Wages vary by employer and area of the country. Workers who belong to a union generally receive higher wages than those who are not union members. Because construction work in many locations stops in the winter, workers may go without pay for a few months.
Benefits also vary by employer. Full-time fence builders may receive typical benefits. These include vacation, sick leave, and health insurance. Those who work for a small company must provide their own insurance.
