What Will Be The Cost Of Fencing Per Acre ?
Now, let us find out the answer for one of the FAQs “What will be the cost of fencing per acre?”
My response is, This is a non-answerable wrong question.
The reason is, the area of any land does not define its perimeter. The cost differs from one land to another having the same measured area.
I will illustrate this with the following 2 examples.
1. Land no 1:
Given data:
Length of side AB = CD = 208 ft.
Length of side AD = BC = 209.42 ft.
Area of rectangular land
= [length × breadth]
= [209.42 ft. × 208 ft.]
= 43,560 sq ft. = 1 acre
[ As 1acre = 43,560 sq ft.]Perimeter of land no 1.
= [side AB + side BC + side CD + side DA]
= [208 ft. + 209.42 ft. + 208 ft. + 209.42 ft.]
= 834.84 ft.
2. Land no 2:
Given data:
Length of side AB = CD = 80 ft.
Length of side AD = BC = 544.5 ft.
Area of rectangular land
= [length × breadth]
= [544.5 ft. × 80 ft.]
= 43,560 sq ft. = 1 acre
[ As 1acre = 43,560 sq ft.]The perimeter of land no 2.
= [side AB + side BC + side CD + side DA]
= [80 ft. + 544.5 ft. + 80 ft. + 544.5 ft.]
= 1249 ft.
Now, let us consider installing a barbed-wire fence of the same height for both types of land.
(part 4).
Let us find out the material & labor cost for barbed wire fencing for the land.
Material cost:
Sl.No. Description Quantity Rate Unit Amount
1. RCC fencing poles 40.0 270 no. 10,800=00
2. Boulder for packing 0.42417 1400 cum 593=83
3. Cement bags for
concreting 6.837 400 bag 2734=80
4. Sand for
concreting 0.3563 2200 cum. 783=86
5. Aggregate for
concreting 0.4751 1850 cum. 878=93
6. Barbed wire for
fencing 37.88 150 kg. 5682=00
Total material cost for fencing = INR 21,473.42
Labor cost:
Sl.No. Description Quantity Rate Unit Amount
1. Earthwork excavation
for the fencing pole 1.27251 800 cum 1017=60
2. Installation and
concreting the pole 40 120 no. 4800=00
3. Tying fencing wire 840 3 meter 2520=00
Total labor cost for fencing =INR 8337.00
The total cost of fencing the land
= [total material cost + labor cost]
= [ 21473.42 + 8337]
= INR 29810.42

Cost per running ft.
= [total cost ÷ perimeter of the land in ft.]
= [29810.42 ÷ 260 ft.]
= 114.65/R.FT.
= 376.64 / running meter.
1. Cost of fencing for land 1
= [ perimeter × fence cost/ r ft.]
= [ 834.84 ft. × 114.65/-]
= INR 95,714.4/-
2. Cost of fencing for land 2
= [ perimeter × fence cost/ r ft.]
= [ 1249 ft. × 114.65/-]
= INR 1,43,197.85/-
Note: The fencing cost / r ft. is taken from the above-linked article.
The difference in the fencing cost of land 1 & land 2
= [1,43,197.85 – 95, 714.4]
= 47,483.45/-
I hope you understood why we cannot answer this question.
