Logan labor market for aluminum fence
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Logan is 0.92 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.86 an hour, which is 18% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.08 and $29.12 an hour. BLS counts 490 of them working in the area, 73.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 40% of the weighting: a median of $22.19 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.88 and $26.60 an hour. About 650 work in the metro. That is 97.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 20% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Logan metro, so we used the Utah statewide median: $30.36 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.80 and $36.69 an hour.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($29.12 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $190. At the 25th percentile ($19.08) it shrinks by about $170. The total moves by 2.6% or 2.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 66,800 jobs in the Logan area. That makes it the 271st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $19.08 | $23.86 | $29.12 | $29.12 | 0.82 | metro |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 40% | $18.88 | $22.19 | $26.60 | $22.66 | 0.98 | metro |

Climate in Logan: timing your aluminum fence job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Logan Radio Kvnu (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
March through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Logan (9 of 12 months). January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Logan gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 44 inches of snow. The wettest months are March, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 35 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Aluminum fence: what moves the price in Logan
Soil and slope
Steep slopes and rocky clay can add $15-$20+ per linear foot in labor.
Pool codes
Many codes require a pool barrier with gaps under 4 inches, which influences the style you can buy.

Extras that change the Logan total
Extras are quoted nationally and then scaled to Logan by the average of the local wage index (0.92) and goods index (0.96), a factor of 0.94.
