How long does it take to install a chain link fence?

Installing a chain link fence takes about two days. One day is for setting the posts in concrete, and the next is for installing the fence. Additional time may be needed if your project covers more than 150 feet. Talk with your fencing contractor before starting to determine the total time required for your project.

How long does a chain link fence last?

With proper maintenance, a chain link fence can last up to 20 years. Regular care helps prevent issues like sagging due to tension wire stretching or loose posts. Repairs range from $300 to $800 on average, though major repairs can exceed $1,500. Depending on the severity of the damage, replacement can also be a cost-effective long-term option.

Is chain link fencing cheaper than wood fencing

Chain link fencing is often more affordable than wood fencing. Wooden fencing costs $20 to $50 per linear foot, including labor and materials, whereas chain link fences are more budget-friendly at $8 to $40 per linear foot. The design options, materials, and local labor rates will determine the total cost.

What is the price of renting a temporary chain link fence?

Renting a temporary chain link fence costs an average of $2 per linear foot per month. However, prices can vary depending on your location, the total length of fencing required, and the rental duration. Short-term rentals often come with additional fees, such as delivery, setup, or removal charges that increase your overall cost.

"Buyer Beware Run Away! (we dealt with the Veterans Hwy office) Fence and Deck Connection is an unprofessional organization that "installs" fences poorly. Don't beleive me, keep reading. We hired Fence and Deck Connection to install roughly 10 feet of privacy fence and gate. We assumed that they were professional enough to plan, execute, and provide quality control for the project. Well none of that is true. Chris, the project manager, failed to plan, control, or lead the project. He delivered the wrong plans to the crew which put the fence in the wrong spot swinging the wrong way. The first attempt at our fence was wrong in every way. They had to come back--take it all down and rebuild it from scratch. Chris povided no leadership or quality control during the process. In fact, he couldn't be bothered to come back and check the work. On the first go the crew dumped dry concrete mix down the fence post holes and when confronted about it Chris attempted to claim this a dry pour. He said that this will harden with ground moisture into solid concrete. The crew that installed the fence on both occasions were not properly equipped to do the job given that the fence parts are not even cut to the right dimensions. To be clear we just left the "fixed" version with its poor install quality alone becasue the issues aren't worth having the fence rebuilt a third time. Things like the gate not being even, or that we were told by Bob, who is Chris's boss, that the fence was going to need be adjusted by September-- 5 months after install. The company treated us with a lack of respect and a lack of professionalism when it came our justified complaints about the wrong install, poor communication, customer service and workmanship. In fact, Joel told us that it was essentially our fault that the fence was wrong for providing the wrong plans, when the company was in fact in charge of that. Leaving aside the blatent deception with the "concrete" with no water-- which is all on video. I am sure this low-grade company will try to convince you that we are unreasonable customers or that they fixed it so all should be forgiven. Sure, we are unreasonable for thinking they should do a good job. Yes we are unreasonable for thinking that we should not have to watch them to make sure they do a good job. We are unreasonble for being insulted with a $100 Amazon gift card as a "good faith" gesture as if the issues weren't that bad when they had to completely replace and remeasure all fencing and gate. The time for them to make it right was immediately, and to leave a good impression started on day one. They left us running away. They demonstrated a lack of professionalism--sneaking onto our property to install the fence the first time saying nothing and sneaking away saying nothing when finished. The project manager couldn't even be bothered to keep the basics straight. Where the gate goes, how big it should be, where the posts go, what plan the workers needed-- nothing. This company is utterly incompetent and no matter what deal they offer you it is waste of your time and money."
