A dog-yard fence quote should describe a finished physical boundary, including openings, corners, ground contact and installation. A roll or kit price can be a helpful material benchmark, but it does not tell the reader what a contractor will charge to enclose a particular yard.
This guide uses Easy Pet Fence’s own base-kit prices and specifications checked in October 2026. They are examples of one material system, not a national installed-fence range or a promise to contain every dog. The later labor, gate and site-work figures are hypothetical inputs that demonstrate how a project subtotal differs from the advertised kit fee.
Key figures
- $524.95 Easy Pet Fence 150-foot kit, four feet high
- $600.95 Easy Pet Fence 150-foot kit, five feet high
- $657.95 Easy Pet Fence 150-foot kit, six feet high
Base kits start at different prices by height
Easy Pet Fence lists 150-foot base steel-hex kits at $524.95 in four-foot height, $600.95 in five-foot height and $657.95 in six-foot height. The checked six-foot listing identifies the base SKU as 20SH611-150-NO and offers separate choices for anti-dig flare, corners, ends, gates and tension kits.
| Published base-kit height | Supplied length | Base price | Price per supplied foot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 ft | 150 ft | $524.95 | About $3.50 |
| 5 ft | 150 ft | $600.95 | About $4.01 |
| 6 ft | 150 ft | $657.95 | About $4.39 |

Source note: Easy Pet Fence's three manufacturer listings, checked in October 2026. Per-foot figures divide the base product price by 150 feet. They exclude labor and selectable extras and are not rates for a finished enclosure.
The five-foot option costs $76 more than the four-foot option; six-foot costs $57 more than five-foot. Six-foot is $133 above four-foot. These are price differences within one product family, not evidence that a height change will prevent a particular dog’s climbing or jumping.
The six-foot page describes PVC-coated, 20-gauge steel hex mesh. Material, mesh size and attachment matter along with height, especially for a dog that pushes, chews or digs. Do not treat a brand’s strength or longevity marketing as proof that every dog is contained for a promised number of years.
Perimeter measurements determine the material quantity
A hypothetical rectangular yard measuring 30 by 40 feet has a perimeter of 140 feet: twice 30 plus twice 40. A four-foot gate opening leaves 136 feet of mesh line if no other openings are present. A 150-foot material length then exceeds that mesh line by 14 feet, before considering installation overlaps and the product’s instructions.
If a 30-foot house wall safely forms one boundary in the same example, the remaining boundary is 110 feet before the gate, or 106 feet of mesh with a four-foot opening. That changes the material demand, but the wall connection, door access and end posts still need to be included in the design.
These calculations use a rectangle. Sloped ground, turns, obstacles and a nonrectangular footprint change the measured route. Walk and measure the planned fence line rather than estimating from lawn area or the property’s advertised square footage.
Distinguish purchased length from installed length when comparing quotes. Dividing $657.95 by the 140-foot perimeter gives about $4.70 per enclosed perimeter foot; dividing it by 150 supplied feet gives about $4.39. Both are arithmetic, but they describe different quantities and neither includes installation.
Corners, gates and ground gaps change the scope
The manufacturer offers corners, ends, gate widths and tensioning as selectable additions. Its guidance calls for corner support when the fence line turns by 45 degrees or more. A rectangle has four 90-degree turns, so do not price a rectangular yard as a plain straight run without checking its bracing needs.
The product description lists certain kit quantities per 100 feet even though the selected length can be 150 feet or more. Ask for the packing list for the ordered size instead of multiplying every component by 1.5 and assuming fractional post quantities describe the shipment.
Ask which gate is included, how wide the clear opening is and how it closes. A lawn-mower opening, pedestrian gate and driveway entrance create different hardware and support requirements. A photo showing a gate does not establish that its latch resists the dog’s behavior or that the opening is part of a base kit.
Check low points and gaps along the bottom, including where the fence meets a wall. The anti-dig option is a separate selectable feature on the manufacturer page; do not assume the base SKU includes it. A dog that digs or chews may require a different design rather than only more fence height.
An installed subtotal includes more than the kit
For a hypothetical project, start with the published $657.95 six-foot kit. Add assumed allowances of $200 for a gate, $100 for corner and tension components, $750 for labor and $150 for site work. The subtotal is $1,857.95, before tax, permits, surveying or other items that the real project may involve.
At the example’s 140-foot perimeter, that subtotal is about $13.27 per perimeter foot. Only the kit price is a published product fee; the installed figure is a worked budget with assumed additions. It should not be advertised as a typical national installation rate.
If labor were $1,000 rather than $750, the same assumed project would total $2,107.95, a $250 increase. This shows why a low material price can coexist with a larger installed quote. Compare who removes old fencing, deals with vegetation and restores disturbed areas before judging a difference in totals.
The adult-dog care budget helps keep this one-time project apart from recurring care. If spreading the hypothetical $1,857.95 over five years for planning, the allocation is $371.59 annually; that is a budget choice, not a warranty or predicted fence lifespan.
The site and the dog determine the finished arrangement
Confirm the boundary location and local installation requirements before ordering. Ask how the contractor identifies the property line and addresses any permissions. This guide does not infer a permit rule from the product’s height or provide a legal determination for an address.
Common Ground Alliance’s 811 guidance includes fence installation among projects requiring a utility-location request before digging. The manufacturer calls its sleeved system “no dig,” but driving sleeves still enters the ground. Contact the state 811 service, follow its wait and response instructions and resolve unmarked private-line questions before ground work.
Check the design against the dog’s behavior, gaps and escape routes, then supervise its use. A fence does not supply exercise coaching or human care during a long absence, and an advertised height is not a guarantee against escape.
The walker cost guide and daycare comparison cover different ways to provide scheduled care. A yard can support a routine, but those recurring services should not be removed from a budget merely because a physical enclosure is installed.
Questions people ask
What does the six-foot base kit cost?
The checked 150-foot steel-hex base listing is $657.95. Selectable corners, gates, anti-dig features, tensioning and installation can increase the project total.
Is $4.39 per foot an installed price?
No. It divides $657.95 by 150 supplied feet of kit material. It does not include labor or the extras needed to finish a measured enclosure.
How much mesh does a 30-by-40-foot yard require?
Its full perimeter is 140 feet. One four-foot gate leaves 136 feet of mesh line before overlaps or other installation allowances; a safely used house wall can change the route.
Does a no-dig kit eliminate utility checks?
No. Sleeves or stakes still enter the ground. Follow the state 811 process and clarify private utility lines and the work area before installation.
