Your 150-Foot Chain Link Shopping List
Affordable and durable galvanized steel mesh. Ideal for property boundaries, dog runs, and utility areas. Available in 4, 5, and 6-foot heights.
At 10-foot spacing, 150 feet divides into 15 sections. That means 16 line and end posts, plus 2 gate posts if you add a walk gate, for 18 posts total. Each post takes 2 bags of 60 lb concrete, so buy 36 bags. With 1 rails per section you need 15 rails.
Doing it yourself, material cost is about $1,200–$2,250. Hiring a contractor typically adds $5–$15 per foot in labor, or about $750–$2,250 for this length, for an installed total near $1,950–$4,500. Prices vary by region, so treat these as planning numbers.
