JackieMaya Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I have a chain link fence that's been up since about 1960. The fence is 3 feet tall in some spots and 3'6" in some spots. I have about 250 feet of fence. I got an estimate last year of $3,800 to get the fence raised to 6 feet. I was thinking of either getting a wood privacy fence or chain link privacy inserts. But for the time being, my fence is just staying the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis erectus Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I recently fenced off part of my back yard and can give you some approximate prices as I remember them. We don't have alot of money so we went for the most economical option that would work for us. We used a 5 foot 2"x4" wire mesh fence, it's not the sturdiest fence in the world but my girls aren't ever interested in escaping the backyard so it works for us. - 100 foot roll of 2"x4" mesh- $70 - Metal fence posts- $3-$4 each (figure one post for every ten feet) - Package of heavy gauge wire- $2 I also needed to get a couple of tools that I didn't already have: - Heavy duty wire snips- $10 - Post Driver (optional)- $20 You'll probably also want a gate: - 5' Chain Link gate- $35 - 2 Chain Link fence posts- $10 easch - Gate hardware (hinges, latch, post caps)- $5 - 2 bags or quick dry concrete- (can't remember but I think about $10 each) We ended up buying at Lowes but prices all around town weren't really any different. Cost us total about $200 but we didn't have very much to fence off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomeranians Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 We have a pretty good sized yard so that may add up to quite a bit. I'm not exactly sure what type of fence your talking about either, but as long as its strong enough to hold back a couple a labs I think it would work.
