At Northland Fence of Woodbury, a chain link fence is the most budget-friendly option available. Homeowners typically spend between $4 and $10 per foot of fencing, depending on the desired height and size of the fence for their project.
The actual cost of a chain link fence from Northland Fence of Woodbury consists of two main components: the cost of materials and the cost of installation. The price of materials has a greater impact on the overall cost than the installation time. However, an increase in materials will not only raise the base cost but also extend the installation time. Ultimately, the total cost will depend on the specifics of your project space and requirements.
The first step in calculating the cost of your fencing project is to determine the expense of the materials. This includes posts, the components needed to attach the posts to the fence, the chain link fabric, top rails, end caps, and any additional screws and wires necessary for installation.
The material costs will constitute the largest portion of the overall price, with the chain link fabric being the most expensive component. The more fabric you require, the higher the cost of your fence. Additionally, there may be other material expenses depending on your project. For instance, opting for a gate or chain link panels instead of fabric can increase the cost.
However, when you partner with Woodbury, we guarantee the highest quality materials at the best prices available. Our expertise in navigating the fencing industry allows us to secure the best deals on bulk product purchases. This enables us to acquire materials at a low cost and pass those savings directly on to our customers.
In short, yes. The height, length, and size of your chain link fence will be the most significant factors affecting the final cost of your project. At Woodbury, we understand that a larger fence requires more fabric, which directly impacts the overall price.
Any increase in height, length, or size will raise the cost of your project. However, chain link fencing remains the most affordable option, making it ideal for larger projects. Compared to vinyl or ornamental fencing, which are significantly more expensive, chain link fencing allows you to manage costs effectively, even for extensive installations.
With chain link fencing, even large commercial or extensive residential projects can affordably accommodate substantial fence installations. While height, length, and size do influence the overall cost, we highly recommend chain link fencing for extensive projects. It remains significantly more affordable than other fence types, making it an excellent choice for large-scale installations.
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.
