Materials needed for a chain link fence project
About this calculator
Pricing a chain link fence starts with the perimeter. Enter the total linear feet plus the number of gates, and the calculator estimates fabric rolls, line posts, terminal posts, top rail, and concrete — with spacing at the standard 10 feet between posts.
Posts equal perimeter ÷ 10 (plus corners and gate posts), fabric comes in 50-foot rolls, and concrete runs about one 60 lb bag per post hole. Gates add hardware and wider terminal posts, which is why two small gates can cost more than the fence between them.
Tip: Call your utility locator before digging — hitting a buried line is expensive and dangerous, and most regions mark them free within a few business days.
