 After providing your compound length and width in the estimating program, you will receive the average budgetary price that a fencing contractor will provide to furnish and install your 6’ high chain link fence with 1’ of barbed wire based upon the above specifications. Pricing will vary depending upon location, site  conditions, and increased material specifications as well as additional fencing requirements such as including a pedestrian or rolling gate. Also, add to your pricing, if required a multi-lock system (See Security Systems/Locking Devices ). Check with your fencing contractor for specialized fences required to meet zoning regulations. If you require a 4'-wide pedestrian gate it will average $477. If a 16' cattle gate is required for the project (2, 8' gates), budget $1,100 .
