Chain Link FAQs

Frequently asked chain link questions.

How much does a 4ft or 6ft chain link fence cost per linear foot?

A chain link fence costs between $10 and $25 per linear foot installed. Standard galvanized 4ft chain link averages $10–$16/ft, while 6ft black vinyl-coated chain link ranges from $18–$25/ft.

What is the difference between Galvanized and Black Vinyl Chain Link?

Galvanized chain link is silver zinc-coated steel, ideal for budget containment. Black or green vinyl-coated chain link wraps the wire in protective PVC, blending into landscaping and offering rust protection.

Can you make a chain link fence private?

Yes. Inserting polyethylene privacy slats into chain link mesh adds 75% to 90% wind and visual privacy, costing an extra $3 to $6 per linear foot.
