Chain link is the most affordable fence per foot and goes up quickly. It is common for side yards, dog runs, back lots, utility areas and commercial perimeters, and lets wind straight through, which counts for something on the Coastal Bend.
Options
- Galvanized: the standard silver finish. Heavier zinc coatings and thicker wire last longer near salt water.
- Vinyl-coated (usually black or green): a polymer coat over galvanized wire. Looks better and adds a second layer against corrosion.
- Privacy slats: slats woven into the mesh add some screening. They also catch wind, so posts need to suit.
- Heights: 4 ft for yards, 6 ft for dogs and back lots, 8 to 12 ft for commercial and security.
Ask about
Wire gauge, post diameter and wall thickness, terminal and gate post size, a top rail or tension wire, and the coating weight. Cheap fittings are often the first parts to rust.
Typical installed cost: $10 to $40 per linear foot (Fixr, Angi, HomeGuide, Bob Vila). See the cost guide.
