Cost of Chain Link Fence Installation
By ProMatcher Staff
It costs on average $13.58 per linear foot to install a four foot high chain link fence (Range: $11.49 - $15.67). Take a look at our Chain Link Fence Installation Costs & Prices – ProMatcher Cost Report which will provide you some estimated prices in your local area.
Here are some items that will factor into the cost of hiring a contractor to install chain link fence:
1. The height of the fence and the size of the area you need fenced. Chain link fence installation costs are based on linear feet, so the taller the fence and the larger the area, the higher the cost.
2. Fence materials. Galvanized steel fencing is less expensive than vinyl coated fencing.
3. Privacy slats. Anything which increases the wind load on the fence may require placing the fence posts closer together or upgrading the framework. The cost of the slats, an increase in the number of fence posts required and the upgraded framework will increase the cost of installation.
4. The depth of the fence posts The wider and taller the fence post the deeper the hole for the fence post. The softer the surface, the deeper the hole for the fence post. Additional time and equipment for digging post holes may increase the cost of your chain link fence installation.
5. Do you have difficult terrain? If your lot is rocky or hilly, it will take the contractor longer to install chain link fencing than if your lot is smooth and straight. Difficult terrain will increase the cost of chain link fence installation.
6. Do you need a gate? Adding a gate to your project will increase the overall cost. If the contractor is able to use a prefabricated gate, the cost of a gate will be less expensive than having one custom made. The cost of a walkway gate is less than the cost of a driveway gate.
