How to Drive Down Your Chain Link Fence Installation Price
Chain link fences are an affordable alternative to other types of fences. They provide good barricades for children and pets while offering an unobstructed view. This video demonstrates how homeowners can save money on their chain link fence installations. According to Home Advisor, the average cost to install a chain link fence is $2,244 and ranges from $1,294 to $3,422. The average price per linear foot is $10 to $20 though it can go even higher depending on the height and material used.
One way homeowners can reduce the chain link fence installation price is by using galvanized steel. It is cheaper than aluminum-coated, vinyl-coated, and cyclone fencing types. The other way is by increasing the gauge size. The lower the gauge is, the thicker and stronger the steel. Budget-conscious homeowners may want to consider using higher gauges to save money, but anything less than 11 ½ gauge is not recommended for residential use. Thirdly, homeowners can save money by using cheaper, regular concrete instead of quick-setting concrete. Both work equally as well. Lastly, homeowners can save money by finding out if they can split costs with their neighbors.
