| Would anyone have any idea how much about 70 feet of fencing would cost
in Berks Co., PA? Installation included. Is there a per foot average?
The least expensive would be preferred as this is a rental and I want it
for my dogs. 4 feet tall is fine. Is cyclone fencing the cheapest?
I realize it's a tough question to answer but any advise/suggestions are
appreciated. I just want to know if I'd be looking at $1000 or $5000.

| Well, I am not in PA (I'm in California where everything is expensive),
but I recently had 74' of 4' chainlink fencing replaced at my house
that a drunk driver took out; for installation of new fence, poles,
and rails it came to $700.

Holy smokes! I think I got the wrong estimate. I'm looking for 80 feet of 6'
chain link. First quote was $3200.00!!!!!!!!

| My wife and I just bought a house, and I need to fence in the back yard
for my dog. I got 2 quotes - the first was over $5100, the second was
for $2200.
This is for a 48" stick build fence, 4x4 posts set in concrete, 2
gates...

Okay, we've got $700 to $5100. I guess I have to make calls. Maybe if I
buy all the materials, the landlord will put it in with his son. Is it
very hard for 2 guys to do put a chainlink fence in?

| Chain link quality varies all over the lot, from cheap poorly
galavanized wire that will rust fast to heavy top quality vinyl coated
mesh.
from cheap thin poles literally just pounded in ground, to top quality
schedule 40 or 80 heavy pipe rustproofed inside mounted securely in pre
dug holes filled with concrete.
such explains price differences

mine is 9 gauge galvanized wire with pipes mounted securely in pre-dug holes
filled with concrete. such is the extent of my knowledge. it keeps the
idiot neighbors off my property and is uniform with all the other fencing in
the immediate area. that's all i care about.

I am going to head over to Home Depot tomorrow to check out prices of
materials. Then I'll approach my landlord. I am hoping he will take me
up on an offer to buy all materials if he and his son (and I can help
too) install it.

| Bonnie,
A rule of thumb that I like to use for budgeting - find out what the
materials will cost (Home Depot or most any lumber yard is happy to
help). Then double the cost and add a little.
It is not an exact, but it gives a starting point. Once you've done
this, call around to a few of the local fencing companies and see if
they can give you a ballpark over the phone. Make sure that the
materials they are quoting are the same or close the same to the
specifications from Home Depot or the supply yard.
Note that there can be a big difference in the cost of the fencing
depending on the wire guage, coatings and post sizes.
