Once that fence goes up, your yard finally feels like yours. No more awkward eye contact with neighbors when you are drinking coffee on the deck, and no more worrying about the dog slipping away. It only takes a crew two or three days to build, but booking them in late autumn is the real trick. Contractors are looking for work as the summer rush dies down, which means better prices and faster start dates.
A standard wood or vinyl fence runs about $4,800. Instead of draining your savings all at once, we can use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card to spread the cost. It gives you 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening, which makes the project much easier on your monthly budget.
Remember, this 0% interest rate is a temporary window, not free money. If you have any balance left over after the 18 months are up, the regular interest rate will kick in on whatever is left, which will quickly make your new fence a lot more expensive.
