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.
To get a clearer idea about how much a project might cost, check out the chain link fence installation cost guide and project cost estimator at Porch.com.
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 to keep appointment. Excellent value. 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, ...
We needed a new front railing as well as a new mailbox and post. Adam was awesome! He was prompt, courteous, thorough and honest. The actual cost of the job turned out to be less than his original estimate. We plan to use Adam again and would highly recom...
Excellent to keep appointment. Excellent value. Excellent responsiveness in communication.
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.
Brian and his crew were very responsive and professional. I asked that they coordinate their framing work with the folks that were putting on siding. They were on time and it all came together very nicely. After the wood work was completed, I tacked on...
He never showed up for appointment and never called. I assume he found something more important to do, and that my time wasn't even worth a phone call.
Iotta services is not a company you want to do even the most simple jobs.
CHS has done a number of jobs for me ranging from replacing garbage disposal , installing a light fixture hanging a TV , installing electrical outlet. The list goes on all of which were done for a reasonable price! Joel cleaned up when he was finished an...
I wouldn’t recommend this service because the owner - who came out to complete a number of tasks both before & after I moved in - didn’t follow through with the simplest of work, which is following through on his word. This is important to me because my e...
