We just redid ours North of Austin (normal wood privacy fence with no overlap or sections flipping back and fourth). Never have understood why anyone would want that. I bought materials at Viking fence, with galvanized steel posts, cedar 2x4s and 1x4x6 2+ pickets. It was about $125 per 8 foot section in materials including brackets, lag screw, and galvanized round head nails in my nailgun. We did all labor ourselves with neighbors help or 16 year old sons.
I can also attest to the fact that lumber prices increased recently, concerning Western Red Cedar. The second set of pickets I bought, for the other side of the house, was roughly 20% more than the originals.
If you do decide to do any of it yourself, the pickets they sell at Viking in the 2+ grade are about 10 times better than anything else I found in town. You could literally nail 2 from Lowes together, and not have as thick of a picket.
