Vinyl-Coated Chain-Link Fence Costs
A 100-foot-by-4-foot vinyl-coated chain fence costs $1,000 to $4,800. Add $1,000 or more to increase it to a 6-foot height. It comes in standard colors of black, white, green, brown, gray, redwood, and beige. Custom colors are available though it may drive the price up and delay installation.
Types of Vinyl-Covered Chain-Link
Vinyl coatings come in three varieties: powder coated, extruded and bonded, and extruded. The gauge of the wire is sometimes calculated on the underlying wire size and sometimes with the thickness of the coating included.
Class 1 extruded: The least expensive product with the PVC coating simply pulled over the wire much like you pull a glove onto your hand.
Class 2A extruded and bonded: Mid-grade quality used extensively in home and commercial applications. It’s the same as the above extruded method but also glued to the internal wire with a strong adhesive.
Class 2B thermally bonded: The superior product with the thinnest, hardest, and most durable coating. It uses vat-dipped powder coating methods to chemically bond the PVC to the wire.
Brown, White, and Green Chain-Link Fence Prices
The only difference between black, brown, green, and white is the color of PVC used. There are no other differences in price or use. Choose the color that best fits your home. You can find other colors like redwood, gray, and beige, though they are not commonly stocked at suppliers or home improvement stores.
Black Chain-Link Fences vs. Other Chain-Link Types
Trying to decide between the less expensive galvanized, aluminized, and the higher-priced vinyl? They all have roughly the same life span of 15 to 20 years and require almost no maintenance. The main issues are cost, durability, and design.Â
Standard chain link fence installation costs $1,300 to $3,300, about half as much as black vinyl.
