premium styles, gates, old-fence tear-out, and sandy-soil post setting. Chain link with vinyl-coated fabric, tall board-on-board cedar, and premium vinyl styles all price above their material's base band.
