Costs to Install a Chain Link Fence
Frequently asked questions about chain link fence installation services
The cost to install a chain link fence can vary widely, depending on where you live, the terrain where the fence will be installed, and how in-demand chain link fence installers are. The height and length of the fence are the main factors in how much a chain link fence installation will cost.
On average, however, it costs around $8-$20 per linear foot to install a chain link fence.

In general, chain link fence posts shouldn’t be installed more than 10 feet apart. They should be spaced evenly for aesthetic purposes, so it’s wise to measure the space between terminal posts (also known as fence end points), and then determine the average space required to evenly space posts less than 10 feet apart. Ideally, fence posts should be placed six-to-eight feet apart for maximum stability.
While it’s possible to install a chain link fence yourself, there’s a lot to know ahead of time before you decide to go the DIY route. Once you know how much planning, prep work, specialized tools, and labor is involved, you may decide it’s best to hire a professional to install a chain link fence for you.
But if you’re ready for a challenge, it can be done! First, buy your materials. You’ll need to measure properly to make sure you have enough materials for the linear size of the fence. You’ll also need concrete, and miscellaneous fence installation tools like a mallet and a post-hole digger. Next, dig post holes at least 2 feet deep (more for taller fences). Then set posts in holes with concrete. After the posts are set and concrete is dry, attach tension bands and gate hardware, install end caps, and attach rails. You’re now ready to unroll the metal mesh and install the tension bar. Finally attach the tension bar to the posts.
Chain link fences are typically less expensive than wood fences and stone fences. This is mostly due to labor costs, as chain link fence materials are relatively inexpensive and take less time to install.
Vinyl coated wire mesh is the least expensive type of fence to install and is quite durable. It’s not very attractive, however, so it isn’t recommended for high-visibility areas. So while it’s not the cheapest, chain link fencing is a nice compromise between high-end wood and stone fences and less expensive but unattractive wire mesh fences.

Excellent responsiveness in communication. Excellent work quality. Would recommend.
The project went very well. Adam was efficient in his work, and he cleaned up the area very well upon completion. He is a great professional, and I would recommend him to anyone.
Adam said he'd be here at 2:00 pm and showed up 10 minutes early. Not like other business people that give you a two hour window. He came in looked at the area for the attic stairs, thought it was a replacement, saw it was a new install, and didn't care, ...
Excellent responsiveness in communication. Excellent work quality. Excellent value.
Thought job might be too small for Adam. Not this conscientious young man. Returns calls, reconfirms appointments, calls before arrival, prompt, efficient, very reasonable cost. I would recommend Adam for carpentry work anytime.
Bryan did some work on my house a while back. He was recommended by my realtor. After he didn't show up to 3 different appointments, I decided I didn't want to work with him. I then learned that the lawyer had made a mistake and had already given my money...
Bryan did siding and roof work on two tool sheds for me to bring them into code compliance. He did an excellent job in a timely manner (including dealing with city permits), and at a reasonable price.
