A chain link fence is the most affordable fence type at Northland Fence of Apple Valley. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $4-10 per foot of fencing needed for their project depending on the height and size of the fence.
The actual cost of a chain link fence breaks down into a few different parts - the cost of materials and the cost of installation. The materials will affect the pricing more than the installation time. However, while more materials mean a higher base cost, it also means more installation time is needed. It all depends on your project space and needs.
The first thing you will need to calculate is the cost of the materials for your fencing projects. This includes posts, all the parts a post needs to hook onto the fence, the chain link fabric, the top rails, the end caps, and the extra screws and wires needed to install the fence.
The cost of the materials is going to be the biggest part of the price tag, and the fabric of the fence is the most expensive material. The more fabric you need, the more expensive your fence will be. Depending on your project, there may be additional material costs. For example, if you would like a gate or panels of chain link rather than fabric, it may be more expensive.
However, when you partner with Northland Fence of Apple Valley, we guarantee the best material products for the best deals on the market. We know how to navigate the fencing industry and find the best deals for bulk product purchases. This means that we can purchase products at a low rate and transfer those deals to our customers easily.
In short, yes. The height, length, and size of your chain link fence are going to be the most influential factor in the final price tag of your project. This is because, the bigger the fence, the more fabric you need to purchase.
Any increase in height, length, or size is going to increase your price point. However, chain link fencing is also the most affordable fence type, and that’s what makes it great for larger projects. When you compare it to types like vinyl or ornamental fencing, those materials are significantly more expensive and larger projects rack up the money quickly.
With chain link fencing, it is easy for commercial or large residential projects to need big fences and still be able to afford the installation. So while height, length, and size affect the cost of a chain link fence, we still highly recommend this fence type for big and long projects because it will be significantly more affordable than other fence types.
The final part of calculating the cost of a chain link fence is thinking about the installation. Some people may opt to try and do the installation themselves. While economically this may be a cheaper option than hiring a company, there are many other costs and disadvantages that you will face with DIY installation.
While chain link fencing is one of the easier fence types to install, this is only if you know what you are doing. There are a lot of small pieces to keep track of, and a lot of tools you need that aren’t always found in the general household or toolbox. Continuously needing to purchase missing parts and tools can make this option more expensive than just hiring a company.
Also, doing it yourself takes time. This is time you could be spending with your family, resting, or working. If you make many mistakes, the time needed to install the chain link fence only increases. Hiring a company frees up your schedule, and shortens the amount of time it takes to install the fence.
Hiring a contracting company to install your chain link fence is simply easier and will give you more peace of mind. They will install it right the first time and you won’t need to add more to your investment to cover mistakes or missing parts. They do all the work and you can simply relax and enjoy looking at your new chain link fence when it’s done.
