An 8-foot fence runs $42–$58 per linear foot. Custom steel-framed gates are $400–$1,200 each.

Steel pipe posts set in concrete are the longest-lived choice — 40+ years — and they don't rot at the ground line. Pressure-treated 4×6 posts last 15–20 years and cost $4–$7 less per linear foot. Cedar 4×4 posts rot at grade in 8–10 years; we don't recommend them.
Use #2 or better cedar pickets — kiln-dried where possible. The wet, knotty pickets sold at big-box stores warp the first summer in Texas heat. The price difference at the lumberyard is small; the lifespan difference is huge.
Holes go 30" deep minimum, 10" wide, with 6" of gravel at the bottom for drainage and concrete mounded above grade so water sheds away from the post. Shallow holes set in dirt are how cheap fences fall over in 3–5 years.
Standard dog-ear is the budget choice. Board-on-board (overlapping pickets so there are no gaps when the wood shrinks) adds ~15%. Horizontal modern style with 1×6 cedar slats adds 25–40%. Top caps and trim boards add $3–$6 per linear foot.
A wood gate frame sags in two years. We build with welded steel frames clad in matching cedar — they stay square. Heavy-duty hinges (3 per gate, lag-bolted into 6×6 posts), drop rods, and magnetic latches all live on the quote.
