Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart should chain link fence posts be?
Line posts should be spaced no more than 10 feet apart. Terminal posts (end, corner, and gate posts) are placed at each change of direction, gate opening, and fence end. Closer spacing provides a sturdier fence.
How deep should chain link fence posts be?
Post holes should be 3 times the post diameter wide and about 1/3 of the total post length deep plus 6 inches for gravel drainage. For a 6-foot fence with 8-foot posts, dig holes 30-36 inches deep.
How much does a chain link fence cost per foot?
DIY chain link fence materials cost $7-$15 per linear foot for a 4-foot fence and $10-$20 per foot for a 6-foot fence. Professional installation adds $5-$15 per foot for labor.
