How to Estimate a Chain Link Fence

Chain link estimates center on fabric length and height, terminal and line posts, top rail, fittings, and gates. Mesh size and gauge change cost quickly.

Line items to include

  • ✓Fabric (plus overlap / waste)
  • ✓Terminal posts (ends, corners, gates) and line posts
  • ✓Top rail and fittings
  • ✓Tension wire, ties, and hardware
  • ✓Gates and heavier gate posts
